sign of spring
We've had a couple of 60 degree days here in Baltimore. I went outside
today to look at the pond, and my painted turtle was swimming around. When the weather cools againn, he'll go back to sleep for a while, but it was nice to see he made it through another hibernation. This means it's about time for me to solicit toad tadpoles from anyone in this area.

It was a sunny day in the 50s. -- Carol... My website: http://www.heartoftn.net/users/windsong/index.html [Insert humorous, clever or profound quote here] ~~~~~~~~~{@ ~~~~~~~~~{@ ~~~~~~~~~{@ |

There's still about a foot of snow covering my gardens and ponds but we
had temps near 50 the last few days so the stuff is finally melting :-) I can't wait to stop digging in my dreams and start digging my new, bigger koi pond for real! Denise Visit my gardens: http://web1.in4web.com/mtcdrc |

They'll soon be spawning and we expect more baby koi again this year. We need to thin them out again..... -- Carol...

I saw a gecko 2 days ago. That's always a good sign. On Tue, 2 Mar 2004 02:20:49 -0600, "~ Windsong ~" wrote: "Denise" wrote in message ...

Never saw then again after a few weeks. Depending on what happens, I may have some for you and I am in Ellicott City. BV. www.iheartmypond.com |
