Tadpoles!



Last summer we caught a few polywogs in a pond at a local park and brought them home to the fountain in our front yard. Despite very harsh conditions (I am always draining and cleaning the "pond" as we call it) at least 3 polywogs survived to adulthood because we have 3 very loud frogs in our yard where there once were none. That was last summer. This summer our loud frogs have become involved in a summer romance because our pond is full (I mean 100s) of polywogs. The day we discovered this was a very happy one for us. We now take very good care of the pond and hope to be overrun with frogs by summer end.
