Tadpoles

We have been watching some tadpoles grow in our swale. While it was at a heat index of 103... we went out and moved some from one side that had only a little water left to the other side which had more.

Now we were able to find a tadpole with 4 legs instead of just two...

Rain, rain, rain. Means we now have lots of water for the tadpoles and mosquitoes. Hopefully, I can get pictures of the kids with some small frogs. Then the kids and I can make a 'journal' of our adventure. High hopes... we'll see how it goes in reality. ;-)

I heart tadpoles! And frogs. But I must offer up a hearty "ECH!" about the shirt Tater is wearing. I do not do spiders.

Do you know for Xmas one year I PAID for tadpoles as a gift for the boys. No kidding... a mail order tadpole place and they MAIL THEM TO YOU so you can watch them turn into frogs. And you have them in your frickin' backyard?

Yeah. We won't go there...
