The Appearance of the Frog in the Pond

Yesterday I topped off our pond. The fish were enjoyingthe aerated water comingmout of the filter. Birds were coming for drinks. As I stood andtook in the beauty of spring, one of our frogs emerged.

The frogs and toads and box turtles have been paying us compliments each spring. They have chosen to stay put. They could leave, but they have remained.

It was such a cool thing to see a tadpole we had placed in the pond last year, emerge fully grown and welcoming the spring.
