SOOO Off Topic, but I just gotta share ... FROGS! Tonight Tom was getting ready to leave for work and there it was RIBBIT RIBBIT! YES!!!! But it gets better! About a half hour later I began hearing CROAK CROAK ... at first I thought it was the same frog, but after a while I was hearing CROAK RIBBIT CROAK RIBBIT ... There are TWO frogs down there! WOOOHOOO!
Our "pond" currently is very basic ... we put the liner back in and filled it with water to hold it down. The streams are finished, but have no water running in them. We have no pumps or anything and all we have done is bucket out water every so often after watering the yard or a big rain so it isnt overflowing. We had some algae growth durring the hot spell, but now have mostly natural bacteria. There are 2 water irises and some pond grass that Tom got from a (natural) pond where he works (a sawmill) We put rocks all around the liner to conceal it - real rocks, not concrete, that we picked up around the area. Oh, and there are some ornamental grasses and a log from last year's Christmas tree. That is it.

OOPS! Dang I hate having one computer! I assure you Tom is NOT any kind of girl LOL

Small moving objects make for great talent tests.

Frogs are fast and need a .45 at least.
