Goldfish pond is cleaned out

And the frogs have woken up!

I was surprised to find 8 in the bottom of my pond. Two were dead, but the rest seem good, one pair is hugging!

 I didn't realize the pond was deep enough for them to hibernate and live to tell the tale!

Today it was 26 º C. and it was beautiful. The heron did a fly-by after dinner. There isn't much open water, but the frogs are peeping!

Buster remembered there were frogs here
and did a check every day 
even when it was frozen solid!
He didn't mind standing in the water!

Buster, my ever faithful companion, was a great help. Here he is on patrol.

The pond needs a bit of work. The mice have tunneled around it. I'll have to remove the stones and pull up the liner.

Mr. Eagle-eye spotted this pair!

They float together as Buster approaches.

Ready, aim...

Woosh! He missed.
Today he bagged two mice 
and a garter snake, which JB rescued!
He wasn't too, too hungry at dinner...

Leopard frog on top! They just floated like this all day.

I have never seen this before!

 Just so you know they are real, and alive!
