Spring around here... well since I live in the woods that means clearing tree limbs from yard, mowing alllooot, and getting our little garden ready.. and..
OMG I know what I can show ya'll! We keep little kiddie pool ponds for all the froggies around here. Because we have a nice small pond but critters have dug a hole in it and it leaks out to a nearby creek. Until we can get it dozed back out and a proper liner put back in to defend against digging dumb dingus critters, the froggies have trouble finding a safe place to lay eggs and let them grow up..
IN COMES 2 OLD LADIES WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS TO THE RESCUE! Mom and I came up with the idea of digging one little rectangle hole and putting a couple tote bottoms in it in case it dries up it'd retain some water after finding a mudhole in our drive way a few years ago filled with tadpole eggs that would get ran over in our long driveway. We scooped with spoons and relocated em all! Then got 3 small kiddie pools to contain the eggs. For the past 2 years now that's what's happened. They lay in the pools. We treat for mosquitos and drop steamed spinach in after the tadpoles hatch. Frog songs all spring and summer!
So I guess for me the most positive part about spring, other than not having to split wood and kindlin for our fireplace buckstove, is prepping for frog babies! I'll put some pics of previous yrs and the ponds below and our little garden prepped and rdy to sow b4 it got cold this past year since right now there's no leaves and it looks bald around it. So what are ya'lls plans? If you actually go out in the world I'll live through ya'll. Imma hermit! dramallama
