Froggy Heaven

No, I'm not done with my daylily cotillion, but I think it's time for a small break. I thought I would show you a picture of Froggy Heaven Pond. There are lots of gnats swarming in columns overhead and the mosquitoes are plentiful. I guess they like the menu plan!
This is what I found this morning in my back yard. Most were more than eager to pose for the camera. I can hear "ribbits" all through the day! It's a very joyous sound to me. Add this to the bird calls, the running water of the water fall, the colors of my garden, and I'm a happy woman. Now, where's that good book I was reading?













Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Jane Marie, what a lovely froggy haven you have. I love the 'dock'. All those frogs will help with those gnats and mosquitoes. I could sure use a few frogs here!

My favorite music is the simple sounds of nature. And I need to get around to reading all those books I keep buying and storing on the shelves!

You have a very healthy pond and garden. Your charming pond visitors are the proof. I also like how the pond mirrors the flowers and leaves. A garden can give you so much peace and happiness....and work!)
We have torrential rain since a few days. A wet winter, it looks good for spring, when the soil gets thouroughly saturated.

We usually have so many frogs but not this year.

Your pond is just so cool, and to have all those frogs simply delightful ! I bet they never go hungry..Especially if you have had as much rain as we've had. Those gnats and mosquitos are everywhere.
