Busy Day in the garden, first the frogs and now the wrens leaving the nest for the first time... we watched #1 and #2 leave. Here is #3 thinking about the plunge.

#4 is waiting in the depths for #3 to clear out.


#3 in the air (check out the blur). #4 now takes a LONG time to consider the prospect of taking flight.


Waiting (kids got bored).


#4 in flight... finally.


Now we have four chittering babies in the trees trying to get mom and dad to feed them. Fun day - hard to recenter on the surveymonkey task at hand...

on the 21st of July we had come back from vacation in Virginia, and in our new pond, in the front yard. the water hyacinths had doubled! little did we know what was under their roots. later on later on we saw tad poles everywhere! so we took a jar and caught about 20 tad poles at the same time! Now after a month and a half, now there baby frogs and take their first steps on to land!
WHERE WILL THEY LIVE???

On the 21st of July we came back from Virginia. We had more water hyacinths than we had and jillions of tadpoles. We have put some inside a fish tank. 39 days later froglets have emerged. There will be more.

The tadpoles make me feel good. At evening time I eat dinner and I always look at them and I look at the dead tree which is next to our house but the tree is not next to the tadpoles and then the other not dead trees are ours but some of them are dougs. And then the frogs sometimes go into the trees and then they are called treefrogs. At leslie science center we saw a tree frog. The frogs evaporate into big frogs.
