I cannot believe you have not let us see your precious Puddles yet, Sissy!!! I can't wait. And he needs to be cuddles? Imagine that! I get Pee Wee is one jealous young man right about now.
I'm sitting here, windows and doors open, listening to a toad that has been singing all evening. So far, just one in the yard, another one a little ways away, maybe getting closer. Bullfrogs are croaking on the farm pond. Not hearing or seeing any on my ponds lately. I think they are out and about during the day, but maybe the wind is more than they care for. Or, they have gone elsewhere to lay eggs, then will be back later on. Funny, as earlier this year, there were 10 of them at the same time in the 2 ponds, now none. Was just one in the goldfish pond, but he's been AWOL for the last week or so.
Got up to 85 today, got my garden tilled and opened up, rain predicted for tomorrow, so will have to wait after that for it to dry good to try to till it deeper. Rain will wash the dirt off of the grass I broke up, so that will help. Pretty wet yet, but farmers are hitting the fields around here since yesterday morning.

CE she posted photo's of the new pup. It's in a different thread called Introductions are in order.

You got up to 85,wow! We are in the rain right now. Got the yard mowed before it started,yahoo! I found a lt beige frog w/ dark spots on him when mowing today. Had to jump off the mower and put him out of harms way into the pond. Should have taken a photo but was in a hurry to finish mowing. Never seen one like that around here before. But then I haven't had a lot of them. Glad I didn't run over him.

Sounds like a leopard frog, JW! Good deal. Here's the bullfrog on the goldfish pond. He finally showed back up this morning. He's always good about letting me photograph him.

Heading up to high 70's today, and rain. With all the wind we have had lately, rain will be a welcome sight. Farmers are scrambling to get some corn in the ground, several fields will be planted by the time the rain gets here, I believe.

It only rained for a short time, didn't amount to much. The farmers are pleased, as I doubt they even had to get out of the fields. Corn is getting planted in my area, and they are working dawn to dusk and then some. Thank you, Mr. Sunshine and Mother Nature, for this break from the cold and rains. It was cooler today, a beautiful 79 degrees. Saw 2 bullfrogs tonight, and heard them croaking, one in each pond.

Well, it was another day of cleaning flower beds, planting this and that, here and there .... then I cut the gasss for the first time!!! It really did not need it, but I hand raked the crap apples that fell last week and wanted to get things nice before the big rain we are supposed to get on Saturday.

I am going to apply that corn glutten on the front yard only, cause apparently it is not safe for dogs as they might eat it and then it gets stuck in their digestive system, my hubby told me that....

We reached a high of 73 degrees, and that was nice, not too hot to slave in garden! :)
