Yesterday, my husband and I noticed thousands and thousands of recently hatched tadpoles madly swimming all around the edges of the entire pond. We will soon have more frog voices. When we moved in last July/August, I remember seeing them hopping across the sidewalk as we took walks around the pond. I was wondering when they would reappear. Haven’t seen many turtles raising their heads in the water yet.
Another creature starting to make its appearance for the year, are dragonflies. At the end of last summer, they were so plentiful, I counted different colors & types. They flit all around you as you walk, but never land ON you. They are beautiful blues & greens. It is amazing to watch the natural eco-system of a pond. One feeds on another, they all mate & bring forth a new generation of their kind. The cycle repeats itself. Life is a strong force with the desire to continue.
