Hey! Great news.... That is very exciting It gives me hope as well, although I have not seen any signs at all in the little canals along my lotties. What a surprize! Who knows though, maybe a frost would not kill them afterall. My parents went ballistic one time when I froze some baby guppies in the ice cube tray.... All was better when the cubes thawed out and the little gups survived. They were surtprized and I was relieved. I had read that fish could survive it in one of my dad's books...so I thought I'd try it. Ach, and you hear folks say, "Kids these days......!". They did stuff back then too. chuckle.
Hi, I read recently that if there are frosts forecast, it's ok to take a bucketful or two of water and frog spawn out for a while, which can be put back when the frosts have passed.
Sharon I have a problem with taking the spawn out of the pond I'm afraid. It's a large pond and 4 foot deep. Guess what? Yes...the frogs have laid their eggs right in the middle!! I guess Ian will have to get his waders on and try to get some into buckets if we have frost forecast.
Whoppee!!! I'm so pleased for you, eileen. I got to see the first bat on Saturday, and today I spotted a Tussilago farfara blooming. It's very early for them, but I'm hoping.
