what a cute picture :D

The frogs in my pond have not done their usual, after spawning this year. That is they have not dispursed into the garden and around like they usually do, they have hung around in the pond. I can only asume they are waiting for rain, its not done that here since late March, the ground is very...

The first swallows sighted here today!!!

Hold on to that lovely image Waco
