Some year or other I will actually post pictures as I take them. This spring was not it; therefore there will be three of this post.


Ms Froggy! (photo taken May 18) It's not particularly clear in this picture, but she is a female Northern Green Frog, which I could tell because a) her tympanium (the big round spot below the eye, here obscured by a root) is smaller than her eye (same size or smaller is female, larger is male) and she has a pair of "dorsilateral ridges" running from behind her eyes down her back. (If she didn't have those, she would be a young bullfrog.) At this point she's got a pondmate who I haven't managed to get a good look at, so I don't know if they're two alike or what.

This is what the pond looked like on May 16:


The snails were actually the first thing to turn up after the mosquitoes & diving beetles:


May 22, Blueberries and two colors of sugar snap peas:

The blueberries are still going strong, though it's gotten hot enough that the peas are struggling.

May 24, riotous sundrops in the front garden. They do this for a month or two:
