Sounds like me. I need to turn over the dirt in my garden plot, add
dirt and manure, etc. But I don't want to disturb any hibernating
critters. I'm going to have to go for it real soon, though. I'll just
relocate any findings to the toad/lizard hibernation area i made in
another part of the yard, and hope they can get comfy and go back to
sleep. I just cringe at the thought of coming up with half of a toad
on my shovel !

BV, I know what you mean about being so impatient to get
going on the veggie filter. My VF is loaded with
frogs - leaves - and dead plant material. I don't want to
clean it out for fear some of the frogs will be uprooted.
So, I'm playing the waiting game, too.

The filter and waterfall are up and running on the pond - and the
fish are
cruising around the perimeter - nibbling on the algae.
Looks so neat.

Alan, we had several hundres (maybe thousand?) eggs in our pond
last
year, and some taddies. Never saw then again after a few weeks.
Depending
on what happens, I may have some for you and I am in Ellicott
City.

Thanks. I'd appeciate it. Tads, even adult toads (my garden
gets full
of
slugs.)

Nice 72 degrees today, wasn't it?

Monday, I started scooping leaves out of the old leaf pit...I mean
pond,
and
I scopped out a frog. He was quite groggy and not at all happy with
me for
scooping him up. LOL. I put him back and went back into the house.
These
warm days are going to drive me crazy. I want to get out there and
work on
the pond, but I know the weather can't be trusted yet. As soon as
the VF
melts though, I may clean that out.

BV.
Off to check Saturday's weather.
