George

 

The tadpole has become George the Frog.  He likes to sunbathe at the edge of the pond, and on lily pads. The children love watching him, and of course, trying to hold him and stroke him.  

Bill, the other tadpole, has yet to grow "arms".

Fish Pond

So the pond is now clean, and the fish are happy.  All we (Erik) need to do now is finish building the steps, finish the wall, build a deck, and enjoy the sunshine.  We also need some more plants for the pond.  The waterlillies transplanted well from the old house.

Can you see the fish?
