By the pond

 

before it got cold we had a campfire

these 6 geese want to live at the pond

we are not excited about that

although a flock of geese makes for a nice picture

Toad love

we've been seeing these strands of eggs

on the edge of the pond

here we saw them in the making

lots of tadpoles

At the pond

to run around

in circles

planting soybeans

 

watching the big tractor
