Turns out, our little pop-up backyard pool is good for more than just splashing around.
Apparently, our local frogs thought it was a pretty nice spot. To lay their eggs.
I came out this weekend to a few dozen coaster-sized clumps of little round black dots floating on the surface. After fishing them out as best as possible into some buckets, we've been observing their progress. So far, we've got a lot of little apostrophe shapes, and a couple of wiggly teeny tiny tadpoles.
The marine-biology focused Kiddo is OVER THE MOON. I'm just really hoping we were right in our species identification, and trying to make sure they don't die in their buckets.
So, with all the chemicals, any of these little guys that survive will definitely have super powers, right?
