Well, today is the day the frogs are leaving the pool to go into their own pool. I served them with an eviction notice yesterday. I told my husband after getting the water running in the hose to suck the water out, that if I get pneumonia it is because I sucked enough water in my lungs that I could drown. Who leaves me alone? It isn't safe. With each scoop of the net I would get about 30 tadpoles. The more I drained, the more I realized I needed a bigger pool for the frogs. Not many were sucked through the hoses. I scooped every last one! It seemed like there were thousands, or close to it! It took hours, but the last one was transfered into the smaller pool.
Next year as soon as I hear the spring peepers I will open the pool so I don't have a repeat of this year. It was educational to watch these things grow into frogs and leave home. But I don't want a repeat......
