I Spy Froggy Spawn!

Hello all you Woofers.

Daisy here.

It's Friday and that means TM has an extra half an hour in bed to finish off her snooze!

OTL was up at six fifteen and in the shower washing all his important places!

The sky was rather drab and it was touch and go if we even took the camera out with us.

Boring or wot!

Looking towards the North and Southend on Sea there was more light coming from the street lights!

The Hawthorn blossom is almost in full on now.

Blooming loverly!

Back home we went out to investigate the pond 'cos TM had said that she has seen frog spawn up the top end of the pond.

I spy some spawn!

We saw a splosh in the pond and that means it is now 'Frog Active' !

2024 vintage!

There will more spawn as the days progress and now we have plenty of room and cleaner water!

More news as it comes!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.

Plop!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy here.

It's been quite a warm day today. I went out this morning with OTL and didn't bother with my coat or even my Rain Coat!

It was still a bit wet under my paws but at least I had fun dancing in the soggy bits!

No sign of a sunrise except a little glow over Sheerness which could be the street lights around the docks 'cos the sun wasn't due to get up until 07:00hr!

 Not the most exciting view of Sheerness!

The Hawthorn blossom was out in full, we were glad to see that but the other trees were just poking their buds out, I expect they will be bursting over the next few weeks.

 One more puddle and then we are off home!

When we got home, I headed off for a snooze on the bed while OTL had his breakfast. Taking his breakfast bowl and tea cup into the kitchen he thought he saw a movement on the pond surface. Could it have been a Froggy?

All through we have been watching the pond for any signs of frog activity.

It was midafternoon when I wanted to go out for a wee that OTL opened the kitchen door very gently until the door was wide enough for me to get out and as I jumped out there was two spots of activity, in fact a double 'PLOP' which I have seen in past years when there has been frog activity.

So, I can confirm the presence of frogs getting ready for the Spring Rutt!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.
