On the Weaver list, we have been having discussions about tadpoles and frogs- or should I say, how we can successfully keep them alive! My children have been wanting another tadpole, so I thought this is the time of year to find them. We looked so many places and didn't find anything but, what a man at the pet store called "Pond Scum". It was gross and he touched it. Actually, it was just algae, but it looked nasty. I came to the conclusion that all the frogs in Indiana have gone on strike and refuse to multiply.

It was suggested that I order some online and have them mailed to me. But as someone said on the group list, there's something not right about getting tadpoles in the mail.

So, back we went to the pet store and they had gotten a fresh shipment in and I got two!

My daughter named one Leah and my son named the other one J3 (for Jumpers the 3rd-yeah, we had that many in the past)

Here's a picture:

That's J3 on the left and Leah on the right.

The next thing on my agenda to get is...A Venus Flytrap. We had one last year and it was soooooo neat to watch when a fly or insect got into it!
