Remembering Water

Build it and the frogs will come

I made some stone frog houses earlier this summer (first three photos below.) When it's really hot out, I take the hose and wet these down to give the frogs a place to hang out - they seem to like it because I almost always have at least 2-3 frogs running around the garden, although when I took these photos I was still waiting for the ferns to grow back after construction.

I like to put out little watering spots in many different places for the pollinators and the birds too - it attracts SO many. On the bird bath, I put a bit of straw there so bees and butterflies have a spot to land where they can reach the water more easily. Every year we are getting more birds and butterflies, and this makes me sublimely happy. 🥰
