Our Townsend's Solitaire played around in the pond for a bit longer than usual. Today he decided to see if eating algae would be fun. When we put a little pond in our back yard, I thought it was for birds and fish, but instead, what we seem to be raising is string algae. We need to go out and buy some tadpoles to eat it all up. Tomorrow will be a serious pond-cleaning day.
