What a Day!!

Well what a day it has been .. not just the sun but we finally decided to clean our pond out back. What a job it turned out to be. Last year we found salamanders as we had used a wet dry vac to take the water and the dirt out of the bottom of the man made pond. So over all we saved about 4 of them

Well this yr we started at noon and at 4 pm finally stopped. The reason is that we saved about 40 small baby salamanders and 6 large ones. That was a job to go through the dirt and rotting leaves at the bottom. Yet over all very rewarding to have saved that many. One wonders though if the pond should be cleaned maybe they like it dirty,, and who knows what type they are. So off we went in search of an old friend who is into salamanders to see if he could assist. One can only hope that he can. As we do not want to kill the ones we have and would like to add to the family of them.

So over all it was a good day here at the Bluff now if we just get a chopper this week that will make it even better..
