An update of what's been going on.

 
 
We acquired one of those plastic fish ponds set it up and be for we knew it we had a visitor. She's pretty unusual for a toad she was yellow. Kind of pretty for a toad. You can tell she is a toad and not a frog because toads have bumps on their backs.

Southern toad or bufo terrestris.
 Eventually we will try and put some gold fish in the pond. I think it is too small for koi. It has a recirculating system ( water drips over the rock in the middle) and so that should be good for air circulation. I don't know about algae that might grow in it. We are going to have to do some research on these things. The husband planted some lily pads that should also aid with the oxygenation and frog landings.
 
 We have also been enjoying wonderful sunsets every night as Autumn moves in and brings cooler temperatures. Soon Thanks Giving will be here.
