jennlkElder Urchin successfully moved. yay. Student housing has come a long way since I was a student. Apparently, the complex is mixed housing -- undergrads, grad students, and the 'general' public. She's closer to campus than she was, and there are sidewalks all the way.
Spent about 45 minutes pulling QueenAnne'sLace out of the east flowerbed, where they were blocking the view of the hibiscus *and* the sea holly. There's a lot of dead stuff in that garden. Some of it is to be expected, because there's a lot of cornflower and california poppy out there, and they die back once they've flowered, but the second flush never started. But it rained last night, and again today, and it was cloudy and cooler today, so stuff may actually come up soon.
I am going to take some credit for the rain, as I dug out the sprinkler and watered the vegetable garden on Wednesday. We're still way behind on rainfall, though.
Current frog count is 12 plus three tadpoles. There's a leak in the pond. We hope it's in the hose, not the liner. I think it's too fast to be the liner. We'll see tomorrow, after the pump's been off for 12 hours.
