I was weeding by the pond yesterday, and was getting 'yelled' at by a frog. DB's first thought was "a device is alarming", but he soon realised that it was too organic a sound to be a device, and was not a bird or chipmunk. I haven't seen the frog, but we've heard him a lot -- he's been quite noisy. There are at least two different frogs out there, so this is good. I still have to rebuild the rill so that we can turn the pump on. Maybe tomorrow.

Theoretically, it's supposed to warm up enough today that I can go do more weeding, but it's still too chilly for my still-slightly-annoyed back. There is still lots of weeding to do. I only got about halfway around the pond yesterday (I filled the bucket and disturbed an ant nest, so it was a good time to stop).

J is putting a whole-house fan in upstairs. The passive vent system we put in last year when we replaced the roof just doesn't move enough air to keep the temperatures reasonable. It was 74F in the living room and 82F in the upstairs hall, despite ceiling and tower fans running in both rooms and the hall. It will probably be better once we actually turn the AC on, but it's not hot enough for that yet.
