But I was thinking maybe damselfly eggs. Maybe nuthin' now.

The round ones sort of dissolve after an attack. I've seen it with my own eyes and read it on gardening posts and in articles, as well. Hope you have some of those long ones, too!<br /><br />I try to console myself with the fact that birds love the purple berries on ligustrums. Flocks of robins and cedar waxwings arrive next month here to strip the remaining berries. Someone years ago surrounded my property with a row of ligustrums that are now trees. I just have to live with them, cut out the dead wood when it occurs, and manually pull up about a gazillion seedlings each spring. Ugh.<br /><br />Wonder if your pond eggs are frogs?sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567299696963524925.post-30498457763782138352013-01-25T16:31:32.115-06:002013-01-25T16:31:32.115-06:00Weird's more like it! :-)Weird's more like it! :-)Sheryl Smith-Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707017321692698815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567299696963524925.post-80508008576708125652013-01-25T16:20:50.221-06:002013-01-25T16:20:50.221-06:00Never a dull moment with my sweet, funny, beautifu...Never a dull moment with my sweet, funny, beautiful, wonderful, amazing........ wife!Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
