Leigh has her feet up due to swelling. 3 new lotus leaves. 7.5 dwarf leaves, 1/2 is a tiny one about 1.5" in dia. 2 new on way. Arc has 6 new leaves, each 4-5" in dia. 2 new on way. Approx. 11 lotus leaves. Umbrella grass starting shoots. Baby toads are maturing. Saw 2-3 outdise pond. Saw first frog on 11th, still with tail but eyes on top. Fertilized lotus and arc, 2 tabs each. Tried to replant lotus tuber better? Good rain today, about 30min downpour followed by another 30min of drizzzle. More stroms predicted tonight. Going to St louis tomorrow.
