trouble in paradise


We have a problem in the dome.  Although there is snow outside and cold temps the dome inside is warming up right smartly with the Spring sun.  32 at night shoots up to 80 during the day.  Today I noticed life in the pond.  Frogs? tadpoles?  That would be pleasant.  

Well Tim rained on my parade saying it was mosquito larvae.  He was right.  We pulled one out and looked at it with a microscope.  

Fish we decided.  Off to Walmart to get fish, but on the way Tim suggested live bait from the bait shop so we now have 3 dozen little live bait in the pond hopefully eating up lovely mosquito treats.  And when we run out of mosquitos, bread we were told.
