I drained a kiddie pool with fresh water into my pond and the newts gathered around the fresh water. Why? Because it's colder, or because it is oxygen rich? Does it mean something isn't optimal or am I looking too far into it?
I left my stick clip at home and improvised with a log. Are logs aid?
I have a happy patch in my "lawn" and was thinking about creating more. My soil is rocky clay and it seems pretty happy. Will get a lot of use from kids. Am I onto something here? Any major downsides?

An update for those of you that are psyched about my pond. Everyone is pretty lukewarm about my cesspool of life except for this community. I have to temper my excitement around guests in order to not come off as a crazy person.
