a month earlier than they did. A week later we had a moderate frost and

That must have a bit strange. Both for you and the Frogs!
Out back We have a Stock Tank (man made pond) that is seasonal. When the
Monsoon starts the way we can tell we've had 1/2" or more of Rain is the
Frogs come out of the Mud and Crook all night for 3 or 4 Nights, eat make
eggs and disappear for another year.

What a nuisance. Will any of them survive?

After Christmas vacation, an elementary school teacher was asking her students how they celebrated Christmas.
When she got to Sammy, whose father ran a local toy store, she said, "Sammy, since you're Jewish, I guess your family didn't celebrate Christmas."
Sammy replied, "Oh yes, we did. We all held hands and danced around the cash register singing, 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus.'

Well in our little cute pond, there is no spawn yet, and the weather is seriously out of pattern, 14c one day, -4c overnight the next? In the first photo, is the spawn actually frozen?!

I think most of them will. The spawn that froze looks wrinkled and very
strange (no pics because it's blowing a gale and poor light) but that's
just the part that's on the surface.

How's your green Rod's Outhouse frog? When will you know whether its
croaking attracted a partner?
