I went back to the pond this evening and was checking out the action. The VF
is nearly void of plants as I am working on it this weekend. In one of the
clear spots, I found what I think are frog eggs.

What should I do?

If so, toss the eggs in a bucket, keep it in the shade and put them back in
when they are done.

If you want lots of bouncing baby froglets don't put the eggs in with the fish.

Buy some good Cuban cigars and be prepared to mail them out:

LEAVE THE POND ALONE!

Oh, c'mon, you should have known I could never let that pass.

I made sure I kept water in it to allow them to do what they do. Today, they
are already not globes anymore. They look more like ovals, kind like mouse
poop.

Unfortunately for me, I have a minnow infestation, so there is no water in
my yard without fish. *laugh*

Hopefully not one cigar per kid. I may need hundreds.

I'd expect no less, but I did ignore the mantra totally today. On Orange
Pond is back.

The black specs are like mouse poop, I mean oval shape?
They start out as periods and then turn into two periods then turn into commas
(see the writerly analogy here...)
Eventually they start twitching and then they will cling to the side of
whatever is handy while they use up their yolk sack.
Finally they'll start swimming around.
Legs come first, then arms, then they absorb their tail and hop away.
(If this happens in the house ponds, they will hop to the bathroom and try to
attain the porcelain pond.)

Can your toads get in & out of the pond? After seeing a
"mighty-tired-looking" toad clawing at the side of the pond (okay, I'm
anthropomorphizing -- thinking of animals in terms of human behavior, I
think), it occurred to me that the toad could be in my teeny little
preformed water garden for a long time if it had no way to climb out or
nothing to perch on to jump out.

Yes, there are ways for toads that would enter my pond to lay eggs to get
back out.

The eggs went from dots, to comma's to full blow miniature taddies today. I
saw about 30-40, before I began mucking about. They all then swam away.
