<font face="Candara">Today my pond is frozen over except for a thin
skim around the edges and some small weak or open spots. <br>
I found one frog frozen into the surface ice. I broke the ice away and
he sunk to the bottom dead or frozen. Where I broke the ice another
spotted frog/toad came to the surface and immediately went back down.
Another large frog (bull frog size - solid dark green) was laboriously
making his way across the ice to somewhere. He was looking very tired
and rested much more than he slid/hopped. Kind of a sad sight. <br>
This is the first day of December, and it will be above freezing for a
day or two .<br>
