Hector Frozen & the Chr-Chr Bird Sings

Hector is my spitting frog.  I bought him a few years ago and finally plumbed him into the pump system so he would spit, hopefully, year-round.  This is his first winter and I guess I'll have to come up with a plan "F" since Hector is now officially FROZEN.

Here are some pictures of Hector taken between December 17 and the day after Christmas.

 
 As you can see he is trying to spit but it's more like a drool.
  
Still at it but I wonder if there is a frog in there somewhere?
 
 
Here we are on the day after Christmas... What ice?  What snow?



And finally today, two days after Christmas, Hector is frozen solid and as soon as I can get him out of his ice restraints I will put him in the garage to defrost. In the mean time I expect a leak from a frozen pipe when things warm up again.

Joe had the right idea.  I doubt very much if she is worried at all about the weather.

On top of all the freezing weather this morning with the thermometer reading single digits I heard the call of the Chr-Chr bird... it is something like this: Chr... Chr... Chr... Christ it's COLD out here!
