I THINK this is our start of Spring. I hate to even suggest such a thing. Last thing I want to do is jinx it and see 8" of snow in a couple weeks, but what if this is really it?! What if I'll be seeing plants grow by this time next week? Oh, so happy!

Hey JB, I went outside to check on the pond this morning and guess what I spotted in the garden??? TULIPS pushing up. I could barely believe my eyes!! The crocuses are also starting to sprout. This could be one of those years where everything blooms early by the end of March like we had a few years ago... It was a mixed bag--we still caught a few cold days, which was dangerous for apple blossoms, not to mention it was the harbinger for a very rough allergy season.

Tomorrow we're expecting to see the first of many 50°F days. All 50's and one 60 next week. Sure, some rainy days, and some windy days, but no big deal!

We are having similar weather here. I did a water change and restarted my filter today.

It's been in the 80's most of the week. I should disclose we are on our boat in Florida.

30 this morning with temps in 50-60s today. 70& possible 80 all week! Pond temps were at 55 but dropped back to 45 so it will be another week before fish get fed. Daylight saving time next weekend so lots more time to work outside.

Wow is it that time already @mrsclem ? Looking very much forward to it I am

Raining here constantly now, bah humbug

62°F, sunny, and a light breeze. I spent some time out there this morning.

Definitely the nicest day I've seen in months. My pond has an inch of ice remaining, and that will definitely melt off today. Tomorrow's supposed to be 67°F, but rain's in the forecast.

A few signs of plantlife, though not much. Of course, the daylilies are ready to go.

Oh sorry you still have ice JB! I can't believe how awesome our weather has been way up north and kinda feel guilty for stealing your weather!

No big deal! 65°F today and the ice melted overnight. A frog's sitting out on the edge today and fish are pretty active.



Last fall when I was pulling out my pump it got caught on a lily pot and dragged it right in the way of where my pump goes, so today I got in the pond and moved it out of the way. Never had to get in a dirty, unfiltered, freezing pond before, so that wasn't much fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do. It was already bugging me all winter because I hate the thought of a pot dragging, especially with all the pea gravel the ducks and fish put on the bottom. Water level is staying up, though, so looks like all is well. Also cleaned all of the leaves and woodchips out of my bog this morning. Hoping to have the pump in sometime this week.

Seventy degrees right now I normally don't get all excited about warm weather but for some reason this year I can't wait.

76 today! 80 tomorrow, Thursday, then heading back into the 60's and rain

 

[HARO]

55 F! Not tropical, but I'll take it. At this rate the ice should be off the pond by... oh, mid-May maybe?

We got up to 74°F today! About 30 degrees cooler tomorrow.
I can't complain about 40s this time of year, but after these two days, I sure want to.
