51 here right now, not a cloud in the sky all day! The snow is melting fast and made the pond level go up a little bit...and I even spotted green things growing near the pond when I got home today. :)

Very cute fairy garden Colleen :)

My pond is finally clear of ice and snow although there is still snow/ice around the edges in the pond area as well as the back yard. We have had a few days of 40 degree weather of course temperatures dropping to the 30s at night still. Was watching some of the fish swimming around last night. Looks like the submerged plants in the pond survived. I ordered a new filter for the pond and received it the other day. I'm getting excited to get it set up.

I wonder how does everyone here determine when to set or start their filters back up after the winter? Do you wait for a certain air temperature? Or water temperature?

I think this will be our last very sunny day for awhile much to my dismay. It will be up in the 60's today for our last hoorah.
Then tomorrow the rains come back and stay w/us off and on through the rest of the week.

I turned on my big huge aerator yesterday and the fish loved it!

I never shut mine off, the soon the better in my opinion, cause the water can get very foul right after spring breakup.
