What does your pond look like ... Today?

[addy1]

We had a snow spit, not even enough to cover anything, hail, snow, rain, cold.

What happened with the snow that caused the edges of your pond to look "ruffly?"

Just really wet snow & big flakes

Turned on the pump yesterday. Water almost totally clear today.

A large red shoulder hawk is hanging around.

While working out there found a bunch of seeded marsh marigolds. Out in the grass , among some rocks etc. I dug up a few where they would be mowed and or walked on. The ones in the ground are blooming the one in the pond is growing, no flowers yet.

Spring is really welcoming you!

We had about 6" of heavy wet snow yesterday. Over half of it melted today, but we just had a burst of heavy snow, maybe about an inch.

Normally I have my pond running by now but winter's sticking around this year. Camera's a little foggy looking tonight.

We got some lake effect from the same snow storm yesterday morning. It started with freezing rain, enough to bring down a few branches on trees, and then got about 3 inches of snow on top of that. It was melting fast by the end of the day. Overall, where we are
at in Mecosta county Michigan, old man winter showed up this last season wearing shorts, a T shirt, and flip flops. Pretty mild winter
comparatively speaking. I normally start ice fishing on local lakes by the beginning of December, but this last season it was January
before we had safe ice on our lakes.

We had one hit of cold 2f, in Dec for a few days, other than that, no winter to speak of.

Low 30's that's still winter for us! Sun is out melting the frost. Might get up to 60 or close to it today.............that is Spring!

The new water fall doing great, quilt batting disappearing, but sure is directing the water.




Marsh marigold in the shallow deck pond. A whole lot of flowers coming.

No snakes yet but caught a pickerel frog, I have not seen one in 9 years here at the pond.

Spring is finally here and the pond is finally up and running! I've got to scoop some debris that I didn't get to last year. It's causing a big algae bloom.
