First lily pad ...

.... reached pond surface this morning. And another 3 or 4 are close behind.
We haven't really had a winter this year -- just a few days of freezing
temps, almost no rain, and have had warm weather (60-70 degrees) for a week
or so, including a record 71 on Monday. Haven't checked pond water temp yet.
Iris leaves are already 8-12 inches and pickerel is sending up lots of
shoots and leaves. Koi are active, but still on their natural diet -- pond
critters, algae, etc., and have heard lots of toads / frogs at night. What's
happening at your pond?
