My lilies are shooting up leaves and the fish are spawning like rabbits on
viagra. The water got up to 60 degrees and so I was able to get in up to my
navel (still chilly at the navel level!) and do some cleaning I should have
done last fall.

The only odd thing is that I have a lot of mushy, dead WH this year. Those
of you expecting some from me may have to wait a few more weeks.

Now if it would just stop raining long enough for the soil to dry up a
little.

Well, surely only a troll would be telling us how nice the weather is when
even the _salt_ water at my place is frozen solid enough to drive on :-)

You need to add more salt.

LOL. That's really true - it's what's called (at least here) a "barachois"
and is a lagoon closed off from the open ocean by a gravel bar. As there's
minimal exchange with the sea, it's more brackish than genuinely salty.

I was just admiring the daffodils blooming out front the other day. Today I
wake up to a dusting of snow and another cold, cold, cold day here in middle
TN. It's up to 34 degrees now.

Well my pond water is up in the high 60's.........maybe you need to
move south. My sensitive fern is already putting out leaves and
buds.........and my garden is already sprouting...so why could someone
not have nice weather or is it because you don;t so you figure no one
else should either..............sheeeeeeeeeeesh!

And I went and turned the pumps back on, on my big pond. I guess I'll have
to shut them off tomorrow. The water was over 50F degrees a few days ago.
I don't enjoy working with my ponds and around water when it's cold. :-(
