Really, Mother Nature is FAST! Do you remember the snowdrifts here? All gone, maybe some remnants in forests and mainly in the north -situates places.
Of course there is lots of water. Our small pond you know so well is still frozen and will not do any harm. However the big Spolský pond is actually built as a reservoir and now is is full. The man who takes care of the pond (his title is "baštýř" - an ancient word) has to let the water flow from  the pond through a special sluice to a canal which takes the water to the next pond which is connected with another one etc etc.
This medieval system is very sophisticated and very effective and is unique!
So we can hear a mass of water hum and there are flocks of wild ducks that arrived to live on free water. All this is a real promise of incoming spring! Really, it was sunny today and about 5-6°C. Good beginning. I hope. :-)

You are heading into spring while we are heading back to winter. No snow here but it has fallen in North and West Wales and, of course, Scotland but night time temperatures are down to -1 again. My poor bulbs won't know what hit them, they are a good inch and a half above the ground at the moment.

Jesus, but it means we will get it too! I am sorry for your bulbs, mine are still all right. *Sigh for both*

It's starting! I'm glad.

It's been colder here today, but I'm hoping it won't last...

We got a cold front moving in last night - I've had to turn the heater on, which is ridiculous...

Ridiculous or not - it would be illogical to suffer :-)

Glad to hear spring seems on it's way to you! :0) The last few days have been absolutely freezing here, but we're supposed to warm up to 10C by the weekend and rain on Friday will wash away our snow.
