Magic pond

Pond 2005-03-17

Our pond never ceases to surprise us. This is the view that confronted us when we got up on Thursday last week after the snow and ice started to melt. At the moment there is still a lot of melt-water flowing in, so it’s difficult to say whether the level is holding steady or whether the melting snow from the neighbourhood is the reason it suddenly looks healthy again. What we have seen, however, is that the fish all seem to have survived, which given the picture a week ago, we weren’t expecting.

    I don’t know – the pond is ice-free now – it wasn’t last Thursday though.
    The evening before everything was still frozen, so it was quite a surprise to find how much warmer it had got over night.
