It is surprising how the days growing longer by even just a small amount, (I noticed yesterday that it didn't become fully dark until 5:00... last month it was dark by 4:30) and there are signs of the pond plants making an early start. The Mare's Tail is sending up shoots, the Creeping Jenny has started to emerge on the banks again, and some bulbs are already coming up where I never planted any.

Well, the heavy frosts we've had for the past two mornings has taken care of that- the mare's tail has decided it is far too early and has vanished.

Mine has been covered in ice for at least a couple of days.

Ours has, too. I tried prodding it this morning with a stick and there was no give to it at all, so it's pretty thick.
