Well, I just came back in from putting the waterlilies out in my small pond. I went out to fill the bird feeders and took a really good look in the pond. The fish are moving around pretty well and there is signs of growth in the plants that have been overwintering. The water iris is looking pretty green one of the water lilies has some pads up and the blue pickerel is pushing out shoots. I bet that water is up to 60 degrees. I put out all the water lilies but kept the marginals in the house. They will be easy to keep with the house plants till spring. Here is what my Birdbath/Pond looks like right now, you can see the plants that have been overwintering in it.

Notice the little bit of ice and snow in the top. Where the driftwood shades it from the sun.
