Enjoying this fine Spring-like day, we have the first hints of real Spring with bulb shoots coming up:

Most of the fish survived winter – Margaret counted more than 60 here:

Back to Goose Cove reservoir, one week after the big winds took down trees; now, the trees are all cleared from the paths, leaving some neat cuts behind:

On the reservoir itself, ice is slowly giving way to water:

White coating

Unusual weather overnight – we have a white coating over everything!
White coating of snow

This is quite rare for us; is we get snow it’s generally at least a few inches … this we can just ignore! Though it looks pretty :)
