I am sure I have mentioned before how important the seasons are here in Interior British Columbia.  Because they are so important, I am constantly on the lookout for those first signs that indicate the coming of the next season.  Today I was happy to see one of those important signs that indicate Spring:  The ice that has covered my pond for several months has now just about all melted, and I can see open water.

    It is such a joy to see the reflection of the sky in the pond, instead of the boring snow-covered ice.  Yesterday morning when Kona and I did our walk around the pond, a pair of mallards flew off.  I am sure they are the same mallards that nest on the pond every spring.  They too are happy to see open water again.
