Despite swollen rivers, the lakes are moving and the land is dry. I think all of the snow is gone, except in deeply shadowed, shady forest. The last bit of ice melted in our above 20 degree temperatures.April 13th the water was open at the shore. By April 18th it was open on our small lake. The ducks returned, as did the Canada Geese.
There is an open fire ban due to the lack of moisture on the land. In other places some roads are impassable due to the meltwater.
The birds are building nests wherever they can find a spot. The fish have become active and I can spot the dragonfly larvae as they work at their growth. Their are a few tadpole and lots of frog's eggs ripening with the warmth.
