Easter Sunday, and the koi have waked up with a little appetite.

It's been bitter chill and windy ever since we took the lawn up…so cold I haven't been able to wash out the filters for the pond (two of them are lying on the patio drying out, but not washed, because the water is like ice) and am down to my last useable filter: if the weather doesn't warm I'll have to put on the rainsuit (which can make you pretty warm) and get out there and hose down the filter inserts.

The koi are still sheltering under the winter-shelter and huddling near the bottom...
