No more skiing on ice

It took a bleedin' while to get it started, but when the ice got going, it was completely gone in a few days. Pack yer skis and get ready for swimming with dolphins.

The pic above was taken in mid March, the one below a month later.

Now, we just need a few leaves to go with these birches. Impatience is a noble act. Glue and green paper, anyone?
