March, and a New Season is at Hand!

Somehow, it has gotten to be March.

Yesterday, I went in search of signs of Spring. Although it is definitely still winter out there, there are signs of life, already... which also means that the time is at hand to start working outside, again.

As always, the forsythia is one of the first signs of spring. It's just starting to show a few bits of yellow.

I remember that, from being a kid in Denmark, too. When we could see the yellow of the forsythia, we knew that spring is not that far away.

Looking around, the lawn has that "lumpy" appearance that follows winter. We have moles this year, over between "BeBe's Island" and Magellan. They were very active a month or so back, but don't seem to be, anymore.

There is still standing and slow draining water over at the base of Orange's Hill. Clearly, the uphilll changes in construction and drainage now comes this way.

Looked for more signs of spring; not sure what this bush is called but it made for a pretty photo.

We've had a fair number of winter storms this year, and there are quite a few loose branches and twigs that need to be picked up.

There are also "dead things" to be removed, the old daisy stalks, and last year's dead irises. 

Never any shortage of things to do, when you have a garden!
