We worked in the front flower garden yesterday. Our home faces west and our neighbor to the west has a huge oak tree. All fall and winter that tree loses leaves and they blow our way. We raked in the fall but yesterday there was a ton more! They also blow up the driveway and swirl around and land right by our kitchen door. That all got swept out and those we allowed to get blown towards the creek! It was a windy day yesterday. Otherwise between cutting a few things back, pulling up some weeds and scooping up the leaves we had 3 wheelbarrows full!
It is lovely to see the tulips poking up through the soil. I wish they would be in bloom by Sunday but it will be several weeks yet. We also need to mulch soon!
The birds are singing and busily going about their business in the front yard.
Soon a small bird family will make their home in this cute bird house.
So, what is your definitive sign of spring where you live?

The birds are chirping this morning and the sun is shining thru the blinds:) LOVE this time of year, seeing the plants poking thru the mulch... AHHHHH Spring! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
Birdsong, beautiful light, and peepers, all definitely signs of spring! I'll let you know when I hear peepers.
The best things begin with a dream! I love your idea for having an outside seating area. It will be so charming! Yes, I can see it now. Don't forget the umbrella! Some folks find their sets at the transfer station! I guess that people don't realize that the tables can be given a fresh coat of paint.
Keep dreaming!
I wish I could say for sure that spring had arrived here in western New York, but just tonight, the weatherman said we will have snow for Easter! Still, my tulips are poking their heads through the ground, and I've seen robins. We are expecting a high of about 60 on Thursday, a temperature we haven't seen since last November! I think everyone is more than ready for spring, but it would appear that God hasn't yet decided to stop sending cold and snow this way.
We heard the first peepers weeks ago, and, oh, it was a welcome sound! Our daffodils are finally in bloom. Now we're waiting for the forsythia. It is so exciting to see spring unfolding!
We've got just about the same picture on our blogs today, the first green shoots. I've been waiting for them and what a treat to finally see them.
