It has been about two weeks since the last of the snow melted, and I finished raking the leaves off the beds last week.
Life is slowly coming back to the gardens in New Hampshire resulting in happy gardeners with dirt under their nails, grit in their socks and stains on their knees.
It’s gardening season finally – life is good. 🙂

Oh, Goodie! Wanna come help rake mine? 😉
We actually had to MOW yesterday…or risk losing a grandchild in the far reaches of the yard!

🙂 After 39 large bags of leaves, I hope I don’t have to rake another leaf until October. Mowing already – wow. I guess we’ll have to get the snow blade off the John Deere.

I just love your pictures and I am looking forward to watching all of your garden and flowers grow this year. I loved seeing the oak leaves on the ground, too. Oaks are something you never see in our area. They may have them in the mountains where the climate is different. Thanks for sharing ALL of them!

Glad you liked them. It is always a renewal of life in general to watch perennials come to life after a very long winter in this case. 🙂
