out of the winter gloom...

comes...NEW LIFE!!

Under all these leaves.....


out pop up some lovely colors:



We spent all afternoon on Saturday raking leaves, mulching leaves, dragging leaves, burning leaves and of course a couple of games of hide-n-seek in the back yard!

Raking leaves was/is pretty tedious, however when I would rake away the dead leaves and find some beautiful, colorful spring flowers -- it make it all worth while!

(just don't ask me the names of any of the above flowers -- I will learn this year....but, I am a gardening 'baby' and have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm growing!!!)
