Spring's around the corner

It was a lovely sunny day today so I ventured outside. Lately it's been too cold or too wet. It was cold and wet this morning but then the sun came out and I had a lovely time in the garden. I spent most of autumn getting rid of dead leaves, branches and twigs from my garden. The drought had been harsh and I just had to cut and prune. Now we have had some rain everything has had a chance to recover and the lush greeness is such a wonder to my eyes. It's even better to see the spring bulbs popping out their colourful heads and watch the birds starting to get ready for spring. It's not in the air yet, but the bright flowers are at least back!
