Putting the place 'to rights' after a long Winter's nap takes quite an effort, and will be ongoing for several weekends to come.
My effort consisted of hanging the porch ferns. and planting Geraniums.
I've
still got lots of empty pots to fill, and birdhouses to tend......
The
Perennials are flowering.
We
had a late hard frost last week, I'm keeping my fingers crossed they were not
harmed.
And once again we are being serenaded by the amorous calls of Igor the frog.
Summoning any eligible female within earshot to venture his way.
Cold, wet leaves
Floating on moss-colored water
And the croaking of frogs-
Cracked bell-notes in the twilight.

Everything looks really nice! You've been hard at work, and it shows!
Putting such a place "to rights" feels "just right" to me! It's so beautiful, peaceful, and inviting. :-)
It looks wonderful and peaceful :)
Looks great, do you buy new ferns every year or winter them indoors. I tried but they created such a mess that I tossed them in the compost.
Everything looks great in your garden Jo, picture perfect my dear friend.
Such lovely pictures!
Our spring arrived early in So. Calif, but we are still setting things to rights. It is something that never stops.

I didn't realize how many of your posts I've missed. It was like looking at a big beautiful book! What a lovely, dreamy place you have!
It is fun at first to get things cleaned up and mow the grass even. Each year I do things a little differently so one never knows what the place will look like until I get it done.
Your porch with the ferns is so beautiful!!!!
Boy, it sure looks green down there!
Your porch and ferns are beautiful.There is always plenty to do in Spring. Around Tennessee the Spring flowering trees are so pretty and loved the cat story.
Lots to do at this time of the year Jo. It's the same over here. Hop over to my blog and see Dylan collecting his Easter eggs?
Your garden is so big! and beautiful.
What a peaceful place!! It is a lot of work, but the results are worth it!!
How beautiful!
It snowed here last night. 28 degrees this morning.
Sounds like contentment to me.
