And what did I find when I cleaned up the backyard this afternoon? Besides all the toys that got buried under the leaves and snow last November? These pretty things:
I even managed to get my fountain (another one of my favorite things) set up and running. Never mind the bubbles. They are from the Clorox I dumped in the water to clean things out a bit. They'll be gone soon.

Every spring we manage to find little “treasures” we forgot to put away the previous fall! Isn’t it funny how that happens?! Btw I love your fountain- I am still searching for the right one for our yard.
You found gold!! Spring IS like a treasure hunt... and so rewarding too, to work hard all day and feel like you got something done.
Nice signs of spring, and what a pretty fountain.
Aren't bulbs the greatest things ever? They just personify spring for me. I can't wait to get lots more planted around here...all we have are some lily of the valley that have been around for ages, from the looks of it! And I too love your fountain. - Nikki
PS. This IS Nikki D.....sorry I didnt' respond sooner....we're doing good....looking forward to more signs of spring!
@kait- I know. I'm particular about my fountains, too. I finally gave up on finding it, and bought this one online. It was more what I wanted to spend. When I'm working again, I can resume looking for just the right one. ;)
@amy - It sure felt like I found gold. It was so fun to find these under all those icky dead leaves.
@ivy - Thanks. I just love the sound of the trickling water during the summertime.
@nikki - I know... I need to get more, but it just seems like I never get around to getting them planted at just the right time. Maybe this year will be the year! ;)
