Keep this in mind! We are changing the sitting area!! The wood out, raise it a bit, put lawn over it. Et voila: a new cheerfull area!! Just about ten cubic meter of soil to shovel in. I have mis-estimated the amount a bit, and now we have about 5 cubic too much! Wow, this is terrible. The next picture will show you what a gigantic amount ten cubic is!!! 
This is probably just a weed, but a rather cute one. The photo doesn't do it justice. It stands in the winter garden.
This is the pond. It is full of leaves. We are dredging them out bit by bit. So that the salamanders and frogs won't get trapped. This fall we will definitely put a netting up to prevent the leaves from getting into the pond in the first place. 
The crocuses have flowered abundantly - because of the severe cold this winter? But now they are withering and the daffodils are starting to take over.
Spring is so nice! To see that some of the animals survived the ice.
I am cleaning up some leaves, but then suddenly uncover this quietly sitting frog. I quickly close the leave cover again. 
The Winter Aconite I dug out from the grounds around one of the demolition houses. It was actually a beautiful site, that I forgot to picture: a Magnolia, with Snow Drops and Aconites. They are obviously a bit worse for wear, but hopefully they survive for the next years.
The Waldsteinia in the front 'garden' (more like square) are starting to flower. Also the little apples are falling.
The Snowdrops are really taking off, walking on the lawn means meandering. I have 'marked' several sections off with bamboo - hopefully protects the flowers.
