Adventures in Spring gardening

About a week ago, we had some high winds that whipped my neighborhood.  My yard was buried in leaves, and because I had the garage door opened a tad, garage was full of leaves, too.  Looks like March is here. 
My potted plants that have been wintering in the garage - today I need to re-pot some of them, giving them new potting soil and water.  And some of them get new homes.  
I put new soil, new mulch, watered them, let them stay out in the afternoon sun.  It's only froze a handful of times this Winter, and I'm thinking Spring might as well officially be here.  Some of the plants I had been saving went bye-bye.  
This one is the only new one I bought:
A lavender plant that will live on the deck.  I hope it does well; it smells heavenly.
This is the front yard after I raked up 6 large bags of leaves.  We've had scant rain.  My lips and hands feel like they are permanently chapped.  
I ran out of bags or I would have done something about the back patio, which is covered in leaves and twigs from the wind gusts of 50 mph.  Oh well, there's always next week, and I will have helpers since it's Spring Break.  (:
