A Fine Spring Day

Just lovely out today, cool and breezy but bright with sunshine.
A day that pulled me outside and away from stitching.
The yard cleanup continues
3/4 of an acre isn't a very big lot but it can seem huge when you are raking.
I keep looking at the plants in the garden and wondering which will come back this season. I had a few plants that really got beat up with insect damage last year and I wonder if they will regenerate this spring.
It can look pretty barren sometimes. Life does win out in some cases though...

In other cases it is a profusion,

even an explosion.
