Restored to health

Not our whole planet, alas -- just my shade garden. When I first saw it on my December return from New York (pictured in the extra on this blip), I was in despair. I really thought it would never recover from that state of near-death. Now, five months later, it is lush and green and lovelier than ever. I am sure there is a moral here somewhere, but I am not about to voice it, since any tone of comfort in these times risks sounding platitudinous. So I'll just say: Many thanks to Blipfoto for helping me keep track of time, and in such good company.
