Summary:
Landscape depicting a young family going about spring time chores --the husband planting seedlings in a small garden, the wife hanging quilts out to dry on a clothesline, and a young child playing under a blooming cherry tree beside a small house. In the background a neighbor cuts his grass, and another neighbor climbs a ladder to make repairs to the roof of his house.
