causulties of winter

The snow has been steadily melting with the warm weather the past week or so and left its wake is disaster.  Today I did a walk around my house to assess the damage and I am not encouraged by the work ahead.  And not only the work but the repairing.  Just look at the Burning Bush I planted two summers ago! I'm not even sure this will come back.  At the moment it looks like something sat in the middle of it spreading and breaking its branches.

 And my little tree beside the front porch is also in sad shape.  The branches have been stretched to the point of breaking by the weight of the snow.

But amongst all the carnage are signs of hope.  Little buds popping through the still frozen earth, little bells like this picture - the first signs of spring.  I just hope that with time all the causulties of this long and harsh winter that a swift recover can be made.
