At last, the rains have stopped, the snows have melted, and we are able to take stock of what survived both, and what did not. The spate of warm weather right now has opened most of the narcissus, jonquils and crocus, along with the big forsythia bushes that are now bright yellow all around the property.
The photos here are of just a fraction of what we had to cut off after the Big Snow, to try to clean up the snapped branches inside the fence. Those on the other side of the fence, amazingly, apparently just laid on the fence itself under mounds of snow until the warm weather liberated them - and now they are waving their yellow plumes a good three feet above the six foot fence! Ah, the resiliency of plants, wish I had as much!
