The thing is, after such a storm, that things will never be the same as they once were, but that does not mean that they will not be beautiful again with time. <br /><br />The rainbow is such an excellent affirmation of that.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481571533790905294.post-48077346002503160412011-02-22T00:30:05.354+10:002011-02-22T00:30:05.354+10:00Hang in there, Bernie.

Everywhere we looked people were out stacking up the trees/bushes that had been lost in the storm. It does come to an end and plants will bloom again, but it does seem like it takes forever and is so tiring.

Must be hard to post these pics though they will serve as good contrast when the plants zoom back into growth. Also wondered if this was a chance to plan something different in the garden which you might not have done had things not needed such drastic action.
