Thanks Ladies,
I belive Matt forgot

I did not forget. It's just that all the good flowers were near mud and I didn't want to get dirty.

Not rain showers but snow showers.

Charlie! I was hoping someone would venture out in the snow shower to do the flower thing! Nice shots.

[Matt]

oh... that depresses me. Does that mean the lilacs are going to be all destroyed?

[cascade]

It was depressing Matt. There was a lot of damage but I think most will survive.

[Mikell]

Not happy to see frozen Lilacs...but that is a great shot.

Thanks Mikell.

Here is the first patch of grass in the rain this year.

These are the leaves on my rose bushes. They are already ready to bloom..full of buds.

Does that mean the lilacs are going to be all destroyed?

The flowers will be just fine. The damage comes when the heavy snowy slush builds up on, and weighs down, the leafed out and budded branches and snaps them off.
A crisis to some. But another way to look at it is, Mother Nature's way of pruning. Younger bushes would have fared far better than the older, more brittle ones. (Hey, just like us humans, right?)

Congratulations!
