Please forgive the poor quality of these photos, but I wanted to show you the damage this past winter did to the once gorgeous azalea bush off our front porch.
The past two winters have given us extreme cold temperatures and heavy snows that lasted for too long a period of time and this bush is gasping it's last breath I am afraid.
Blossoms are plentiful on the bush, but much of the bush has simply been damaged to a point that we will most likely be taking it out and planting a new one.
Sometimes you just have to let things go and move on to the new.
But it still saddens me when a mature plant is taken from us by Mother Nature.
It takes a few years to raise up a new one.
