In times of transition, Nature gets messy.

But it's only a matter of time before the mess is washed away by rain. It's only a matter of time before the rain is dried up by Sun. It's only a matter of time before the Sun nourishes, then coaxes, then evokes, and then unfolds the buds of new growth. So go ahead, if it's that time in your year, stick your hands in the mud and have a little Hope in the process.
