Spring Has Sprung 

For me this is the sign of spring... when my Mom's magnolia tree is blooming. It's been through a lot. There was some rot on the right side several years ago and we had to take down one large branch so it's a bit lopsided. But somehow it always manages to put out gorgeous blossoms every spring.



Here are some of the blossoms... which if you've never smelled magnolia, are intoxicating.



And one more close up for good measure. Happy Spring Everyone!
