Today we hit 80 degrees. We also had 52 mph winds. We're in a burning ban and wild fires have popped up locally but were contained. My Magnolia tree opened its first flowers today, so in spite of the negatives we do have spring! This was supposed to be a bush that maxxed out at about 10 feet when I bought it as a remembrance for my Mother's passing. Its passed the twenty foot mark now and has about a thousand buds on it. Regardless, its a dandy and will have people stopping to take pictures of it if the wind doesn't whip the blooms to death. The bloom in the picture was the first to split yesterday and has opened partially tonight. Its time to open the windows and enjoy the fragrance that these flowers share.
