On Friday we were even getting hailed on! I don't really mind the spring being slow.

One was on my early Monday morning bus ride back to my digs at art school, the other was at my late mother's care home garden. I am always taken back at the magnificent floral display of a magnolia before the leaves open. This is a good thing, for the leaves might hide the beauty of the blooms!<br />Thank you for your kind words on my latest blog entry.<br /><br />~~~Waving~~~Deb in WalesRustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-75662334468354800412021-04-13T09:43:10.549-04:002021-04-13T09:43:10.549-04:00Good morning, Jeanie.

Last year, after a very warm April we had a killing freeze in May. I hope that doesn't happen again.<br />The photos of the campus really show how lovely it is and what a wonderful place to walk and enjoy.<br />Enjoy these lovely days, it won't be long before you will be enjoying your lake.

Our native magnolias differ from yours; the southern magnolia blooms together with the leaves, but the flowers are quite similar to your saucer magnolia. Redbuds weren't plentiful here this year. I think the February freeze nipped the buds, so even though the trees survived, they didn't bloom. No matter; we still had plenty of wisteria and a variety of other fragrant flowers to make up the difference!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-38570988400097263232021-04-13T08:23:56.363-04:002021-04-13T08:23:56.363-04:00What a lovely walk enjoying springs glorious bloom...What a lovely walk enjoying springs glorious blooms. We've seen most of our spring blooms come and go and now it's rose season here. My roses have been stunning but seems this year short lived. We've had so many spring storms the rain left more petals than usual on the ground. Here today gone tomorrow so to speak. I enjoyed all your beautiful photos, especially both magnolias, two of my favorites. Like you spring is always a sweet reminder of my mom, lost her on April 22.
