The magnolia tree in our neighbor's front yard is in full bloom. Magnolias are such odd ducks - all limbs with flowers hanging out at the end of each branch. No leaves at this time of year.
With all the rain we've been having, the flowers don't quite know what to do. Some are in bud.
Some are in curly full bloom.
Some are strewn on the ground like a white carpet.
All are finding a way to survive in the rain.
When I see this tree in bloom, I know it's time to drive to the magnolia arboretum in Springfield. That sounds like a delightful outing for our upcoming Tuesday Travels.
