It’s spring in my garden although they are telling us we might have snow flurries tomorrow! Where I worked (before retirement), there was a Star Magnolia tree between my building and the parking garage where I parked most often. I always felt that spring had arrived when the blossoms started to open on that tree… this is a lovely spring image!
