This year’s spring has been cold, windy, and wet, not the best conditions for photography. Our Star Magnolia was the first one to bloom, but its flowers were killed by the frost, and the tree looked forlorn and dejected. The sun did come out yesterday for a few hours and I was able to get the following shots in our backyard.
I looked up at the two Magnolia Soulangeana (Saucer Magnolia) trees and saw that their flowers somehow survived the freeze.
While I was aiming the camera skyward, a jet silently flew across the sky.

Glad you like them, Julie! The daffodils seem to do better this year, maybe because of the amount of rain that we have been getting.

Thanks, Lois! Those yellow daffodils do wonders to our mood. But in recent years, more daffodils are coming out white and in colors that are not yellow. Maybe our moods will be changing too?

Thank you, Liz! Wow, snow in late March! Many years ago we got snow in April and it killed all my newly planted veggies!

The weather has been not average at all this year. Your yard is much further along than we are, so pretty to see!

Thank you, Eliza! We had the grass cut this week, and our back and front yards looks better, more alive now. Everything is blooming now, and some earlier flowering trees are beginning to lose their blossoms.

my peach tree blooms escaped bad weather this year. I am sorry the star magnolia got bitten. They are so pretty, and so are the saucer magnolia. Thank you for these cheery yellow blooms!
