LYDIA LAMOREUX

I took some photos of my Magnolia tree today that I thought to share. This is a tree that I didn't know was going to make it or not after the hard freeze past winter. (We don't get hard freezes in Austin/Volente, but once in a blue moon.) As you can see it came back very well with very pretty blooms.

Wish you can smell them as well. Magnolias are one of my favorite flowers...just magnificent flowers.

Hi Ladies, Just wanted wish you all a wonderful Mothers Day. I believe Moms make the world go around and make life good and decent. Someone told me that being a mom is the toughest and the most rewarding job you will ever have. I think the statement is true. So, give your kid(s) warm hugs and kisses, and celebrate a joyful and happy Mothers Day.
