I can feel it in the air on sunshiny days! La primavera!

And now I can see it in this beloved magnolia tree in my neighborhood! I’ve admired and photographed this particular tree for years! And now it’s my neighbor!

I’ll be doing an every day watch until it springs into blossom! I’d guess about a month. Let’s see if I’m correct!

And, also, happy birthday mom! You are truly missed. And your birthday mate too, Abraham Lincoln. But mostly you. Love always and forever. Isn’t it lovely that in this part of the world your birthday can be a beautiful spring day?
