One year and two months later: Magnolia--the Tree (FINALLY!)

Finally! After a long, and seemingly never-ending WINTER (snow in APRIL! The END OF APRIL, nonetheless? Unheard of!!!) Our Magnolia tree JUST bloomed today! I noticed yesterday that it was on the cusp, and today, as I pulled into the driveway after work, I noticed the white blooming branches and my heart leaped with joy! YAY!

 And one year ago, but in MARCH..............our girls, somewhat smaller..........
