Then and now by berelaxed

Then and now

The magnolia and I have grown in 70 plus years. We've both bloomed since that colorized photo of me taken in front of the young tree. The blooming tree shot today is from behind. We no longer own the house where the tree now towers over the roof, my childhood home. We now live in the house next door, seen in the old photo of me. Luckily, we can still enjoy the blooms, and don't have to be responsible for raking the falling petals. It's a gorgeous sight each spring. My parents made a good choice.

For the record,
This day came in with clouds and fog, damp and chilly. We did some closet purging, it felt good, but I can sure feel the bending now.

Al hands so thrilled with our cats, they are so much fun.
Beautifully done! How nice that you can still enjoy the tree without the mess.

I love these trees they are beautiful but I think I understand about the pedals. Fortunately the apple tree blossoms are small enough they cag taken care of by the lawnmower. It's time to watch the kaleidoscope of spring happening watch all my favorites come into full bloom. The daffodils and crocuses are blooming now.
