March 4 - Magnolia bud. I don't know if the everchanging warm weather has got my Magnolia tree confused or if it's really time to start budding, but it is. There are little buds popping up all over the tree. I'm hoping this year that it will completely bloom and not partially like it did last year. There is a cornfield across the road from our house and I don't know if some weed spray made it's way over to my tree or if it's just a little tempermental (like it's owner) but it just didn't look very healthy last year. I love the smell of the Magnolia blossoms and the beautiful flower that it produces. Guess we'll just have to see what these little buds are gonna do. I'll keep you posted!
