When you can have a magnolia blooming in your front yard.
For those of you unfamiliar with this floral delight, it's a tree/large shrub with flowers somewhat reminiscent of tulips. In fact, I often call it the tulip tree. In any case, it's a Magnolia, and it's large blooms appear early in spring just before the leaves appear on the tree. This is our tree's first spring and it's showing us 5 large blooms.
I can happily report that it's been warmer lately and after the 1.5 inches of rain we a few days ago, things are growing very nicely. Catherine's flower beds are starting to look very attractive with more and more blooms on things I still don't recognize. Needless to say, I've been working on reinforcing the fence - the main line of defence between us, the flowers and the deer!
