Blooming ...

Two blooms the first day

The Magnolia tree I planted in honor of my mom began blooming today, a day after what would have been her 69th birthday.

I'm glad to have such a beautiful tree in our yard.

:)

On a completely different note; I found a dead rabbit in our yard.

Freshly dead

(no, not mostly dead, completely dead)

but (thankfully) not torn to pieces.

Not sure what killed it,

if it was the coyotes, they were run off before they could eat it.

I threw it 20 feet or so into the ditch,

out of sight

and/or accessibility of the curious children.
