You may remember a blog I posted almost a year ago called The Parable of The Magnolia and The Monsoon.  With Spring finally showing it’s face again, I was awaiting those blossoms that would defy the rains and bloom again this year.  

Then it happened.  

I was walking to work a couple of days ago, and noticed that over the weekend, some butcher chopped them all down!  There are newly planted pines in their place.  It was a sad mo(u)rning.  

Spring is springing, though.  All around us the flowers are blossoming, the sun is shining warmly and the grass is turning green.  It’s beautiful.  I got to sit in the sun and enjoy the weather for a few minutes this afternoon.

All the same, I will miss the magnolias.
