my magnolia tree

Today I'll take y'all over to see "my" Magnolia tree. I call her "my magnolia" tree but of course she isn't really mine, she lives in a big public park. LOL

I've been waiting for her to bloom, and now she has!

Shiny glossy leaves and big white blooms.....I never tire of looking at them!

Pretty sky today!

now...........sssssssshhhh---don't tell the other magnolias..........but she is my favorite.......

She's so big and elegant...........she even invites me to come walk underneath her big graceful limbs!

from a distance, the magnolia trees look like bunches of big white birds have come to rest on the branches

some of my new embroidered pocketbook straps..........I LOVE THEM!!

How is your week going?

What a magnificent magnolia tree! And you look beautiful under it! We don't have one in our yard and every year when we see them in bloom around us RH says "I've got to buy a magnolia tree!" Maybe this fall he will. Those blossoms are unbelievable. And I love your embroidered straps!

This week has flown by! I'm now down to one time at PT for my back pain so that's a good thing. And a weekend ahead to celebrate the birth of our beautiful country, another very good thing.

Best to you, Debbi,
Dewena

First let me say, I love that you wear long skirts!!! I love long dresses/skirts too!!!!!! Especially in summer.

In winter, since I can't "stand" the feel of tights or leggings, which people wear to keep warm, under skirts, I can't wear as many skirts. But in summer!!!! Hooray, hooray! It's very simple dresses and skirts for me!!!

Oh how lovely is "your" magnolia tree! And how delightful it must be, to enjoy the whiff of her blossoms. Oh happy sighhhhhh...

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

I love 'your' magnolia tree. I would love to grow one here, but they are expensive. I've seen them around and the flowers are wonderful and the scent sweet.

Love your skirt. I have to wear pants when working outside, may start wearing my colorful skirts inside, just for me to feel pretty and enjoy.

Have a nice holiday weekend ~ FlowerLady

Oh how I LOVE Magnolia trees. There was a large one near where I worked (Texas) years ago... I'd stop there in the mornings and take a bloom back to my office... The aroma was FABULOUS --in the office that entire day!!!!!!

You are lucky to have that beauty!!!

Stay safe and healthy.
Hugs,
Betsy

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
