Mini Magnolias

Magnolia, part 3

Magnolia, part 2: Bigger Than Your Head

I hope the rest of the summer is as laid back and relaxing as this first week.  Well, there was that goldfish catastrophe Wednesday morning, but besides that we are free and easy.  Nibbles and Bits came home from a fair three years ago.  Lets just say that Nibbles passed on and Bits had a nibble, or a bit.  But after we were all done with our CSI activities, dusting for prints, etc we went back to the garden for a little photography practice.  I'm going to see if I can turn Olivia into a photographer before she goes to Costa Rica next summer.

One of the reasons I came back to Philly after we'd left is because there really is so much on offer.  And high up there on my list of favorites are the gardens.  Warm enough to grow southern plants like these magnolias but cold enough for the trees I grew up with in my young Chicago years.  These magnolias are so super cool that you can expect several more posts.
