I worry and wonder about that as I pass through life without observing much of what I should and missing many richness around me. This flower is truly exquisite.

I have never smelled a magnolia either.<br />Linda, I really like how you ended your post.<br />I think I often miss things that are right in front of my nose.<br />Even late in life there are second chances.

So...Well someone said, stop and smell the flowers. Sounds about right. I love the Magnolia, but have not had one on many years. Someday, I will have to drive out to the old homestead and check out the tree I planted in 1975. Perhaps, as it was out in the country, it's still there. Thanks for jogging my memory, yet again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-58107658484724149752014-06-30T12:38:42.930-05:002014-06-30T12:38:42.930-05:00I liked this post, and the term "moonlight an...I liked this post, and the term "moonlight and Magnolias", as well! Magnolias are among my favorite trees!<br /><br />We've had a Magnolia tree in old our yard for many years. We used to love smelling its wonderful Magnolia scent, while sitting on our backyard pool deck. I loved the blossoms, too, but rarely could I ever reach one to pick it!<br /><br />These days, the pool and deck is gone, but we still rely on that old Magnolia tree as the one of the few shade trees, since moving next door. I have a yard swing and a hammock located underneath it!<br /><br />We still enjoy the fragrance of the old Magnolia's beautiful white blossoms, just not the 'trash' the tree constantly sheds from those blossoms! I guess we have to take the bad along with the good :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-36893490646168899452014-06-28T21:10:05.886-05:002014-06-28T21:10:05.886-05:00How nice of him!
