Magnolia and her Flowers

The first flowers of spring have shown their faces to the sun this past week and Magnolia is tickled pink. Our purple crocus flowers seem to become prettier every year. Perhaps it is because they have multiplied or maybe it's just that I appreciate them more each year.

Magnolia enjoys feeling their silky petals....

And she loves to smell them....And of course to look at them VERY closely....But Boothe, she just likes to eat them!

Boothe came over to see what we were doing and grabbed a handful of petals to eat, and because she needs to enjoy spring to, I let her. Just kidding!!! I let her grab, but not taste. We'll stick to the bananas and carrots for now....
