One of my most favorite moments of spring is when I spot the first bud on my magnolia. It always brings me warmth and memories especially of my paternal Grandmother "Mo". While she did not have a magnolia,she did have the most beautiful painting of a Magnolia on her wall.When I close my eyes to remember,I always see that image in my mind's eye.I have special memories of times spent with her and of all the love that she shared.

The image of the Magnolia on my page is a painting by Joe Cartwright who so graciously allowed me to use it.
