I love my Magnolia Tree

 

March 17th 2025


It's already mid of March and we still have to wear coats. It is Monday morning with 4C below zero feels like 11C below zero. We had lots of snow this year, especially in the month of February. We had two back to back big storms dumping more than seventy eight centimeters of snow.

We were stuck for about a day otherwise life was going on. Roads were all cleared and traffic was normal. Walkways and side roads took some time to be back on track. Thanks to the city workers.

Toronto was not the same. It was a different scenario with heaps of snow by road sides. To open car doors was not easy on a double driveway due to the big snow dump at the side.

Our city looked like Ottawa. It reminded me of the time thirty years ago. The time when I used to live in Ottawa. Things in Toronto looked the same in February. Snow all around.

Anyway, the snow is gone. Not here anymore. Thanks to the sun shining in full bloom. Summer is getting closer day by day. Birds are back from the South of the Border. Skeleton trees are getting back to life.

The Magnolia tree in my front garden started budding. This tree is the first one to announce that Spring is around the corner. Get ready to celebrate. My friend the Black Squirrel is back with his exercises on the wooden fence of my back garden.
