And now for the Friday Four Fill ins ~ here is from Hilary’s blog:
Okay, you know the deal – Each week, I list four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs. If you want to join the fun and come up with four fill in’s of your own, please email them to me . If I use them, I will add you as co-host to the hop! This week’s co-host is Beth Ann from It’s just life She came up with the last statement! I REALLY NEED STATEMENTS!
This week’s statements:
1) I don’t listen much to music anymore except when I’m cooking
2) I can’t stand when I don’t get done what I set out to do
3) I used to go to bed late and get up early but now I go to bed early and get up late 🙁
4) I If I could I would do walk/bike in nature all day to take photos

I love magnolia, but it seems like just as I realize they are blooming, the petals are already dropping. Falling blossom makes me happy (nature’s confetti) and sad (the flowers are dying). Until next year, absolutely.
I love the magnolia. That is my Maggie’s name: Magnolia. She is from Kentucky.
Your answers are good ones. I can really relate to #2, and I had to laugh at #3.
Have a great weekend!
I love the scent of Magnolias. In the South, we cut them and float them water filled bowls. The scent will fill the room! And I agree with statement #4. Of course for me you have to change the venue from nature to…. well you know! 🙂
I am blasting music right now — some Maroon 5 – because Adam Levine, of course.
I take advantage of no one being in the house and let the tunes reign down on me. otherwise it’s Frozen and Disney All The Hours. 🙂
I’m still a night owl, but I have to get up early to get the kids off to school. but some days (today), I can go back to bed for a little nap. But I try to keep it to an hour or so…. not all day. Too many photographs waiting to be captured. LOVE the magnolias — so wish I could grow them here.
Of course, because of him, not at all because you have got the house to yourself 😀
That is kind of how I think – you miss so much when you spend so much (daylight) time in bed.
Hi Claudia,
Oh, I miss magnolias, and mimosas, and lilacs. All dear and familiar scents of childhood, and hardly ever seen where I live now. Oh well! At least I can breath in Miss Josephine’s warm, musky little cat scent any time I want!
Really, there are none around there? How strange. Then again, I miss lilacs, haven’t seen very many here (in previous years) and I love the scent of those! Of course, it cannot compare to your little one’s scent 😉
Lovely, soft blossom!
They sure are, Brandi

You found the right words to describe how I feel about Magnolia myself. Thank you for sharing.

Really, her name is Magnolia? How beautiful! #2 and #3 seem to be pretty common ‘concepts’ these days…
Wow! What a beautiful image of the magnolia.
Glad you like it, Carol 🙂

That sounds beautiful: Floating magnolia… Hehehe – I know what to replace nature with 😀
Thanks for sharing your magnolia bloom. I only listen to music when I am in the car.
I used to listen to music in the car all the time. Now it is more the exception or when I am driving long distance, but not commuting.
This is my favourite flowering tree!
And mine, too! So majestic and beautiful, I uh and ah all the time at the moment when I am driving
Ahhhh….magnolias! So many think they are just a southern flower.
Hahaha – and I didn’t know that it is considered a southern flower. The trees here are sooo big and beautiful, and we are definitely not ‘the south’

Gorgeous! So glad you didn’t miss their beauty and you were able to share this lovely photo with us.
Thank you, Ida. It was a pretty close call. Especially with all the wind and now rain coming along
I love the picture. I feel the same way about #2. Have a great weekend!
Thanks, Yvonne. Yep, #2 is a tough one… Hope you’re having a great weekend, too!

I hear you with #2 but sadly that is my life….
I think we all have to work on the concept of letting go a little more and accepting that not everything is perfect.
What a wonderful macro capture of the bloom. Lovely. 🙂
Thank you so much, Peabea. I’m glad you like it.
