how we know it is actually, finally spring.

It's when the magnolia trees are in bloom that we allow ourselves to believe that warmer weather is here to stay.


We take our annual trip to Highland park, to our favorite high-magnolia-tree-density spot.


It's just past where, in a little while, the lilacs will be blooming, begging us to come back.


After such a long, cold, dark winter, I feel like we deserve so much beauty, don't you?
