Spring already?

I think this mild weather is confusing everything, I hear lambs are already being born and my magnolia tree is already budding. I really don't know much about magnolias, or any other plant or tree, but I find this a real hardy tree. It was dug out of the ground when my gran died many years ago and was replanted in my garden. It took a few years to take, but when it did it never looked back. It flowers more than once a year at takes everything mother nature throws at it, and best of all, the birds love to play in it.
