A sight

Best buddy has been me emailing pictures to South Africa of the magnolia bursting out in bloom. She knows that I adore it and is such a sweet soul that she came over every other day to monitor its progress. Joyfully, it was still in full blooms when we returned from our three week trip yesterday. I always feel like I'm not really back after the visit, like I could just walk into a room and my mom, sisters or brother will be sitting there. It usually takes a couple of weeks before I fully engage and snap back into my life here. I'm going to have to snap to it sooner, there is a huge amount of work to do. Yard, clients, they all need a piece of me.
