Signs of Spring

Heartened by all the washing that I dried outside on Friday and Saturday, I put out another two loads this morning, only for the heavens to open  with rain showers on and off for the rest of the day.  Late afternoon the skies eventually cleared and the washing was dry enough to bring in.
Late afternoon I took this shot of our neighbour's magnolia tree, from the front room window.  Theirs always flowers a little  earlier than ours which is still mostly tightly budded.
