Magnolias and Turtles

My buddy Joe from the ag center emailed me, said that the Saucer Magnolia was blooming, come take some pictures. Little bitty tree, no leaves, but flowers all over. While I was there, and looking around, my first Ladybug sighting of the year showed up, and the Little Blue Heron was after the Crawdads again. Got home, sat on the steps, next thing I knew I had company, big Cooter Turtle was just coming along up the driveway. It was still covered in sand from being buried all winter. I think it was headed for my neighbors big pond, it was aimed that way.
The Squirrel was around too, like always!
IT'S SPRING!
