Dear Blogging Friends
I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for always tuning in. I had a great vacation and birthday. The beach was beautiful and every moment spent with my family brings me great memories and happiness. We have been going to One Seagrove Place in Seagrove, Florida for many years, its a high rise condo, we stayed on the sixth floor, every time we arrived or departed the room I passed this massive magnolia and wanted to reach out and cut a beautiful bloom. But didn't risk falling to my death, LOL.
The last day of the trip, I got sick and have been under the weather. I'm the type who doesn't know how to stay still and rest so I decided to read out of boredom. Have you ever read Gone With The Wind? So, in my quest to get well much like Margaret Mitchell who wrote the book while recovering from an ankle injury and boredom, I started reading. In chapter five I'll share a quote "The mockingbirds and the jays, engaged in their old feud for possession of the magnolia tree beneath her window, were bickering, the jays strident, acrimonious, the mockers sweet voiced and plaintive".
I sent my husband to that grand magnolia down the road to cut a few blooms. Both the book and the blooms are Grand Southern Beauties, don't you agree? Nothing more Southern...
BTW, I included a pic of me on my birthday, I forgot, am I 45 or 54? Who cares, right?

Cute post!! You are adorable. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great trip, Debby. I have not read Gone With the Wind but I have seen it many, many times. The magnolia is gorgeous. I see a few trees here and there on people's properties and they are so pretty. Hope you're feeling better by now. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your day.

Hello Debby, happy belated birthday! I too have seen gone with the wind on tv but I have not read the book yet! Magnolias smell so pretty.
