Magnolia coming out

It was when I looked up the sky while pulling the weeds that I found this white magnolia was almost fully out. I thought it would bloom later in the beginning of April. I don't know if the warm spring hastened it to come out earlier or my memory was rusty. It was a pleasant surprise anyway.

As repeatedly told, mother used to love this gorgeous and elegant flower very much. She used to come to tell me magnolia is fully blooming. 

I have no one to tell that. In my mind, I would let my mother know on this tiny but still evident change of season's transition in our garden. Cherry blossoms may follow soon.
