Wow, Spring has sprung in Northern California.  I went out to the yard to try to figure out where to place our chicken coop and was amazed at all the beautiful spring flowers starting to show.  Here is a close up of a bud of my Waterfall Magnolia shrub, gorgeous!

It opens to a pale pink beauty that looks so fragile, but really isn't.

Here is a picture of the shrub...it is really a nice addition to the yard although the blossoms don't last long, they are a special treat while they are here.

And under the redwoods, the daffodils are also blooming, love them!

Hey, didn't I go out here to check out where to put the coop?  Oh well, its a little cool for that today, only about 55 now...I will wait til after lunch, supposed to be about 68 later, much better temp to mull about coops then.
