Day 102 - Purple Magnolia

Thought of the day: My dad transformed the yard while I was away.  Instead of a messy yard with abandoned planting boxes scattered here and there, it's now neat and clean with lots of blooming flowers.  As I heard from the neighbors, the previous owner had green thumbs as well, but she got too old to take care of her yard.  There were unfinished projects here and there.  My dad took it over and pretty much made it into his full time job.  There is no real winter in the bay area, neither is there a summer or a fall.  It's pretty much spring all year long!  Perfect for a gardener.

It rained for much of the day.  I took some photos of the flowers in the yard after the rain finally stopped.
