Bill was not happy about the magnolia tree when our daughter and son-in-law chose to buy this property. He calls them “trash trees” because there seems to constantly be something falling from them that needs to be cleaned up. (I do agree with him that the placement was not thought through very well — the tree overlooks the swimming pool so there’s always a chance of debris blowing into the pool, making additional work scooping it out.)
I happen to love magnolias and the lovely fragrance the flowers give off. I react negatively to perfumes but if this natural fragrance could be bottled, I’d buy it! The flowers are gorgeous and even the seed pods are quite interesting to look at.
But to keep him happy and the pool water clean, I picked up the fallen leaves yesterday. Then sketched a few just for fun.
