magnolia bits

Our magnolia tree seems to be dropping more leaves and pods than normal and the overall tree just doesn’t look as healthy as some others growing in the area.

This morning I raked up a lot of leaves and threw them over the pasture fence — dry leaves are like candy for the goats. Also, keeping them raked up prevents them from blowing into the swimming pool.

  1. This is really nice! What pen and ink did you use? I'm looking for a brown ink for sketching.

    1. For this, I used J. Herbin Lie de The ink in a Lamy Safari pen — the ink is water soluble and “bleeds” a bit when watercolor is added giving an antique look to a sketch.
      For times when I want a waterproof ink in a fountain pen, I choose De Atramentis Document Brown.
