Blooming Magnolias

Over the past few weeks our magnolia trees have been shedding their leaves.  They have dropped so many that I was wondering if they were going to die.  If many more leaves fell, the trees would have been bare and  Daryl and I wondered if this was some sort of delayed reaction to the drought a couple of years ago.

Then, just as soon as it all started, new leaves started to sprout.

And the trees bloomed.
