Pretty tree and Spring flowers

This is the tree in front of our house...I love it when its pretty but when the little flowers start blowing off and making a mess in the carport...arghh...or when the rains come then it's all ruined. In the fall, the red leaves from this tree also get tracked in.

Yet, I think its a pretty tree...I love this time of the year with all the blossoms, all the magnolias and the dogwood flowers.
We do love to have fresh flowers at work too...this is what we have currently at the front desk. I think that flowers makes everything so cheerful and its nice to have them on the tables for special events and even in the Lemon Tree Cafe.

I cannot wait until the lilacs come into bloom and hope that I can find a bunch of them to enjoy the fragrance and the colour.

I do love the warmer temperature and the fact that it is still light in the evenings.
