happy may day

thank you for all the nice comments about steve’s recent james beard award…we both feel your support deeply.

the magnolia tree from which i snipped a branch two weeks ago to force some early indoor blossoms is now in full bloom. what a sight a magnolia in bloom can be. i only started noticing magnolias in minneapolis within the last decade, which means there may not have been cold hardy hybrids until then. whoever did the hard work to make a zone 4 hardy magnolia, i want to thank you for your ingenuity and commitment to spring beauty. i appreciate you annually, and passionately.
