Friday Nature is back this week.  I have no idea what the real name of this flower is.  If you know and want to share please do.  The weekend is here! My family is looking forward to The Hold Steady live at The Social.  Its sold out so it should a wild concert.  So here is to the weekend. Enjoy some nature, music and some family.  Without them we would be lost in this place we call Earth. On that note bartender make it a double whiskey, coke no ice.................




One of my favorite trees is the Magnolia tree. This one is in my back yard.  There are a lot of these trees around Polk County, which I never notice until I owned one myself.  Most of them are blooming up a storm.  I was a little worried about this one because it had blooms on it but they were not blooming.  Well long and behold we got our first one on Monday!  The only thing that smells better than a Magnolia bloom is my wife.  Enjoy your weekend
