Life under a magnolia

"I am an old southern woman,
and I am supposed to wear
funny clothes, ugly hats
and dig in the dirt

I did not make the rules."
quote from the movie Steel Magnolias

Weed whipped and cut brush on the island today. It is a whole other world under the magnolia tree. I found many magnolia "cones" with something growing out of them. The deer bed down under there and keep all the vines at bay except the poison ivy of course. That was left for me!
