After breakfast at my favorite diner in Skokie, Illinois (Sparky's Snack Shop), I drove around under the gray skies snapping photos of the magnificent Magonolia blooms. We had tiny snowflakes today and frost predicted tonight and tomorrow, so I figured they might be on the ground soon.
I give Skokie this nickname because it is full of modest houses being devoured by shrubs. Apparently, 60 years ago, guys just drove down the streets selling shrubs and evergreens. Of course nobody knew how big they would be...This has ben a stunning year for these Saucer Magnolias!
