There's a vacant house across the alley from us with a long grassy back yard (no fence) that only gets mowed when we file a rat complaint with 311. I really want to plant a saucer magnolia in their yard so I can see it from my home office, lol.

I completely agree and add that I lived here for like 5 years before I realized that the Japanese magnolias are not in fact cherry blossoms
