This evening I heard spring peepers for the first time this year and yesterday I saw some honeybees on the crocuses. I always enjoy seeing the pussywillows glistening in the sun. When we were young, we would pick a few branches and enjoy touching the soft buds that really did feel like pussy fur.
I also saw a flycatcher yesterday - hope it makes a nest on our house again.
This is a wonderful time of year, and seeing (and feeling) the pussy willows is all part of the excitement of realizing that spring is finally here. Congratulations on your new granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news. How lovely to have a new granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jenny! A true sign of spring....babies being born. ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love the Pussy Willow. I once preserved some in glycerine and arranged it in a vase. Lasted for years and years!
