The first of the season. Usually they pop out starting February but as I was driving back home--after picking up my daughter's pup so we could have doggy day care here--there were two bushes full of PUSSY WILLOWS. YAY. I just knew Spring was just around the corner. Of course lots of you still have snow and freezing weather and we will probably have some more here---but I have Crocus poking out of the ground and now PUSSY WILLOWS. I know Spring, herself, is peeking from behind that tree. MB

That sure seems early to me, but what a nice find. I don't plan on seeing anything like that here for a long time.

Oh Mary Beth, they are so beautiful. I remember collecting pussy willows when I was a little girl. I just loved them. I haven't held one in years and seeing your photos brings back such lovely memories ~ and the promise of springtime!
Blessings, Lea

My mom said that she has a flower blooming right now (don't know what kind) that usually doesn't bloom until August! This warmer weather is NUTS!
