Aren't pussy willows the coolest thing? I can remember we had them near our house growing up, probably on the edge of the property. We would bring a cutting inside and watch it pop out in its fur coat, then put out tiny little flowers, giving us the signal that they were in the first stages of their demise.

They and the forsythia are some of my favorite spring bushes... Oh!! And lilacs! And... Well, you get the point. Springs rules. Thanks for dropping by and giving my fuzzy buds some love. They needed it.
