Don't you just love Pussywillows?
So much more than snow!
I rooted a branch about 25 years ago...
Stuck it in the ground at the side of the house...
And now...it is a mammoth Pussy Willow Tree...
We have had to trim it several times...as it almost fell over!
The roots are very shallow on Willows...
Unfortunately....now...it is almost impossible to get any thin branches...
They are way too high!
But...
I am going to ask the boyfriend tomorrow...
To get the trusty ladder out...and just see...
If I can snip a few...
For my front step planter...wish me luck!!
I captured these photos...while raking in the backyard...
I did not even know they were blooming!!!
SO...
I zoomed in...
And got a few good shots...
See the tiny rain drops?
I think these are very beautiful...
And I even like when it "blows"...
Except...
They do make it kinda messy, when they all fall at once!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you are all having a great productive day so far... I have done a wee bit of ironing...changed the sheets...have a few rugs in the washer...
Going out later...gonna hit the Greenhouse and get some flowers for my table and planter...
Also...a few odds and ends left at the grocery store...don't want to have to go near there after today!!! The crowds get crazy before a holiday...
I hope we can get out to the cottage perhaps on Saturday...hope they change the forecast!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SO.........how are your preparations coming along?
Turkey or Ham??
Hosting or being a guest?
How many for dinner?
Have a great day...
The sun is shining...cold...but sunny!
On the menu tonight...
Pepper steak served over no-yolk noodles...
Loaded Spinach Salad...
Cheers! :o)
