Pussy Willow wakened from her winter nap,For the frolic spring breeze on her door did tap.
Mistress Pussy Willow opened wide the door;
Never had the sunshine seemed so bright before.
Happy little children cried with laugh and shout,
Spring is coming, coming, Pussy Willow's out."

The Giant Pussy Willow tree that I grew from a sprig. The "kittens" are fat and fuzzy.Diane

Pussy willows take me back to my childhood - they mean spring even more than daffodils or other spring blossoms.
What a pretty poem.
I'm glad that something in my post 'spoke' to you. Isn't that sometimes the way it is with blogs? Whatever you're facing - and I know that life can throw some pretty daunting challenges - you will make it through.
What a beautiful sight, I love pussy willows!!!!

I think I just answered this blog---or one very similar..... Was I dreaming?????
Anyhow, the Pussy Willows are so pretty--and when the "kittens" are fat and fuzzy--that means spring is coming...

I love pussy willows, and always looked forward to their arrival when I was young. I'd pick the branches, and put them in a vase. I'll have to see if the bush here survived, last year it was looking pretty sad! Hope you had a wonderful Easter Diane!
Makes it even more special that you grew it! :c)
I would love to have one of those... I wonder if they grow in Oklahoma?
Hope you had a wonderful Easter...... and have a wonderful week.........
