Spring really is coming.

My favorite song from first grade keeps playing in my head:


I know a little pussy
her coat is silver grey
she lives down in the meadow
not very far away
she'll always be a pussy
she'll never be a cat
her name is pussy willow
now what do you think of that?
meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,
SCAT!


I have cut some for inside to root and share with friends and take some to our new house. The parent plant for these is from my Mum's and it is ginormous, much more a tree than a bush. I love the smooth softness of the catkins.  :)
