One of the willow family


Furry young catkins on some willow growing next to a stream in Villigen. Just this past weekend I noticed branches of these for sale at the farmers' markets.

I love this tree..We called it Pussy Willow. We don't have any here in Florida that I know of but it grew in New Jersey and I miss it. The furry catkins were a definite sign of spring for me.

Memory lane! I used to have so much fun with these Pussy Willows as a child. A wonderful springtime activity was collecting them.

We have a big pussy willow growing in our garden as a child. It was lovely to be reminded of it.
