I fluffed up the hay in the feeders then waved Fate on as she circled the sheep. It was a damp and dreary morning, I wasn’t planning on spending any more time in the barnyard than necessary. So I wasn’t paying much attention to what was going on around me.
I was about to go back to the house but for some reason, I’m not even sure why, I turned to look into the woods. That’s when I saw the bushes on the edge of the marsh shimmering as if they were strung in tiny fairy lights.
I knew right away it was the pussy willows. Not the buds themselves, but the raindrops on them, turning them to glitter even though the sun was tucked behind the clouds.
I cut some pussy willows this week and have them in my kitchen. I also purchased a garden plant this week, rosemary. I am getting the itch to garden. Sunday I will start my tomato seeds.
Oh nice Marsha. I’m holding off from planting inside this year. But I like the idea of fresh rosemary! Enjoy your pussywillows.
