Pussy Willow is Everywhere!

I had to trim the pussy willow tree at my house this week, it was invading the neighbor’s eaves and gutters, never a good thing.   This was a great opportunity to fill the shop with one of the first signs of spring. Click on images to enlarge.

We had a pussy willow tree behind the house when I was growing up and I can remember my Mother forcing those tender bare branches into beautiful fuzzy bouquets of the softest grays and browns.  Antique Battery Jars make the perfect container for forcing branches as well as for forcing spring bulbs in.

Pussy willow branches dry very easily for arrangements, they are also very easy to root for planting a new willow tree.  I have given several cuttings  from my tree as my Mother did from hers years ago.  Spring is the time to think of  bringing flowers from the outside in and maybe giving a few away to friends and neighbors to brighten their day.  Click on images to enlarge.

    Great site here. Many blogs like this cover subjects that cant be found in magazines and newspapers. I dont know how we got by 10 years ago with just newspapers and magazines.

  33. Sometimes, blogging is a bit tiresome specially if you need to update more topics.;’”‘*

  34. It will be interesting to see how severely this school of phishermen will be punished. In 2005, a UK pair of electronic anglers were sentenced–one for six years, the other for four–for laundering $10.3 million in today’s U.S. dollars for their felonious endeavors. In 2008, a West Haven, Conn. man was hit with a seven year prison sentence for bilking $400,000 from AOL uses with a phishing scam. And earlier this year, a Minneapolis judge slapped a phisher with an 8.5 year expense free vacation in the Big House for a phishing con that garnered the perp $700,000 over a seven year period. Although sentencing appears to be all over the board, I can’t see the members of this crew getting–at least in the United States–less than eight years a piece for their crooked behavior.
