Welcome Spring!

I welcome the first day of Spring with a poem from my mother's kindergarten -teaching years.

( Horray!! Soon we will be seeing some of these)I have a little pussy,

And her coat is silver gray;

She lives in a great wide meadow,

And she never runs away.


She always is a pussy,

She'll never be a cat

Because---she's a pussy willow!

Now what do you think of that!

These will soon be out wild in the meadows


These are out in front of a beautiful nursery and antique shop called Wisteria in California.


Poppies in Jackson Hole, Wyoming


Happy 1st day of Spring to you!!

Happy Spring Mom! I hope the Spring weather keeps going and going. (Although I think I heard that it's going to snow this weekend...)

Cute pictures! I remember grandma saying that.

XOXO

Happy Spring Jean! I remember saying that poem when I was a girl! We did love to gather pussy willows. They were magic to me!

It's very windy in Vegas and will only get worst. But I love spring and am glad that it's arrived.
Have a lovely weekend.

I love poppys! I planted a ton of them in my yard in Denver. I need to find some for my Utah garden...

Happy Spring!
