Pussy Willows

Ok, I am taking a giant risk by using that first word on facebook but I really wanted to write about this today.

One of my dad's favorite plants were pussy willows. Just this spring he went out and cut some for each of his granddaughters to bring to school for their teachers. He also brought some to my grandma's grave and picked some for my mom. When we planned the funeral flowers we had some of the pussy willows that dad had just picked put into some of the bouquets. Mine are still in a vase on my table and I just can't bear to throw them out. It was always special to see the first pussy willows every spring and see how excited my dad got when he found them.
