Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
I am thankful for pussy willows. I am a fall/winter lover, but I do love pussy willows in the spring.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

I enjoy seeing your gathered pussy willows too! I don’t think we really have them here. Something we call Red Tips are starting to bloom but I’m not sure what the actual plant name is. XO
Thank you.

Oona: “Ooh, what are those things? They look like they would be fun for Oona to knock over and play with and chew on.”
Lulu: “I don’t think that’s what they’re meant for, Oona.”
Oona: “THEN WHY ARE THEY CALLED PUSSY WILLOWS?!”
Good question Oona. XO
We have some growing wild down the road from us, near the creek. But…their pollen is nort allowed to come into our house…achoo!
We picked pours just in time, the ones outside are pollen covered. XO
A vendor at our open market passes out branches of pussy willow with a purchase as a little gift for spring…so sweet these branches.
That is a sweet thing to do. XO
The pussy willow look lovely.
Thank you.

They are a huge huge favorite of mine. Just a heart smile maker.

They are lovely. Spring is springing.
Thank you.

The Lady is a big fan of pussy willows too.
Glad she likes them too.

We love pussy willows. We had one too, but it didn’t survived in our front-garden
Double Pawkisses for a Happy Thursday
Sorry yours didn’t survive. I wish I could send you a tree. XO
I don’t think we have pussy willows here as I cannot recall seeing them
Must be more of a New England thing.
The pussy willows look really nice. Great pics.
Thank you.

I’m allergic! It is pretty, though.
Thank you.

Very neat looking! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pussy Willow before. I’ve heard of them, though.
Must be more of a thing in the north. XO
They sure are pretty and soft. We used to have lots of those where I grew up. Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thank you.
I love them too!
I wish I could send someone, but they would snap.
My late mother had an Oriental doctor long ago; she gifted him pussy willow sprigs and he said they are known in his culture as “kittens in a tree”. I wish I knew his country of origin, but isn’t that adorable? Hugs, my dear.
That is sweet. XO
I love pussy willows.
Me too.
the pussy willows are beautiful. They look so full and bountiful. The perfect bloom for the lady who loves her kitties.

Our pussywillow still little more than buds right now; looking forward to our vernal wild flowers to start coming up.
WOW! I thought our area was one of the last ones to open up. XO
