The challenge this week was Wildflowers and Flowers. Fine. Nothing is blooming. We still have snow in the woods. The lakes are frozen. It is freaking cold..The high Saturday was 42 degrees.
I found some pussy willows ( Salix discolor). 
I had better luck at the grocery store.
One look at the pollen and my husband started to sneeze…we worked too many years in the greenhouses. We don’t allow any flowers in the house.
Happy Easter everyone..it is supposed to be 60 degrees above zero for us..we will see..I am not holding my breath:(
Marginally cheerful post!
ReplyDeleteI very much like your willow photo.

Love Pussy Willows, and this time of year the Easter lilies are plentiful. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pussy willows........must be a different variety than ours here.
ReplyDeleteBoth shots are gorgeous. Love your header too.
ReplyDeleteI love that you went to the grocery to take the photos! That's so funny. Hey, 60 degrees? Wow, whip out the bathing suits! Lol!
ReplyDeleteYuck. I wouldn't be able to stand the cold for so long. I hope it warms up for your soon. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I've not seen pussy willows for a long time. You captured them beautifully.

ReplyDeleteI've been looking for pussy willows here but haven't found then yet. Hope it warms up plenty for you this week.
ReplyDeletehow lovely
ReplyDeletePussy Willows - one of my favorites and such a nice shot. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThe first shot is superb!!
ReplyDeleteOur former neighbor had planted so many wonderful shrubs including pussy willows. In the last few years the new neighbor has created a lovely grass yard and remove almost all of the shrubs. The very large pussy willow was the last to go. We didn't buy lilies this year for the first time in years.
ReplyDeletethese are so pretty, well done
