the blooming willows

we are still in the midst of winter....
no doesn't seem so. the weather is extremely warm and sunny, all the early greenery is awakened already, be it the willow or the hazel. all is out, and so the snow drops and primula. it definitely doesn't feel like winter anymore at all.
never mind we take it from mother nature as she presents herself and enjoy the sunshine. each and every beam gets soaked up and i love it and would not want it in any different way.

there is though the thought in the back of my mind, that there will be many bulbs not springing this spring. i experienced this one time a few years back, as the cockchafer grubs have feasted on the bulbs and perennial shrubs roots....
we will see in a few weeks, i will let you know!
in that regard, i do envy all the bostonians/new englanders which are still experiencing a deep winters sleep.

Pussy willows are my absolute favorite and we're lucky enough to have them near where we live. Unfortunately, we won't see them for another couple of months. : ( Such pretty photos!!
