Something's a-foot!


The skies may be all a-gloom,

The forest may seem dormant

The pond eerie and silent,




But if you look really closely...
nature is yawning and waking up.

Something is definitely a-foot!



  



Pussy Willows


Close your eyes


And do not peek


And I’ll rub Spring


Across your cheek...

  2. Your post made me think of my mentor who taught well into her eighties. Every spring she brought a pussy willow branch for the students to examine. Hurry spring!
