spring has sprung, the grass has riz...and here are the birdies

We call those pussy willows @Mrs.Anteater. That's an awesome shot

I call them pussy willow buds. Later, when they get a bit of a tassel I call them catkins. I'm sure this varies from family to family and area to area. I have to wait quite a while before seeing them in my neighbourhood. They are so special early in the spring that we planted some in the backyard.

Same here, usually can’t see them until after Easter.

Yeah, that's pretty early, eh. They are usually more of a March-April thing here. Definitely no signs of spring in Ontario right now. After a mild streak in mid-January, Old Man Winter finally woke up.

They suffer catharsis when the shoots appear and then the fuzzy nebulae takes off ...

Yes, I must go out and heave another 6" of snow off the front porch. Thankfully, it's cold, thus the snow will be light.

Snow is sometimes blue because folk are sad with the dusting ... just not kohl!

Deep under that it might be black as moll's R' cis ... Moll being the gunner!

I don't know whether the valves can take much more of the racine and rushing ... root bier? Sars piriel ation ... latent!

I almost had to come up there for a meeting in Orillia next week. Thankfully, someone got a clue and changed it to a Zoom session next week with the in-person meeting to follow at the end of March.

Went for a walk and saw these-( this pic is off the internet, as I don’t know what they are called in english). In German, they are Weidenkätzchen- my app translated as Willow catkins. Not sure if Canadians really would call it that.
Cming week is supposed to get cold again with some snow

Willow Catkins? That is an adorable name :3
Makes me want to cuddle them
