I know today is the first day of Spring but my Spring started a couple of weeks ago when my pussy willow burst into it's glory. I LOVE the little toes all over the branches. My bush is from a start I got from Mom and Dad a few years ago. The bush is now about 15 feet tall. I look forward to seeing them emerge every year. I love to look at them, touch them, cut them and bring them in and I have several bouquets of them throughout the house. They keep me happy until the other flowers are ready to cut. What a great time of year!

This is my Christmas cactus. Someone forgot to tell it that it's Spring and that blooming time is over. It has new buds on it and I will probably have blooms until April. I need to figure out the macro setting on my camera so I can get clearer shots. I can't find my book for the camera and none of regular settings will let me get close up shots. I even tried the portrait setting but it didn't work. Oh well, at least I can capture it for now. Maybe by the time the last blossom is out I will have found my instruction book.
