pussywillows

today i found...
[you will not believe this]
PUSSYWILLOWS!!!
you should have seen my victory dance
with the pruners
[or maybe not].
and if you cannot imagine such joy
over fuzzy bushes...
come and spend the next long and bitter winter
in minnesota
[but i do love it here, really].

I can imagine... I went diving into the ditch (well, not quite literally) to pick our first ones of the season and ended up with my foot going through a snow bank into a puddle.
But it was so worth it.
