Well, I do not think the picture does the first sign of Spring?? justice. In the northeast you would never see pussy willows blooming, but that is what this little guy is trying to do. In fact, quite a few of the stems have the soft fur-like protuberances appearing. Here is the deep south you have early morning temps in the winter of 28 to 30 degrees and in a hot minute you can be at 40 degrees . Today, I noticed that the pussy willows are showing signs of opening and in the northeast they would hold tight until March or April. Lovely.

Small joys can be coming across an old photo of an old friend that passed away suddenly. She was an amazing woman and someone who saved my life when I needed a friend the most. After my divorce I badly needed respite of some kind and Susan offered it to me and my two children. She was a generous individual and off we went to Spain for a month, to get away and think and try to make a plan to rebuild my life as a single parent of two adopted kids. Savor each moment. She will be missed.

Dogs provide endless hours of enjoyment. After working on my writing I came in to get a much deserved bit of lunch only to find that Liam must have had a rough day on the job. I did not pose this picture, it is a sign of the times that a dog is resting beside a mask. Maybe this is the next step in Covid 19 protection. It made me chuckle and he was no worse for the wear.
