Pussy Willows

Dated : July 30,
Subject: Pussy Willows
##### Last Spring I gathered some willow branches with those cute little fuzzy pussy willow buds on them. The branches began to grow roots in the water I had them in, so I let 'em do their sprouting and growing. Meanwhile, the little fuzzy buds dried up.

Yesterday I picked those little fuzzy guys off the branches and I suddenly recalled when I was a 3rd grader, the teacher had us make pictures of the back view of cats sitting on a fence. We drew the fence, flowers, moon or sun etc. Then we glued those pussy willows on and drew, whiskers, ears and tails. They were so cute. Now I can see those same fuzzy buds being used on cards etc. as cats, mice, fuzzy slippers, etc, etc.

I am wondering if they would take coloring. If they were striped, and wings added they would make cute bees. They could even be spiders with legs and a web added------Oh my! Gotta end this, bye Bonny (Granny)
