Pussy Willows
According to an old Polish legend, a mother cat was crying at the bank of the river in which
her kittens were drowning.
The willows at the river's edge longed to help her, so they swept their long graceful branches into the water to rescue the tiny kittens, who had fallen into the river while chasing butterflies.
The kittens griped on tightly to the branches and were safely brought to shore.
Each spring time since, goes the legend, the willow branches sprout tiny fur like buds at their tips where the kittens once clung.

These pussy willows do look like wet kittens…esp. after the snow and rain we have had the past few days.
See you tomorrow with Day # 364!
