I have put in a request with my mother that she please send me a pussy willow branch when their catkins show up. We don't have pussy willows here in Missouri - at least not that I've seen - but they are a fond memory of mine from Montana. My intention is to have it as a wand of sorts. I'm not sure how that will work out as of yet but we shall see. First it must arrive. They normally "bloom" around early spring in that area. I'm excited about the possibility of being able to see an old friend again. I used to spend hours stroking the fluffy catkins when they'd first appear each spring. I haven't researched any magical properties but then again I'm of the belief that magic is what you make it and it's seldom what others imagine it to be. It's not something I talk about much anyway. I do hope that she sends one to me.

I have always loved pussy willows...also just like saying it too.
Jackie,
I'm not a fan of saying pussy willow although "asshat" is moving up in the ranks as one of my new faves! Makes me laugh every time I see it or hear it. LOL
