Hi Jewel.
Don't you just love pussy willows? It's my Spring marker.  It's always the 
first to open its buds and let me know that Spring is on the way.
It's funny to think that you're getting ready for the Winter Solstice, while 
we're getting ready for the Summer Solstice.  We're having a lot of rain 
this Spring, and it's keeping the weather cool, for the most part.  I'm 
still getting salad greens, and I'm starting to get broccoli.  And the 
potatoes are growing like mad.  Guess they really like the wet, cool 
weather.
Tracy
