gradual unfolding of the beautiful weeping willow in
our back garden. I watch and wait every spring for the
first little shoots....
.....And gradually it unfolds, so fresh and wonderful...
..As I watch and wait......
Until magically it becomes a cave of fresh
fluffy leaves....
I dearly love Elsa Beskow's Willow Baby, so delicate and yet
so beautiful.......
Then I think of William Morris....a fellow admirer of the
humble willow......
And all the fabulous uses I dream of, for the willow branches...
willow cubbys, charcoal making, weaving baskets and of course
spring garlands............
