Sweet Land

Pussy Willows

Author Unknown

There are willow pussies
Clad in furry goods,
And a robin singing
In the maple woods.
There's a springing crocus,
And a budding larch,
Who'd ever think the Springtime
Came along in March.

Apparently Mr Author Unknown hasn't ventured to my neck of the woods in April. This April.

This week's challenge is to use Kim's Silence and Sweet treat textures.

I had fun putting both textures to use, as I sat by the fire tonight, again. And this continual harsh weather reminds of the harsh life witnessed in the movie, Sweet Land. It's the story of a mail order bride who struggles with being German in post WW1 America. A sweet and tender love story and a glimpse into what it meant to be a farm wife at the turn of the last century. And that, my friends, is a good way to keep the woes of our modern farm lives in perspective.
