To pick a few branches of pussy willow from your own garden certainly still leaves enough for them. Around here, there are still wild ones around on the fields and on the edges of woods, and I know of several people who keep bees on their allotments.<br /><br />The magnolia is magnificent, isn't it!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-83162241269866681762015-04-04T22:43:21.988+02:002015-04-04T22:43:21.988+02:00Love your walks!Love your walks!messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-90517844399947120162015-04-04T20:49:21.577+02:002015-04-04T20:49:21.577+02:00Actually, it is one of the less pretty ones - I ho...Actually, it is one of the less pretty ones - I hope to be showing you some more picturesque ones in future posts.

I like the idea of being able to move that upper part for warmth or for coolness, whatever one needs. It will be quite a few weeks before my magnolia will bloom.<br /><br />Btw, the mother of my son in law is here visiting from Germany and we had dinner together last night and played cards later and briefly we talked about the pussywillows. She said there used to be wild pussy willows in the woods near her home, but she hasn't seen any for quite a while. So sad. We have lots of other flowers for the bees here, and I only pick the pussy willow that I planted in my garden. I certainly do not want to harm bees! They have enough problems, mostly because of human activity, I think.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-5439115950267804382015-04-04T20:48:25.767+02:002015-04-04T20:48:25.767+02:00Hello Jane and Lance,

The winter seems to have been long and dreary and everywhere looks so very pretty in the sunshine.<br /><br />Moglingen is full of interesting architecture. So many styles which have added their characters to the place over the centuries. The timber framed buildings we find particularly attractive.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-4881169570955354522015-04-04T14:13:04.902+02:002015-04-04T14:13:04.902+02:00Thanks for taking us on the walk with you.Thanks for taking us on the walk with you.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.com
