Catkin Season

"The catkins are out on the pussy willow tree."

This said only in spring, and probably just once per season. 

But I always say it—can't wait to say it—because it's a SURE SIGN. 

Once the catkins are out, friends, there's no stuffing them back ... and no stopping spring. 

Yes, it might still snow—probably will snow—but 

these silky buds contradict temporary setbacks.

Maybe you're enjoying a catkin season of life, when hints of something wonderful 

 are peeking out everywhere? It's a good place to be, for sure, 

and happens at every life stage. I'd love to hear about it.
