Day 150 - 8:11am, 31 May 2019
Having read that if you hold on to cut pussy willow for long enough you can root a new tree, I have a bunch of pussy willow sticks in a vase in the kitchen. I think they are now around a month old and the catkins are beginning slowly to drop off or to grow their outer yellow Mohican, which I believe is their sexual part.
A single catkin lies curled up on the bunker, a few yellow tendrils striking out of the minute furry creature. I pick it up to place it in the bin, but hesitate. It seems almost a shame to throw it away - it's so FLUFFY! I gently stroke it and wonder to myself whether I could keep it as a pocket pet for those times when I could do with a moment of calm. Maybe not, but I hope the branches in the kitchen will root and I can have my own perpetual supply of these perfectly petite, disposable palm pets, with no pet care or feeding necessary.
