Spring Snow?
Spring Snow? Where yesterday they were swarming and swirling like snow flurries in the stiff wind, today the cottonwood cottons - still aplenty - are floating like white butterflies in the light breeze. If even some of the thousands of tiny seeds suspended in the cotton took root, we’d have an impenetrable forest. Each spring there would be thick snow drift-like mounds of cotton everywhere. There are a goodly number of huge cottonwoods in the neighborhood. Many decades ago these giants first took root, Now, they are still working to propagate their species.
