Some Spring Days in Iowa


Book Description

"Up and down the river the willow leaves are just unfolding, bordering the stream with tender green. The tassels of the pussy willows, which were white in March, are now rosy and gold, due to the development of the anthers. The aspens at the front of the wood are thickly hung with the long yellowish-white tassels and look like masses of floss silk among the tops of the darker trees. A big cottonwood is at its most picturesque period in the whole year. Spring seems to unfold her beauties slowly but she has something new each day for the faithful." "Some Spring Days in Iowa" is a novel dedicated to the natural scenes witnessed in rural Iowa during the spring season. Author and nature lover Frederick John Lazell waxes lyrical about the season, infusing poetry into the vivid scenery he describes.
