Is Spring in the are?

I haven't been able to do anything all day but SNEEZE!

What is up with that?

It is only mid February, and it has been to cold for any thing to bloom, Right? 

Wrong!

I was looking out my back door today and saw this...

 

What the What?

What are those little black things? Where did they come from? I swear just yesterday I was looking at that branch (for a little project I have in mind) and they were not there.

How does that happen?

I'm not complaining at all I am in LOVE with it.

At least that explains the sneezing, I'm not crazy, or loosing it. ~O.K. I wasn't talking to you!~

Anyway not all a waist of a day...

Bottled 5 Quarts, & 6 Pints of Chicken. Feels good to restock our shelves a little, after a long cold winter.
