If that means spring is on it's way...it has been long in coming...We have had them all winter long.  I would at the University of Tennessee and I ask someone in Forestry why there were so many and he said they released them to eat other little critters (mainly the onles from last year, those little fuzzy/lint white looking bugs) that were destroying trees and such...

I have had so many I've been sending them to the "water park" for one last wild and wet water ride....down the toliet!!  whoohoo...

Not far off.....a couple of trees here have their buds.
