Signs of Spring?

Could it be? After finding a grapple* covered picnic table this morning, I also found this. Perhaps the first buds of spring. Winter has been hesitant to release Western Montana from its chilly grip. As the evening light continues to stretch on well past 8pm, the warmth usually associated with lengthening days has been hesitant to follow.
