Is it spring yet?

It looks like spring is coming! Look at the sheep with it's thick woolly coat! Almost time for shearing!


   
Alas, winter's grip is still here. Still looking forward to spring though! (Look at the buds that has started forming on the tree branches! Hopefully it doesn't fall off/die because of the snow!) I know, this isn't from this year! Yes, it's still the middle of winter right now... Yes, the buds on the tree did survive! Just imagine all the things that will be growing when spring comes! =) Doesn't the thought of the growing season bring a smile to your face even though it's gloomy and chilly outside?
