Confused Trees

The sun is shining, it's a gorgeous day in the Rocky Mountains and it has been in the 70's for about a week. It is also the middle of January. I need to preface the following random thought with the fact that I LOVE THE COLD. I look forward to winter, I enjoy watching the seasons change but the only real reason I like Summer is becasue it brings me one step closer to cold.

As I sit in my ofice, looking at the open space behind our building I saw this morning that the Aspen trees are budding!!!! I noticed it yesterday but tried to pretend I was fooling myself. Then while out walking last night I noticed the outline of little buds again. Did I mention it's January. It is way too early for this nonsense.
