Is it Spring yet?

I keep thinking that spring is about to arrive, and I took my camera out this morning,

to check for any progress.

Here's Flash explaining the latest patch in the fence, where

he got out yesterday.  He's saying that he kept pulling things down,

so mom put something that he can't move, to hold it, until Dad gets the new boards and 

barbed wire.

He says here is what he wanted to sniff, even though one of them is plainly through the fence.  

He says these are on other side of the fence, and would smell better.

And this tree is clearly budding, and needs some special water.

And this wild Cherry tree has the perfect spot for a cat to rest, just out of reach,

he says, and it, too is outside the fence....
