I kid you not. Pussy willows are breaking out on some of the willows that<br>
line a swale and the creek (Cedar Creek) and a pond on our land.<br>
This is in Oak Grove, Anoka county.<br>
I wonder what other flora and fauna are confused by this weather?<br>
And to what consequence?<br>

To what consequence indeed! While most humans are loving this warm break - it is not without potential ill effects on critters and plants. This story was on MPR just yesterday:<br>
Warm weather throwing wildlife for a loop -<br>
