My Aspen Tree is growing fuzzy things- what could it be?

I was checking my trees for new buds yesterday and saw my young aspen tree with quite a few little fuzzy buds at the end of them. They aren't green but I've never seen them before. I didn't have my camera with me, so I couldn't take a pic. Does anyone know what this is?

The little fuzzy things are seeds and nothing to worry about. Sometimes they show up more one year than another.
Thanks, whew!
Thanks!
They are actually tiny flowers that hang together in little fuzzy looking groups called catkins and they hang from a seed. The male Aspen usually produce those and drop them first in about the middle of April.
