It is very grey here and threatening to rain, but it is 55 degrees F....and I have a line of washing out blowing and one eye on the clouds ready to rush out and bring it in.
Last week when we went on the bus to Southport the hedges were just brown twigs...this week there is the hint of green about them.
We are not going to Southport this weekend...I think it will be Halifax instead...Halifax Yorkshire that is, not your neck of the woods Eric.(I know it isn't really that close to you)

Hey ... it's up to -9
There are only 4 weeks left in the regular NHL season ... Baseball will start soon (the Grapefruit League play has been going on for a couple of weeks) ... local garages are having sales on winter tires ... Trailhead has sales on winter coats and boots (wise shoppers take advantage of these deals, working on the principle that there is a good chance winter will be back in a few months.) So the signs of spring are all there. Sorry to hear you get stuck with Halifax, Yorkshire; Halifax, Nova Scotia is a great city.
Glad you like the Dickinson poem ... In my opinion, no poet, of any age or period comes up with more striking images than she does. Here's my favorite: "The clouds, like listless elephants,/Horizons straggled down."
