Waiting with great anticipation for blossoms and crocus to appear in Canada .. a harbinger of Spring ! The robins have arrived yet their poor little feet are still dipping in snow thank you for this beautiful newsletter which offers so much about Spring and all the reasons I look forward to it’s brief appearance here!
Thank you for your comments, and I hope spring comes soon. We have just dug over our garden, and so we have happy, fat Robins, who have feasted on the worms.
Thank you for this reminder to slow down and appreciate the season even more. I love Spring too, and am grateful it stretches out here in the UK. I saw the first openings of cherry blossom on the trees near where I live yesterday, and many of the magnolias are in full bloom, or thereabouts. Such a hopeful time.
Lovely mini memoirs about spring, I particularly like the Gerard Manley Hopkins, reading his poem of spring takes me straight back to my school years. Thank you.

Crocuses shooting up through the melting snow. The sound of baby peepers in the pond.
Crocuses are so pretty and in so many lovely colours. I hope they have appeared and your spring has come.

It is a great time to slow down and be mindful - enjoy. Magnolias are magnificent, we have one in our garden.

Did you have to learn it by heart?
Yes we did, I can’t remember any of it now 45 years on…. I just revisited some of them online, I think probably Duns Scotus's Oxford…
Towery city and branchy between towers;
Cuckoo-echoing, bell-swarmèd, lark charmèd, rook racked, river-rounded;
The dapple-eared lily below thee; that country and town did
Once encounter in, here coped & poisèd powers;
