Honestly, it still feels like spring is ages away for us up in the north, but there are some signs that maybe it's on the way.
While we're still buried under a lot of snow, things have been popping up as the thermostat inches towards zero.
Today was one of those days, the sun was shining, the breeze was mild, and for the most part gloves weren't needed.
Taking advantage of that, Scott and I ventured out for a walk in the neighbourhood to see what we could find.
Days like this, make me anxious for the warmer days of spring and summer!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Manchester United vs AC Milan, Old Trafford
The Stretford End of Old Trafford is a sea of Green and Gold scarves and flags in protest of the glazer family owning the club.

First we had the son of a fisherman from Aberdeen. Then came a man born into a home that doubled as a cave in Marseilles. Now the Stretford End has fallen for a lad hailing from that traditional United supporting stronghold of Crocky. All Hail! Long live King Wayne!
John Connelly, Bobby Charlton, Harry Gregg, Pat Crerand, Matt Busby, David Herd, Nobby Stiles, Denis Law, Tony Dunne, George Best, Shay Brennan and Bill Foulkes have a gander at Henry The Navigator while taking in the Lisbon Atlantic air, the morning of the return leg of their 1966 QF European Cup tie against the mighty Benfica. Before kick-off Eusebio was presented with the 1965 European Footballer of Year award. The Black Pearl didn't get much of a look in after the final whistle though - Europe had just found a new super star. And his name was George. Understandably, Matt Busby was a little edgy about the 3-2 lead United brought into the tie and requested his players keep it tight early doors. The lads obliged - for a full six minutes, when George Best headed in from a Tony Dunne cross. This was the cue for the United to go on the rampage as Best ran the Portugese ragged with his lightening quick pace and mesmerising dribbling ability. Best scored his and United's second after a fabulous run in the twelfth minute and United went on to crush the Lisbon men 5-1. The Estadio da Luz had just witnessed it's first ever home defeat in European football. George returned to Manchester the next day, wearing a sombrero and was christened 'El Beatle'. He became front page news across the continent, a privilege he both enjoyed and endured until his death in November 2005.
