Tulips & Sunset

Today has been a good day.

The sun has shone.

I've watched Matt play cricket, and took some crochet with me.  I'm working on my Quite Contrary Wrap which is lovely.

The pitch was in a beautiful location.  Can you see the South Downs in the distance?

When we got home, I took my camera outside to take some photos of the garden.  It has changed so much in the last few days as there has been sun and warmth.

 The Ginny Gee azalea (I think that what it was called) is in full bloom

 Hostas - before the slugs find them!

 Tulips looking for the sun

 More tukips!

 Plum tree blossom

 The apple blossom is almost here

 Lots more tulips

 This one reminds me of a rose

 Aren't they beautiful?

 I was trying to capture a bee - but missed him, but I like the spots and stripes of the different leaves.

 The bee!!!

 There are still some daffodils

 Epimedium - I think?

 Cherry blossom

 Crab apple blossom

 And a beautiful sunset at the end of the day

Oh and exciting news - a friend and I booked Yarndale tickets.  I can't describe how excited we are.  A girly weekend - we live on the South coast so it is quite a way to go, a nice hotel, and yarn, and maybe a glass or two of wine!  What more could a girl ask for?!

Yes - indeed today has been a good day.
