Hopeful

When I see the beautiful days we're having (though we still don't have beautiful days every day) it makes me feel hopeful. About all sorts of things; not just the weather.

I'm looking forward to seeing the partial eclipse of the sun tomorrow morning. If tomorrow is as sunny day as it has been today, then it will be worth seeing.

Just the other day I was wondering when the farmer would bring out the sheep and lambs this year. They arrived at the weekend and I tried to get some pictures today. I'm afraid the pictures aren't very good but here they are anyway. This is what I can see from my front door. The sheep and lambs are happy grazing in the fields opposite.

On my way out of the gate to try and get some closer pictures, I noticed this ladybird sitting on the fence.

The field is a lot higher than the road so it was still hard to get anything decent. These were taken through a gap in the hedge.

Most of the lambs were lying about sunning themselves!

This sunny weather has brought out more flowers in the garden.

These daffodils were all tightly closed and then we had a lovely sunny day and they all opened up.

These are miniature daffodils. Not giant crocus!

The great thing is that the daffodils don't all bloom at the same time. Some are still just partially opened.

Some still have a long way to go before they bloom.

I love the miniature daffodils. They aren't as badly affected by rain or wind as the tall varieties.

There are more and more clumps of the natural primroses flowering all the over the garden. They do really well where it is a bit shaded. 

Sorry about not having anything crafty to show you this time. Hopefully next time. All the best for now and thank you for all the lovely comments you have left.
