Raindrops on Tulips

Hello Lovelies,

 As I walked out of my front door yesterday morning I was struck by the vibrant colours of the Tulips in my front garden............

How I love this bright pink colour.

I walked through the drizzly rain taking the time to notice all the different types that I passed.......


They all looked wonderful with the addition of glistening raindrops.......


And I was humming again.............

THIS tune. My Raindrops on Tulips may not have quiet fitted in with the lyrics, but it made me smile.

At the shops I made a small purchase and popped it in my home made shopping bag ...remember those?


This is what I bought........


Raindrops on Tulips and bright shiny lemons.........


Sunday morning baking ............


and a yummy cake for the family to enjoy.........

Recipe HERE

These are a few of my favourite things :0)

    Your tulips are looking lovely - mine really haven't done so well this year. I shall be humming that tune all day now! Enjoy your bank holiday. I bet there won't be any cake left by the end of today! x

    Lovely raindrop covered tulips, Jacquie. Your have a wonderful range of colours to enjoy. I think many of us are making our own 'carrier bags' now since the introduction of the bag charge ... no bad thing if it helps save the environment! The lemon cake looks scrumptious :) Elizabeth xx

    You have such lovely tulips! Pink and violet ones are not very common where I live, I really don't know why, must look for some... : )

    Tulips are my favourite flower, they come in such a stunning array of colours and they are so elegant. I had to see which tune it made you hum and now I have it dancing around my head! X

    Those are a few of my favorite things too. : ) I remember that bag, I love blue and white. Here's a shot of an up-cycled tote I made awhile back.(In my sewing projects album if you care to see.)

    Tulips are my favourite, I like them in a vase when they go all bendy! Hope you are getting out and about enjoying the weather. Jo x

    Lovely rain-droppy photos! There must be something about this time of year, as I've been photographing tulips and baking/reading about citrusy things recently too. Your lemon cake looks delicious - I can smell it from here!
