Fathers'Day and Spring has Sprung

The beginning of spring and we are very proud of our Iris plants this year. We have had well over 40 flowers so far and we've been able to pick some for the house and still leave enough outside for other people to enjoy. The wattles are beginning to bloom and quite a few other spring flowers are starting to appear. We went to Araluen with our family and the tulips there were beautiful. It was a gorgeous day ,even hot. The biggest problem was the fairly steep entry fee, up for the spring festival,($8 per adult) and the parking is horrible. Only us & Vicki & Travis managed a spot in the carparks. Scott & Jo and Karen & the girls were a long way out. The problem is that one is carrying food and seating arrangements, not funny when returning to the car as it is all UP!!! Rick was working but called in for a short time with his partner . Had some lovely photos , a pity they can't all go on this blog.
