In the pink

Well, today I finished knitting my first ever sock. I have to confess it taxed my brain and tested my patience , however , not to be beaten , I have cast on the cuff of the second of the pair and am already an inch under way. Why I gave into Meg's kind encouragement to even try at this lofty age, I have no idea, but perhaps it will do my soul good!
A walk around our winter garden revealed more pink, both large and small and in addition, the prunus campanulata are beginning to flower and the tuis have returned to the garden.
