At the Arboretum

Hope everyone is good. We have been dealing with our dog Sophie who has developed diabetes and has gone blind. We are hoping she is a candidate for eye surgery. Finally got away for a few days and got some nice pictures at a few parks the last couple of weeks. Still toying with Wintery weather here in NE Ohio!

These have been popular flowers on this site this spring. Hope Sophie can have the surgery, but dogs and be resilient and still have a good life despite disabilities.

@shepherdhike @marlboromaam @joansmor @mittens @ludwigsdiana @randystreat @homeschoolmom @lesip @lynnz @kjarn @louannwarren Thank you all, you are the best, this was taken at Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio. Sophie is doing okay as we have the diabetes under control. We will know for sure about the surgery in May. So glad it is finally warming up a bit here!

Sorry to hear about Sophie, I do hope the vet is able to treat her effectively.

I like the deep rich colour of these hellebores. These flowers give a welcome display of colour in the winter and early spring garden - fav!
