<div class="text-justify">A couple of posts ago I had a rose bud and said I would use the fully open rose in an upcoming post.  This is the rose.  My daughter took this photograph on our photography adventure last June.

<br>  I posted the fundraising post last week  By the way thank you one and all for any upvotes and for sure your comments.  I should not be receiving any of the earnings for the post.  I put down 95% to go to @aid.venezuela, and 5% automatically goes toward SteemPlus.  

I had planned on doing a post over the weekend. Unfortunately everyone in the household except me came down with influenza.  I was suppose to be doing other work, but instead was caring for the household, cleaning up messes I would rather not experience again, and trying to get all my paperwork completed for our annual review.  On top of that we were trying to finish tiling the main part of the house before the review.  There was a lot of cleaning involved in this

As I have mentioned before to care for the disabled in our home we have to go through an annual review.  I had to make sure each person we care for had all the paperwork in order.   We had the review this morning and got our certificate renewed.   Now I just have to stay on top off all the paperwork so next year is easier.

Now I can devote some time to get out doors and getting things ready for planting season.   My daffodils are  starting to bloom.  I plan on cleaning up my flower beds, and I have around 20 lily bulbs to plant.   I also hope to take a walk in woods and see what wildflowers may be coming up.

Now for a few more photographs.   This photograph of this bridge was difficult to get a good photo because the road sloped.   Between my daughter and myself one photo came out nicely:

This next photograph was taken in a greenhouse at Manito Gardens last summer.   There are many plants and a couple of flowers to enjoy.

This last photograph is of a young doe that stayed healthy during our difficult winter.  I would imagine she will have young in May:

I do hope I can get another post completed by this weekend.   I would remind everyone that the issues in Venezuela are far from over.    Here are a couple of links for programs in Venezuela that can still use our aid.   I plan on adding them as beneficiaries to this post:

There are two other programs located in Bangladesh that I have tried to support as well, and both can always use assistance:

Check all their blogs for more information on the excellent work they have begun.

I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted.
