LIKE SPRING THIS ROSE BUD IS JUST BEGINNING TO SHOW HER BEAUTY!
Our Veterinarian is mobile and was scheduled to be here to see all four of our dogs. It was perfect timing so she could examine Sheba. As you may recall she cut off one of the pads on her foot. I was worried because I did not take her into a clinic. I did not think there was anyway it could be sutured. I was right. It will take 6 weeks to heal. At least I got the okay to take her outside...she has a little separation anxiety when I go out with out her. I am really kidding because she has a major anxiety attack when I go outside, especially when she sees me out near the barn. So we keep changing bandages and do warm soaks when we change bandage.
Last week I left a couple of links for fundraising programs. @aid.Venezuela med it two week food program, where they met their goal of being able to feed 80 people for two weeks. In their latest post the did indicate that we can continue to donate through fundition, and I see that donations continue. Upvoting their post also goes toward collecting fund to help feed the people. Here are their links again. If there is any way you can help our brothers and sisters in Venezuela it would be great.

Another was you can help is to pay for some units through @steembasicincome. paying for even one unit can add up. Also you receive an equal amount of units in your account for the amount you contributed.
These next two links are of two programs I have supported for quite awhile and it has been exciting to watch them grow. One appears to have a fundition program going but not the other:

I mentioned the following program last week. I feel it is very important for reaching some of the young people and provide them with a creative outlet. This program is also in Venezuela. The raised enough funds to buy supplies and begin getting ready for classes. @arrozymangophoto also put together a great tutorial video on making a hand puppet. Check it out.

In @zaxan's last post on Discord he left the following message:
"Zaxan [elarca]Last Thursday at 5:38 AM

I appreciate everyone indulging me when I add this information. But now your reward is a nice mix of photographs.
As many appreciate I will begin with a rose. It is from my daughter's camera. This is beautiful bud just opening. Next week I will try and include a photo of it fully opened.
This next photograph was taken from a community doc over looking the Pend Oreille river. There is a very large lake called Lake Pend Oreille, and this river flows from it. This is near my daughter's weekend get-away.
This next flower is a macro view of a small flower. I have no idea the name of it, but saw the beauty that came even closer to the surface with the Macro-photo:
This next photograph is of a barn and shed. It just stood out beautifully with the new grass coming up:
I will close with a beautiful yellow Begonia. I will let her speak for herself:
That is the end of this weekend's post. As many have noticed I was experimenting with Partiko this week and had two additional posts. When I can I will do more of this. I have to be careful to not run out of photographs before Spring blooms arrive.
I have been gathering photographs of container growing of food (flowers too), using hydroponics or using potting soil. I have even used soil from the garden. A few people have asked about this, and most recently a lovely lady from Venezuela (@franciscana23) has asked about hydroponics for helping feed the people there. I have seen photographs on steemit from other countries that grow some food and of course flowers in containers. In the event anyone has any ideas or even photographs they wish to share Private Message me on Discord. I have a variety of photographs covering this and taking more now as I get my greenhouse coming along. I wish I had the time to get that post done, but i want to make it is as good as I can. Any input from others will be credited in the post.
Before I close I would like to remind everyone that please do not pass up a post that is in a language you do not understand. Find a app that can translate. Most do a good enough job that you can understand the post.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Spring has arrived and it now rains have started. Following the rains everything will green-up, and flowers will bloom. Thank you for viewing and reading my post.
I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted.
Great photographs again grandpa! Hope to see you soon.
Thank you hon!
What a beautiful rose

Thank you very much.
Greetings @ r2cornell
The images in this publication are spectacular. I like that of the cabins, you feel the aroma of fresh field when you see the image. With respect to Venezuela, our problem is cultural. We allow people without the proper training to take control of the country. The private productive infrastructure and the educational structure were destroyed. They bought a socialist package, and what came in the package was a communism. Now we have this problem, that we must see how we solve With respect to pets, the skin of the dog tends to heal quickly, the important thing is to maintain the treatment to accelerate the recoveryGlad you enjoyed the photos.
Yes I have a couple of other people tell me similar things with regards to problems in Venezuela. I hope that some things can be solved soon. My area of concern is what the general population has to deal with in the here and now. So I will try and do what I can to help. I have noticed that many who I have interacted with are proud people and do not ask or do not easily ask for help.
I am sure there are countries that would help, but they are interested in your natural resources, and I would doubt they care about the populous. I just hope things can start heading in the right direction.
You are correct dogs heal fast. I just changed Sheba's bandage and was amazed how far it has improved in just a couple of days. She will be very happy when I can let her out of a fenced yard where she has lots of room to run.
Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. I appreciate the viewpoints I receive to better understand.
Hi
I almost forgot!
Thank you fir the links to help the people in Venezuela!
We sometimes want to help, but don’t know how to avoid scammers. The links should help.

@Zaxan who started @aid.venezuela helped me out around a year ago when some scammers claiming to be a charity in Venezuela were trying to get steem from me. I never forgot that. Not long ago we were chatting and he was filling me in on how bad it was for many people there. People were having difficulty getting food for their families and malnutrition was going on.
Within a couple of days of our conversation he started putting together aid.venezuela. I help him connect with someone in a different country that had been fundraising for awhile. That connection helped him get on Fundition. He provides a lot of video documentation of the food purchased and the distribution of the food.
He also gave me the thumbs up on @arrozymangophoto when I asked about him.
Helping to feed as many people as possible is a difficult at best, but we have to start somewhere. @ Zaxan is also networking with existing programs and foundations within Venezuela.
There electricity and internet is intermittent in some areas...
I hope this helps. I have set up my post earnings so a small percentage goes to 3 separate programs...two I have just discussed in this reply.
I appreciate your comment.
Hermoso de verdad, Sigue así ñ_ñ.
Really beautiful, Keep it up ñ_ñ.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it! We all need to enjoy ourselves when doing posts and interacting with followers. I encourage everyone to take a look at @filiusdei's posts. Some very creative work.
Muchas gracias. ¡Lo aprecio! Todos debemos divertirnos cuando hacemos publicaciones e interactuamos con seguidores. Animo a todos a que echen un vistazo a las publicaciones de @filiusdei. Algunos trabajos muy creativos.
I hope your dog will quickly heal and it will run again. Your flowers are gorgeous, especially the yellow begonia. Thank you for sharing
Thank you. Sheba runs quite well on 3 legs, to protect her foot. But, she still gets it down on ground part of the time. Now maybe my Labrador Retriever will be able to catch her when they are playing
Your Sheba Labrador, I adore this breed, they are very kind :)
a very pleasant weekend, capturing beautiful flowers.
I like your flower picture, sir @r2cornell.
how are you sir?
I am doing well...coping with stress, but it will get better. Have a great weekend.
Hello friend @r2cornell, I hope you find yourself very well, you and your wife.
When you can, you inform me how she is.
I send you a big hug from me from Venezuela.
That's fine for the dog that is already much better.
Thanks for the recommendation:
Another way you can help is to pay some units through @steembasicincome. the payment of a single unit can add up. You also receive an equal amount of units in your account for the amount you contributed.
They will have my support and transfer.
I really liked your photos of flowers, remember to tell you that my wife and daughters and I love sunflowers in fact always in the hall to enter my apartment we have planted sunflowers, they are already blooming.
I send you a photo.
Thank you very much. great to hear from you. My Granddaughter loves sunflowers...I have several varieties to plant this season; mostly for flower arrangements. As you can see my Granddaughter's comment (@alaysiababin) you will see what she uses as her photo.
Walking around and admiring natural beauty is a great way to refresh your mind and body.
I also do the same thing, and take pictures of flowers around me then share them in Steemit.
By the way, nice to see you on Steemit. I am your new follower. Glad to see the beauty in your posts.
