Rhododendron Blooms to Brighten the Day

Hi there!

It’s been almost a month since my last post 😬. A brief holiday to visit the in-laws down in England, combined with an extended run-in with illness and a nightmare migraine, has kept me away. But as the petals unfurl after a storm, I, too, am beginning to recover and lift my head to the sun… well, let’s pretend there’s some ☀️

Living with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has its set of challenges, not only in how it affects the use of my hand and arm but also in how it impacts my immune response.

Common ailments hit harder and linger longer. But as always, nature offers a way to brighten your day. I went hunting through my old photos and found this vibrant beauty.

For Cee’s FOTD, I present another of my favourite blooms, the rhododendron.

I hope this rhoddie brings a touch of joy to your day as they have to mine.

Take care, and see you soon!

Susan
