Hellebore

 This is a pretty Hellebore in a neighbor's yard; she has several different Hellebores in her front yard, they come back faithfully every year. 

Our granddaughter and Grandson came for a visit today; it was so lovely to see them. They are University students; Nick is the one who calls me to brainstorm about subjects he has to write about, Haley is the one who has the homeless camp in front of their house. They are sweet young people.
