Red Dogwood Stalks

A busy morning sorting out paperwork. Why is there always so much to do when one person is in hospital?
 
Today’s picture is a poor one of this year’s red Dogwood stalks. It is usually much better than this, but it has been neglected this year.
 
Many thanks for your good wishes on my husband’s hospital stay.
 
The temperature at noon today was eight degrees Celsius.
