I looked back at the past couple of years and I took a lot of photos that I didn't share so I have plenty to choose from.
Still no hike this week. We went to the cancer center on Thursday but Ron's blood levels were not good enough to have a cancer treatment so they have scheduled an appointment for next Tuesday. We hope and pray he will be able to have chemo to fight this cancer. As my friend Tom said...and other sweet blog friends, "Cancer is Cruel". We faced more challenges this week but I still want to blog and treat myself to some blog visits this weekend. I hope you are all well and I continue to pray for so many of you that are going through hard times too.
The Cardinals are especially pretty.
And this is Palafox and it only blooms for a short time at the end of summer.
It's rare to even get to see it!
I try to learn to ID plants here but it is a challenge!
Take care and thanks for the prayers and friendship. You are the BEST!
Love, Diane
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

...Diane, be well and strong!
Hi Diane. Gorgeous photos as always. I'm back to blogging for November. I was just doing a little catch up and I'm so sorry to hear about what your husband is going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Wonderful photos of the Cardinal!
❤️❤️❤️
I don't think I've ever seen Palafox - it looks related to a clover blossom. Hope your hubby continues to have positive spirits as he combats the cancer.
Lovely cardinal photos, love seeing them when we get snow as they stand out so much. Continued positive thoughts for you and your husband. Take care.
Sending you and hubby lots of healing energy hugs and prayers as you go through this very difficult time "~

Prayers for your Ron. Your cardinal is gorgeous.
Good luck with the treatment program!
I also hope your husband can have chemotherapy next week, cancer is indeed a cruel disease.
I wish you all the best in the coming period.
The photos are beautiful, photos 1 and 4 are my favorites.
Greetings Irma

Hello Diane,
Sending healing prayers for your hubby, I hope he is getting the treatments he needs. You both have been in my thoughts and prayer. Great captures of the cardinal and the pretty flowers. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thanks so much for leaving me a comment.
i am so happy that blogging brings you so much joy, it does for me as well. it is so important that you take care of "both of you"...sneak in a few moments for yourself, self care is so important. i have been in the hospital so many times, i will share a few things that the hubs and i did that helped to lift our spirits. we played card games, UNO, we did word puzzles together, he would read the clue and either of us could answer. he would read to me, bring in my computer, he brought in blog books and scrapbooks when i was in rehab and we would look at old pictures. he brought in a few items from home to decorate the room, a picture of us and one of my sons. i have adult coloring books and when he was not there i would color in my books using colored pencils.we talked about our future and what we were going to do. we also did date night...he would bring me a special dinner and we would have dinner together. for me....keeping my mind busy was key. your pictures are really special today, i don't know how you've kept them for so long. if you have an iphone, once you take and view a picture, there is circle on the screen, bottom, middle, with an "i" in it. if you tap on that it should identify the flower for you. it even identifies weeds!! pictures i have taken with my "good" camera...i take a picture of it on my computer screen and it should work that way as well. flowers, birds, ducks, insects, almost everything. i hope you understand that, maybe you know!! anyway,, thinking of you both, always...sending warm hugs from the jersey shore!!
Thank you for visiting my blog. You are going through a difficult time right now, and I'm very grateful for your visit. The flower is very beautiful. Yes, it's difficult to identify plants. Take care, and have a nice weekend!
These Cardinal photos are wonderful. And the brief-blooming flowers are unique, too! Keeping you and Ron in my prayers.
I wish you both well for the coming week and hope the treatment happens, Diane.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs.
Keep strong and know that you have the love of the blogging community around you and Ron.
God bless.
All the best Jan
Lovely photos. I was glad to see your post. Prayers continue for your husband. Cancer is cruel but I usually say cancer sucks. Hugs and prayers for you, as well. xo
Cardinals are so pretty!! Will continue to keep you and Ron is my daily morning prayers. Hang in there!!
Continued prayers to you and your hubby from all of us.
Sorry to hear things didn't work out on Thursday. Hope it goes better at your next visit.
Your photos are beautiful. I just love cardinals.
That Cardinal is so darn pretty!
Your archive is a treasure chest!
Best wishes to you... ❤️ and I admire the lovely captures of the Cardinal too.
Your header is stunning. Best wishes for Ron.
I am sending my well wishes your way along with all the other caring bloggers rallying around you and your husband! The Cardinals are such a beautiful shade of red!
Excellent photos from the birds and flowers. Nice colours. Have a nice day.!
I love cardinals, and sadly, we hardly ever see them here.
Continued prayers for Ron and also for you, as I know it is hard. My husband and I are both cancer survivors. It's not an easy time, and you also need to take care of yourself.
Those Cardinals really are lovely! Wishing your husband well.
I'm glad you are visiting blogs and blogging when you can. It's a good escape. And isn't it fun to review old photos? I've been doing that myself (it can make for a good post when life has nothing to report.). As always, thinking of you both.
Those cardinals are exceptional !! Sorry for your difficult times. Keeping you and Ron in our prayers.
Prayers that he will be able to have that chemo and that God will direct it where it needs to go to help him the most... beautiful photos and my fav is the header. so simple, so beautiful
I would be so happy to see the red cardinal someday. Pretty photos of this unusually lovely bird. I'm sorry your husband and you are going through all of this. I hope he gets the right treatment and care in the days ahead. I said a prayer for you both tonight.

Sending prayers and well wishes for your husband. Beautiful shots of the Cardinal. I think they have the prettiest coloring.
Deseo que tu marido se esté recuperando para recibir su tratamiento y que todo le salga bien. Las fotos son preciosas. Abrazos.
Your photos are beautiful, Diane. I’ve never seen Palafox before — such a lovely bloom. I’m so sorry Ron had a tough week. Hoping and praying for him. Please take care, and thank you for still sharing your little pieces of Florida with us.
Thinking of both of you, and praying Ron will be healthy enough to have chemo. A hard time. May God's strength fill you each day.
Really nice pics. I also have a lot of pics on my computer that never have been published...I think they are too many. Thanks for your kind visit to my blog.
Have a good time
Violetta
