Willowwood Arboretum, Part IV













I'm going to be a post and run blogger today. Please forgive me, but my father-in-law is in intensive care, and my mother-in-law, who suffers from dementia, needs someone to sit with her. I was gone from home most of yesterday, and expect to be so again today.

These photos were taken several weeks ago at Willowwood Arboretum. For more information, check out my posts here, here and here.

And if you could, please say a prayer. Thanks.

  1. I definitely will pray (and maybe a few others, too)! I hope that it was a bit refreshing to look at these lovely photos. This looks like a place from a novel - very romantic!

    Take care! Katy Noelle xo

  3. Immediate knee-mails being sent on their behalf, Mary! It is so very hard when the elderly start to fail.
    I'll be thinking of you & praying that things turn around for the better very soon.

    Thanks for the lovely shots of the arboretum. It looks so lush & cool. I would love to have such gardens but I sure don't want the work of caring for them. I'd need *staff*, too! :-)

    Take care of yourself.

  8. Your father-in-law is in my prayers. My mother-in-law also had dementia and feel for you very deeply. It is a very tough road to travel, it gives us strenth we didn't know we had. All the best and strength to you.
