Keeping Up On Spring

Hello friends.
Am getting a little late but here is 
what our keeping room looks like for Spring.












Hope you enjoyed the pics.

In other news.
The weather here has still been Springlike.
Rainy, cold and damp.
The Summer temps come next week.

Chip and Dale (the chipmunks I named last year)
They have become a family of five.
Their nest is in our flower box underneath 
our kitchen window.


I managed to take a sad pic of three of them.
Am hoping the snakes dont get them.
I know they can be a nuisance, 
but I do think they are cute.

Tuesday afternoon there was a close call
with the American Spirit freighter,
almost hitting the seawall underneath
the Blue Water Bridges that cross 
from the US to Canada.
These bridges are in Port Huron, MI.
One bridge for each direction of traffic.
The captain did not take the bend
in the river correctly.
If this freighter had been loaded...
it might have hit the bridges.
It also would have hit another freighter 
if one had been coming down from the lake.
The US Coast Guard is investigating the incident.
 
Well have to get to work.
I hope everyone has a great rest of the week,
and a fantastic weekend.

End of May Blessings To All!

  2. I'm glad someone else keeps their rabbits up beyond Easter like I do! I just love them and you have some fabulous ones. That's scary about the freighter. I can't bear to think the mess if that bridge to Canada was damaged. It would take forever to fix.

  3. I love your Spring look!
    We have chipmunks too. They are so cute, but they do mess up our flower beds which makes Bob upset. :)
    So glad the freighter didn't hit the bridge. That's pretty scary!

  5. I love your keeping room. The gorgeous old cabinet is the perfect place for displaying your wonderful old prims.
    Squirrels have taken over my garden. They are also quite destructive in the flower beds. What a disaster it would have been if the bridges had been hit.

  7. I do love all your items. Was that your store or your house or both?
    Chipmunks can do a lot of damage. They did holes in the ground. Be careful.
    Glad there was not an accident with the ships!

  8. I'll trade you a few weasels and throw in a bunch of bunnies for a chipmunk?? Ok, maybe not. Love all of your little spring vignettes and settings. I especially like those crocheted eggs of you. I could see a whole big bowl of them in just blues and browns. Yikes about the freighters. Glad the were able to avert the disaster. Cool, cloudy and dreary here but, like you, looking forward to more summer-like temps on the way.
