Spring Inside and Out

 

Hello my friends!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

First today I wanted to show you my 

Spring Mantles.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Next up some Spring outside.

My one lone yellow tulip.

Honeysuckle for the hummingbirds.

Kiwi vine for color.

The leaves turn to white around the edges

and then pink in the middle.

Our only tree in our yard.

This flowering pear.

Bob cleaned up under the wagon...

and forgot that was where our blackberries were.

Oh well no blackberries this year.

He also cleaned up this bed and mulched.

Not sure what shrubs I will plant in here now,

but I want some that flower.

Finally our evergreen Lilac shrubs.

These bloom constantly all Summer long,

and smell just like normal lilacs.

In other news,

on Tuesday President Trump came to Michigan.

He announced that they will keep

our air national guard base open...

and also bring in 21 new jets and tankers.

We are so thankful that our governor

put politics aside and went to visit him

to fight and keep 

Selfridge Air National Guard Base 

open...because President Biden had slated

it for closure.

I know this because someone 

who works at Selfridge told me so.

It had also been on our local news last year.

I drive by this base every time I go to work.

I sometimes see the jets and the planes

take off and land. Also this base is home

to our Coast Guard helicopters.

These are so needed in our area because

of us being surrounded by water...

and they go to all water emergencies...

even to take someone off a freighter who

has a medical emergency.

I left at noon to avoid the closure of the road I take.

So glad I did, because after his speech

at the base, the motorcade went over to

Macomb Community College...

which would have caused another traffic

jam for me.   

Anyways saving the base will be good

for the economy in the area.

They even put a big billboard just outside

of the base saying...

Thank you Governor Whitmer for saving

Selfridge Air National Guard Base.

Driving through the marsh now,

the lily pads are sprouting up.

Soon the yellow and white flowers will appear.

The egrets are back now.

No baby signets (swans) yet.

The one nest I can see from the road

still has mama sitting on it.

Well have to get to work.

Hope everyone enjoys their upcoming weekend.

Spring Has Sprung Blessings To All
