Welcome Summer to Michigan! I had to close the window when the lawn mower people came to mow my lawn, to keep out the cloud of dust and clippings from coming inside.
Welcome Summer to Michigan! I went to a local baseball game last week, and also watched little league ball in the park across the street.

Welcome Summer to Michigan! There are flowers everywhere, and trees with leaves! There is shade and sun! There is so much to do outside on weekends, my list grows ever longer!

Welcome Summer to Michigan! Thanks for coming back! For awhile there I thought you would never arrive. I could have used you a few times last winter. Come earlier next year! You are always welcome!
Welcome Summer to Michigan!
