In support of those risking their lives to save ours

I set our crape myrtle lights on sparkling blue as part of a nationwide effort last night to show support and thanks to frontline workers and essential staff who are working to keep us safe from the coronavirus, including doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, grocery store clerks, police officers, public service workers and employees of other essential businesses.

I had posted a picture of the new lights on our tree on March 22, when there were no tulips, azaleas or leaves on any trees in view. What a difference a few weeks make.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Rainy day tulips, posted earlier:

Very nicely done, and a great thing to do that is for sure. Where would the rest of us be without these people? V
