Waiting for this years bulbs to come up. Daffodil Salome and tulips Mrs. J. T. Scheepers (yellow) and Kingsblood (red). Planted alternate colors on front bank on top and by back door.
Obama said:

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. All this we will do.

The last time the word 'science' was used in a Presidential inaugural address was when Nixon used it in 1969.
