Birthday Whirlwind

The last two weeks have been a birthday whirlwind on Country Road in Skiatook. First Rebecca had her birthday week, which ended with a birthday bash and the aforementioned surprise visit from Jenn. Then Rick's birthday came along, and there are some nice new plants around the front of his house to commemorate it. Mz. Virginia had wanted to buy him a cake, but we found out that he likes pie just as much as she does, so there were birthday pies for both him and her. Rebecca bought a lemon and a chocolate pie, and Barb and Denny bought an apple crumb pie when they visited on her birthday. Barb also bought a nice outfit for Mz. V and a pretty flower plant for Rick's front porch.

The weather is stormy here, but there hasn't actually been a lot of rain. The sky just teased us all weekend, huffing and puffing and blowing around til finally on Sunday night it quit taunting us and dropped some rain. It is back to teasing mode this morning. We wonder how long it will make us wait this time...

The flowers look nice next to the one's that Lori planted. Now if Rick can just have the ground dry enough to plant the tomato plants.

We've been getting some rain, but hopefully he will be able to get those plants in the ground soon. The rain is making all the new flower pots pretty though.
