My Mom was 91 years old yesterday. We stopped by and got Blizzards for lunch to celebrate. Dad and I arranged chairs out in the garage just out of the wind but still in the sunshine.
Mom said she had a busy morning on the phone with birthday messages...beginning with three year old Ray who is a Great Grandchild singing Happy Birthday!
A few weeks ago Mom mentioned that she no longer had any flags to put up because her flags were all worn out. So I did some shopping.
This flag for Fall and another that she can put up for December ... it has snow and Cardinals. Cardinal's visit their bird feeders.
This is the photo I put on Mom's Birthday card...it is their backyard in the summertime. The front garden is filled with Lupine and Hollyhocks. The wagon in back is full of Wave Petunias...purple and rose colored. Dad still does all the lawn mowing and Mom works in her flower beds. The Ox Cart is just there for decoration.
