Where have all the flowers gone?

I will restrain myself from singing that song, but seriously, where have all the flowers gone? Summer's going so slow, but the flowers are going too fast. It's only mid-July and everything is wilting. 

I went on a canoe trip with family friends yesterday, String and Leigh lakes. We checked the huckleberries hopefully, but they were just turning green. Oh well, that means they'll be ripe after we get back from the Great Grandparent Tour.

Happy Birthday, Ringo!

Today, July 7th, is Ringo Starr's birthday! For all you poor, unfortunate people who don't know who he is, Ringo is the ex-drummer for the Beatles, the best band on the face of the Earth.
It's his birthday, so we all have to celebrate.

Songs Ringo wrote and/or sang:

Yellow Submarine

Boys

Don't Pass Me By

With A Little Help From My Friends

Act Naturally

...And several others I don't remember! Happy Birthday, Ringo!

Insert misery here.

This is how I feel. Why? I just got two more teeth pulled. That means in total I'll have had ten teeth pulled. Argh, it feels so weird! I feel like a bloated toad today.

Hmmm, Bloated Toad. That would be a good name for a band.
