First day of spring.   It feels like it here in Oklahoma.   The mock pear trees are blooming, daffodils are up and the wild lilacs and clover are blooming pretty purple everywhere.

We passed one big field of purple flowers.   I looked up purple flowers in Oklahoma and apparently there are several lavender fields here.  One farm is 500 acres and they have a big festival every year when it’s in bloom.  I think the field we saw was clover though.   It’s too early for lavender plus they were low to the ground, not bushy.   Beautiful though.

We went through Tulsa and Stillwater Oklahoma then in to Arkansas.  Not a lot to see but rain soaked fields.  Looks like they have had some flooding.

We crossed over in to Tennessee for about half an hour or so and then in to Mississippi.   Found a Pilot about 60 miles in and have stopped for the night.    It has been a long day.   Greg is wore out.    We still have about 400 miles to go tomorrow to get to our stop at Bubba’s Burgers in Elberton, Georgia.   We have been there before.  Its almost on the border of Georgia and South Carolina.

DG here:  Oh, forgot to tell you all we had stewed chicken two nights for dinner and then chicken sandwiches for lunch today.  That crock pot is definitely earning its keep.

Drove over 600 miles today and I feel it.  Tired puppy.  Good weather though and some trees are starting to bloom along with some flowers.  Spring is definitely in the air.  Stopped at a truck stop earlier for a bathroom break and there were several small trees near the entrance filled with chirping birds.  It was almost deafening they were so loud and there were so many of them.  However, you couldn’t see them in the trees so it made somewhat of an eerie scene. Everyone who has seen the movie “The Birds” knows what I am talking about.

Moved on from there and aside from the wreck on the opposite side of the highway, see pics below, we had an uneventful trip.  Thank you Lord.

We’re still having a good time.  Annie got the UK game on her iPad and let me listen to that as I drove.  My radio allows me to plug in my iPhone or iPad and play books, music or TV over the truck stereo so it sounds pretty good.  You need a good sound system to hear over the engine.  Cats won by the way, for those who didn’t see the game.

Tomorrow we go the rest of the way through Mississippi and Alabama and Georgia.  Praying for a safe journey with good weather.

Good night and God bless everyone.
