Just living in a conservative state like Oklahoma is worth it all. I actually love the weather here because winters are short and spring and fall are long and in the summer humidity is low!
I can see the lights of B'ville and T-Town from my home at night. But I can also see the milky way.....
I can see all the way to Kansas from my place.....as long as the big bluestem, and the turkey grasses don't get too high.
A helicopter is a foreign sound. The only sirens I hear are coming from the cowboy's feed trucks....and the only bawling I hear...is some calf looking for it's momma.
Among many other things, I can see bald eagles in the winter, scissor-tails in the summer...and hear the welcome song of the meadow lark in the spring.
Please stay where you are....and I will stay where I am. Hehehehe.....
Best FRegards,
Now I am getting homesick to go back to the prairie.....I'm a Jayhawker stranded on the beach.
Outstanding pictures!
Earthquakes happenning never have any pretty pictures.
LOL! You and I just traded places...that's all. I used to spend too much time at the beach....
Best FRegards,
Very well stated! :)
I love watching the storms roll in. The other evening the weather guys on TV reported a huge wall cloud moving over where I live including naming the street I live on and what happens -- our whole street goes outside to take a look at the wall cloud -- no rotation but it was something to see as it moved over because it was so low.
I liked Norman, and I liked Tulsa. I'd go back to either one, if I had the opportunity.
This is the best place to raise a family -- I was looking out the window just now at all the green we have right now and at my plants I just bought this morning that need planting -- makes you feel great with the sun shining and hearing the birds singing away!
Hope you get back this way some day even if Osage Orange says stay away :) Seriously, I wouldn't want to live anyplace except Oklahoma now.
I grew up in Oklahoma, and those pictures are why I will not go back to live there.
