Walking The Sunny Beaches of Tulsa

IMG_5573

I bet you didn’t know that Tulsa had nice sandy beaches did you? Well, we may not have beaches like this one in Orange Beach, Alabama but it is going to get close to 60F today so a lot of people are going to feel like it is a beach day.

Thank Goodness for Australia is all I say. The Australian bloggers showing the nice warm weather they have down there this time of year is about the only thing that keeps me going.

I know why snowbirds are the way they are.

So, when you think beaches does the word Tulsa pop into your mind?

Yeah, me neither.

At least we haven’t had this so far this Winter

 

A Long Time Ago, When the Sun Shined

Earlier this week, when the son still shined, I took a little longer walk than usual. I mean you have to when the sun is shining right?

I’m sure glad that I took that walk that was a little longer than usual because the sun decided to go on a New Year’s Holiday.

It may have gone to Hawaii or I don’t know where. I just know that it is not in Oklahoma. It has been cold, wet, and miserable here. So I hadn’t got out to take any other pics.

But, I sure am glad that I took a little extra time that day to enjoy the sun. I’m not sure it is coming back.

Weekend Reflections – Rainy Days

IMG_20140730_180706

It has been raining here in Tulsa lately, a lot. It is the all day soft steady kind rather than the hard driving flood producing damaging kind of rain. We have been going through a drought so hopefully we are breaking it. Northeast Tulsa is called green country because of all the trees and general lushness. All that lushness requires a lot of water and Tulsa gets an average of 47 inches of rain a year and so far this year we are about 10 inches short of that so I hope we are making it up a little bit.

47 inches a year sounds like a lot to me. That is almost four feet of rain a year!  No wonder we spend so much money on drainage projects and dams around here!

So what about you? Are you getting enough rain where you live?
