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

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?
