Last week my bride, Heather, and I celebrated our thirty-sixth wedding anniversary. That is getting up in some years. We have been through a lot together, up and down and all around. I will tell you one thing, you don’t stay married that along by accident, both people have to work it. Anyway, we celebrated here in Tulsa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We decided to go check out the Tulsa Botanic Garden. We are members but we haven’t been there in a while and it is always fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They do a great job with both the plants and garden decorations. I love gardens that also decorate with non-plant items. It adds a little extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love color!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And whimsy and butterflies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While there we checked out their CrossTimbers trail. It winds for a mile or so through woods and prairie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s got some great views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I really wanted to see it because I was part of a group of people with the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition who came out in June and rerouted the trail to make it more sustainable and take it through more interesting areas. That’s an action shot of me above, back in June, with my loppers, bug spray, sun hat, and water bottle lopping away. We got a lot done in just a few hours. The garden still had some work to do after that day and they announced the new trail route was open a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Garden had a controlled burn done last year that really worked out well and knocked down the invasive species and opened the woods up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There’s Heather, way ahead of me as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Heather<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I stole this photo from Heather’s facebook. She takes better portraits than I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So after the trip to the gardens we went home and cleaned up and went shopping for our anniversary gift. We were looking for a chiminea and we found one from a local out fit right away. A medium sized one complete with a bag of pinion, a bag of lava rocks for the fire to sit on, and a hat for the chiminea. And they delivered it to us a couple hours later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we went to our favorite restaurant and had a great Italian dinner and then came back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And fired up the Chiminea. Lots of fun and smells good with the pinon wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Heather<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thirty Six years in the book. I’m a blessed man, what can I say. Looking forward to Thirty Seven. Thirty seven is a prime number and I love prime numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
