Oklahoma is one heck of a place in the springtime. One minute you can be driving along the highway admiring the dense carpet of wildflowers and the next you are in a deluge dodging tornadoes.

I’ve been hearing about the “Blue Whale of Catoosa” for quite some time and after reading this Buzz Feed post, “The 45 Best Things About Living in Oklahoma”, I was determined to see the whale for myself. It occurred to me as we were driving up to Joplin on Sunday that we probably weren’t too…

Friends in other parts of the country ask how I can bear to live in a place with such a high risk of tornadoes and I totally get where they are coming from.

I took this picture on my way to a meeting this evening: Isn’t that gorgeous? And I didn’t use a filter, either. Tomorrow I’ll tell you all about our Mardi Gras party Saturday night but right now David and I are going to settle in with cups of Earl Grey and watch Downton Abbey. We…
