Ok, this is a test to see if I can post a few pics from today's trip up to Kingfisher County to have a look at how the wheat crop is doing, since the local papers say it is a bumper year for wheat here due to the early rains and the dry spell after, just before the big May Wacko Weather. Now they are just prayin' for a dry out so they can harvest.

This one is the Mural from the town of Kingfisher, Oklahoma. A proud little town, with a heap of history packed into it, seeing as it is on the Chisholm trail. And the Northern end of the Land Run Towns.

Ok, this one is the actual wheat crop, if you look close you will see an oil well over to the side. Now yall remember, if we drill in ANWAR, destruction and ruination like you see here, could result. *cough*

Ok, just one more of the Wheat Crop, because I know this prolly bores yall to tears. But let me tell you if you take an interest in the crops your State produces, then it just means more to you when a tornado rips hell out of a part of the state, and some idiot on TWC says: "Well, hell, it was just off is some field someplace." Let me tell you this is the life blood of the people of Oklahoma.

"And the waving wheat, can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain..."

Yea, I did, I borrowed my neighbor's digital camera and took it with me. My boyfriend's mother lives up in Enid Oklahoma, and we also went to have a nice afternoon visit with her, and to see how she did during the storms.

We were going to go on Sunday, but there is a place in Okarche, Oklahoma that has the world's best Cinnamon rolls, and they are closed on Sunday and it just would not be the same trip without stopping in to get his mother some cinnamon rolls.

Wheat Crop looks real good, the grains are real fat! Now...just a couple weeks of dry for that part of the state that yesterday was under a "River Flood Warning", and they can harvest that stuff and the USA will be feeding the world with a bumper wheat harvest.

God loves us in Oklahoma.
