One would think that the Woodbury's never put up any new "stuff" on their website, how could you tell? The lack of postings might be a clue, so here we are in the Springtime trying to make up for lost time.
We did take a drive up to the Wichita's and drove up to the top of Mt. Scott, here is Bryce on the overlook, you can see for miles up there. The Ft. Sill post and Lawton are on the middle and farside on the left. It was a beautiful day for a drive and I took the picture since I do not like heights, you wouldn't get me too close to get this kind of picture.
Let us count the events of the new year, we did have a snowfall here in Oklahoma, we got approximately 1/2 inch of snow, ice combination and then it melted. We did have two "snow-days" when we were kind of sequestered to our apartment, the military post was closed down and schools were closed.
That is what you get when it snows in Oklahoma. No school, no work.
We did get a picture of the snow, as you can see it was not that threatening, however most of the car accidents happened because of inexperienced drivers trying to navigate on the slippery stuff.
Then the warm weather started to beckon to us to start thinking about planting something, it didn't matter what, just something. I should have been warned about the Spring bug, when all the seed catalogs started coming in right after Christmas.
Then my brother Don and his wife Liz sent us a gift of Amarylis which we planted and watched grow with amazement to full bloom.
First we bought some pots and daylilie rhizomes to plant, and they are doing very well, thank you.
Then we were in Sam's Club and saw a garden starter for the patio, it was one of the models that grows plants upside down in a planter. We couldn't resist, here is a picture of Bryce watering our garden in the back patio.
We have had a frost several times now and finally figured out how to protect our garden boxes, we hung a sleeping bag over the clothesline and it did a fine job of saving the few plants that survived the first two frosts.
We just got 50 strawberry plants and 4 hanging pouches, that is our next garden project. "Stay tuned for more" of the story.
