This is what we saw Tuesday evening.  God always let you know that He's got your back.

Skywatch Friday - Climbing Mountains

This is a big mountain to Redbird.  It is actually the pond dam.  She climbs up it pretending to be a Kentucky Mountain Horse.  I love that this is the only place she has lived and she can use her imagination all day.  I'm not sure why she is giving me that look though.

For more beautiful "sky" photos check out Skywatch Fridays.

Have a great day.

Skywatch Friday - At The Rodeo Chinook Helicopters

These guys fly over my house almost everyday.  Last month we took the kids to the rodeo at Bristow and these wanted to see the rodeo too.  The crowd went wild!!! They must have known we were there.

There they go.

And now they are gone, but wait

here comes two more and the crowd goes wild again!

Oklahoma National Guard

As you know we have lost our 8th soilder from the 45th in the last 3 weeks.  Our prayers are with these families and friends.

For a complete list of Oklahoman who have paid the ultimate price during the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan go to Heroes of Oklahoma from Tulsa World.

This week we also lost two young men from the rodeo world, Aaron Custer of Elk City and Benton Drury of Olustee.  Both young men were on their way to college at Weatherford when a tragic accident occurred.  Both were members of the rodeo team at Southwestern Oklahoma State U.  For more about this tragic loss go to News-star.com and PBR Now.

Skywatch Friday - Which Way Does The Wind Blow?

In Oklahoma you can always tell which way the winds blows by which direction our trees are leaning.

Skywatch Friday II

I know I have posted a similar photo on a previous post but I love this photo it is so Oklahoma.  This was taken Feb. 1, 2011 and it was definitely a white-out.  My daughter calls the round bales frosted mini wheats.   

This is the highway closest to our home also taken on the 1st.  I didn't get the mail that day or the day after.  The mail was delivered on the 2nd but I chose not to get it.

Have a great day, stay warm and safe.

Oh, don't forget to watch Who Do You Think You Are? tonight.

My First Skywatch Friday

Helicopter with a big saw

Since I first saw Skywatch Friday on Yogi's Den I wanted to be a part of it.

So, here I am doing my first Skywatch.  We woke up to this last Saturday morning.  A man sawing down trees.  Not just any man, a man with nerves of steel.  Flying a helicopter and cutting trees at the same time.

I'll post more photos soon.

In the meantime check out Skywatch Friday for more great photos.

Have a great day.

Love,

Territory Mom
