Wow! Wasn’t the snow last Sunday beautiful? We certainly didn’t get as much as the Tulsa area, but we got enough to get us in the Christmas mood. I love poinsettias at Christmas, but another favorite of mine is Christmas Cactus. They are easy to care for and provide...

December! What????? And the weather is feeling like it. Mother Nature handed out a pretty rough freeze in our area this week. Yep, the green healthy foliage on my potatoes is done. But the potatoes are nice and safe under the soil line. So what is the difference...

According to the weather guys, it looks like we are going to push 90 degrees sometime this week. That is crazy! How can we go from nice fall weather to a high of 90 in a matter of a few days? That’s Oklahoma weather for you! Speaking of weather, I saw in the paper...

Well, fall is here and the weather is right on track. There have been summers where it was hot all through September, but we have had darn near perfect fall weather this year. So if your warm-weather crops are looking like they are done for the season, now is a good...

Well, the weather was absolutely gorgeous again this weekend. It couldn’t have been more appropriate than Sunday and Monday were perfect because the Autumn equinox was Tuesday which is the official first day of fall. The Equinox occurs twice a year when the sun is...
