Happy November everybody! And it certainly feels like it outside. We are going to be hitting some low temperatures this week, like in the 30’s. So if you still have plants outside that you are going to bring inside for the winter, now is the time to get it done. Every...

Well, another month is coming to an end and it should start feeling more like fall. But there are still tomatoes and peppers growing in the garden and the Impatiens and Petunias are still blooming. Mother Nature is amazing! We went to Kansas City last weekend for the...

It is amazing what some decent rain showers will do for the landscape – the grass is greening up again and the flowers look so happy. The 70-degree temps were awesome, but it looks like we are going to get close to 80 again, maybe a bit higher. Typical Oklahoma...

Here we are at the last big “hoorah” of the summer season on Grand Lake – Labor Day Weekend! However, it doesn’t look like the weather is going to cool down anytime soon, so there may be a lot of weekends left to play on the lakes. On that note…the weather...
