Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.

That was spectacular. I can't wipe the smile off my face.
so nice, great photos and gosh, that song sounds familiar. hehe
I was just reading your blog, and lo and behold, your face appeared on mine! I love love love your photos! They're wonderful!
Oklahoma! I love it! We're doing fine.
Oh Marla, what a wonderful, fun post. I couldn't help but smile the whole time. I do have one question however, in the first photo isn't that "wind" going to do a little more than gently sweep?

I didn't read this, I sang it! Thanks for putting a little song in my evening. Love your pictures and post..very uplifting!!!!
Are those your pictures? Wow!
I sang along! LOL Beautiful photos..as always. I hope you have a wonderful week:)
I'm still singing it. Great photos and cute post.
Gorgeous! I love pictures of farms -- they are so lovely.
Mami ~ Thanks! Glad I could make you smile.
Jeanine ~ Welcome!
Coby ~ How funny!
Ok Book Woman ~ Yes, we are!
Judy ~ That "wind" took our house sweeping down the plain May 3,1999, but that's another story.
KJ ~ It is a great song, right?
honeypiehorse ~ The first few and the last one are of Oklahoma but I did not take them. The rest are all mine. The one of the farm is our farm where the tornado hit.
Sonya, Rae & brainella ~ Thanks! Aren't Sunday posts fun because of Mami?
that was awesome. glad you feel so at home there. i have always been a wanderer, never quite finding my home. out side of my family. where they are i will always be...home.
Love your photos, the song and the musical too. Have you ever seen the outdoor production of "Oklahoma" near Tulsa? It's wonderful!
Very beautiful where you live!!! I love belonging to the land... It certainly rules our life here... And for the moment, it is keeping me inside, where it is cozy and warm. I enjoyed your photos, it reminds me that spring will come again, one day!

Great! Did you take all those?
Something tells me there's not much skiing around your neck of the woods
Fabulous pictures....even if that first one is a tad ummm scary!!
I LOVE that movie! LOVE LOVE LOVE it. :)
YOu know I totally love that song! When my older sister & I used to try to fight as kids..I would often sing it at the top of my lungs because she hated it when I sing... I'll have to do it to her real soon...that would be fun :) Thanks for the reminder Marla!
Just stopped by to wish you a lovely weekend. I am sure you have it packed with all sorts of adventures.
Kate

Marla, beautiful photos. I am happy to be back and read your posts. My life is so busy now, lots of good things are happening in my personal and spiritual evolution. But I miss giving time to my beloved blog friends!

i was looking at some of your older posts and i saw this one again. i am thinking that you may be interested in the toni morrison novel paradise (which takes place mostly in oklahoma incidentally) and is about two very different types of utopias in the same town. it is one of my very favorite books.
Brian ~ Same here. My home is wherever Bob is. Always has been. Always will be.
Mama Zen ~ Isn't it cool!
Oklahoma Granny ~ Not yet but it's on my wish list.
Kate ~ I always cry when I sing that line of the song.
Nancy C ~ They are pretty cool
Margo ~ You really should then!
Melani & Joanna ~ Thank you!
UG ~ The first few and the last one are of Oklahoma but I did not take them. The rest are all mine.
Skiing is not high on the list of to-do's here. Cowtipping, however..
MM ~ You have no idea!
gayle ~ Thanks!
ALVN ~ I agree
Taylor ~ Me too!
Libbie ~ Anything I can do to spur sibling rivalry is always my pleasure. :-)
