Huge grass fire

Because it is so hot and dry outside this summer, there have been many grass fires around the state. Craig said he was re-routed twice on the way back from Oklahoma City cause of fires, and today we saw this one on the way back from Tulsa. It was huge, this picture only shows a part of it. Grass fires are very dangerous and scary, and this time of year, they are usually started by some idiot throwing a cigarette or a glass bottle out of their window. Oklahoma has had a burn ban pretty much since spring, and guess what people? There is a reason for it! So please be careful what you leave behind and what you do this summer.

Greasy spoon

Mom took me for breakfast today at Shortcake's. Stillwater's very own greasy spoon. Very tasty :).

More Boomer Lake

Here are a couple views of the lake. And I saw a mommy duck and her three babies. So cute! And a teenage bunny that I didn't have time to get a picture of. Fun stuff! Along with the baby snake sighting the other day I am amassing quite the zoo :).

Back to Boomer

I walked all the way around the lake today, Boomer Lake. It is 5 kilometers and for those of you who don't know, I walked this lake A LOT when I lived in the US for a few months during my separation. Same walking sticks and Camel Pack, same parking space. No Kristen or Billy walking with me though :(. But Lori might come when our schedules allow :). And if not, I have my music. Not as good, but way better than the voices, most of them are way too bossy and whiny and need to be drowned out :).

Talk about a "Welcome back"!

This delightful little magazine was on my car when I left work this morning. Now I know I am home again! Stupid Christians.

Baby snake :)

This little guy was just chillin' like a villain on the sidewalk outside the apartment today. He was kinda cute :). And he didn't run away when I snuck up to take a picture.
