My friend Lauren from Kentucky came for a visit. She asked if we could take a little trip up to the TallGrass Prairie in Northern Oklahoma, and I READILY said yes! It's my favorite place on earth you know, and one of my favorite things to do is to show it off to people who've never been there before. It was a dreary, drippy day, but that really didn't matter. Off we went. Once we got to the TallGrass itself, I was worried because we weren't seeing any of the 2,500 bison that roam there. But after driving a few miles into the prairie, we came across a HUGE herd, probably the most I've seen in one place at one time. It was quite spectacular. There were probably 500 head or more in one place. And of course a few were in the road daring us to try to pass. They finally sauntered across so we could continue on the path. Fantastic! Here are a couple of pictures, which aren't great due to the non-photogenic weather.
Now for today at Afton Station, which I'm aware is why most of you tune in to my blog. Ron M. and I drove up in a pretty severe rainstorm and we observed a lot of side-of-the-road flooding. When we arrived in Afton, we found some flooding in David's work rooms, so we picked stuff up off the floor but didn't do much else, since David said he'd be there tomorrow to mop it out, and besides, it was still coming in even as were leaving in the afternoon.
The morning was pretty uneventful, with no visitors. I'm not surprised, considering the weather. Ron and I did some reading, then we got both Ron and Tripper ready for the upcoming Easter holiday. I guess you'll be able to tell that we were pretty darn bored!
It's been a busy week for me so far. Time for my life to chill out a little bit, and yet I'm hoping for a VERY busy weekend at Afton Station.
