Frosty Wintry Themes
Another icy day
As winter continues on
A frosty glaze on everything
Creates a wintry song
Sparkling icicles hang delicately
From the barnyard fence
Cattle staring through the freeze
As their breath hangs in suspense
Beautiful ice coated ponds
Create the perfect skating rink
Children bundle up in their warmest
A winter paradise they think
Ah, look at the windmill
It has its own special charm
But with its winter coat of ice
Brings such magic to the farm

Captured Memories
Captured memories from the past
At the Oklahoma History Center
You’ll be surprised and impressed
The very moment you enter
It’s such a treasured museum
One you will truly enjoy
Early railroad pictures
That has so many stories
A one room school house
Really takes you back
Railroad in the early stages
So different from the Amtrak
Teepees from the past as well
Oil once called Black gold
An oh, the stories and the tales
So many to be told

A Red Dirt Day
It was just a lazy afternoon
Not much was going on
I decided to take a drive
And I thought as I drove along
How much I enjoyed every day
With red dirt beneath my feet
And on this lovely journey
Friendly cows were such a treat
Hay bales lined up like dominos
So needed for winter feed
Newly plowed bright red fields
To plant those precious seeds
A pond with dazzling red draws
A tree or two around
I always have my window down
To hear the country sounds

Chocolate Festival
There is nothing that is better
Than an array of chocolate treats
Delicious more than anything
So creamy, soft and sweet
Dark or light we have it all
Molded into ducks and little pigs
Some are rather small and delicate
And some are amazingly big
Of course the bigger the pieces
The more you get to eat
Just fill your plate, folks
Then go and grab a seat
There is music playing
Bluegrass is the sound
Enjoy this chocolate festival
It’s the best for miles around

Soft Romantic Touch
June is here again, folks
And with it come the brides
Smiles upon their faces
For this is their ‘romantic’ side
The groom dressed in a suit
Dresses so beautiful and flowing
A happy day for the couple
They are absolutely glowing
Friends gathered ‘round
To share this special day
Speeches always made
For there’s so much to say
Punch and cake are served
For a send-off as well
Romance is in the air
Kinda makes your heart swell

Dog Days of Summer
It’s a hot and lazy time of year
With temperatures rising high
A body doesn’t want to work
Doesn’t even want to try
It’s time to lie around and rest
Not exert much energy
It’s too hot to work but rather
We want to take it pretty easy
And if you do have to work
Either do it early in the morn
Or after the sun goes down
Sometime before the dawn
Oh how nice it feels
On these dog days of summer
When the sun drops down
The day has turned a bit cooler

Frozen Winter Themes
Our frozen landscape capturing
A world all fresh and cold
As we bundle up so warmly
Winter stories will be told
The crunch of snow beneath our feet
Our footsteps leaving prints
Mittened hands rolling tight
Snowballs to be sent
Oh look, the picnic table
We use throughout the summer
Munching nummy sandwiches
When days are so much warmer
Memories of summertime
Have turned to winter joy
Sparkling childhood fantasies
For every girl and boy

Campfire Meal
There is nothing like a meal
From a flaming hot campfire
It cooks the kind of food
For which you’ll never tire
A slow cooked smoky brisket
The best you ever got
Along with homemade biscuits
Cooked right in a iron pot
The beans are so hot and spicy
Your taste buds will yell hooray
The food is so delicious
I don’t know just what to say
The sweet corn and potatoes
Are cooked on the campfire too
Grab a plate and get in line
That’s just what you want to do

World of White
When I woke up this morning
My world was layered in white
So cold it was and very still
Snow had fallen through the night
No birds chirped a good morning
The bugs were hidden away
Instead was this harsh cold
I felt as though it would stay
I could barely see my lawn chair
For white had settled so thick
I wished I had seen it fall
This snow as it began to stick
The trees and bushes were
A fresh and lovely sight
Snow decorated the branches
Making winter look just right

A Trip to Tiger Mountain
Up in Tiger Mountain
There’s a place that’s very rare
A sight that’s plucked out from the past
An experience you’ll want to share
There is a wonderful quilt barn
With quilts so bright with style
Antiques that are so special
You’ll want to stay awhile
You should see the flowers
Gorgeous to the sight
It’s a rustic country setting
You’ll want to spend the night
The horses are amazing
There’s a mare with her baby
Friendly and adorable
They will visit with you maybe
