A year in Pictures: Long Creek Farm's First Year in Oklahoma

Our one-year anniversary of living in OK is coming up (September 1st) and we thought it would be fun to do a sort of "year review" blog, or more like a timeline...

If you haven't been following our blogs we have been sending out this past year, you may want to go back and read them to get more information on some of the events I mention here.
