The farmer and the cowman should be friends.
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.
One man likes to push a plough, the other likes to chase a cow,
But that's no reason why they cain't be friends.
Territory folks should stick together.
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cowboys dance with farmers' daughters.
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals!
Many thanks to my talented friend Emily who took these cowboy pictures of Tobin and, by doing so, inspired this whole post. Emily, you're a blessing to me!
Many thanks also to Rodgers and Hammerstein for writing such a catchy tune and including it in Oklahoma. My boys are big fans of you. ;-)
And thank you for posting!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos, and what a skippy tune to begin my morning!
What wonderful photos! I love how you chose the words so perfectly to go with them.
ReplyDeleteOh, this totally reminded me of the time we went to see Oklahoma! many many years ago at HHS. I think that was only 1 of 2 HS plays I've seen, and it was so good I'm still impressed when I think about it today. Thanks for bringing back a fun memory :) (And your boys are awfully cute!)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, just adorable!
ReplyDeleteWe're down by Roanoke - not too far!
Adorable! Emily is so talented. I hopped over to her blog and see that she's quite a photographer and blogger. I may have found a new place to visit.
ReplyDeleteForgive me if I've asked this question before, but do you scrapbook? I know your blog is a virtual scrapbook, but I am totally picturing these farmer and cowman pics on paper with some farm stickers and the lyrics to that song!
Mary, I don't scrapbook. I tried...once upon a time...a very long time ago...and was terrible. :) After I started blogging, I quickly came to the conclusion that I could--for free (or nearly free)--use my blog as a scrapbook. Getting all the scrapbooking materials that I would have wanted would have cost a pretty penny, so I chose to go this route. Plus, blogging is just so much easier for me.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, I totally agree with your idea about these pictures; what a nice spread that would be!
Very cute!! Love these pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhh!! I LOVE this!!! Those are great pictures. Emily is so talented! I have always loved that song too! I was in that musical in high school. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! And that is one of my favorite songs from Oklahoma! Loved it...
ReplyDeleteOh, these are great!
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love the pictures!!!! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of the bare-feet. Oh wait, you have snakes there don't you? Nevermind, I'll take the snow for a little while longer.
ReplyDeleteI went in search of one of those hand plows once. One shop wanted $40 dollars for one she thought should be used as a lawn ornament. Boo. I thought that was too much.
I'm so glad you liked the pictures! I had SO much fun taking them! :)
