Alex, Ladd, and I found ourselves together at the Lodge the other day, and she snapped some photos of us right inside the doorway. The reason she took the photos of us right inside the doorway was that the wind was blowing at 25 mph (with 40 mph wind gusts), and my hair would have not just blown across my face, it would have blown off my head and straight to Salina, Kansas.
In case I am not being clear, the wind in Oklahoma is absolutely bonkers right now.
To put it another way: The wind in Oklahoma is absolutely ridonkulous.
One funny thing about these photos is that Ladd and I were all smiley and calm and peaceful and posey and serene---while Alex was standing outside with her camera in the howling wind, trying to steady herself and keep from blowing over. Thanks for taking one for the team, Alex! I think her soul actually blew out of her body at one point. I'm so glad it made its way back to her.
Another funny thing about this photo: The beautiful flowers you see in the foreground...are not real. Just being honest here! We had just been shooting photos for The Pioneer Woman summer apparel collection, and since it's been a cool April, we don't have any flowers yet. So lest you think I am spending my days tootling around my garden, just casually cutting perfect stems for assorted vases on my front porch...yeah. Not happening. Not even close.
I should also be honest that during this photo shoot, this turquoise vase you see blew off its stand and shattered on the porch. We had a heavy rock sitting in the middle of the fake flowers trying to weight it down...but I guess the heavy rock wasn't heavy enough! 😂
Why is my life so chaotic?
Anyway, onto the subject of this post, I have a poll below. Look closely at the photo of Ladd without his cowboy hat, then weigh in with your opinion.
(Ahhh, I just love a man covered in dust...)
I’m a desperate housewife, I live in the country, and I’m obsessed with butter, Basset Hounds, and Ethel Merman. Welcome to my frontier!
