Idabel, OK

The New Library at Idabel Oklahoma is going to be such an improvement over the current one.  Located next to the City offices on East Main Street.

Great progress has been made as the embedded street scene of the pad prior to construction illustrates below. Grand opening should be coming up soon. The current library is a little more than a block away.. it may take a while to move all of those books!

This post contains some typical street photos of Brown Addition. The photos were taken on a rainy day...It seems we've had a lot of rain this month... waiting for a sunshiny day to take photos has not worked very well! Also I wanted to give you a general idea of Brown Addition and at the same time respect home owners in the area.

We've had so much rain during the last 30 days.

It is the wettest September that I remember in some time in McCurtain and Choctaw Counties in Southeast Oklahoma.

In fact it's been a wet July and August too.

Usually during those months our grass suffers but not this year.

The unusually high moisture content has given us...

FOGGY MORNINGS on the farm.

I've been reminded of some of those old London movies.

.

Our average rainfall is approximately 50 inches per year in Idabel (the extreme southeast corner of Oklahoma) Extreme Southeast being about 20 miles from Arkansas and 20 miles from Texas.

So far, the year 2009 is ranked about the 50th wettest year during the period that records have been kept, 1895 - 2009.

The month of July was the 27th wettest July for that same time keeping period.
