Oklahoma,
Where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain
And the wavin’ wheat
Can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself!

If you really want to find a job on a website, I'd recommend not starting here. With the way upwork has changed its system, you're not going to find anything and are going to be pushed to spend money fo the chance of getting "something". It's like a big slot machine, but the prize is they get to take more money from you with fees.
