Duchess of Weaselskin

Happy End of April and beginning of May this week! We have been working towards the end of April on our veggie and herb garden here in southwest Colorado mountains. The photo on the left is some wild mountain strawberries that we planted in a huge pot last year that have began to bloom again this spring. They usually are a bit smaller than the strawberries you buy in the grocery store and farmers markets.

NW Okie's Corner

Happy May Day as April 2012 ends on this Monday evening! Most citizens in the United States probably think May Day is another rite of Spring. BUT . . . What and How is May Day celebrated around the World? We found this little poem for May Day Workers online by Walter Crane, The Workers' Maypole, 1894

. . . Let the winds lift your banners from far lands
With a message of strife and of hope:
Raise the Maypole aloft with its garlands
That gathers your cause in its scope....

Tidbits of May 1896 Langston City Herald

I love reading old newspapers to find out what life was about back in the "Old Days." According to The Langston City Herald, 16 May 1896, which was published from 1891 through 1902, we found a few interesting little tidbits worth sharing and reading. Have you ever heard that the best time to plant alfalfa, as proved by Payne county, was on May 1?

Grandpa's Model T Torpedo Roadster of 1912

[Click images to view larger images of Grandpa Bill McGill and his 1912 Model T Torpedo Roadster.]

Whoever was taking the picture may have been looking towards the southeast to catch the "Castle on the Hill" in the background. If someone else has a better description of the composition, I would love to hear from you via comment or email. What about the image in the shiny gas tank? I can see grandpa's image, but what is the white image? Is it a lady in white with umbrella? Flowers? Can not quite make the white image out.
