The Summer of 2008

Well! We made it through to the 3/4 mark of June, 2008 and into the beginning of the Summer of 2008.

We hear from Northwest Oklahoma folks that they had about 7 inches of rain around the Woods County area this past week and wheat harvest is still underway again.

This weekend we take you back to 1945 and just after WWII when the Flying Farmers of Oklahoma were about to go National and join the NAA (National Aeronautic Association). OR ... was it the other way around?

Anyway, Gene McGill had a big hand in organizing the Flying Farmers back then -- being a farmer/rancher who used his light aircraft on his ranch 8 miles North of Waynoka, Oklahoma along SH14 and during his wheat harvesting and coyote hunting days back then.

We also did some browsing through the online archives of The Oklahoman and found some more information on the Woods County Triplets we spoke of last week. AND... We have some more Alva square memories in the Mailbag section below.

It has been warming into the mid-80's and dry in the valley of SW Colorado this week. It is almost cooler to sit out under a shade tree than be inside the adobe on this first day of Summer 2008. As our SW Colorado gas prices go: Bayfield, Colorado had a listed price Saturday of $4.13.9 for regular. You all living and driving in Oklahoma have it easy compared to the price of gas in Colorado and other places.

I have three hummingbird feeders this Spring/Summer in SW Colorado that have been keeping me busy making sweet nectar and refilling the feeders about every other day. I need to go refill a couple of them now and make another batch of hummingbird juice this afternoon, Sunday, June 22, 2008.

You all take care and keep those row boats handy in Missouri, Illinois and along the Mississippi River. We all are thinking of you! You are not alone!
