Duchess & Sadie's Spring Domain

Sadie and I join you on this 3rd day of May from SW Colorado in the higher elevations of the San Juan mountains, North of Bayfield, Colorado, where we awoke to a thin cover of snow on the ground Sunday morning. They say the first half of this week should see temperatures in the 60's degrees around here during the day.

We hope your first week of May is good for you in your neck of the woods. It is still a bit on the chilly side for May flowers, but usually this is the time to put out those hummingbird feeders, isn't it?

We are asking if you all got one copy of The OkieLegacy Ezine last and this week?

We know of one person that did not receive his subscribed copy last week, but that was our "Bad." It seems there was a typo in his email submitted to our mailing list of subscribers. That has been corrected and fixed, though. If someone is having trouble receiving their subscription, please let us know. Thanks!

This week we bring you a group of old cast iron toys that NW Okie picked up at a moving sale this Saturday, May Day, 2010, in Bayfield, Colorado.

We asked around to some of our network connections, "How to preserve, clean these old rusty cast iron toys. Thanks to those who gave us advice. The consensus was, "To leave as is! If you decide to clean them someday, use a liquid/gel rust remover, not a wire brush."

Brian Wilson Notified us that he has some Old Oklahoma newspapers, old documents dating back to 1910 thru 1930. Brian is looking for someone who buys old newspapers & paperwork. For more information on Brian's old papers, see Old Oklahoma Papers in the features below.

We also bring you some history of the Great Depression and Drought that contributed to the Dust Bowl Days of 1930's.

I am going to sign-off now and curl up beside my NW Okie while she puts the finishes touches on this week's OkieLegacy Ezine. One reason is because every once in awhile she (NW Okie) reaches over, gently rubs and scratches me behind the ears. Aaaaahhhhhh! It is a Dog's life, isn't it!

Good Night and Good Luck!
