Cinco De Mayo Weather

This Saturday, May 5, 2007, in the early hours of the morning we awoke to a cloudy, chilly day that shortly turned to rain, graupel, snow, back to graupel and then snow again as it blocked the view of the mountains at times here in the valley south of Bayfield, Colorado.

The Sunshine finally broke through the clouds about 10:51 a.m., Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), but the clouds remained to continue this on again - off again chilly, May weekend weather.

It can not seem to make up it's mind as it continues with the chilly, May weather on this Cinco De Mayo weekend of May, 2007. AND... we are expecting freezing temperatures Saturday and Sunday evening around here this weekend.

My garden plants are keeping warm, safe in the greenhouse. The hummingbirds have been visiting the feeders this week that got hung last weekend. Almost forgot... the irrigation canals began their filling, flowing from mountain reservoirs this week to the valley below. Is it Spring or Winter? Will my garden vegetables come out from the greenhouse?

CNN-TV has been talking, showing the 75% devastation caused by a tornado Friday evening, May 4, 2007, in Greensburg, Kansas, located between Dodge City and Coldwater, Kansas.

Another memory jogger... Someone sent us some information concerning "The Butterfly Kid," but it did not really tell us how he got his name. If anyone there in the Shawnee, Oklahoma area knows the story of how the infamous "Butterfly Kid" got his name, please send us the story. Thanks again for helping us preserve our Oklahoma heritage!
