Travels With Duchess

Last Sunday Duchess and this NW Okie headed East from SW Colorado to NW Oklahoma -- leaving the cool, mountain climate behind us for a few weeks. Some of the sights we left behind in Colorado were the snow-capped mountains. We did view a few herds of antelope grazing in the early morning hours east of Raton, New Mexico along hwy 64 towards Clayton. We reached our NW Oklahoma destination Monday mid-afternoon. AND... Our eyes have been itchy,watery ever since we arrived in Oklahoma.

Except Thursday evening and Friday's thundershowers, it has been dry for awhile. Traveling from here to the central part of the state you can see the farmer's wheat fields being cut.... AND NOT for havesting the grains! It's being cut and baled for hay. They tell me the weevils and the late frost have been bad on the wheat this year.

We hope all you mother's out there had a great mothers day. The Texas Techie (a.k.a.
