Another HOT, DRY week in NW Oklahoma! How HOT was it? The latter part of this week reached to 99 or so degrees with hardly a breeze until evening. This Pug writer has had to stay inside with the air-conditioning most of the time while Oakie melted outside. AND... it's only the mid-May! I told Oakie that I'm ready to head back towards the COOL mountains of SW Colorado, but she tells me that it may be another week before our return to the mountains. (pant... pant... pant... pant!)

We are told that the Weaselskin, Vallecito and the other creeks in SW Colorado are ripping along white-cap style. The Pine River is roaring. They have been letting a lot of water out of the reservoir so Vallecito is really low. The heat may be running high in SW Colorado, as well. They have got 95 degrees forecast for Durango Friday. Which is way too hot... way too early.

Remember a few weeks ago that we mentioned our mare, Cindy, had a 2005 colt? Well! It was a false alarm! That wasn't our mare. It was Clark's mare that had the colt. The Clark's tried to give it to us, but our honest nature told them it wasn't our Cindy! It will probably another couple of week's before our Cindy has her 2005 colt.

Oakie has been busy helping her friends, Bud & Lovina Clark, get ready for their farm equipment auction this weekend, Saturday, May 21st, 10:00 a.m. The auction company that is doing Clark's auction is also online - Lippard Auctions. Here is the link to Clark's Auction Flyer. If you are out and about in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma this Saturday, May 21st, 2005, take a detour off of hwy 64 onto the Dacoma Road, head South about 4 miles, then turn back East about 1.5 miles. OR... just follow the yellow auction signs with red printing!

With this Pug shut-inside and Oakie running errands for Clarks, we didn't get much pictures to share this week. Perhaps when things get settled down around here, we can remedy that situation a bit. For now... we are going to cut this short and send out emails on Friday instead of Saturday, because of the Auction this weekend.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
