Duchess' Corner

NW Okie has been rummaging through this Duchess pug's younger years and found this picture of Sadie and myself when Sadie was just a "puppy." Sadie grown-up doesn't tag at my leash anymore as she did in this photo. I have gotten her broke of that and under my thumb ... NOW!

All day Sunday, July 26, 2009, we had thunder and hard rain in SW Colorado that dropped a quarter of an inch of rain in our rain gauge and cooled things off quite a bit. Friday of last week we also had some thunder clouds roll over knocking out our DSL connection, but not our phone for a couple of hours.

This Duchess Pug cringes at the noise the thunder makes and tends to curl up under a bed or next to NW Okie in the recliner. The rain came down so thick and hard that our DirecTV satellite signal box had to reset a few times after loosing its transmission in the Southwest mountains of the San Juan and LaPlatta mountains.

NW Okie has picked over a dozen "Early Girl" tomatoes from her patio, potted plant in the last week or so. This Pug does not no for sure, but is told by NW Okie that there is nothing like a homegrown tomato for its sweet, acidic flavor. The store tomatoes just don't have that flavor.

As July 2009 winds down this week, that means in a few weeks Waynoka and Freedom, Oklahoma will be having their annual stampede and Old Cowhand Reunions and rodeos around the first few weeks in August. Mark you calendars and be one of those old and young cowhands swarming into these two northwest Oklahoma communities for some western fun and rodeo days. McGill Sisters and The OkieLegacy just got their full-page AD submitted to the Freedom 2009 Rodeo Program this week.
