Duchess of Weaselskin

Have you ever wondered what makes "golden ponds?" Could it be the Fall of the Golden Aspen leaves found floating on top as seen in the photo on the left at Weaselskin pond, in the San Juan mountains at the north end of Vallecito Reservoir, Southwest Colorado? You can view more of the Fall colors around Vallecito on our Google+ site or our Picasa Web Album 2011 Fall Colors of SW Colorado!

Our favorite thing to do on a gorgeous, sunny, slightly breezy Sunday afternoons in the southwest Colorado Rockies during the Fall changing of the colors is stretch out in the hammock and look to sky towards the tops of the aspen trees. Watching the leaves of the aspens spotlighted by the sunlight, being released in the breeze and drifting slowly to the ground. You can almost get hypnotized and dose off, forgetting all your worries. NW Okie did!

So what is news out in your neck of the woods? We hear Oklahoma got some much needed rain that helped green up pastures, but farm and stock ponds need much more rain. Maybe Oklahoma needs a good Indian rain dance, huh? Just joking!

NW Okie is looking for a history book of Rhea County, Tennessee to help in her ancestry search for her paternal ancestry that settled in that area. Does anyone know where we can purchase or get a copy of The History of Rhea County Tennessee?
