Wet Dogs

Last week my daughter and her beau came visiting, they brought their dog. Lela is a wonderful 3 yr old lab mix who loves to visit our place. Lots of room to run and close by pastures with great heaping piles of cow manure that just must be rolled in. Her owners got to clean her up before the 3 hour ride home in the car.

 No one seems to happy about starting this job.

"

 "Why am I tied up all of a sudden?"

Eventually though Lela is clean and smelling like roses instead of the stuff that makes roses grow better.

Faces and Places #1

Some happy folks from our trip down to Columbus Kansas this morning for the parade.

"Did you see what I saw? " Said the couple behind us.

"I'm sure he went that way"

 "I guess thats the end"

 

Last day of September.

Just a beautiful early fall day here in SE KS. I finally spent some money on a new lens, telephoto you know. I had to try it out after supper.

The golden rod is full of busy beetles.

It is really lit up this time of year.

Our World Tuesday; The Dewey Hotel

The Dewey Hotel located guess where? Dewey Oklahoma. Dewey at one time hosted one of the worlds largest Roundups (rodeo). The hotel was built by a gentlemen who the city of Bartlesville is named after. Its a wonderful three story place that takes you back to the old west.

The first floor has the restored office and kitchen, dining room, upstairs on the second floor are the first set small rooms guests stayed in. The wood floor creeks as you walk down the long hallway past the numbered doors.

 The third floor is where the men stayed, cowboys, rodeo stars and cattlemen. There was a private staircase out back that led up to this floor, and a gambling room. You could almost smell the cigars and whiskey from days gone bye.
