Ann Oakley

I have been called Annie Oakley since childhood.for two reasons: first no one could keep shoes on my feet. In the summer, the soles would quickly harden and I ran barefoot most days. In the winter I still went bare foot in the snow until February when the soles were sufficiently softened to feel the cold..second, being a tomboy I carried a slingshot and few boys would pit their prized marbles or steelies against my aim.

As I got older moccasins replaced the bare feet and a gun the slingshot. The gun was necessary as one of my jobs was to go collect strays from the summer graze..I never shot an animal as I was in their home and the gun served to spook, not kill..in the basin area where the cattle were it was mostly cougar, bobcat, rattle snakes. When I met the Yorkshire man with the actual name Oakley, it became a joke then the whole story being, I’m actually related to Annie Oakley...and now the horse and gun have been replaced by impossible greens of Wales . I sometimes miss the spring and August thunderstorms and camping out in the desert under stars that seemed never ending and close enough to reach out and touch. But this land has its own beauty...
