A wonderful on-the-scene update from historical/honorary Group Three member MWF President Tim “Stretch” Aldrich and his beautiful bride Carol:
Hi Ron and Kathy! Your weather story speaks of a much more normal year in 2012 than we had in 2011. I tend to believe the weather mess was a direct result of the Legislative Boondoggles of 2011 with a little help from the snow gods. I just got a message from Wayne Brewster over in Helena and he and Lil have already done their spring chores around their place and are getting what he calls saddle time and enjoying the horses. Here, I have already seen the western bluebirds checking out their apartment in the field behind the house, and the robins, finches and other "little brown jobs" (LBJ's), as a good friend calls the little tweeters that are not easily identified by folks like me. I suspect I will be seeing the Columbian Ground Squirrels showing up any day since the ground is no longer frozen. I had a herd of night crawlers on the driveway yesterday morning after a brief warm rain, so I am declaring that spring is here for the moment and will be a "come and go" visitor for the next month. It is time to think fishing here, and I hope to be indulging in some of that sport very soon. I hope you stay high and dry during the rainy spells; we look forward to see you you both in the not too distant future. tim and carol
