Spring Debut & Other Things

By mid-week the Official Calendar Spring made its debut with rainy, chilly weather here in the valley south of Bayfield, Colorado that totaled an inch since yesterday. AND... it was foggy, cloudy this Saturday morning when Duchess woke me up early to do my chores in the falling mist.

I noticed when I looked west and north towards the mountain peaks yesterday, it looked as if the peaks received a hint of fresh snow during the wet, chilly front that passed through on the first day of Spring.

AND... Let us not forget the herds of deer that come down from the mountains to graze in our front pasture (yard). The photo to the left was a digital taken around dusk earlier this week with the nightshot setting on my camera. That is why it is dark. These last few years have seen some strange weather changes! How does that affect the wildlife? Or does it?

This Friday, March 23 was an important MCGILL family date. Our Grandpa Wm. "Bill" Jacob McGill and Grandma Constance Estella Warwick were united in marriage, in Ashley, Oklahoma on this date in the Spring of 1910, at the ages of 29 and 28 years, respectively. They were married for 34 years and divorced July, 1944. Grandpa Bill remarried in the early fifties, but Grandma remained a single boss lady of the farm/ranch manor. Grandpa Photo Legacy.

We have an inquiry that we are helping another lady to find if The Bank of Nashville, (a.k.a. Farmers and Merchants Bank), Jct. US 64 & Main, in Nash, Oklahoma was still standing? We understand it is/was listed on the National Register of Historical places. But we think it was razed with nothing remaining that even remotely looks like an architectural significance of the building. We are trying to find the name of the big corporation who built a huge plant (or building) near Nash (Oklahoma) recently. AND... What is/was the name of the president of the bank in Nash?
