Well it has been a rather eventful but somewhat frustrating day in my world. Then I spent the evening watching dog stuff on HGTV which was a nice escape from all the other frustrating stuff LOL. Supposed to be a beautiufl day tomorrow, and tomorrow night I am going to a near by park with a friend to see a play or Ballet, probalby a combination thing. I am looking really forward to all of that.

Wishing you all a good night's sleep. i will bLOG at ya tomorrow, about 2 hours more than I did today LOL.

Good Nite all

Not a cheer leader but was on the Queens Court at the prom, and my b/f was number 31 on the Varsity football team..but they played like they needed some cheerin ...

floralgirl said...

Yes,nite all-early morning for me tomorrow-have to go to sleep now so I don't have to hear husband whining about the Redskin's awful game.Just saw Joe Gibbs on Tv after game-boy was he p'd off.Hear thuder,maybe it will bring some rain with it-

belle_wv said...

Good night all and sweet dreams, sorry I missed most of your 'exits' while I was 'showering' my sinuses... now I am going to read til the words don't make sense anymore ... see y'all in the morning time...

glo said...

Good morning all. Hoping everyone is heading for a very beautiful day. I don't have any frustrating plans for today LOL. Think I'll look forward to a Sabbath's rest.

MITS said...

Good Morning All...Tai Shan is doing his balancing act on the downed tree branch, I think he is actually barking every now and then, getting a deeper bark. The only other thing I hate besides pre-season, football is coaches and players, who whine about a loss. Give me a break, it does not mean a thing. Just a big "ole" publicity chance to make you believe how tough they are and are going to be...as long as these players of today get the big bucks, they do not care where they play, and very little about the fans who are paying big bucks to watch them.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning all. Overslept this morning. Supposed to start work at 8 a.m. and didn't wake up until 8:15. Thank God it takes me 2 seconds to get from bed to work.

Mits, I am with you on the football thing. Just shut up and take your millions home and whine there.

Nilla, Queen's court, impressive and a football player boyfriend. The Stud and the Princess. We could make a movie of that.

Going back to work now. Need to make up for time lost!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLET IN BRANCH ABOVE NEST IN MAINE.

Parent at BW nest.

Mei asleep in the grotto and Tai is up a tree.

belle_wv said...

Good morning everyone,

More sunshine here. Hope everyone had a good night and is ready to make today a great one...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning, Belle, how is the schnaz this morning?

belle_wv said...

Mits and Sharon, I agree with the 'hush up and play for your millions' thought. Tickets to football games are unreal! I can't even IMAGINE spending the money for tickets to go see a game. I enjoy football, for sure, but ghesh, hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a few hours? Not to mention prices for the food and such. I can't believe people pay. Then there's the money they make from advertisements. And our police and fire fighters who REALLY risk their lives every day...

OK done with that, nothing I can do to change it, so I will just move on...

MITS said...

Now that is why they call you eagle-eye, SHARON, completely missed him in that nest. I JUST LOVE THAT NEST, ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL CALM!!! Yes, Sharon, nothing makes my blood boil more, when these football or baseball or any sports figure whine about anything, with the money they are making, then go on the field and just go thru the motions. They should talk to my husband about work ethics.

belle_wv said...

Hi Sharon, mine's stuffy, how's yours? Seems to be moving down into my chest - sigh...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle, I am having a really hard time breathing this morning. Mine started in my chest, moved to my sinuses and now back to my chest and sinuses. You don't need to get sick on top of your surgery. That would really suck out loud!

Mits, I pulled up the Maine nest, did a quick scan and almost turned it back off when I spotted him. He is sitting there so still. It is so good to see an eaglet. Ospreys are okay but eagles are the bomb!!!

belle_wv said...

Work ethics for sure... yeah they have to keep their bodies in shape, but heck, I would be happy if that was part of my daily paid routine, to be healthy! Ghesh... sure they get broken bones and bruises and risk injury, but they have the BEST healthcare available within seconds and at no additional charge.... just wish the priorities would shift into a better balance in this country, actors and athletes are great sure, but ... ok I'm 'being haved' now - flowers, and feathers and haircuts... LOL

belle_wv said...

Mits, what does your hubby do?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle - And don't forget the wax!

belle_wv said...

I love that nest in ME - that's a place I could sit for hours and hours, too... just like the 'ole sycamore' such a feeling of serenity and grace there

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just wish that cam would stay up and not turn off after 2 minutes. My goodness, the work it takes to click on the play button over and over again. :):):)

belle_wv said...

Oh yeah - can't forget the wax... speaking of which.... anyone have any ideas on how I can shave my legs without bending forward??? Looks like I am going to have to get out long pants (or start getting the leg hairs corn rowed...) now there's a fashion fad we WON'T see on the NYC runways

belle_wv said...

Sharon, rest your weary clicker finger! I'll run and get you a splint and an icepack! Injury on the keyboard timeout.... go to commercial

belle_wv said...

Maybe we need to cart you into the locker room for an MRI - can't gamble with your clicker finger...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Belle, you could start a new trend. Maybe you could get your husband to shave your legs for you?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Eaglet gone, gone from Maine!

MITS said...

BELLE my husband is an accountant, has been with the same firm, although they have changed name several times, for 37 years. Still works as hard as the first day he walked into the firm.

MITS said...

Eaglet all gone, missed him leave while I was blogging.

MITS said...

Nope, wait I think he is just on a lower branch.

MITS said...

Looks foggy in Maine today.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

He flew down towards the water. Convenient place for a nest, don't ya think?

MITS said...

Yep, I'm seeing things, thought he was a little lower on the branch. Its a wonderful place for a nest. Our eagles have a good location also, close to the water.

belle_wv said...

Oh my - an accountant - more power to him... that is a tough job for sure. 37 years? Y'all don't look like your over 45 yourselves, he started work YOUNG!

Hmmm Sharon, hubby shavin my legs... that might lead to other things .... hmmm creativity might be required LOL - you know what they say - necessity is the best way to start something fun... LOL

MITS said...

Can't believe it, after watching the zoo cams for over a year, finally am seeing 2 orangutans playing on their ropes.

MITS said...

(((((HUGS))))) to you BELLE Don't know about me ,but hubby is ageing well.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

At CT nest, smurf bear has been moved to the middle of the nest. Wonder who they stole it from. Child is probably still crying over somebody stealing its bear!

MITS said...

You are always one step ahead of me SHARON Just saw the bear, LOL!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If I get 650, I want Nair.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Momma and 3 baby cardinals on my roof.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

One of the baby cardinals is getting a tinge of orange on his beak. Cute!

belle_wv said...

LOL Sharon, Nair or Veet? We tried the veet stuff - it doesn't smell quite as bad as Nair, to me, anyway... but didn't last any longer than shaving - so why bother....

belle_wv said...

BC cam still dark? They're not this far behind us in sunup are they? Dark down under in Brisbane... going to check out the cams Chrissy sent us

belle_wv said...

awww nest full of swallows is snoozing - they look so cozy even though they could fall out at any second LOL

belle_wv said...

ROFL - wish I could have Frapped that for Jo - one started wiggling around and the other one was biting at it saying quit yer wigglin - then first one did a poop shoot - good thing the other one got his beak out of the way!! ROFL

belle_wv said...

Cam 1 has some outside pics of looks like grouse forraging... so nice

belle_wv said...

oops not grouse I meant quail - way too small for grouse - sorry

cam 2 is so funny - 4 birds stuffed in that itty bitty nest... the second one from the left is so squished in you can barely even see his beak

MITS said...

No, BELLE BC is only 3 hours behind, I'm assuming that the cam is not working, some times does not come on til 7 or 8 their time.

belle_wv said...

LOL the swallows need to figure out how to fit in the nest like sardines -head to tail to head to tail to head to tail LOL they get so miffed with each other when one moves and jostles the others... wonder when they will be ready to fledge and roost elsewhere

belle_wv said...

Oh well too bad the BC cam is down - liked looking there too

MITS said...

Someone just flew up to them and they all opened their mouths together. LOL!! Looks like some sort of bird comedy act.

MITS said...

Just did it again, LOL!! Mom seems to feed the mean looking one first.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

What is the site with the birds?

belle_wv said...

I love watching their little mouths open...then the parent swoops in - like the early warning system

belle_wv said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sorry about the 666 Belle but thanks for the website. They are so cute!

MITS said...

Ok, Belle gave you the address, Sharon, its the site Chrissy gave to us one day this past week, even has a site with butterflys.

Mema Jo said...

Good 'very late' morning, Sharon,Mits & Belle. Sounds as though you are going thru all the cams! Going to seem like a long winter until the spring gets here & we have some new action in our sycamore tree. Already had early morning company today-grandson & great granddaughter stopped in to see me. Alexis is a very bright little 19 mo old. Loves to play make believe with the doll house & people. Best part is that she can say I love you and can blow kisses. Oh yes, then she does a high five.
The rain in this area didn't amount to a hill of beans! Really, really humid out there today. I have no plans for today other then stay inside & relax. I hope you two start to feel better with your noses. Stay healthy, Mits, or you won't be allowed near Maggie!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, that is a crowded little nest. Not even enough room for parent to get there to feed them. Saw one fly up there and immediately gone. Is that how they do it?

MITS said...

Good Morning , Jo, I'm going to start taking vitamins, so I don't get sick. Don't want to give Maggie anything bad.

belle_wv said...

That seems to be all there's room for Sharon, not sure if that is a typical size clutch hatch or not...but they sure are maxing out the capacity of that nest - it wiggles sometimes and I worry it will fall down

belle_wv said...

Morning Jo - sounds like you're having fun!

Mema Jo said...

When we don't get the rain & the grass dies - why do weeds keep on growing. Hubby is mowing the weeds! I went in on Denbury Farms & don't know why some of the cams won't start - I do have windows media player. Which cam are you watching?

Mema Jo said...

The blog is really starting to slow down when refreshing. I can't believe that we actually got it up to 1000+ the one time. Guess we'll get a new thread tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

LUNCH TIME BBL

belle_wv said...

teh denberry cam seems to be down :(

glo said...

My restful Sabbath Well lets see i have made 2 trips to the Marina, once with each dog. Enjoyed wonderful walks each time, but no eaglet fix today. saw and heard lots of pretty birds though. Lots fo people launching boats, sucha gorgeous day, which could add to why there were no eaglets LOL. Actually the gulls don't see to be aorund there this morning either, but the ducks are there.

Then I came home and have just finished mowing the back yard. I have a pretty good headache coming on, not sure what that's about...maybe too much leisure Think I will fix some lunch, find a nice movie and sack out for a while. Tonight is the Ballet program in the park. That hsould be really nice, and I will need a jacket the way it feels and sounds right now. TTYL

belle_wv said...

Glo sounds like a great day

belle_wv said...

Jo the cams went blank for me for awhile, too, but they're working again now

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Raining in Bluefield again.

belle_wv said...

Sharon,
Stand outside, get Andrew to do so too, and BLOW REALLLY hard north! We need that rain up HERE

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Sounds like a winner to me, Belle!

I have a baby cardinal out here now that has been eating out of the suet feeder. Has suet all over his beak. Looks so funny.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE, AND HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY (now, in case I never make it to the bottom of the thread today)....

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Wonder how the swallows practice their flying skills, certainly can't in that nest!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Hello, Jim. Glad you stopped by!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

We are really in need of an "I Love Sunday" thread!

movin said...

Good looking wedding picture, Sharon....

Everybody seems to be making some interesting changes to their photo displays...they look good too... don't think I have any I want to use at this time.

Jim

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Not a wedding picture, Jim. That is Andrew and his prom date, Brianna.

belle_wv said...

What a great looking couple Sharon.. Andrew is a handsome lookin man!

Hi Jim - glad you made it by for a visit today... I'm with you - can't think of any pictures to replace mine with...

belle_wv said...

belle_wv said...

Hm mm at this rate, even a 3 toed sloth could win - anyone find any cams for one of those? You could watch it for WEEKS to see anything happen
