Yes we do!! Thanks Steve:)

hedgie said...

Didn't catch enough on the scanner to know what's going on, but sounds like they have dispatched something to NCTC (?Fire, ambulance?), but sounded like they canceled a Washington or Frederick Co. unit.....hmmmm. Hope nothing serious.

Brought that over from old thread.

ceil said...

Loretta sorry to hear about Sienna. Sometimes we get signs from above.

NatureNut said...

Didn't know there was a new WET thread. Put my white bird on blog.

Maybe I'll finally get a chance to work on pics this weekend.Gotta do Meerkats. To my surprise, daughter told me that when she saw last show, Aug. 29, had tag saying "Last Show of Series"!!!!Boo
It was kinda depressing sometimes.
Hubby wouldn't watch it--didn't like the violence.

MITS said...

Thanks for the new rainy thread, Steve

MITS said...

Megan, thanks for the heads up.....Loretta, what a wonderful sign:)

hedgie said...

Loretta, that is an inspiration!
Glad you are coming in Oct. Lead Bob, ok??
Haven't heard anything else about NCTC, but Jefferson Co. not completely digital, so miss alot of their calls.

ceil said...

Hope all is okay at NCTC.

Mema Jo said...

New Thread is like a little bit of Fresh Air! Thanks, Steve.
Margie is off to Mass - Hedgie let us know what you hear on NCTC....

Loretta - the white DOVE is beautiful!

Panda B-day party & cub update

hedgie said...

Hope so, too, Ceil!
Power line just went down across a road in that county. Their 911 center apparently is now on generator.

Mema Jo said...

Rain stopped here for the moment
It has gotten really bright...
Maybe we are out of it now...

ceil said...

Jo I don't think so. Rain had stopped here and then it came down in buckets. Wind is picking up. Getting ready for Mass I hope.

Loretta things that happen like that. I have always felt is from God. For instance: At my work their was a chapel. Several times a day I would be in that chapel. Especially after visiting with my father on my breaks. My father was in the hospital where I worked. One day a bird was inside the chapel on a beam. I watched the bird. All of a sudden it flew up and was no where to be seen. I knew right then my Dad had just past away. As I was walking fastly up the hall. A nurse came towards me. Stopping me and started to say something. I said, "I know my father just past away." She said, "Who told you". I said, "God did".

Mema Jo said...

Yes - umbrella weather....

Eagle at BWO

MITS said...

wet eagle:)

Wind blown eagle

NatureNut said...

Dana, what a spiritual story.
Neighbor, whose Mother was close to passing, said one of her pendulum clocks started chiming. It hadn't been working for a long time. She knew her Mother was gone, and she was right!

Few years ago, the wife of beloved gentleman who worked at Park part time, passed away one evening of a heart attack. The next weekend (a Sunday) after her funeral, THE WHITE BIRD was at our house for the first time! I told our friend, Charlie, that I thought it was a message from his Edith. He agreed it WAS Edith!

ceil said...

I better get off to Mass.

MITS said...

he'll dry fast then:)

MITS said...

later Ceil:)...

wvgal_dana said...

That's another one Loretta .. HE is always there never leaves us.

Ceil surely is wind blown lol

wvgal_dana said...

Oh just realized time .. need to go fixing a special shrimp dish for hubby. ( : He loves his shrimp.

Lolly said...

Hi all! Sounds like most of you are have plenty of rain today. Bright sunshine here! A beautiful day...started out in the 60's, just wonderful!

Jacob's birthday cake is baked and decorated. It's Tigger! I am tired! Made him a card last night, now I need to go wrap his presents.

Sure would like to hear from Candy, but she might be without electricity.

Costume Lady said...

I have an inspirational story also. My Dad died in November of 2001 and in February of 2002, in honor of his birthday, we had a spaghetti dinner (his very favorite: he was one half Italian). As we gathered around the table, I asked the blessing, and just as I had finished and everyone said "Amen", the grandfather clock which hadn't worked for many years began to chime. It was his favorite piece of furniture.

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, I have been away for a few days and don't know if anyone has mentioned the Falling Waters Campground to you. I noticed several others, but not this one. It is, I believe, the closest to Shepherdstown. Very nice!

hedgie said...

Rain has stopped here. Glad to see the rainbow has left our nest!!
Such wonderful stories of faith and inspiration, gals! Thanks.
Dana, where did you work and what did you do??

LOL, YES YOU DO, LOLLY!

Costume Lady said...

Not familiar with Port Aransas, Lolly, where would that be?

Lolly said...

Port Aransas is near Corpus Christi. We usually go to Padre Island (I am originally from down that way). We went to Galveston earlier, going to try a new place this trip.

NatureNut said...

Gonna go eat rest of my crab legs.Yum BBL

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Okay, here is the new do!

T-Bird said...

How are you Lynn we had a little rain last night and some wind but not bad.

wvgal_dana said...

Jo you have mail

Mema Jo said...

Got the mail.

I sure do like the real new do!

You freaked me out with that first pic...

Sharon sent me the pic of tonight's visit, Magpie.

MITS said...

but I did love her pearly whites, JO

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon those 2 pics didn't do you justice. Glad you put your true picture on....nice hair cut. ( :

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks for the comments on the new do! My friend, Garry Viar, owns Sedona in Lynchburg, Virginia and he was the artist of the day. I sat down in the chair this morning and told him that he had a miracle to work, that my hair was a mess, and he said, yes it is! I had the really long shampoo that was absolutely wonderful, then the hot towel on my face. I was so relaxed!

Mema Jo said...

LOVE THE MEERKATS!

So wish Suzanne could view them - she is a Fri Night Meerkat fan...

hedgie said...

Sharon, love the new style!! Looks like it will be easy to take care of...and it makes you look younger!

Mema Jo said...

I will BBL

hedgie said...

Thelma, good here; a substantial rainfall, but not damaging!
You headed home tomorrow?

hedgie said...

Still wishing Candy would check in to let us know she's alright.
Megan, did you get the basement sucked dry? Maybe you should put in a sump pump!!

hedgie said...

Sissy, how is Tom's back today? Weather probably didn't help at all, did it?

T-Bird said...

Lynn: Headed back to Bedford in the morning. You sure are right about the rain-I cannot believe how green the grass has gotten in just these last couple of days.
Hope you and all the eagle momsters and dadsters have a great night. Good night all-see ya in the morning light.

wvgal_dana said...

We just had our grass mowed Wed. with all this rain. It will be ready before the week is up. That is if it doesn't start raining again.

MITS said...

just saw the racoons at the salt lick in PA

Mema Jo said...

Now the raccoon party is starting..

MITS said...

cute little buggers

MITS said...

beautiful crescent moon out tonight

hedgie said...

Lost my PA woods link! It was there yesterday, but now can't find it....please, someone, send it to me! TY.
Good night, T-bird.

wvgal_dana said...

Really didn't have PA up have to try it..ty

hedgie said...

Thanks, Lolly--got it! Raccoons...as fat as mine are!!!
That's okay, Dana...TY.

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie did you hear anymore about the call you heard over the scanner for the area of NCTC?

floralgirl said...

Yes, Moon is very pretty tonight, isn't it.. has an orange tinge to it right now.
We got 3" of rain here today:)

MITS said...

means it will be warm tomorrow, Megan..good news for your rain:)

MITS said...

Good night everyone...WAKE UP MASON!

floralgirl said...

Nite Mits..

Light a Candle for Mason


One of Mason's friends said:
...there was a great turnout in the rain for the West Virginia State BBQ & Bluegrass festival today (and tomorrow) in Hedgesville.

Lynn is that where you are going tomorrow?

deb said...

Good evening, everyone. I should probably say good night, everyone. We had a nice steady rain today, nothing heavy like you all had, but needed moisture. I hope you all dry out tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Deb - I was thinking you would pop in here soon... Yepper I am ready to say Good Night very soon.

Mema Jo said...

Liberty & Belle were sighted at the nest right before dark this evening.

deb said...

I saw that, sorry I missed them. I did get to see an eagle fly over the river today, so that kind of made up for it. Our little osprey are starting to leave the hack box area. We also have to look closely at the osprey flying around as the migraters from up north are arriving.

Mema Jo said...

I think one of the migrating osprey was at the BW platform the other day.

hedgie said...

Yes, Jo, that's the place! WHere did you hear about the turnout?

deb said...

We were watching an osprey fishing the other day and assumed it was one of ours. We couldn't see any wing color on it, but just figured it had worn off. When I got home, I pulled up the picture and couldn't find any leg bands. I couldn't wait to tell everyone, it was an adult osprey. The feathers were all brown, no white on the tips. We have seen a couple more now. (Guess it could be the same one we see over and over again)

hedgie said...

Beep Beep, Beep Beep...alarm clock going off for Margy! Wake up, snoozing panda...time to get ready for work!

Mema Jo said...

Lynn- On the Caring Bridge Guest Book


Guest Book

Mema Jo said...

Deb - couldn't it just be adults that are migrating and just passing through....

deb said...

Yes, it is a migrating adult, just don't know if it is more than one or not.

Mema Jo said...

Calling it a day......

Good Night!
Peace to you and yours
Pleasant dreams and restful sleep
Prayers for all our needs being said

Come Home Mason

hedgie said...

Have been reading the journal, but never checked out the Guest Book. Thanks, Jo.
Night, Deb! Catch you tomorrow!
Beautiful dawn at Finney's!
Sleep well, all. Peace to our world.

magpie said...

HEDGIE: You're right, I hit the snooze button as often as I could..just checked a few sites, looks frosty at Finney Land Nest, all foggy -
no birds at the Water nest yet - and OUR nest looks like something out of a fairy tale.

Yup- gotta sign off, glad to hear the Blue Grass fest was a hit despite the rain !

Take Care Everyone, got you all in my prayers.

xoxo

deb said...

Night everyone.

Costume Lady said...

Before I say Goodnight, I would like to say that I hope the remarks made by me earlier this evening, were taken by you all in the spirit in which it was meant. I would NEVER hurt anyone, especially my friends on here, intentionally. I love you all, like sisters.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL AND FOR FORGIVENESS
Mason...we are still waiting on you to wake up. We are your new friends.

movin said...

I agree, Sharon. I like your new "do."

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.

GOOD SUNDAY TO YOU.

T-Bird said...

good Sunday morning all-can't tell if we may have an eagle sleeping in the nest or not????

T-Bird said...

I think I see a white head at 12 o'clock-not quite sure though.

T-Bird said...

Nope-I'm about sure now, it was just a reflection or a shadow.
:( However, we have an eagle that just came in the middle of the nest. :)

T-Bird said...

gone just that quick

T-Bird said...

Both Belle and Liberty are back-beautiful sight to see eagles making a home for the family to come.

T-Bird said...

Ofcourse they are a family in and of themselves! Though they do have such a purpose.

T-Bird said...

Ya think they ever get tired of being parent?

T-Bird said...

Gone

T-Bird said...

Back again-I guess I don't have to give a blow by blow huh? Nobody appears to be on the blog. LOL

T-Bird said...

I thought we had a visitor in the nest-which I'm sure wouldn't be possible without a big'ole fight-but it is just the way the upcoming sun is reflecting on Belle or Liberty. I still can not tell which is which. Maybe on day, huh!?

T-Bird said...

I sure would love to have sound!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning T-bird. A visitor would not be welcomed at the nest, that is for sure!

ceil said...

Good morning Thelma and Sharon. Thelma I cannot tell them apart unless they are side by side.

ceil said...

Eagle at BWO

ceil said...

Off to get some breakfast

T-Bird said...

Hope everyone has a good day-I'm off to Bedford soon. Later

MITS said...

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE.MASON wake up a beautiful day today:)

ceil said...

Sad news on the BWO osprey site. Moray one of the two young osprey in Scotland has been lost. They have been having bad weather and the migration from Scotland to Africa is taking a toll.

MITS said...

thanks, for the update, Ceil:(
