GOOD MORNING NORMA AND SISSY AND ALL WHO MIGHT HAVE CHECKED IN ON THE OTHER PAGE! It is another beautiful day here on the Outer Banks as I set our nest up for the children to watch.

Still no computer at home, but did buy one. Waiting to see if the old one can be fixed first. Miss you all so much and Hidey is growing sooooo fast.

You all have a wonderful Tuesday!

normabyrd said...

Looks like breakfast at Norfolk. Hidey looks restless this morning!

Good morning Candy!! Good to see you this morning! Have a great day!

Norma, it is more like I take time off to work FROM watching and listening to birds!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Whole family is in the nest at NBG. Hidey is doing nestorations, foraging for some food!!

normabyrd said...

Can't wait for the sun to come up at Hornby this morning, new little bobble head for us to watch up close and personal!!

normabyrd said...

Was hoping DEB would have time for a good morning hello!-----REALLY MISS HER!!

deb said...

Here is my morning HELLO, Norma. Just read the blog and did e-mail. Now off to feed dogs and eat breakfast. Have a good day. LW could hatch today, day 37 for the first egg!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

We were just missing you Deb!! How is it going?

deb said...

Yesterday was just paperwork stuff, today will hopefully be more interesting.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN'---DEB!---WOW!---You seem to be on the ball this am!---ho!Have a GREAT DAY DEB!----

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Folks already lining up around the world to watch the sunrise at Hornby today...be there LOL.

Candy Open that box and give hubby the old broken one Enjoy your day. I am off to coffee and dog treats very soon. My little buddy ahs gone blnd now on me and we are both adjusting to that. He knows he is loved and enjoys his food. Not sure what else to do though tough times.

Not sure any of you saw them but I did post some nice photos on the For the Love of Eagles BLOG yesterday if you are interested. Also a couple of links to some awesome shots taken by Norolk Eagle Poperazi...just follow my name and choose the For the Love of Eagles link.

normabyrd said...

i think i was a bit over anxious to wish deb a wonderful day---seemed to trip over my words---ho!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' GLO!---SORRY about your little BUDDY!----You just love him as much as you can -- remember now you are the 'guide dog'----Many Hugs!!

fauxfaye said...

Is this eaglet okay? He hasn't seemed to act the same yesterday or today - very lethargic. Wouldn't eat what the parents offered to him yesterday... just wondering if anyone knows or noticed a difference.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Faye, I think Hidey is just fine! The heat makes them not as active but she has been up and foraging around the nest, scoping out the scene this morning!

deb said...

I am off, tonight is dinner in Yankton. I'll try and drop in at lunch time! I should mow the front yard, will see. At least it is supposed to get out of the 40's today.

BBL

normabyrd said...

HH Poor MOM!!---Those handsome lil' chicks are so hard to see--They blend in so well with the nest!!----Did see 2 up close!!----CUTIES!!

normabyrd said...

DEB!---We are looking forward to getting out of the 90s----Terrible outside yesterday!!----ALL FLYING INSECTS were flying & bombing! ho!
ENJOY your day!!!

fauxfaye said...

Thanks, Sissy. I am a worrywort! Hidey is standing on the edge now and looking at her world, so I feel better. She was way more active on Saturday and Sunday, so I didn't know. It was really windy up there yesterday too.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' FAYE--WELCOME!---She/he seems fine to me---The weather as been so DARN hot & she up there with out an umbrella---ho!----

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Faye, I think Hidey is ok. The heat wears them out a little but I saw her eating more than once yesterday. Besides the wingersizing they do, pretty much all they do is sleep, eat and do poop shoots, much like any baby! :)

Oh yeah, and practice the perching skills!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Faye, one year we talked about putting a water-misting fan at the nest to cool them off. That is when we had 3 babies. Somebody came on here and said it was not appropriate to mess with nature like that. DUH - like we would climb the tree and put a fan in the nest! It was just fun trying to come up with silly little solutions! We talked of throwing fish in the nest, breaking out the water hose, just stuff like that. Glad you are here. Please stay with us!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MY LITTLE INDIGO BUNTING HAS ARRIVED. I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I thought Hidey was going to mantle there for a minute! :)

Mits said...

dawn has arrived at HI

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MITS & SHARON!----weather is going to get cooler with rain---maybe that will cool off the 'lil' one!!----Isn't she a 'TRIP'!!!--She seems to eat all day!!

normabyrd said...

WHOA! SHARON----I have never seen an INDGO BUNTING!!!---send a pic!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Norma, they are so beautiful. Now I didn't take this pic but this is what they look like!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Looks like Momma came to keep Hidey company. Did she bring breakfast?

normabyrd said...

Thanks SHARON!-----one word!---AWESOME!!!----I have all kind of birds---but have never had a bluebird either!!---DANA thinks I may have my boxes in the wrong places!!!

normabyrd said...

I have work out class this am----later---

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Wish they would get off of that baby so I could see it at HI!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' RED!!---We have MISSED you!----I need to know if the new GRISHMAN is worth the read??----
later---

Mits said...

CHICK IN VIEW HI

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Baby at HI!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Big stick in the cup!! Dad needs to get it out of the way!

Mits said...

man that viewing at HI is just too awesome....

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

Parent in the nest...Looks like Belle, watching Hidey nap...

paula eagleholic said...

Morning Candy, thanks for checking in....need to hear from some other absent folks!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle's beak looks back to normal...except for the stuff on the left side now!!

paula eagleholic said...

Nice side by side comparison of Belle and Hidey....Hidey still has some growing to do for sure!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey doing lots of preening....look at him move those tail feathers...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning ALL in Eagleland

1 cute chick at Hi don't see any cracks in egg but could be on other side.

Maine Osprey has laid an egg today !!

When I went through Beakspeak today. I see that Osprey nest with the streaming video. I think Washington State is on again. Took a look they have big yellow thing in nest and pink in there. I think a couple of years ago that might be the site where our Chrissy was found.

Glo sorry about the blindness but I can say. When away from home just keep him close a lot of holding. When at home like you usually do. They seem to find their way around home just fine. BUT DON'T move anything. He might bump into some things. Which will be harder on you than him.

wvgal_dana said...

It is so hard to figure out if Lake Washington Eagle has any chicks yet. Guess will just have to watch for food to be brought in at that nest lol deep deep with tree in way.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It is a another beautiful morning here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown..75°. Won't stay like this for long...going to be another hot one.

glo said...

Thank Norma and Dana Yes it is hard on me. I feel very sad but hoping he doesn't know it. Somehow I htink he does. WE are doing the best we can. He is leanring to use his nose to guage how high a step is and then paw up it. He has hit his mouth a few times as he is short and low to the ground. You are right that is hard on me.

It has done nothing but rain here for days. I am looking forward to sunshine and hopefully a walk at the marina I hope he still enjoys that...it is quite different walking him now too.

wvgal_dana said...

Will probably never get caught up on comments.

Going to check oh gracious long over-due emails. Since I've been out awhile.

Did see pictures and video's of the trip to Paxt. River State Park. They were ALL wonderful. So glad many of you all posted pics and videos...I laughed and laughed.
Laughter good for healing.

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, Dana and Wanda, how are you both?

Glo, sorry to hear about Dex...

Costume Lady said...

DANA...where have you been, girl?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Glo, bless Dex's heart and yours! He is so fortunate to have a loving mother! :)

Costume Lady said...

Question: What is that crazy noise at Hornby and can it be turned off?

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Glo you are right he does know. I remember about the short nose...clearing throat. Brittany was part Lasa Alpsa so she had that short nose too. Sometimes she would bump her head especially when she wanted under the coffee
table...bless her heart. I know Glo it is so hard for you (((hugs to you both))

Costume Lady said...

Busy here, Paula. Trying to get our yard shaped up for the Summer and GeeGee's too. Doesn't allow for much time on here, but we we'll be caught up soon:)

Mits said...

both O's at FINLAND

paula eagleholic said...

I hear ya, Wanda. I look around the yard and see all the stuff that needs to be done...NOW!! Ha ha, I just remind myself that it can't get done all in one day! One thing at a time!

paula eagleholic said...

2 osprey at BWO, one is eating...

Belle finally left... Hidey laying at 2

paula eagleholic said...

Buddy was one year old yesterday...

hedgie said...

Hi y'all! Been lurking while working thru' emails and reading papers.
SO glad that Dana is back with us...how are you doing, girl???
Glo, glad to hear from you again, too. Sorry about Dex...it really is harder on US than it is on THEM!! Dogs are so adaptable....it won't be long that you won't be able to tell, at least while at home.
Candy, get that new 'puter up and running...."old" ones usually aren't worth cost of repair considering what you can get a new one for nowadays. I only bought the CPU last year....no need for new monitor or keyboard...but did have to get a floppy disc drive add-on as new one don't have a 3 1/2" port anymore and I have too much stuff on those discs!

hedgie said...

When the Finney water nest was MT earlier , I saw two beautiful big lumps of moss.....I LOVE mosses of all kinds...will make a nice cushion for a roosting mama, or pillow for chicks if they ever lay any an egg!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is back in the nest...

paula eagleholic said...

Snowing in Oregon! Poor eagles!

hedgie said...

Just saw some HP at Finney water!!!

hedgie said...

Glo, checked out your page....your cam club friend does good work! How fortunate that he was able (in ALL ways) to get that cam set up!!

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is moving fluff

paula eagleholic said...

Wow, look at that wingspan!!

Belle providing some shade for Hidey!

paula eagleholic said...

Ruh roh....Hidey getting right in Belle's face!

paula eagleholic said...

Shade tree moved to the back and picked at some nestovers...then just took off the back, think went up into the tree

hedgie said...

Out I go....nice breeze...hope it helps make it cooler/easier to work. Got some shots of my dogwood and redbud off the deck...will put up on computer tonight to see how good they turned out and if worth putting on my blog. BBL.

paula eagleholic said...

BWE Chessie and Choppie sacked out in the shade...

wvgal_dana said...

WOW just got out of emails lol
almost need a rest after all those.

Neat Norma is still exercising. ( :

Hidey/Miracle has really grown. Makes a difference with being the only chick in town/nest lol

wvgal_dana said...

Click on link laid one egg today
hope it works


BioDiversity Osprey Maine

wvgal_dana said...

It works you will get a black screen for a little while give it time.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent at BWE - Eating time...

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - did you hear Hornby Island chick hatched yesterday?

Also, Libby dam hatched one egg.

BWO osprey has 2 eggs in the nest, we'll see if we get three.

Loon cam is back on.

That's the news I can think of!

paula eagleholic said...

BWE eaglets are name Chesapeake and Choptank.

wvgal_dana said...

bbl time to lay down

paula eagleholic said...

All sorts of screaming at our nest...think Hidey thought food was brought in...or Belle thought so....

Belle and Lib both in the nest...Belle up into the tree...hmmm...Lib does have food!

Feeding Hidey now!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Great shot at HI of the baby!

movin said...

**Good Morning**

**eVERYoNE**


I saw Liberty bring home the fish and Belle claiming it, which she is now feeding both herself and Hidey with.

I hope you have a great day.

paula eagleholic said...

Lunch is over...not sure what is was...it's all gone!!

paula eagleholic said...

Lib's turn to play shade tree

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Watch them shade Hidey! Belle and Lib are the best parents!!

hedgie said...

Belle sure is shading Hidey now. Hot, hot, hot!! Breeze is now hot, too!
Both in Finney water nest.

Costume Lady said...

I just came in from spreading mulch and had to get the sweat off my glasses so I could see Hidey. Wondered how she was doing in this heat and WOW. Belle is tenting her (as much as she can) what a Mother she is!! Animals and Birds should be called caregivers, instead of animals!!

deb said...

Lunch time, I got the front yard mowed and part of the back. I need to do more, but will check out nests first!

hedgie said...

Deb, you are a busy-bee!!! Did you walk to work today? Walk home, eat, mow AND on computer!! Don't forget you HAVE to go back to WORK :(

hedgie said...

Wanda, I know what you mean...been getting the beds ready for fresh mulch and I have cleaned my glasses so many times in the last two days it's a wonder I haven't broken them!

deb said...

Lynn, I need to stay off the computer in the morning,or get up earlier. It puts me behind, then I had to drive this morning to get there in time! I'll get it down to a routine quickly, though and get on track.

movin said...

iF you get a chance look at the Old Faithful site. Last evening almost all the snow had melted, and I was thinking Spring was here to stay...even in Yellowstone.

You guessed it, it snowed overnight! Not just snowed, you can see 8" or more on the viewing benches. At least it appears that much to me.

movin said...

ZZ is cavorting in the tree tops in another enclosure this morning.

deb said...

BB late tonight!

deb said...

I just got an E-mail from Suzanne, but she shouldn't even be at work now. It looks like it was sent to everyone in her address book, including some businesses she must have there. You might not want to open it. No time to send out a warning by e-mail, some one might want to.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

My little indigo bunting has been hanging out here most of the day. So pretty. Right now, the flicker is over here talking crap to the starling. I surely wish the starling would go POOF!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, I am done working for the day, had a shower, folding clothes, etc. I will check back in with you good folks later!

I haven't gotten anything from Suzanne but will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the heads up, Deb!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Since I didn't get any takers yesterday, I will advertise again today.

FREE TO A HOME (DON'T MATTER IF IT IS GOOD OR BAD) - 1 OBNOXIOUS, LOUD, IRRITATING, NEST-STEALING STARLING. MR. FLICKER SAYS HE WILL PAY YOU TO COME AND GET THIS AGGRAVATING BIRD.

Lolly said...

And what will Mr. Flicker pay? LOL

Hi all! Zach woke from his nap yesterday and could not get back on. Busy, busy, busy! We got home around 11 and we were tired!

This morning I got beautiful and the beauty shop. (I only wish!)
Came home and Jack was on the patio with binoculars. He said we have a cardinal nest in the Carolina Jasmine and a wren in our Williamsburg bird bottle. Yea!

Lolly said...

We knew something had been in the bird bottle but had not seen it. Same with the nest in the vines.

It is presently 60 here and cloudy. We got over 2 inches of rain yesterday. PTL When it gets a little warmer things are going to grow like mad!

Need to check cams.

WELCOME TO ALL NEW NAMES!

hedgie said...

Sissy, the early bird gets the worm, as they say.....nice to have the rest of your day free! Bet hHaron isn't done yet....she's busy trying to find a home for the blasted starling!!! LOL....don't want it, Shar!
I didn't get that email from Suz....last one was at 9:58 and it was onoly to our group. Sure hope her comoputer hasn't been compromised, or that she isn't in any trouble.

paula eagleholic said...

Suz's email was a link to a website...I didn't click on it...just deleted the email..she may have gotten a worm...

Lolly said...

Wanda, why don't you all plan a trip to NBG? The gardens are beautiful and there happens to be an eagle nest!!! Would that be close enough for a day trip? I have not checked the map!

hedgie said...

Jim, definitely looks like a significant snowfall, and looks likes it coming down right now!
Did you get my Help email yesterday???

Lolly said...

Can not believe Deb had an hour for lunch and came home and mowed! Guess it is cool enough not to get hot and sweaty.

hedgie said...

I sent an email alert out to all momsters/dadsters on my list about Deb's concern.

hedgie said...

As pesky as they can be, BlueJays are still lovely....and I just missed getting a great shot...stepped out the door and he was in my big pine...got back in and grabbed the cam, but while focusing, he took off...boo.

hedgie said...

Lolly, Norfolk would be a real stretch for a day trip....maybe if we were 20!!!
BTW...you don't need a beauty shop...you are beautiful just the way you are!

Lolly said...

Bless your heart, Lynn!! Too bad it is too far to NBG. Could not remember. We went there last May and it was fantastic. Want to go again when we can stay longer in the gardens. We were there to see the nest on the way to catch a plane and we only had a short while.

Lolly said...

Okay, I really need to clean house. It got pushed aside yesterday and the day is rushing by and I have not even started. LOL (This is so much more fun!)

BBL

wvgal_dana said...

back from nap

Thanks Paula you are so so great for bringing me up-to-date. I really appreciate it. ( : ty ( :

SHARON is there a rescue for birds near you. Take it there and tell them it needed rescued before you cracked it with a broom lol

Mits said...

too late already opened the mail from Suzanne, its like a sales pitch for electronics.....it has also gone to eaglet momster mail

wvgal_dana said...

I'm looking at the chick at Libby Dam tee hee
That is an egg and 1 chick right?

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda I couldn't have done the trip after looking at the pics. I would not have been able to walk on grass.

Trying to watch feeding at Libby to see if parent only goes towards one area (one chick). That would mean other is egg.

ceil said...

Afternoon everyone. Dana that was funny. I was thinking before she wrings its neck and they have starling stew.

Mits said...

I'm, going to send PETA to her house....lol

wvgal_dana said...

It looks like she is feeding 2 chicks at Libby Dam. Can anyone else verify that?

Mits said...

I heard my starlings talking about her this morning.....they were organizing a trip to Bluefield WVA

ceil said...

I also opened it. It was right before Lynn's alert. It was an advertisement and mine was just a little after noon.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh no Mits what time was on it? It sounds like it went through her whole address book----eeekkkks.

ceil said...

Instead of where is waldo Where is Steve?

wvgal_dana said...

There was 2 in my email box from Suzanne time 1:06pm. Which means she was already gone by then! I didn't open put both in delete!!!!

wvgal_dana said...

It showed subject was about electronics.

Mits said...

sometimes emails take along time to get to my box, don't remember the time, but think it may have been a little after noon, like Ceil said, I was out and just got back to puter a little while ago.

Mema Jo said...

Good Afternoon All! Yes, Ceil I agree Where is Our Man! He'll surprise us at 10pm tonight! LOL I got an email so
I think he is at work today. This split really helps - it doesn't seem to slow us down!

Was at DR this am and got a good good report on this pneumonia! No temp, breathing better (95 on ox finger meter)
All in All I am on the mend.

Glo and Dex - thought and prayers are with you twoWell no rest for the weary - still making up missed appointments - off to the Podiatrist. Touch base upon my return....

Mits said...

good news, Jo;)

ceil said...

So glad that you got good news about the pneumonia Jo.
Glo sorry to hear about Dex. Our Dalmatian lived to be 16 and had many problems for a few years before we had to have her put down.
She would fall out the back door and look at me as if I pushed her.

wvgal_dana said...

No link to click just information I got off Maine site for Woods Hole Osprey Site: wcz3176 wrote:
Folks - I figured a brief update to your list would be helpful. At 550pm on Sunday we approached the base of the pole with a bucket truck, on the erroneous assumption that the bird was still attached to the platform as had been reported. The entangled bird immediately flew off trailing the netting from its neck. It alighted on a nearby pylon, and immediately got entangled in the beam it was sitting on. It struggled and then was hanging by its feet, immobile, which was tough to see but lucky in that it was then immobilized. We quickly moved the truck to the pylon, and had the bird in hand very quickly. We brought it to the ground in the bucket, snipped off the netting, let the bird go and she was back on the nest in a flash - maybe by 6pm once we were done. No sign of any tissue damage at all. Just thought you would like to know the story. I'm a veterinarian and I work at WHOI. That piece of netting is therefore no longer a threat to the animal.

ceil said...

I was just watching the Atlanta zoo. Have not watched it since it came back on. Baby was climbing and mom came over and knocked him down. He got up and walked away after her.

Mits said...

she reminds me of Mei Xiang

ceil said...

I remember when Tai was little Helen. Mei would knock him off of anything and walk away. Didn't stop him.

ceil said...

Nice story Dana. It had a happy ending. Off to do some errands.

Mits said...

yeah, he would jump on her, he was not afraid....XL is up on the logs now ignoring mom.

Costume Lady said...

Just came in from mowing and while sitting here reading comments, felt something on my neck...it was a tick. I wasn't even near the woods or bushes. I think they are going to be a nuisance this year. Check yourselves when yuo've been outdoors. Little boogers nearly did in my grandson last year:(

DANA, thanks for posting that report. Very interesting and a happy ending.

paula eagleholic said...

We could do NBG....only 3 hours away or so....would be a long day, but fun!

paula eagleholic said...

Plastic is really a nuisance and hazard to our animal friends...glad they were able to help the osprey...

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey up and did a poop shoot...now back to 2ish...and flapping near the edge!

hedgie said...

Dana, you would have done fine....only grass walking was to the picnic tables--only about 50 feet from the parking lot! Mary Margaret drove we handicapped momsters down to the boat ramp since it was a steep climb---she had actually driven there by herself on Sunday to scope it out in advance for us....she is a sweetheart.

Ms Bookworm said...

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE! I got to sleep in late this morning, and it took almost forever to catch up with the blog! Talk about out of the loop!! Good to see Hidey at her 2 o'clock sentry post. Been trying to get a decent pic of the hummingbird nest here, but the wind has it bouncing around too much. The little momma has been sitting on the nest most of the time, with a few well-timed trips to the feeder and a couple of my hummingbird friendly bushes. I think she's an Anna's hummer. Really a cutie! Last year my daughter's mom-in-law, who also lives in Anaheim, had a hummer nest on the top of her wind chimes! Those little rascals are just amazing-- so adaptable! I'm really busy today trying to get some things done around the house, so BBL. Have a good rest-of-the-day, and I'll catch U later! :o]

hedgie said...

Dana, what a heartwarmimg story from Woods Hole. Thanks!
Maybe if Loretta has a chance to pop in she can tell us about the one at Patuxent that Greg was going to look at more closely to see if there was something caught on its' foot.
Yes, NBG would make a good field trip, Paula!

paula eagleholic said...

Food, out nest...don't know if Hidey has eaten yet or not....Adult is eating...

paula eagleholic said...

In the nest, not out of the nest...LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Hidey is getting some bites now..Think it's Lib doing the honors again,,,

Mits said...

hidey looks like she is feeding Lib

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good evening everyone.

My dumb butt just carried an old 27 inch TV from the back porch to the road and when I was sitting it down, the front of it fell onto the bottoms of my legs. Scraped a few layers of skin off and I think busted veins on both sides, knots immediately rose up on both of them. What a clutz I am!! I went to Sissy's and she broke out the "doctor bag" and doctored me up.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

And tomorrow my belly will probably be killing me for picking up something heavy. I was just trying to be a little self-sufficient.

ceil said...

Yep Sharon it was a dumb thing to do. Hope you are okay. Saturday we moved a trundle for the day bed from downstairs upstairs. I moved the mattress from the front room to the back room and back has been giving me problems every since.

Mits said...

hello......who just had a major operation for hernias a few months, could you not have waited for Andrew!!!!!!!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Yes, Mits, I am really wishing I had waited. My legs are hurting!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Sharon, that was not a very smart move on your part (you know better), but, GeeGee did something even dumber. She couldn't wait for Gene to rototil her garden, so she went out with a shovel and dug a parcel for her spinach. She is suffering quite a bit AND says she will NEVER do that again! She was trying to be SELF-SUFFICIENT like you! DUMB AND DUMBER:) LOL

ceil said...

Wait until Mema Jo hears what you did. She is going to hit you with her eagle cane.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I know she will and I deserve it all! :) I will be Dumb and Dumber with GeeGee!

ceil said...

Feeding time Norfolk

ceil said...

Thanks Ceil. My first indigo bunting showed up this morning.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

This flicker and starling are still after each other. This is my ongoing saga!

hedgie said...

I have an eagle cane now, too, and I'm closer....I'm gonna come use it on you, Sharon....good grief, girlfriend....if you did any damage to your abdomen, you're going to get it from all of us!!!! Poor legs....know how much that hurts.
I got a verbal beating today from Bill's cousin...he came to see how much mulch he was going to have to get me, and saw me raking up the sticks and twigs and said the new mulch will cover it and sticks will rot....."why are you trying to kill yourself?"

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am thinking maybe I will wrap myself in bubble wrap and be known as "The Girl in the Plastic Bubble Wrap!" ;)

hedgie said...

Oh my, Wanda, GeeGee shouldn't evenbe out in this heat! Bet you wanted to use your cane there, too!!! Hope she is okay. If she can take it, give her some Advil and get some thermacare patches!

Mits said...

ok that is it....the Wet noodle is coming out of retirement for all of you......you are right Ceil, Jo is gonna get her.......

ceil said...

Lynn forgot you had an eagle cane. Watch out Sharon

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Oh yeah and my dumb butt deserves whatever it gets!

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Lynn, I should use my cane on her. LOL Lord have mercy, she knows better than that! She has OXY.....and LIDOCAINE PATCHES. They only help her for a short while when she has done something so foolish.

Costume Lady said...

I have a cane too, Sharon. If you do something like that again, I may use my cane to turn you into a frog! LOL

hedgie said...

Well, hope she is using both, Wanda!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I just talked to Andrew and he said, "Mom, couldn't you have waited until I got home?" I said, that is what Helen said too. :)

hedgie said...

hedgie said...

My lilies-of-the-valley are almost ready to bloom.....hope they hold off three days...they are the May birth-flower.

Lynn when I lived just outside of Baltimore Md. I had a Lily of the Valley just outside my front door. It smelt so good and loved it when company came. They always mentioned something about the lovely smell. Hey gal that is my Birth-flower ( : lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I heard that Dana! :)

Mits said...

frog, we should turn her into a starling, Wanda, she would never pull that stunt again

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Ooohh, you can't turn me into a starling! :) I bet I would have a whole new perspective of them then, don't ya think?

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I bet I will have fun trying to lie in the bed tonight with both legs screwed up. I normally sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees but i would say that is not going to be possible tonight. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!
