sleeping on his log on his back!
The little guy just sat up, turn over on his side, rubbed his eyes and back to the good old panda nap!
I hope someone else makes it through the
SPLIT !
I am with ya Mema Jo!
Friends don't let friends go through splits alone!
Eagle Buddies FLY Together!
Mei is up on the birthing table with her belly down! She finished eating her bamboo.
Turkey, squirrels and blue jays in the PA woods.
Watching Mrs Hummer on her nest
My hummer was here one day a week or so ago - Has not yet returned.
After the frost warning my hanging planters will go out and my flower pots will be filled with their goodies. Sure hope they come back!
Whoa! Had an email from the Friends of the National Zoo - Jumped on it but it's not about
Mei our panda. I really had hoped it would be info - but it's not.
Jo, employees and volunteers get the news first,and then the public, and we cannot reveal news til it goes on the panda page are comes thru on the Fonz newsletter....
so there has been no news from zoo yet today, about Mei
I think our Hidey is having a good old time in the nest, just jumping and chirping!
Hi all! Caught up on blog!
So glad to hear that John-John is doing better. Croup is one of those nightmarish things....so scary. My youngest had it one time (I was working ER at that time, so had seen enough of it to know what it was and what to do)....we made it through the night with no aftereffects for her, but I sure was dragged out!
Andrea, now they are saying quake was a 4.7...hey, was it along the San ANDREAs Fault??? LOL!
Thanks Mits - I did really jump! lol
Hidey is getting to look more like a Juvie each passing day!
Got my FONZ newsletter, too....Can't believe that the clouded leopards are 8 wks. old already!!
Does the cover on the birthing table look wet??? Look at that position!!! What a card she is!
I didn't think it looked wet, Lynn, but cam followed her to the outer den....
Well, back out of the den...look at the way her tail is twitching...wonder if that means anything?!?
If she shoots a baby out in that position, it will really be squalling when it hits the floor!
Guess that must have been the other cam...because seconds later, cam showed her back on the table.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL OF YOUR KIND WORDS AND WELL WISHES, AND MOSTLY YOUR PRAYERS. HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE HOSPITAL YET. IT IS TIME FOR ME TO HEAD ON OUT. THANKS AGAIN.. YOU ALL ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!!!! SEE YOU IN THE AM.....
Mits....black thing...kong toy??
she was going to the bathroom Lynn. Lift the flap and let it go.
yes, kong toy.
Mei sure has been in a lot of positions today and not resting for long.
Good news about little John John keep on praying though.
That was cute Lynn San Andreas fault hee hee good one.
Mail arrival and haven't read newspaper for the morning. I am behind again. Catch up....go back...catch up....go back lol
It is hard to stay ahead of things!
I need to go clean some dishes or might be paper plates tonight!
Don't even know yet what I am putting on the plates......talk about staying ahead of things. Oh well, it isn't 5:00 yet!!!!
What a life when you retire... None
of the above worries me one bit!
I will BBL
I like the surprise catch-ups...dog just wanted to go out on deck for a little warm sunshine...doorhandle almost fell off in my hand!!! Have to remember that screws need to be tightened periodically...duh!
Hi, Lynn,
Yes, indeed, I DO get blamed for a lot of shaking out here! LOL :o] Guess it's all my FAULT (get it? HA!);oD
Lynn, you're absolutely correct-- first breaking news reports last night said quake was a 5.0; later they downgraded it to a 4.7.
Well, you guys, I'm awake NOW!!! We have a guy who lives down our street who's a police detective (he drives an all black car). He must have just gotten a call from headquarters, because just as he got even with the window I'm sitting by, he turned on his siren and screeched outa here! (Think I'd better go check my drawers!) He nearly scared the life out of me! Prayers for THAT situation!
Ha, ha, Andrea....got it! Think Jim said this morning 3.something....so it was a bit stronger!! Anyway you look at it, it was too much....sure glad that we don't have to worry about quakes (not much, anyway....we really do get a lot along the Atlantic Seaboard area, but they are SO minimal that no one knows about them except the seismologists!
Just got the Pet Cemetery surrounded by pretty little green wickets....mulcher man had done the area in shape of a heart...looked pretty, but something was already digging in the mulch...so maybe wickets will keep the moles/voles or whatever it is out!
Hedgie - The varmints probably come from the 'ground up'.
Turkeys at the Snowman Cam !
Where's da bears?
lol - laugh out loud. I never knew that....guess the LOL is on me!
Got my learnin' in for the day!
Hope everyone has a Great Afternoon !
Sure warmed up nicely around here.
xo
Mema
I saw adult and two cubs sometime around 3 o'clock this morning...sometime like that....
☺
Pet cemetery, sounds pretty Lynn
Be sure to put the Pet Cemetary pic on your blog, Lynn
My Panda cams at DC are off ?????
Last I saw Mei was just sleeping
on her birthing bed.....
Anyone else have their cams off?
Anyone Out there in Eagle Land watching the DC Panda cam?
Trying to connect now, Jo. Hang on.
Well until I get some DC Fonz information aboput MEI I wish our Hidey would just stay off the edge and quit flapping and flapping those beautiful wings!!!!!
Can't get either one of them up.
I'm going to email Mits!
Nope, no panda cam here........whoo hoo, Jo!!! Maybe our wishes are coming true.
NOW, someone please tell me what is going on in our nest! I can't make it out.
mine went off too, tried rebooting still down...will email my contacts...not that they will tell me anything, last I looked she was lying on the bed
Shadows are bad....is Hidey at 3?
Jo, holes in mulch don't seem to go anywhere!!! I never thought about that when I said moles/voles...Ha, ha! It's probably squirrels or chipmunks digging to find or hide goodies!
LOL I had to look at Hidey's feet to tell in which direction he was standing!
Guess Hidey is at 2:00 and looking over shoulder or preening those downy feathers away.
Hidey is at 2-3 o'clock position, Lynn. Just perched and preening a little bit.
I emailed my bosses.....this would be so sudden, but this did happen last year and it was a fluke, she was so quiet.MTBR
Eating dinner now -
BBILW
I remember when the cams went off last year, and they had to come on and explain there was some kind of work that was being done.....cam people do not have the ability to shut them down
my heart and head are pounding....while I was watching earlier, was trying to see if her stomach was doing any kind of contractions, but cam person was not getting a closeup.....especially after Lynn thought she saw some water on the bed.
hope this is not a false alarm, and it is the real deal.....
Oh, me too Mits!
Checking back while din din in oven.
Yes my DC cams went black...when I stopped by she was asleep. Next I stopped all black out.
BTW, I am happy to announce that come October the M&M girls will have a little brother named Ben to join their family:):):)
Oh Boy a boy ( : Hi Ben in Mommies tummy.
BOOYAH BENJAMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as fast as it went off, I'm thinking some kind of tech problem, think we would have heard something
OK, sun has shifted...can see Hidey plainly now!
Hope you can get some info, Helen!
:):) yes, Benjamin Patrick:)
don't know where the Ben came from, it has been the boy's name all along.....Patrick is Kevin's confirmation name.....so Maggie will be 3, and Molly will be 2,and baby Patrick, and maybe a rest for a while before they decide if they are going to have more:)
Benjamin....great name! And I'm sure that Kevin is tickled to death! Congrats to all the Kalis family!
Oh Mits Congratulations again Grandma....or whatever M & M call you lady.
yep, thanks, that is what they call me Dana....Grandma
bbl dinner time the bell tolls
Well I see its labor and delivery here once again. One due any time and one in October...congrats to Mits.
anyway stopped in as I had a cute story sent to me today and wanted to share.
Its a little long but pretty cute for those of you who have time for a short read. here it is.
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In
order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to
purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.
Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, 'When I get there, if I
decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul
it home.'
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides
she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no
less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her
sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph
office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her
that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer
to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then
adds, it will cost 99 cents a word.' Well, after paying for the bull,
the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one
word.
After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send
her the word 'comfortable.'
The operator shakes his head. 'How is she ever going to know that you
want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to
haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word
'comfortable?'
The brunette explains, 'My sister's blonde. The word is big. She'll read
it very slowly...... 'com-for-da-bul.'
LOL as is true for so much of life "For those who understand ... no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand ... no explanation is possible!"
Enjoy your evening
Oh, Glo, that is priceless!!! ROFLMBO!!
thanks, Glo.....love the story.....lol
Very good, Glo!
still no word from zoo:(
of course, if there is a cub, they are a tad busy....and my contacts have probably already gone home for the day
Can't believe that after eating lunch out, I am hungry already! Have a hankering for French fries w/ cheese!! I think it's Mei's fault....she has me on edge....
thanks, Lynn, he is tickled blue:)
me too, Lynn, after the last 2 years, I have not let myself get excited at all this time, but am anxious to find out what is going on, sure we will here something sometime...
I have the local news on, just in case they hear something
I guess we should concentrate on Hidey
Almost did a nose dive out of the nest at 2:00
It could very well be Tech difficulty at Zoo Cams. I hope that isn't all it is but don't want to get any anxiety attack pondering over what it could be!
Awww....4 ducklings went down a sewer drain in DC...mama was wailing...passersby rescued all the little ones and animal control relocated the family to a safer location!
I think I am hyperventilating...lol
Sure don't understand why I have to log in here again just because I opened blog on PC...still have it up on netbook...duh!
Good evening all. GA girl know you are not here but prayers for the little one that he will be well soon.
Lynn MM says thank you for the card. We picked up her mail on Saturday. Wish the cat would stay here. Her neighbor is taking care of her.
Jo, Margy and Wanda she got your cards also.
Lynn the poor ducks fall down the drains around here all the time.
Ha, ha, Mits made a punny out of my goof! As I was saying, bet Kevin is tickled BLUE!!!
I don't have a clue about that Lynn.
Good story about the ducklings!
I liked the story Glo! Pretty good thinking!
As soon as we can get to shopping will get some boys clothes.
Hi Ceil, and MM, too!!! Welcome!
Hope your citizens are conscientious, too!
boy clothes and trucks and cars,,,whooppeeee
Glo loved the joke.
Mits that was clever. tickled blue
LOL
I have dibs on buying the first fire engine:), we might still have Kevin's' here
Lynn some of them are. One time the mother duck was jumping up and down and a car ran over her. We have some idiots. Ask Sharon. We did get rid of one of them.
have contacted some of my voulnteer buddies, but don't think they watch the cam like I do.
Hi Ceil and Mary Margaret!
Good to have you here!
It is starting to chill down outside
Feel and looks like a Fall evening.
cams have been down for over an hour...
Jo MM is downstairs. She will not come upstairs. My computer is upstairs. We have very steep steps.
what a story....
Man calls 911 over 28-year-old son's messy bedroom
Seconds ago
BEDFORD, Ohio — An Ohio man who argued with his grown son over a messy bedroom said he overreacted when he called 911. Andrew Mizsak called authorities Thursday after his 28-year-old son — who's a school board member in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford — threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and made a fist at him when told to clean his room.
The son, also named Andrew, lives in a room in his parents' basement.
The father declined to press charges and told police he doesn't want to ruin his son's political career.
The son, who also works as a political consultant, said he's lucky to be living in the house rent free. He also promises to keep his room clean.

grow up!!!!!
Speaking of baby clothes....saw the cutest little pair of toddler clogs at CVS last week....but sure wouldn't put a stumbling little one in them...too dangerous!
Helen I'll race you to the toy store.
Bluebirds being fed on Wild Watch Cam - mouths open wide

Eagle cams just not operating!
NOT CLOGS....meant to say CROCS!
Know what you meant Lynn.
you will probably win, Ceil, I will be the one falling down.
Yep. I will let you get the fire engine. Don't want to see you falling.
Female giant pandas give birth between 95 and 160 days after mating.
it has been 121 days since her AI
Helicopter going over the nest
Mits - I hope we don't need to wait another month plus a few days to get that cub!!!
IT'S A BOY!! Ceil and Helen, I just might beat you both to that Firetruck. I know exactly where they are in the store after 2 grandsons. Gene bought one for our grandaughter (we still have it, 23 years later) It is named "My Ding-a-Ling". She was born when that song was popular:)
Wanda that is funny.
Hidey was completely oblivious to that helecoptor. Getting use to those strange noises, I guess.
lol...Wanda, I asked my dil if she could she it was a boy, and she said she thought she was looking at his arm....told her that is why she keeps getting pregnant, does not know the difference
I think Helen should run over to the zoo and see what is happening.
Ceil, I got MM pictures today. Will post them later this evening to albums.
Ceil, that is a GOOD idea!!
Evening, all.
Had my own little bird tragedy this evening. Baby robin either fell out of the nest or tried to fly to soon...hopped halfway across the backyard before the dog spotted him...unfortunately the dog saw him before I did...picked him up....but did drop him. Got the dogs inside and went back out to check on him...seemed OK. So I put him in the side yard and went inside to get the ladder to put him back in the nest. When I went out to get him, he had died. :(
Can't always save them once the dogs have picked them up...they just want to play with them, but they are too rough when they pick it up. Can't blame the dogs, they are just doing what comes naturally, they are retrievers.
Oh, Helen, ROFLMBO!!!!!
dogs will be dogs, Paula...
they would not let me in even if I went.....
Paula my dalmatian would go after the birds and once in awhile she would get one. You did the best you could as always.
Wanda the two of us running would be a sight.
Oh, Mits, a grandson! Congrats.
Hidey GET BACK UP IN THE NEST
:):), thanks Paula.
Hidey is one fearless eagle.
should have had jubby bring in dinner....
just going to have burgers on the grill
LOL, Margy :):):)
You know, it is really cruel and unusual punishment to leave us hanging this long. At least they could put on the web page if there are technical difficulties.
Sharon, you are absolutly right. You come up with the best suggestions...You should run for WV Govenor. Maybe you would get some good rules in place. LOL
GA Girl - glad little John John will be OK.
That's what my youngest called his older brother when he was little. :)
GOVERNOR FARLEY...has a nice ring to it!
my only thought on that is either everyone is busy or maybe something is wrong, which I hope is not the case, or it is a tech problem, and they have no way to let us know.
sounds good, Wanda
Hidey is not even on the edge...he is on the outside of the edge. Daredevil!
OMG - that would be something to behold! Me as governor -- ROFLMAO OVER AND OVER!!
Is there any doubt as to where he will take off from on his maiden flight?
think he has found his spot
or she has..
Mits!!! I am so happy for you and yours! A boy!! The M&M girls will have him dressed in doll clothes before you know it! (Mattie had Justin in her giant Barbie's dress)! Congratulations~!!!
Well, Sharon, if you decide to run for Governor, please leave our welcome signs as is, 'WILD AND WONDERFUL'. I was furious with Gaston Caperton when he changed that to "Open for Business"...really stoopid! (I think it was Caperton).
thanks, Bev, sure they will put him thru his paces
Got to chatting and reading...overcooked my pizza! Good thing I like a crispy crust!
Wanda, I think that was Manchin that did that! He changed it back pretty quickly (in politician time, it was fast).
That is so funny, Sissy. Reminds me of my oldest grandson. He wet his pants for many years (at bedtime) and when he came to visit me, sometimes he would run out of his shorts and would wear my grandaugtets panties, just so he could stay!LOL That is the grandson that just graduated from college. He did quit wetting the bed, finally;)
I am home, I was going to mow tonight, but it is just going to have to wait until tomorrow, too tired and not in the mood to mow.
Yep, it was Manchin but when I am governor, I will leave our signs as they are cause we are -WILD AND WONDERFUL!!!!
OK, Sissy, after I said Caperton, I thought he was Governor too long ago to have been the jerk...er, I mean the person who changed it.
My tulip poplar has beautiful blooms all over it!
We are known all across the United States as "Wild and Wonderful". The truckers often refer to WV for one reason or another, Mostly because of our 70MPH speed limit, and call it W and W.
Hi, Deb...yep, prop up those feet and rest your bones:)
Allow enough time in your schedule this evening, Deb, to post some photos for us.
I love tulip trees, the blossoms are unusual and the leaves a pretty.
Congrats on a boy, Helen, Ben is a very nice name!
thanks Deb, we have loved the name from the beginning, and glad they can use it now.
So will he be called Benjamin or Ben?
Hidey has been perched on the nest edge...stretching on one foot!
Hopped into the bowl and back to the edge at 2ish
Pic looks really nice now.
Ben...
Wanda, I don't know if you have heard me talk about it but this tree has been here longer than I have and last year was the first time I saw flowers on it. I guess they have always been there but I hadn't noticed it before.
Hard to believe one month will be the longest day of the year!
Yepper Hidey! We see you doing that!
WHOA! Hidey just flew from one side to the other!...and back again!
This bird is making me nervous...!!!
First time I have seen that!
Yes, Sharon, I read your comment about the tree never blooming, that you had noticed, and my thoughts were pretty much what you said....some trees need to be a certain age before they bloom. Not sure about the Tulip Tree.
It should be time for Hidey's late evening snack
Loon is on the nest and the other loon is out in the water - Just took a dive!
Posted some pics on my blog....pileated is really blurry when you enlarge it, but the 2nd shot showing the hole he made in a matter of a couple of minutes shows well. Wickets hardly show up in cemetery shot.
Paula, sorry about your baby bird.
Swallows tried to rebuild in same spot here, but see that there's just a lot of nesting material hanging off the eave...they apparently can't get it to stick...probably in too much of a hurry trying to beat nature's call.
NZ cams are back on!
DC Panda cam in up/running but I think it may be Tai in his den eating his bamboo
Mits - can you advise?
Mits, is that Mei's den? Is that Mei? I don't think it looks like her den.
Eating birdseed out here right now is 3 cardinals, a house sparrow, a female cowbird and 1 plump chipmunk!
And a partridge in a pear tree!
both cams are on Mei
Well, poopy turds!
chipmunk that thinks it is a bird...:)
We have a lovely parent in our nest!
Parent came to visit!
Got all my annuals covered up!
Belle in the nest!
Fluff on the beak
CAM ON
my words exactly, Sharon
Yep, it sho' nuf WAS Manchin who made that change....el stupido!
Don't know about the blooming schedule on Tulip Poplars---too long ago that I had one---but do remember being told that they are shallowly rooted and become top-heavy! Know what that means!!
Hey, Deb, the lawn will still be there tomorrow! Chill, girlfriend!
er that is...was, Lib. Gone up into the tree.
Parent sure didn't stay long
And not a morsel left for Hidey
Ya think Hidey is wondering when he's going to be able to get up there?!
And gone
Alvin blends right in with the birds too! So cute. Comes up the holly tree and makes a leap onto the gutter and then up on the roof. His cheeks are huge right now.
here come the geese
Dagnabit...???sp???? we have to go through this for a possible what...29 more days?? Argh....
Is that Mei tearing into that bamboo???? Haven't seen that much energy out of her in weeks!!
Daggone! Missed Gilles' dance!
been watching her and think she is much more active this year than last year during this stage of the countdown....
Paula, Gilles "done good"--got a 30! He and Cheryl get my vote!
Came down to see the 30, that's how I knew I missed it!
Two perfect scores! Gonna be a hard decision!
Parent up near cam!
