Missed the Switch, but made the split. I'll just have to take your word for it, Jo ☺ Which of course I do ! xoxo ☺

magpie said...

Good to hear from Mits and Ceil and all other today, as always ! ♥ Got to go look at Megan's Peonies!
I have my little flags displayed in my Megan Flower planter boxes....so proudly....

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good afternoon eagle buds! Back home, feeling better, unpacked, and ready to kick back a while!! Hidey looks like he/she is resting too!

Mema Jo said...

Hi there Sissy! Hope your weekend was great! Missed you!
Wanda has videos on her blog! You'll love them.

hedgie said...

Margy, I taped the PBS show last evening for you!

magpie said...

Welcome back to Your Roost, Sharon ! Bet all the four-leggeed wildlife was happy to see you again !

Sure was fun to spend some time with you, Thelma, and Mattie ♥

magpie said...

Paula: Sounds like a fantastic time Sunday for you! Glad you got to see some more Orioles !!! ☺ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ a wonderfully chirpy bird !

magpie said...

Hedgie !
That is great! I cannot thank you enough...you really take care of this old gal ! ☺ ♥

hedgie said...

Deb, were you taking pics today?? Can't wait to see what you "caught"!!!
Hi, Sis! Welcome home....we missed you...Sharon, Thelma and Mattie will fill you in on all of our fun.
BTW Gang....don't forget to add more votes for Bob's picture!!

Mema Jo said...

Margy - I think that Sharon & Mattie are still traveling home. That was our "I want to be a panda when I grow up" who is about to kick back!

magpie said...

The kind of calls last night sure made me realize that a lot of our local yokels did not have Memorial Day and its meaning on their minds.

Lots of hitting and fighting going on!

Hope that changes for tonight....

magpie said...

Oh, thank you JO

whooo boy - tend to get those two lovely gals mixed up from time to time !

Welcome Home Sissy ! and continued safe travel wishes for Mattie and Sharon ☺

Mema Jo said...

Looks like Hidey wants those white downy feathers OFF of her. She is really working hard at it!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Yeah, magpie, it's me. Sher and Mattie were heading home a while ago, hoping to miss some of the holiday/race traffic!!

magpie said...

Loretta has landed safely in Athens! Has sent an email with pics, had a hair-rising plane schedule battle getting to and out of New York..but all seems well....

I will comply with her request to try to post a pic or two on my profile blogspot, but, must wait until morning now...got to get ready for work.

She has already seen some awesome birds !!

She was emailing from an internet connection in the lobby

magpie said...

Hope you are hale and hearty and cough-free, Sissy! Welcome back to the world of Eaglet Momsters ! xoxox

Costume Lady said...

This is a rock very similar to my rock, but the fact that this rock is from SIBERIA, gives me room for doubt???? Maybe some Russian dropped it while visiting out west;)













DIOPTASE

Dioptase is of Greek derivation: "dia" & "optazein" meaning "to see through" CuSiO2(OH)2 is the chemical composition of Dioptase. Dioptase has brilliant green transparent crystals. The author if this picture tells us that this stone is a far more vivid green than could be photographed. These lovely green crystals grow on the gray matrix. Dioptase, although as beautiful as an emerald, has a flaw in that it is quite soft. This precludes it from being a precious stone, not for lack of beauty, but it won't hold up to wear. Dioptase was used as a pigment by the Russians in their icons (religious paintings) since the mineral is found in Siberia.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Just looked at your pics Wanda! Great, thanks so much for posting them. I missed being there so much!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hidey is giving us some face time now!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

She looks huge when she is under the cam!

Costume Lady said...

The last comment from me was info that Lolly's Jack sent regarding the questioning I had about my mysterious rock, which I found out west last year.

Costume Lady said...

We missed you, for sure, Sissy!

magpie said...

So long everyone...work time looms.

Thanks again to all our Veterans and their families, and all those lost in the battles for World Peace

xo ♥

Mema Jo said...

Dinner time for me

BBL

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Gonna get off of here and settle in! BBIALW!

hedgie said...

Finally got some pics of my robin bobbleheads.....will work on downloading Sat. pics and them after dinner, and try to post some.

Eagle in nest Maine Cam 1

ceil said...

Hornby cam. There is a saw and both mom and chick are not happy. Sounds like someone is sawing down the tree. It is very close to the tree nest.

Mema Jo said...

It is windy up at the Maine 1 nest.
The other Maine nest is frozen...

ceil said...

Jo,It always seems windy at the Maine and Hornby nests.
There was loud music at the Maine 1 nest today.

Mema Jo said...

And to think we can't even go up to the barn door to get near our nest!
lol

ceil said...

Jo I am with you. Still cannot get over the night we heard the gun shots and Belle was so upset.

ceil said...

Hidey is chewing on that old piece of bone. I think that is what it is. Well I am off to watch some TV. Have a good night.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I am happy to report that I have arrived at home. My dogs are tickled to see me. Scooby jumped up on me and left 2 pretty good scratches on the top of my leg. :(

Mits said...

Ceil , Jay is still here, he has a meeting in Norfolk tomorrow.....I think I have decided to stay longer, sure the zoo will not mind....I have things I need to do, that did not get done yet....

ceil said...

Like sit on the beach. LOL Only kidding.

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - well now you have scratches up your legs and scratches down your legs! You match! Glad you are home safely.

Mits - That's good thinking about staying down now that you are there.
No rush to the zoo without the Panda Watch in effect! Enjoy your stay.

Mits said...

I think it is supposed to rain all week, I have not been on the beach yet, crazy huh???

ceil said...

I think it is only isolated storms. Try to take a little bit of time to enjoy. Work can wait. At least sit on the balcony.

paula eagleholic said...

Spotty showers for sure...haven't seen one all day...do need it! might have to go out and water!

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, Mits, bet you haven't had a G&T on the deck...or my glass of wine!

ceil said...

Paula we had rain Don't have to water. Who had my drink Saturday night? I told Suz to have a glass of wine for me or a bottle.

Mits said...

I had one glass of wine when we went to Lombardi's for pizza the other night....or as Maggie calls it Bardi's, Molly was in awe, some little toddler boy could actually scream louder than she can, she kept quiet the whole time....

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like Molly was intimidated! lol
Most small people are amazed by other small people!


Should soon be a food drop for that late evening snack for Hidey.

Mits said...

incoming

Mema Jo said...

Well there it is!

deb said...

Food delivery, I love how we get warnings that an adult is arriving.

Mits said...

lol, thanks for the fish

Mema Jo said...

MY FISH
ALL MY FISH

Go back up on your limb Lib/Belle

Mema Jo said...

Is it all gone already???

Mema Jo said...

Did your hearts skip a beat?

Mema Jo said...

Going out to sit on the deck - it has cooled off and is really pleasant.

BBL

gwen of s.c. said...

I was babysitting my one and a half year old grandaughter today and we tuned in just in time to see the morning meal being delivered and eaten. What a miracle for both of us to see it.She has to be one of the youngest new admirers of Hidey. I'm sure gonna miss her when she's gone. Love, Gwen

deb said...

Parent in nest, can't see if food was delivered.

deb said...

I bet you will miss her, Gwen. How long will she be there?

Mema Jo said...

Belle visiting nest - getting bed ready for Hidey ??? New food for parent while Hidey watches from her perch around 1:00 position.

Mema Jo said...

Gwen - don't know what is the hardest - I will see for the 1st time (other then web cam & photos) my 1 yr old great granddaughter this July! Can't wait! They can sure steal your hearts very quickly.

deb said...

Hidey is being fed.

Costume Lady said...

Not much on TV tonight. DWTS is over and NOTHING to replace it:( Tomorrow (which is most of our favorite viewing night) is probably going to be reruns:( BAH HUMBUG!!

Mema Jo said...

Guess we need to find some good books!


Yepper - Hidey is being fed

Mema Jo said...

Not sure it is what you call
"Being fed"

Hidey is right there as soon as the bite is in the adults mouth taking it.

Mits said...

watching a House I have never seen before....

Mema Jo said...

TUG OF WAR & GUESS WHO WON!
Not Hidey this time!

Mema Jo said...

Mits - there are lots of reruns I hadn't watched - Watched a Cold Case last night for the 1st time.

Costume Lady said...

I am looking forward to NCIS...didn't get to watch it because of American Idol. Didn't tape it so I could watch reruns;)

Costume Lady said...

Gene was concerned about Belles foot. She seems to be alright today. Look on W & W and look at the way she has her foot hanging down.

gwen of s.c. said...

I messed up. My grandchildren live here in Lancaster, and I get to see them just about every day. I am so blessed. I meant that we'll all miss Hidey when she's gone. And that must have been a huge fish they are having for dinner. Love, Gwen

deb said...

Gotcha, Gwen. We will surely all miss Hidey when she fledges.

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda & Gene - there is nothing wrong with Belle's foot. That is a normal position. Eagles can stand on one foot and rest the other, much like we see the one legged osprey do so at BWO.

Speaking of which...eggs should be hatching there soon!

Was out watering, and it started sprinkling.

deb said...

I agree with Paula, and I checked a few other pictures just to be sure. In most of the pictures she has both talons on the branch.

Costume Lady said...

Thanks, Paula. Didn't know that.

paula eagleholic said...

Mits - Brensin learned early that an ear piercing scream got him attention and whatever he wanted...thank goodness he has stopped doing that!

paula eagleholic said...

So you learned something new today, Wanda! That was a great pic, I forgot to mention that! :)

I also saw Hidey doing it earlier this afternoon, perched at the back of the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, I forgot to mention I saw my first indigo bunting yesterday at the park...and I got a pic!

I turned the cam off for now, trying to work on pictures!

Costume Lady said...

It IS amazing, Paula, I learn something new almost every day on here:) The older I get, the smarter I get;)

Lynne2 said...

Hi all! Can't stay but wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and a prayer of thanks to those who gave all for our great country.... and, a Happy MemorEagle Day! I never made it to the nest on Sunday because things got out of wack as they sometimes do, but it looks you you all had fun on Saturday! Have a great and blessed night and hopefully I'll get a chance to chat tomorrow!

Costume Lady said...

Deb, your most recent photos are SUPER. Wonderful shot of the Oriole!

deb said...

It is amazing how much you learn on here.

Spidey is making an appearance.

Costume Lady said...

Guess who?!

Lynne2 said...

wow, that looked like moth antenae on the camera, but where is Hidey? I can't see her

Costume Lady said...

Lynne 2, I think that was Spidey's leg. Hidey is hiding somewhere...living up to his name;)

Lynne2 said...

oh yeah, thanks Wanda I can see it's Spidey now. And Hidey sure is living up to his name! he is still there, right...?

Costume Lady said...

You may be right, Lynne...it doesn't look quite like Spidey.

Mema Jo said...

There is Hidey at 3:00 position.
I try to spot the Feet or the Beak!
Took me awhile to find her!

deb said...

Thanks, Wanda, I put pictures from today, Marindahl Lake, and Saturday, Bacon Creek Park, on Deb's Photo's.

I think Hidey is at 2:00 o'clock, I just saw some movement there.

Costume Lady said...

I think Hidey is at the 4-5 o'clock position.

hedgie said...

Mits, I had a G&T in the Eagle Express for you!
Saw a preview of a new fall show...NCIS California or Los Angeles, or something like that!

Mema Jo said...

It is really SPIDEY!

Gabriela said...

Hidey is at 2 o'clock standing on the edge of the nest. Gave me a fright to see the nest empty but then I saw her eye blink!

Mema Jo said...

lol At least we all agree that Hidey is on the right-hand side of the nest anywhere between 2 - 5:00 position.
I'll go for 2:30 position!

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, sounds great...anything that would be a spin-off of NCIS would get my attention;)

Lynne2 said...

Ok, I saw the glint of an eye at 2 o'clock! whew! Now I've got to run so goodnight everyone!

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Lynne.

Lynne2 said...

Awww, the loon is all stretched out on the nest! REALLY LEAVING this time...bye!

Mema Jo said...

I hadn't seen BONES

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

We only got a few sprinkles...back out to water!

deb said...

I am glad we all have the right side of the nest, too! Hidey moves every once in awhile, otherwise it is hard to find her.

Mits said...

well , plumb tuckered out here....so good night everyone...thanks Lynn for the g&t...:)

Costume Lady said...

Nite, Helen.

hedgie said...

G'nite, Mits! Get rested!!

Mema Jo said...

Nite Mits!

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - on our NCIS regular show tomorrow, we should have one or more to go. Zeva is being tortured by her father's command.
They need to save her!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

I see Hidey's feet at 3:00.....
In fact she just moved them...
There are car lights beyond the nest over on the road...

Costume Lady said...

OK, Jo, good to know it is not a rerun. Love that show. We taped a few episodes, but decided to just watch the reruns.
Jo, did you watch the Snake video...if so, did you hear Michael's commentary about catching snakes and selling them for a dollar when he was a child, I guess?

hedgie said...

Posted my baby robins to my blog!
Now to work on adding Sat. pics to our album.

hedgie said...

NCIS season finale was last week.
Tomorrow is a rerun.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, I got my pics uploaded to Picasa...still have to add captions...will do that tomorrow, slam wore out again!

Gnite, all.

Hugs to all ♥

deb said...

Lynn, the baby robins are so cute!

Mema Jo said...

I wish I knew what was making that noise on our cam - I need to close it down so then I wouldn't hear it & wouldn't wonder about it.

hedgie said...

Thanks, Deb...a bit frumpy, aren't they? LOL! Going to look at your pics now.

deb said...

I am off to bed, Night everyone!

hedgie said...

Wonderful shots, Deb! Tell that Oriole to go home to Baltimore where he belongs!!!! We saw one at NCTC, too....but heard him first and by the time I found him in the foliage,he took off....don't know whether anyone else got a shot or not.

deb said...

Lynn, you are right, that is what makes them so cute! :)

deb said...

Wanda and Margy got pictures that I know of. We have lots of Baltimore and Orchard Orioles around here.

Night!

Lolly said...

What kind of noise is Hidey making?

hedgie said...

Nite-nite, Deb. Back to work tomorrow, I guess....boo!

hedgie said...

Don't have cam up, Lolly....last couple of days people have talked about "puppy" noises, but I haven't been tuned in at the right time to hear it!

Lolly said...

I can not even see him and it was a funny sound.

Costume Lady said...

I heard that too, Lolly. Saw no movement and still don't see Hidey. Maybe he was having a nightmare.

Lolly said...

Jack and I got busy today and I never got back on the blog. Went shopping for a new TV for the bedroom, also got a new fan for the patio. Got one of those tower fans with a remote. Would like a ceiling fan but it is too low. After that I worked in the yard. Another gorgeous day, warmer but still very nice.

Lolly said...

Glad that you heard it Wanda. It was strange, wasn't it?

Costume Lady said...

It sure was strange. I was sitting here paying bills and it really got my attention. I thought the stress of paying bills was escaping from my mouth:)

Costume Lady said...

Lolly how is your NEW KNEE working for you?

Mema Jo said...

What I heard earlier was like a knocking noise. I have sound turned off now. I thought it was at the mic..
Hidey had been at 3:00 most of the evening.

Costume Lady said...

I best go to bed...GeeGee has an abdominal CT scan scheduled in the morning. Poor thing, she has had everything but her toes scanned this year:(

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL and THANKFULNESS FOR A BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

hedgie said...

Going to call it a day...pics still downloading to yahoo album....may appear repetitious, but looking closely at our birds, they are in different stances!!
Rest peacefully....we are protected by our wonderful service people.
Andrea...if you check in...have a great first day in class tomorrow!

Mema Jo said...

I am heading back to bed!
Tomorrow will not seem like a TUES to me as today being a holiday seemed like a SUN.

Good Night All!
Peace to all lands!
Prayers for all our needs being said

((hugs)) ♥

Costume Lady said...

Jo, the noise that I heard was a sort of mournful warbeling. Never heard it before.

Ms Bookworm said...

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE! Just checking in really quickly to see how Hidey is doing. I believe that's her on the edge of the nest between 2:00 and 3:00. Don't see Spidey yet tonight. Looks like all is well! Prayers for a good night's rest for all, and thanks for a shorter work week starting tomorrow, and for our many blessings. Good night! :o]

Ms Bookworm said...

Thanks, Hedgie! That reminds me, I have to call the school tomorrow morning to see what my tentative class schedule will be. I think they want me to take English, Keyboarding, Medical Terminology, and Medical Instruments. There may be a schedule clash on Thursdays with 2 of the classes, so they may change that. Got to go buy books tomorrow, too! (Helps to know my schedule first for that one!)I'm sure it'll get worked out... I wish I could've heard the new sounds Hidey is making! I keep missing them. Maybe sometime tomorrow. Have a good night, and will talk to you tomorrow. :o]

Lolly said...

Wanda, got lost on facebook. LOL My knee is doing great. That shot really worked. When I do my exercises I put on my knee support, but other than that it is doing great. Plan to hike next month in Colorado.

Warble....good discription of what I heard.

I am going to bath now. Nite all!

Sweet dreams!

movin said...

Well, I'm pretty sure he's on the nest, but nothing of Hidey is visible now. But every year they find a spot that's just off camera enough to get everybody excited.....

The Spirit Eagles are encircling the nest tonight again though.

I haven't had a chance to check out Pete's Pond and the Otter yet, wonder how long a small pond will support that big guy.

I hope you had a great Memorial Day. Mine was good.

** GOOD NIGHT **

** EVERYoNE **

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning! I can hear Hidey this morning but can't see her!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Hidey is really navigating around that nest with ease, flying from one edge to the other!!!

Costume Lady said...

Costume Lady said...

Costume Lady said...
It is raining pretty steady here, now and, 57°. Hidey is soaked and doesn't look very happy. It will probably rain off and on all day. WE REALLY NEED THE RAIN! Our veggies and my floweres are dancing in the rain (they must have learned that from Megan)...;)

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 7:14:00 AM

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning Wanda! We are getting a steady rain here too. I still need to plant a few more flowers, being sick put me behind a tad. Maybe Wednesday, looks that will be the first sunny day.

Costume Lady said...

Having a health problem can put you so far behind in everything:(
Since I got my last cortosone shot, I have been trying to play catch-up. Not catching up as quickly as I'd like.

Mits said...

morning everyone...rain and wind in OC today..have a good one.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning Mits! How long you gonna be in OC?

Lori O. said...

Hey Eagle Mommies!

Good morning. Hidey spent the night standing on the edge of his nest again.

Where is everyone this morning?

Well, I hope you'll be checking in soon with details of a great weekend.

I was so great to meet some of you on Saturday. I still have a smile on my face!

Mits said...

Glad you had a good time Lori.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everybody. Lori, it was great meeting you too! Mits, you were sorely missed!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I hope Hidey's perching stick is embedded good in the nest because you can see her tail through the space underneath it.

deb said...

The Kestrel chicks aren't white fuzz balls anymore. They have a lot of their feathers in now.

Mits said...

missed you all too, Sharon

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!

normabyrd said...

don't know why I can't get it all of a sudden

normabyrd said...

DEB---Must ask---are your arms sore from yesterday's kayaking!!---I KNOW YOU ALL HAD FUN!!!

deb said...

*****BREAKING NEWS*******
The loon just got off the nest and there is a definite HOLE in the end of the egg!

AND there is definitely MOVEMENT inside that egg!

WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE CHICK THAT IS TRYING TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE WORLD!!

Mits said...

guess I'll be Loon watching today:)

hedgie said...

Good rainy morning all! Sure hope Hidey doesn't choose today to try to fly the coop---he'll be weighted down by wet wings!
Hey, Megan....you don't have to water today (except maybe in the GH!).
Flood watches listed for lots of metro areas....be careful out there.

deb said...

They were a little soar yesterday, Norma. We had to paddle into the wind all the way back to the dock.

normabyrd said...

LARRY predicted it would HATCH today!!

deb said...

soar=sore, oops! The lake isn't that big, so we didn't have to go far, but it seemed like every stroke forward, the wind sent you back 1/2 stroke.

Mits said...

putting the loon cam on full screen, makes you feel like you are sitting right in the nest;)

normabyrd said...

WHOA! DEB!---I got your drift!!--ho!

Mits said...

big day for PA eyasses tomorrow....

On Wednesday, May 27th, the Dept. of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania Game Commission will host the annual Peregrine Falcon Banding Event at the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, PA from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Teachers and their students, non-formal educators and youth organizations are invited to attend this event. Activities will include the weighing, examination and banding of the nestlings. There is no cost to attend the banding event.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All!
Blustery and rainy here in the valley!
Large limb down in the yard!

Oh My Goodness - Sharon I see what you mean about the perch Hidey has chosen!

deb said...

Good one, Norma!

Helen, full screen is great with the loon, you can watch the feathers move with each breath. I hadn't ever gone to full screen there.

normabyrd said...

I was wondering if she is looking for her mate----Haven't seen him for a while---

Mits said...

LOON CAM

normabyrd said...

I am getting nervous!!----I think BIG BIRD is going to try---I thought she was going a min ago!
(she is going to make me grey before my time)----ho!

normabyrd said...

FOGGY DAY in LOON LAKE!!

Mits said...

was supposed to be going back today, but think I will now wait till June 4th, have to be back in town by the 5th...got things to do down here.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Mits, you are a mind reader! I was just getting ready to ask for the link!

normabyrd said...

SISSY---You will love this site!!---When little one is born---he starts riding on Dad's back---so COOL!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That is exactly the bird we keep seeing at the lake, can swim forever under water! We were just in awe of it!

Mema Jo said...

Hidey starting to exercise those wings!

normabyrd said...

SISSY----It is the COMMON LOON!---I thought you knew that----because I remembered you had mentioned you had this same loon at your lake!!
COOL!!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

If she would fly out while flapping those wings crazy-like, I am pretty sure that would be an unintentional flight.

Mema Jo said...

I agree with that, Sharon.
Did Hidey just find the 'leftovers' or was it new food. I was watching the loon.

Mits said...

yes, isn't it to early to fledge at 10 weeks, doesn't even look ready to me.

Mits said...

loon is going to drive us looney today, evey time I look it is just sitting there.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Right Norma, but I didn't realize that is the same kind ya'll have been watching! Very cool!!

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' MEMA JO!---she was moving over on the edge---a min ago --slipped--thought this is it!!! BUT SHE GRABBED THE RIM!!---(another grey hair)--ho!

Mits said...

watchin Oregon mom with her little one;)

Mema Jo said...

OK Fancy Feet! Hang on!

Mema Jo said...

WOW! Heart stopped beating on that
jump!

Mema Jo said...

Raining again at the nest.

I hope Hidey comes on up as the
Cam Ham and gives everyone her
Garbled Warble sound.

normabyrd said...

DEB!---I think the KESTRELS look like 'lil' indians---the strip across their back looks like a indian feather!! ho!

normabyrd said...

must watch!---thanks--MITS!

normabyrd said...

MITS---Did you see her feeding the chick?----Now she is on her nest--I didn't get to see the chick---

hedgie said...

Wow, Mits, you can't possibly have that much work to do down there!!! Me thinks you are waiting for nice weather to return so you can enjoy beach R&R!!!! That's another 10 days...lucky girl!!
How did you get the translation on the Finney message? My translator doesn't have Finnish!! Sure is strange that this would happen in the middle of the season....drat.

Mits said...

I used goggle translation...have not been here for 8 months, need to go through closets, did just a run thru last week. got people coming in from Ariona middle of June...weather does not look good all this week

deb said...

Off to work, bbl.

Mits said...

did not see a feeding Norma, just chick peeking out from under

normabyrd said...
