Thanks much for the new thread, Steve, and thanks to Ceil for the notice.
I mentioned at the end of the other thread that the BW cams are up again.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
They are usually not down for long.
Saw the BWO osprey this morning. I do have a hard time seeing it. I think they need new cams.
I very seldom do this but I think I need a panda nap. BBL
Thinking of Dana and hoping for good news on Ed.
Oh, I would love a panda nap but got to get work done first.
Jim, right---didn't mean to say that Gordon was on I love Lucy, just on The Lucille Ball Show(s). Remember Ann Sothern, but not that particular show, and all the others y'all mentioned except Marion Lorne....who (s)he????
Welk was my grandparents' fav----I got stuck watching it many a Sat.(?) night...did like The Lennon Sisters and Bobby and was it Myron ?Flores?
Glad you took the photos of Justin, Bluefield gang.
Wanda, your garden sounds like it will be bountiful.
Thank you Ceil and BUSY STEVE!
Yes, Ceil...stil praying for a good outcome for Ed. Seems that couple have more health problems than they can handle. Glad they look to the Lord for the strength to handle it all.
I did take a panda nap after lunch!!! Terrible....don't know if I will ever get used to doing that! Could never nap before I retired----would always end up w/ a splitting headache...not now!! Guess it's one of those well-deserved rewards now that we don't have to "punch the clock" anymore!
I'm not sure who Jim was speaking of. Maybe Myrna Loy, actress?
My Mom and Dad were fortunate enough to travel to Las Vegas and see many stars that were popular in the 60's. They had friend who lived there and they visited every year. They particularly liked Lawrence Welk show with the Lennon Sisters (they were able to meet an talk with them). I guess that is why she enjoys them so much now. They also saw Elvis, Humperdinct, Sinatra, S. Davis and many others. It was the highlight of their lives.
Just brought the cam up and heard all kinds of squealing.
Hidey Hi
Hidey Ho
Getting my eagle fix
Yeah, Hidey is in the nest!
I see Hidey, too!!
Looks like chow time, but between breeze, shadows and blob, hard to tell what exactly.
I was just reading on the other blog all the talk about Lawrence Welk. He is from North Dakota and Myron Floren was from Roslyn, SD.
Hidey just took off.
And poof!
Adult just landed.
Lib looking around the nest
thanks for the call over Ceil, and new thread, Steve. Lunch was great, went to BB&B and got a Shark floor cleaner...have to go out for awhile BBL
And gone that fast. It was a silent landing.
Yes, you would have missed him if you hadn't been watching!
Thanks, Deb...I was close on Myron's last name. Whoa...always thought Welk was from Minnesota! Thanks for that info, too.
Lynn, if he weren't from SD, I wouldn't know it either!
All caught up!
Paula, glad you had a great weekend with CHIL group.
Justin, I am so sorry for what happened to you! I hope you keep feeling better!
Dana and Ed, sure hope the test go well!
Can't you just hear that Champaigne Music from the begining of the show in your ears? Da, Dada, Dadaa, Dat, Dum, Dum...Sorry I know I can't sing:)
Do Kestrels have two batches a year, I wonder? There has been a Kestrel in the nest both yesterday and today. It looks like she is on eggs again.
I will have to check again when I get home from work.
BBL
Missed Hidey visit, but hear clunking sounds near the mic.
Been planting stuff outside--2 lavenders to go,but have to get lime---brutal in the sun even tho there is a breeze.
I think Marion Lorne
played "Richie's" Mom on Happy Days.
Hi, you guys,
I'm back, after sending out some resumes to keep the EDD happy. Got to go and mail my continued claim form back to them now, but thought I'd stop by here first.
Sorry to hear that Gale Storm has passed away-- used to watch her show as a kid. Charles Farrell was the actor who co-starred with her.
Used to watch the Ann Southern show, too. I think it was Don Porter who played her boss.
I remember Marion Lorne! She was a real character; used to get all 'flustered'. Think she had a British accent; older lady with big eyes and curly hair. She was on the 'Mr. Peepers' show with Wally Cox and I think Tony Randall, then later was on 'Bewitched'.
Myron Floren's brother, Dewey, who wasn't in show biz, used to do car repairs at a Mobil station a couple of blocks from our house. Don't know what became of him, but the gas station changed hands a couple of times, and we lost track of him.
He was really a nice guy, and a car repairman you could actually trust. Sorry he's not there anymore.
Any news from DANA & ED?----have been anxious to hear!
Nope, Lowreeda...that was Marion Ross!
Cool, Andrea!! Even the famous have nice relatives!! More so back then, I bet, than now!!
Good Evening ALL in Eagleland.
I haven't had a chance to read comments. Just woke up and started some food. Neither one of us slept too much last night. Came home and out we went.
Wanted to come on and THANK YOU ALL FOR PRAYERS. The procedure went very well. The team had been worried for a week. Which of course we didn't know until this morning. The nodule is on the inside of lung on the back wall not the side. Really hard to get too with the ribs and area it was.
But GOD GOT THEM THERE AND THEY GOT 3 TISSUE SAMPLES FROM IT. So we should hear something in 1 to 3 days.
The only tears I have gotten are the ones remembering prayers are going and have been going up. I know this has been a long prayer session. I am still asking for continual prayer.
I can not tell you all how much comfort you give me just knowing that you are praying for us.
Ed did very well. There was some blood but they were able to aspirate that out of the lung. He just needs to rest and take it easy for 24 hrs.
Tee hee he is already talking about going to get a hair cut tomorrow.
Thank you so much HUGS HUGS HUGS TO YOU ALL.
I'll try to get back on later....thank you again for the comfort of your prayers.
Thank you so much Dana for letting us know that your day went well and go ahead and take that man of yours for his haircut tomorrow! Continued prayers for sure! ((hugs))
HIDEY AND ADULT WERE IN NEST, ADULT JUST DEPARTED. hIDEY STILL THERE
Thanks DANA!!---BLESS YOU!---great to hear that all went well---WILL KEEP SENDING THOSE PRAYERS!----Give my love to ED!---W/talk tomorrow---have book club tonight!!!---love ya!
Hi everyone! Hidey's in the nest so who's making that noise at the cam? Could the wind be that strong?
Also, what's the temp at the nest site? Sorry, lots of questions, but I just signed in to check on Hidey and wondered if it's very hot since s/he looks like s/he's panting.
God bless,
Dana, so relieved to hear that the procedure went smoothly. Will continue to pray that the results are good. Hope you don't have to wait too long to know. You go ahead and cry, girl!!! It's good to relieve the tension. Hugs for you and Mr. Ed!

Dana, happy to hear that the procedure is over. Will continue to think about you and Ed and say prayers for you all.
God bless,
Shirley
Thanks hedgie. I'm in PA and our weather is certainly not like WV or any other part of the country.
In fact, we're having lower than normal temps - hasn't hit 90 degrees in June, so far. I remember the triple digits at this time of year in 1966 - I had my second child in 107 degrees! There was no a/c in patients' rooms then. It's still a record.
Dana, SOOOO relieved that all went well for you and Ed today! Will keep on praying. Hope Ed recovers from the procedure really quickly, and is feeling much better now. God bless you both!
So happy to see Hidey for a bit, but had to run to the Post Office right away. Now that I'm back, gotta run and get some quick dinner, take a shower, and zoom off to school-- Keyboarding tonight.
If I get home early enough, will be back later tonight. Take care, all!
TTFN :o]
Nice videos on the BWE site. On the one the eaglet looks up into the cam.
Thanks for checking on the still cam, Steve. I use it instead of keeping the live feed up all the time, then turn on the live feed when there's an eagle in the nest.
How is everyone this evening?
Nature - I have heard of that lavender place you went to in Fairfield. Right up the road from here.
Dana - glad all went well, hope Ed recovers quickly.
Hello everyone,
Late in the day but thanks Steve.
I remember all the folks from the television programs. Seeing their names sure brings back memories. I think the Ann Sothern thing were the very long dark lashes and the large dark lips -- that's what I remember. Was supposed to be glamorous back then, I think.
Saw Hidey earlier really giving adult the what-for. Can't blame adult for taking off.
Bookworm: all the best with tests this week. Hoping for aces all round.
Ed and Dana: happy to know the procedure went smoothly and prayers for a positive outcome.
Also hope Justin is mending quickly.
Last night a deer came to visit but sadly had a broken leg. Problem we have in my area is the construction of new hot lanes which has taken away much territory around the creek and the deer are being forced to move inward for food. Broke my heart because it was so beautiful to watch eating the seed put out for the birds and squirrels. Am having to teach Thumper not to eat my garden.
I hear Hidey.
Best to all,
Judie
I just read in a magazine that Lavendar has legandary mood-boosting powers. It's oils absorb into your skin, in your bloodstream, goes to your brain, and says, 'Everything is going to be okay.' You can also make a tea out of it.
I see Hidey munching away on something.
Lavender . . . we lived in a house in the city for awhile where there were lavender plants that had been there for years. It was beautiful and attracted lots of bumblebees. They seemed to love it.
It was fine, except it was on either side of the walk and it was a little scary to walk through all of those bees. Have you all noticed bumblebees in lavender?
What does Hidey have?
Hidey is at 2 munching away!
Looks like fish
There is some big white thing at about 11:00--Did Hidey bring that in?
Wanda, G&T gives me the same effect
That is a piece of bark from the tree, it curls and peels off and falls off
Hidey finishing fish with dessert waiting at 11.
Forgot: more sadness for Red Line train - man jumped in front of a train this afternoon - died - more delays for passengers - will have to email sympathy to my Metro detectives as they have had a horrible week.
Judie
they sure have Judie....I really like DC's metro...
Hidey is looking full!
My Suzi and Hunter rode the Red Line last week without any problems. I had not heard about today's events. Sad.
You can make tea from bark, also;)
Poof went Hidey
Suzi said it was so crowded that she had to push Hunter into the train and the poor kid was smashed in between all the adults--standing room only. He did not like that part, but it did not last long. Not many 8 year olds on the Metro at rush hour.
Doubt Hidey is into making tea!
ROFLMBO, Helen! G&T probably tastes better than Lavender tea, too.
I don't use the red line but have used the orange line for over 20years with only two or three short delays in all those years. Did have to attend a faculty meeting today and when I boarded the train I have to admit I gave the crash some thought. Still, I truly believe with the crazy drivers and traffic volume around here the train is still safer. One of the things I had to get used to is having the police students leave mid-class because called to a crime scene. Most people don't realize how affected cops are by the crimes they work -- tough on the job but real caring people underneath all the professional training. Some of the nicest people I have ever met.
Judie
Seems Hidey is poof.
Lib and Belle were just arguing over food.
I'm sure what you say about cops is true, Judie. If you ever have watched the "Cops" show, you will see what all they have to go through. And that is only the traffic division. Boy do they get bent out of shape if something happens to one of their own! Just like we Momsters;)
I thought it looked like a turtle. "Lib, would you like some tea with that?"
I like Metro, too. Feel that the press is hyping the bad and ignoring all of the good and the benefits. Compare it to other transit systems, and use rider opinion...bet it would win 1st place! I think it's clean; there's no homeless people living in the stations, and there's not a high crime level on the trains. That all counts for a lot!
Lynn, don't look at the nest, Spidey is showing himself;)
No, Wanda, I practically never look after the infrared comes on!!
Of course I watch some cop shows and Law & Order, etc. because my undergraduate students in the crime class are always asking me about them and I have to convince them that a career in law enforcement is NOT like t.v.-- try forgetting a homicide scene or decomposed bodies! As for taking care of their own, detectives in a night class refused to let me take the train home when there was a rapist active near my station stop. I got to ride in a real unmarked cruiser in the front seat without wearing handcuffs. They really are caring people. I think Metro is the best in the U.S. Aging, like me, but still the best.
Judie
I like that: Aging, but still the best;)
I am home from work, glad to see Hidey in the nest. I hear people cheering! I wonder if that is the conference Steve is involved with. I don't remember the date for it.
BTW, Sharon, my Karla is home from the beach. We can like her now:)
You are one funny gal...crack me up!
June 28 to July 2 for the conference.
Two eggs in the Kestrel box. The date on Cam is correct. I have some reading to do on how many hatchings they have.
They are 9th to 12th grader, enjoying themselves.
It must be a rerun of the season, I didn't find anything about having more than one brood. I didn't think they did, but I wanted to check the facts.
Coming on to say hello - busy getting some things ready for a tomorrow morning get together for the Germany Gang with those they haven't seen yet.
This will be there last full week here. I think Ryan is also coming up from GA this holiday weekend for a few days. I sure wish the 2 Army guys could spend some time with each other. It may happen. I'll be back to say good night - It is a beautiful evening outside & the sky is clear and moon is so bright!
Hello Jo . . . will have to go take a look at the moon.
Here is a story on how they get the fireworks ready on Mount Rushmore:
Mt Rushmore
saw the moon in front of the condo this afternoon, it has been a beautiful day here at the beach...signing off for the night..good night everyone:)
that was interesting Deb....also Ceil told us to go to BWE to see all the neat videos of the two eaglets there, some good stuff
both O's at FINNEY'S NEST
I'll check them out, but I may wait until tomorrow. It is my day off and I will catch up then. Thanks for letting my know!
Okay, sounds pretty good on here. Flowers, animals, birds, G&T's, good report from Dana - and some Eagle sightings.
Wanda - the cows have been moved across the street in preparation for the July 4 Fireworks. Dr. T. always calls and tells us at work that he is doing that.
xoxo Hi Everyone
I wasn't napping ALL this time, got a call that the grandson was going to be in Martinsburg so had some unexpected kid fun to go with my night off ☺
Yes, Dana and Ed, I am sure glad the procedure went well today, definitely praying for good results.
What a strange noise on our cam just now....
I heard it, too, Margy, but after the other day when I thought the music was coming from the cam, I am waiting for someone else to confirm it.
Margy, glad they got the cows out of the way. Lets us know that the fireworks are going to be at the same place.
Having BBQ Ribs this year. I think Helen is healed up enough now that I won't feel bad about eating ribs;)
Come join us!
I am falling asleep in my chair, time to read for awhile and head for bed.
Night, everyone. Glad you got your kid time in today, Margy!
Night Deb...Sweet Dreams.
G'night, Mits and Deb! Are you heading home tomorrow, Mits?
Hi again, folks.
Wanda, sounds yummy! Think that nice police officer will visit again ????
Lynn - in regards to a much much earlier comment, well, I guess I COULD get fired, if it was a felony, as some of those charges down South were, I think...but I think with a misdemeanor I could stay on. Guess it would not be wise to test the waters though...
Time for the bubbles, got sticky with ice cream cone and general play dirt tonight.
Good Night to those heading for the pillows!
and I will catch some of you a little later on.
I hear a chopper, wonder if it is coming this way....will know in a few short minutes
xox
I am heading for the pillow very shortly
Good Night All
Prayers of thankfulness and for our needs being said.
((hugs)) ♥
Night, Jo!! We love you.
Margy, when does your vacation start? Amtrak adventure sounds really cool!! Bet James is excited.
Lynn, my vacation starts at one minute after midnight on July 11 - and I return to work at midnight the night of Sunday July 19. We will probably take MARC commuter to Washington, then Amtrak up and down to Springfield, Mass, leaving Monday and returning Friday probably. We have been talking about it for a year! My sister there has a son 8 years old and a daughter 6.
I've been putting back some dough for it for several months now. To drive, would take 10 hours, not a good idea, just him and me.
I want to say hello in advance to anyone who jumps on late. And to ALL, I apologize that I can't keep up with all the comments and doings...I read them and enjoy hearing what everyone is doing but I don't always get a chance to comment on it. ☺
Once I get started I seem to eat up a lot of Blog space....so sometimes I try to be "conservative."
Ha Ha, not my strong suit!
Train is an excellent way to enjoy each other. You will be free to point out places and things of interest without running off the road and your food and bathroom is right there. I'm excited for you and James. It will be fun to see your photos;)
Just opened up the Black Stork nest site (Kurepesa) for the first time this year...it is dreamy!
Don't need to comment, Margy, just enjoy. Of course, if someone asks you a question, you darn well BETTER comment!:)
10-4 First Mate ! I'll do my best...! ☺
Don't want y'all coming after me with your Eagle Canes !
Yes, Wanda, and where we are going is fantastic! 17 acres in the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts. I think I better go ahead and get a new photo card for the camera! ☺
You will be surprised to see how much my sister and I look alike, practically like twins, we are six years apart...
Tubby time...will check back before I hit the hay.
Sandman is calling me loud and clear.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL AND THANKS GIVEN
FOR PRAYERS ANSWERED.
GOOD NIGHT FROM LOLLY:)
And now my wonderful friends, I have to get some things ready for mailing at the post office in the morning.
So I'll say Sayonara for now, and will be watching for some Night Owls Later.
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ☺ ♥
Big Whoops! Make that granchildren, age 8 and 6 - !!!
17 acres ANYWHERE, sounds fantastic! Yes, it is beautiful country up that way...it is a beautiful trip.
Nite.
Helllllooooo! We are on our way home. Today we traveled down central Colorado. Tonight we are at Canon City/Royal Gorge. Boys are in bed, Laurel and Jack are at the showers. We have had a fantatic time. I am especially proud of Jacob and me! LOL We both made the 5 1/2 mile hike to Loch Vale and back. WoooWeee! That is some hike for a 4 year old and a 65 year old. We did good! And coming down we were in a pouring rain. Not a dry stitch on us. LOL After the hike we went into Estes Park and did laundry ande had hot showers. Heavenly! Have not checked the blog. Anything I should know?
Probably will not be able to get back on until we ae home. Plan to be home Wed. Talk with you later! Lolly
LOLLY...so good to hear from you and to hear that you are having a great trip! You are the WOMAN of the month!! Don't forget to take your Motrin!!! Will look forward to hearing all the details and seeing your pics!!! Safe journey home. Hi to Jack!
Goodnight, dear friends. Peace and prayers.
Wow ! Lolly !
That is Great ! Sorry I missed you....
Looking forward to your return ♥
Good Night Lynn ☺

Good morning eagle friends!
Good morning, Sissy..
Margy, when you get on, what is this bright planet in the eastern sky, it is so bright is is shining on the ocean.
Lynn, in answer to last nights' question, coming home Thursday
going back to bed:)
Morning Mits, bet I missed ya!! Sleep tight, see you after while!
Sorry I missed you Mits - The brightest object in the Eastern morning sky around this time now would be Venus, and maybe you can see Mars too, fainter in brightness, and more orange....more or less directly overhead of Venus....
I am sleepwalking. going back to bed too.
Sissy are you still here ?
Well,our little baby bird is making SOME ruckus this morning!!!!
Got tired of talking to herself,flew down a couple of branches
That baby in the Finland nest all but disappears. I have to really look hard to see it. I reckon that is the goal huh? Hard for predators to see too. It is so beautiful! I haven't seen hide nor feather of Hidey this morning!
Well, looks like I missed magpie and Bill, as well as Hidey. I forget to refresh the cam sometimes! Hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Work distracts me from what is important sometimes. I think I do hear an eagle in the distance a bit.
GOOD MORNNG EAGLE BUDDIES!---I had a REAL TREAT this am---looked out the window---a deer--then all of a sudden---This little 'wobbly legged' fawn---came running down to MOM---so many spots on her little back---she looks like she is wearing a polka-dot blanket!!---aah!--NATURE is AWESOME!! --- over slept---but it is a glorious sunny blue sky am here in WILD & WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA--birds chirping!---flowers blooming--LIFE IS GOOD!---ED'S good report--note from "WONDER WOMAN"--LOLLY--WOW!!--5 1/2 miles!!---DEB--getting a day off--MARGIE planning a train ride with grandson---SHARON'S JUSTIN is BLUEFIELD'S photographer!!---HOW COOL IS THAT?----Let us all dance & give thanks---REJOICE & wait for the yell of our 'BABY' screaming MINE--MINE!!

Good morning, my eagle budlets. I think my flickers have fledged. :(
SISSY---I agree the FINLAND MOM'S OSPREY chicks are really camouflaged in that nest!!---She just gave me that 'don't you need more coffee' look!!----ho!--my favorite site!!
Good Morning I am up and at 'em!

Morning gang:)
I bet those flickers won't go far, and you should be able to find them in the yard. The parents will still be feeding them.
Baby mocker is right outside the house, parent still feeding it all day long. It is a noisy little bugger.
MORNIN' MEMA JO!---You are always always preparing food!!---My kind of GRANNY!!--wish I could join you folks for brunch!!---Maybe next year!---ENJOY--LAUGH & BE HAPPY!--
MORNIN' MEGAN!---Has your little one returned from the beach?---bet your place is a bit noisy!---so many bird solos--in unison---beautiful sound on a sunny June morning!---
Hey Norma, yep, they came back Sunday evening. And yes, I am usually awakened by the sound of birds singing every morning:)
WOW!--The cool BURROWING OWLS are out!-----but the BLUE HERONS are a rerun? ho!----
I am thinking there must be a hawk nearby because not a creature is stirring out here anywhere.
I am still in awe of the FAWN I saw this am in the lawn!---Wouldn't you love to hug one?---ho!
They are so fragile looking!! AWESOME!
OK, just spent a joyous 24 minutes on the phone with AT&T trying to straighten out phone bill, the second time in 2 weeks, and now I'm off to the AT&T store to get kid's phone replaced, again....Just about had enough of AT&T, and the feeling is probably mutual at this time, I don't have much patience left.
Have a great day everybody!
I may need an eagle cane.....
I am so glad you saw the fawn this morning Normabyrd. They are so precious.
MEGAN---YOU GO GIRL!!---FULL SPEED AHEAD!!
I have what looks like a cedar waxwing in the top of the flicker tree. It is funny, I can all these different birds out here and if there is one different, I can spot it immediately.
Justin will be with his mother today so I haven't heard anything yet this morning. Everybody's well wishes yesterday just tickled him and made him feel so special. Mattie stayed with me last night. She is still in the bed.
Good morning, everyone. It looks like I might have a beautiful day off ahead of me. off to start some laundry and feed the dogs!
Good Morning! I think the blogger monster ate my first greeting.
WHOA! SHARON---Tell JUSTIN--I wish he had been here---he could have taken a picture for me!---The MOM was with her!!---
My mockingbird friend was just sitting on the chimney going though his routine. The music comes out of the fireplace.
DEB----FUN TIME TODAY--for you!!!---have WELLNESS CTR--running late--
SISSY---The OSPREY MOM at the FINLAND site is beautiful!!!!---I think she just gave me the 'don't you need more coffee' look!--I could see 2 chicks--the 3rd must be on the other side!!
I know, normabyrd. She is so beautiful. We haven't seen them at the lake yet this year, maybe we will this weekend!!
Good Tues. AM to all. Overcast here....rain on the way by lunchtime, forecaster says.
I have been watching a yearling buck w/ cute little velvet spikes...he was working on what's left of the salt lick. He was watching me, too...so didn't try to get camera...I just stood perfectly still for about 15 min. before he wandered away. So lovely!

update on NZ red pandas....
Red Pandas – the pool has been dropped in the red panda yard as a pre-(possible)birth preparation . We still don’t know if she’s pregnant or not but we’re taking precautions as if she is. The walkway in front of the red panda yard will be closed off some time this week as well to reduce stress. We are also planning on putting up those black boards on the windows again so Shama won’t see her reflection and think another panda is there. We’ve seen some pacing in front of the windows again that suggests it’s bothering her. The window for possible birth if she is pregnant is the month of July. We’ll let you know if we find out any more. . .
Do you recall how old the Maine chicks are, Jim? Have they fledged yet? I have not been watching them in a long time!
The Maine 2 chicks hatched on May 7 and May 9.
Oh, Mits, let's hope this isn't another disappointment!!! Glad that all precautions are being instituted.
Thanks, Deb! Still nestbound babies!!
All right now, the daytime bandit has struck and I have to go back to bed. Have a 12-hour shift coming up at 6 pm tonight. :(
Great reports of all the birds (except Sharon's Flickers fledging! Hope they return often! )
Mockinbirds! One of my favorite birds. At night-time at the office, I can step outside and hear a whole forest and meadow full of bird songs.
Good to see so many cheery greetings. Rain tonight, - woof - we need it but some friends of mine are going to a ballgame in either Washington or Baltimore...Sigh for them....
Hope the afternoon and the rest of the West Coast Morning is a good one for everyone. See you in a few hours.
Deb Hope you enjoy being "retired" for the day. ☺
I have yet to see my first Fawn, Norma ....or a buck in velvet, Hedgie.
Afternoon to those in Eagleland
Need to read comments.
Did see when scrolling down that Sharon's flickers fledged. I love the slideshow.
Mr. Ed went for his haircut himself. Took my phone with him. He should be flustered by the time he gets back. With all the oxygen changes; which I usually do for him. He doesn't really every use my phone..poor man.
It might be a great experience for him, Dana -
Maybe he is getting ready for Independence Day !
Not to worry....he should be fine, and he has YOU to come home to ♥
TTFN xoxo
Just had a heavy downpour here, looks like maybe more showers coming, I hope so. We need rain, so don't complain, remember, into each life some rain must fall ♫♪♫
Good morning/afternoon, eagle buddies!
Have sort of skimmed through some of the blog-- Sharon & Jo, it's the continuing saga of "All My Flickers"! Let's hear you say "fledged flickers" 10 times in a row, really fast! LOL :oD
Stronghunter, if you ever tire of your 'mockingbird fireplace', you can send it to me! I LOVE mockers! They've got spunk! (And, just like me, they often can't sleep at night!)
Dana, so glad Mr. Ed had enough get-up-and-go to get his haircut by himself! Way to go! (Don't worry-- he'll just appreciate your help that much more by the time he's home!) Continued prayers for you guys-- we're all in this together.
Yes Margy I believe with all the stress he has been under. Out on his own for awhile today. Will probably reset his lifes routine.
Your right there Megan we do need the rain...no complaints here. Not even when I have to go out in it later today. ( :
I'm going to take a little nap while hubby is gone. Phone is right beside my bed. He'll be ok with his short day out.
Whoa....big boomers...shutting down for now! Stay safe, everyone.
Darn, looks like the rest of storms are passing me by...off to water the gardens.
Boy, I'm really jealous of the weather you guys are having at the nest! I love it when it rains! It's been way too hot for me in SoCal lately. Sunday's heat nearly did me in! Seems much better today, so far. :o]
Wow-- had a great night at school last night! My typing speed is up to 55 wpm! Jumped about 10 wpm in one week! All the practice is paying off-- I had not typed anything lengthy in over a year, and was really rusty. 5 more wpm, and I don't think I'll have to take any more Keyboard classes. That would be awesome-- leaves more time for the really good stuff!
Andrea, that is great. Practice makes perfect.
GOOD AFTERNOON...
Not a drop of rain at my place. Lynn and Megan both had some..just passed me by. I'll have to water my garden too. Then it will rain:)
Andrea, you are just taking that medical course by storm!! So happy that it is working out for you. Keep up the good work;)
Thanks, Sharon,
You're right! Practice makes a big difference. Now today I have to concentrate on studying for an exam in Human Diseases-- chapters on all the senses-- including touch, senses of pressure, pain, body position, and kinesthesia, and on the endocrine system & hormones.
Needless to say, I just went and got a new cup of coffee. Glad I slept in a bit this morning!
Costume Lady,
Thanks for the encouraging words, and thanks, too for reminding me to go water my patio plants! It's not going to be a scorcher here today, but in the low to mid-80s, so they will be thirsty.
By the way, I bought some Coleus seeds the other day. Has anybody ever started Coleus from seed? I'm wondering if I need to start them indoors, or if I can plant them outside where I want them (in a large pot on my front porch). There's certainly no danger of frost, and the pot's on the north side of the house where it only gets partial, filtered sunlight. I think it should be OK, but if there's a Coleus expert in the group, I'd appreciate some advice. I've never tried them from seed before.
Andrea . . . congrats on all of your progress.
West VA folks . . . wonder if you're sending me thunderstorms. It looks like something is building up outdoors.
I think I'll keep my mockingbirds. They are spirited little guys.
When I taught freshmen, we read "To Kill a Mockingbird." The first thing I had to do was convince the boys that I was not going to teach them HOW to kill mockingbirds. In fact, Atticus told the children that it was a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Thanks, Stronghunter,
and I don't blame you for keeping the mockingbirds. I'm hoping that the ones I have this year will stick around. They're so fearless I'm afraid our hawks will get them!
Gee, what's up with the cam? Mine keeps freezing, and I'm getting the dreaded barber pole! Be back in a sec-- will try to fix it.
Thought I heard Hidey in the distance a little while ago, but by the time I got the cam working, there was no sign of him. Did anyone else hear our Hidey?
Andrea, I grew coleus years ago in a shady spot in my backyard. I do not remember if I planted it from seeds or not, but it grew happily.
But I am not an expert on growing plants. Megan probably knows all about coleus.
I don't see Hidey. Barber pole is spinning away. Sometimes I cover it up. It could make you crosseyed.
Normabyrd,
Your fawn story reminds me of the time my parents and I stayed at Yosemite one year...about 50+ years ago-!!! We were in one of the housekeeping cabins, and a deer with a huge rack in velvet kept wanting to come into our cabin! He seemed totally tame, but we were afraid that if he came indoors and then got spooked, that would be a disaster! The squirrels and the birds were totally fearless, too. We had Steller jays landing on us to beg for seeds! No WONDER I love that place.
Hidey is nearby!
I think Hidey just landed above the camera-- I definitely heard him. Now it sounds like a bit of a tap dance up there. Quiet now, though. Did anyone else hear that?
Yes .. . I heard a landing and a little "peep." Now I hear movements.
Hey, Hidey! C'mon down! (You little imp!)
...Pleez, Hidey? Come on, I need my Hidey fix for the day, then I gotta get really busy. ;o]
Hidey is being very quiet.
