Thanks Megan!
You never let us down ☺

Mema Jo said...

Is the Pumpkin Patch now finished, Megan?

Time to cut the greens OR do you have some time off?

Mema Jo said...

That was the 2nd HR for Werth in this game......

floralgirl said...

Yep, friday was my last day. Now I have to plant some bulbs and then get set up to cut greens.

magpie said...

Bet his family is proud!
Hey, if folks don't set their clocks back they are going to be EARLY not LATE for things.

Wasn't that cool that Dana was on for a bit this morning....
Now, What did our Deb do today on her day off ??

Better say Good Night..it is time for rest..

God Bless Us, Every One

Mema Jo said...

I hope Deb was out enjoying the day by taking some pics or paddling her kayak.

Megan do I just uproot the salvia & plant new ones next spring?

floralgirl said...

Yep, Jo.

PA Nana said...

Tis time for sleep and my cat, Missy, is hanging around my printer for me to get done. Her brother, Bandit (my avatar)sleeps wherever he likes, but not with me. Missy usually sleeps with me in my recliner sometime during the night.

Hope all have pleasant dreams, enjoy that extra hour of sleep, and are healthy come morning to enjoy the day.

Prayers for all wants/needs.

Mema Jo said...

I hope you have a restful sleep Diann
and that you feel good upon waking.

I am ready to say
Good Night All
Peace to you and yours
Prayers for All
(((hugs))) ♥

Nite Megan!

EAGLE OUR NEST

ceil said...

TWO EAGLES

stronghunter said...

Good morning everyone out there.

Will said he isn't planning to wash that shirt. It was an old one.

Yes, I did remember to ask Will to get the tv to work. Told him I had been having all kinds of trouble. He picked up the remote, pushed the buttons, and said, "What's the problem?" It came right on for him. I don't know if there is a loose cable or what. It will surely work until he is gone again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA!!!!
Do take some time to enjoy your day.

hedgie said...

Potomac Valley Audobon Society has two outings scheduled: nighttime owl banding next Sat. 9:15-11PM on South Mountain, and a hawk/eagle watch at 8:30AM in HArpers' Ferry.

normabyrd said...

THANKS CEIL!---Both of them are in the nest!!---WONDERFUL WAY TO START THE DAY!!

stronghunter said...

Poof!

hedgie said...

They are also having a Monarch Butterfly program at NCTC Nov. 11 at 7pm.

stronghunter said...

Eagle has returned.

ceil said...

One is back.

normabyrd said...

HEY HEDGIE!!---I admit that WVU deserved to be beaten---they way they played----(think it must be the change in climate) ho!!

hedgie said...

Wow, Norma, I sure missed that tidbit of info about Diann's bro. How cool is that??? Wonder what he plays??

stronghunter said...

Raining here, too.

stronghunter said...

I think it was yesterday that Diann mentioned it, but I don't remember if she said what instrument.

stronghunter said...

2 in nest

ceil said...

percussion instructor but does not say what instrument stated 10/31/09@5:23 I think forgot already
BBL

stronghunter said...

Diann's message . . .

It is her son-in-law.


PA Nana said...
Lynn, I only have one computer so I don't know how it happened. I doubt it was luck, cuz without bad luck, I wouldn't have any. ;o)

Just got an email from daughter in VA. Her husband an Army percussion instructor, was just asked to play backup for Natalie Cole when she's in concert in the area. What an honor for him.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' SHIRLEY!--Did you have any candy left over?---

stronghunter said...

I feel like I am the one being watched.

normabyrd said...

Thanks for the correction SHIRLEY!-----I had a hard time remembering what I read on the blog---TIS' a LONG one! ho!---I got to see NAT KING COLE many moons ago!---(now he was one cool cat)---But he was not allowed to sleep in the local HOTELS!--LIFE HAS CHANGED!----THANK GOD!!

stronghunter said...

Quite a bit of candy left over, actually. I was a little stingy because I have run out in previous years.

I did have a lot of kids. It was warm and rainy, and a lot of people had umbrellas.

How about you, Norma?

Guess I will take some to school to share with students, but not tomorrow. They will have candy of their own. I had been giving candy to my advisory group, and made the mistake of leaving the bag on my desk once. It disappeared.

I am planning to take doughnuts to my homeroom one day this week. They didn't win the spirit link competition; they hardly had a chance with only 8 students, but they were in the running up to the end.

stronghunter said...

Going to take a break.

BBL.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All! So happy that Lib waited for me to see him at the nest!
Thanks for the earlier pic, Ceil.

The extra hour of sleep felt really good.. Have to read comments cause I
see Lynn was up really early...

BBILW

hedgie said...

Thanks, Ceil and Shirley and Norma---remember reading the beginning of that post, but must have totally missed the rest!!! That is quite a cool feat for her SIL!! Natalie is sure a s-m-o-o-t-h- singer, like her dad! Love the digital production put out a few years ago of the two of them together, as if it had really been originally recorded that way.

normabyrd said...

MORNING MEMA JO!!---WOW!---I didn't know you & PAULA were from CHICAGO!! (they vote more than once in that city too!!---so i have read)

Mema Jo said...

Wow! 5322 votes for naming Diego - I think the count really should double before it is finished.

Shirley - Love you new avatar!
Norma - Aren't you thankful times have changed (Nat king Cole) but wonder why it had to take so long!

Happy Birthday Andrea! Hoping that all your birthday wishes come true & that the year ahead will be good to you

Mema Jo said...

Halloween decor still on Woody and Ms Goose at Snowman. Wonder what will be next?

Judie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDY.

hedgie said...

If your dog(s) is out and about around other dogs, BEWARE! There is a dog swine flu--H3NA--see your vet for vaccination. Symptoms of dog swine flu include cough, sneezing, runny nose and weepy eyes. No joke...serious!!

hedgie said...

Jo, maybe Pilgrim outfits next!!

normabyrd said...

Thanks HEDGIE---w/tell my kids they all have dogs!

NatureNut said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDREA ☺ ☺ ☺
Another Misty, Moisty Morning.
Good Sunday to all.
Missed the morning eagle- boo...
Only have a few little birds here at the suet--sparrows, downy woodpecker and perky Carolina wren--they are so cute!
Paula, loved your pics! Swine Flew is great!!

Mema Jo said...

Good Suggestion Lynn
Guess it will be here before you know it!

Mema Jo said...

Want to get dressed before noon hour.

BBL

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' LOWREEDA!---I think you have one of the best collections of NATURE PICS!-----BEAUTIFUL!!---with EAGLES to top it off!!!!

PA Nana said...

Hi everyone. Hope all are having a blessed Sunday.

I must set the record straight. It's my son in law who will play for Natalie Cole.

BTW = I saw an eagle about 45 mins ago. I was passing the computer togo upstairs to get dresses. Wow!
Two days in a row!!

Now gotta go get something to eat, my sister will be coming down from Harrisburg to give me a haircut. Can't wait to visit with her.

... later

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE & MEMA JO!---Any more it seems they almost miss Thanksgiving----they jump to MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

How much candy did you get trick-or-treating last night??

Jim

hedgie said...

Norma, already saw Christmas stuff out at a couple of stores a few days ago!!! ARGH!

Hi, Diann! Tell you SIL we all think it's a really cool gig and congrats!
Enjoy your sister visit.

normabyrd said...

MORNING MOVIN'JIM!---There is an awesome EAGLE at BWO!!---Both of our EAGLES were in the nest EARLIER!!----I didn't go TRICK R TREAT---Did you?

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE our local RITE-AIDE has had XMAS out here too this past week! ho!

NatureNut said...

Thx Norma!!Glad you liked the pics. I may never get that close to a quiet eagle again!

Went ouside for a bit and our squirrel friend, Shorty, came up for new peanuts. He had been checking the grass and actually came up w/one! And we thought he didn't have enough Post-its!
Squirrels look black at Snowman cam.

Mema Jo said...

I have seen 2 black squirrels in our neighborhood.... guess they're related to the MI Snowman's squirrels.

Mema Jo said...

Lynn - love the little hedge hog on your avatar!

hedgie said...

Hi, Jim. No candy given out last night! Did you? Extra hour of rest was nice!
Good report on Mason. Two weeks in a row on an update!

stronghunter said...

Hello to everyone!

Lynn, I love your new avatar.
Hedgehog. Cute!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Jo!!!!!

stronghunter said...

Thanks, Jo, for your 10:26 compliment. I like the little owl, too. Of course, he's from open house.

hedgie said...

NORMA----are you still here? Did you hear/read about the two guys from here who were seriously injured in a wreck up your way when they ran into a stone wall in the fog??? They were both former co-workers.

hedgie said...

Thanks to you, too, Shirley! Don.t remember where I found pic, but thought it was a good one!
The lady who had me take her pic with the screech owl finally called and I sent it to her last week.

stronghunter said...

The little owl was not really easy to photograph. It moved its head so quickly that it took several shots to get a good one.

stronghunter said...

The hedgehog is just perfect for your avatar. A nice play on words.

hedgie said...

Bet Mits is having a great time at the game! Ravens beating Broncos!!

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE!----I cleaned out a ton of papers, etc --I had under my desk---most all EAGLE materials---I haven't had lunch yet!---SO--I haven't finished the paper this am!------WHOA!--MITS' team is winning like crazy!! 23-7---

normabyrd said...

need food---will check newspaper!

hedgie said...

VERY wierd sight here----single strand webs are strung everywhere---tree to tree, limb to limb, branch to branch, post to post, rail to rail, across tops of leaf piles------it is SO strange....and spooky! Afraid to walk out!

stronghunter said...

Norma, I am a little worried. You are not eating paper are you? Sounds like you are devouring the news in one way or another. Do we need to come to WV and check on your?

stronghunter said...

Take your stick, Lynn!

hedgie said...

Not sure when accident happened, Norma. Apparently past week some time.They were towing either a camper or a boat...everything totaled. Cop said if it hadn't been for seatbelts and airbags, they would not have survived! Apparently it was at a T-intersection and they didn't see stop sign in the fog.

stronghunter said...

Must go to library to pick up reading material for my commute. Need more books on CD. A CD is missing from the book I am reading now, so I am going to need something soon while I wait for the missing CD to show up--either from Kathryn's friend who borrowed the book from her or the one I've reserved at the library.

I go through book-listening withdrawal if I don't have a supply on hand.

stronghunter said...

Lynn, these people in the accident were friends of yours?

stronghunter said...

I think you said co-workers.

stronghunter said...

About to hit 700.

hedgie said...

LOL, Shirl---when I get ready to take trash out, hope I can't see them!!! Will wait 'til sun goes down!
Funny, too, about Norma eating paper!

hedgie said...

Yes, Shirley, former co-workers...

stronghunter said...

But you do not want to walk through one of those things, Lynn.

stronghunter said...

Headed out to library. They close at 5:00 0n Sunday. Hope I can find something good. Need to resserve some more good ones. The branch has a limited selection.

hedgie said...

Shirley, one of the guys is named Shirley, but he goes by his middle name of Lee!

movin said...

stronghunter said...

Lynn, I once had a student who asked my about my first name. She said, "Shirley is a man's name. Yes, I think she was trying to insult me. There was a male teacher named Shirley at the school. It was one of those comments I overlooked.

Was trying to remember when you retired, Lynn. I think it was a bit before I came on the blog, but am not sure.

Will be back soon. Gotta get to library.

hedgie said...

Yippee....JR. is leading the race! Go, Dale!

hedgie said...

That didn't last long!

hedgie said...

My disability leave started in Apr. '05 and then retirement was eff. Apr. .06.
My ex was named Carroll---common around here, but lots of off-comments made down home when I started seeing him!

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE--no wrecks in paper!---where was the wreck?

TIME FOR MINN AT GREEN BAY!!

BRETT FAVRE!!!

hedgie said...

I bet those webs are always there but only show up with sun hitting them a certain way!!

hedgie said...

Don't know where, Norma---just heard Romney at a T with a 20 ft. high stone wall.

Mema Jo said...

Hi There - I have had a very very lazy day so far. Time changes always do that to me. Hubby says we can go out to eat - no problem!

Hedgie - take the garbage out now that you can see. Spiders come out at night

Enjoy your game Norma

Ravens outdid themselves... I think Helen got to see the M&M + Ben today.

BBL

stronghunter said...

I was thinking the same thing, Jo. Get out there while you can see, Lynn. Take your stick and knock down some of those webs if necessary.

Got some books. Found the missing CD. Now to get to the photo class homework. Have put in some messages. Now to tie things together.

BBL.

hedgie said...

I did okay----couldn't use stick--had two bags to carry!!! Didn't "feel" any hit my face, at least!!!

EAGLE OUR NEST

It went poof.

PA Nana said...

EAGLE!!!

Until I got signed in it left~

normabyrd said...

HEY DEB!!--Hope you are watching YOUR team!!---WOW!---They are AWESOME---so far!!--(17--0)--

PA Nana said...

Whew! Over 718 posts; I'll never catch up after being away this afternoon.

Sister, Judy, and I went to the Olive Garden for a late lunch and to commiserate. It was great to see her. Then we came back to my house and she trimmed my hair. Now I need a shower to get rid of this itchy hair on me but have to
make something for Jim when he's done work. Guess I'll scratch my way through supper.

Is there a way to stay signed in here? If I go to another site and come back I must sign in again. It's beginning to be a pain in the a#$!

Missed the Eagles and Giant game but if it was anything like the first quarter, I'm glad. I would have been shouting at the tv.

Oops! Hi everyone; hope you all had a great day.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Everyone!

Just want to say a big THANK YOU for all the wonderful Birthday wishes and cards from all of you!
Sure has made my day! Have really been enjoying myself--got an extra hour's sleep, Hubby took me out to breakfast, and have done NO homework or studying today! Decided to just relax and have fun.
Really glad I did! Thanks again for making my day--you are all VERY special people! Love you all!
((Group HUG))!!! XOXOXOXOXO :O}

Ms Bookworm said...

Lynn,
Glad you made it through all the webs and got rid of the trash! Have been seeing lots of the same here, too. One especially tough single web made it through 40 mph winds a week ago! DON'T want to meet up with THAT 8-legger! LOL

Ms Bookworm said...

OOH--Hubby's sauteing mushroom slices; gotta go do a taste test! Will BBL...yummy, yummy, yummy....

Lolly said...

Hi all! Had a great time at Laurel's yesterday. The boys had a great time trick or treating. Joey, Jack, and Bosco their dog went with them. They came home when Jacob got tired with their pumpkins full. They then dumped it on the floor and dug in. lol

I got some cute pictures and will post them later.

Another soccer game today. Coach was there and he told the three fathers they had to sit down. They can not stand on the side lines and yell. So, apparently someone has talked to him. Now to see if the boys show up for practice.

hedgie said...

Andy, glad you're having a fun day and being pampered by hubby! Your avatar is great!!! GD and GGD??? Guess that makes them cousins, right?

Lolly said...

Happy Birthday, Andy! Hope you have had a great day!

NORMA....how about those cowboys?!!!!

After the game today we went to the store to get some groceries. On game day you get a 10% discount if you are wearing a Cowboy jersey. Jack wore it this time. We keep it in the van, in case we forget.

hedgie said...

Diann, sure glad you had a chance to get out. Know that yucky itchy feeling!
When you open the blog site, do it with a right click and choose "open in new tab" or "new window", and then you can keep it open!

Lolly, glad the boys had fun---even the big one---ho, as Norma says! Well, sounds like the coach got some backbone...about time.

hedgie said...

Oh, Ceil....new 8 ft. statue for the Inner Harbor---Mayor Schaeffer!!! Next it'll be Louis Goldstein! Got a big kick out of that guy!!

Mema Jo said...

Andy I never close this site down by clicking on the Sign Out
I sign up once in the morning and it stays up al day. I just switch from
site to site

Mema Jo said...

Driving home from downtown this early dark evening, I was thinking about the beautiful bright moon up there in the clear sky and wondering WHY couldn't it have been like this for Halloween?

deb said...

Norma, watched what I could at work, but got to watch the 4th quarter when I got home. They had me worried for awhile, but pulled it off.

NatureNut said...

What a goofy car race thise afternoon---Ryan Newman had me scared, sliding upside down, but is OK. I don't think they shuold race there anymore---too many wrecks. But Fubby says that's what the fans like! They should watch Trauma ER then!
Hooray for Ravens & Brett Favre!!!
Now we get to se4e baseball, I hope.
Went to store this afternoojn & at CVS, there was ONE bag of Reeses small Peanut Butter Cups still on sale!!! Mine now!!!----let trick or treat begin!
Saw a story on news tonight about a local dog that was missing for 13years! He escaped by prying storm door open & now was seen by military family in OK in their yard. Vet found microchip ID. His name was Brindl & info was on Facebook that orig. owner saw!!!Was driven back here by a volunteer lady!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good evening all my eagle budlets! I am back in Bedford after an absolutely wonderful and spiritual weekend. Great to be back home though. Hope all is well with everyone!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, I tried and tried to post through Google Chrome and it wouldn't take my password, then I switched over to IE and it went right through! HMMMM????

hedgie said...

Deb, congrats on your teams win!
Loretta....please share those Reesie cups! Mmmmm. Newman sure had me scared----when we finally heard him say I'm okay I cheered! Bet that if it had happened five years ago, he would not have survived. Whew.
Sharon, great that you had a wonderful retreat and that you gals are home safe!

Good night, everyone.
