1 – 200 of 532 Newer› Newest»Oh Thanks Steve - We will be a chatty bunch today, this will come in handy, the new thread. I will go surprise the others !
That sure is a beautiful nest we have there!
Lynn - I think you are correct on that old building, sure I would have seen the flames/glow from here if I had gone out to look....
Hate to see that kind of stuff, makes me think there are fire bugs out and about!
Graet pictures in tje Journal though, love the one of the firefighters standing there lined up and watching....
thanks for the call-over Margy:)
intersting/disturbing story of the embezzlers from Jefferson Co fire company....
ten or so years ago we had a similar problem at Hedgesville Fire Department...one big difference, was that the amount was close to $80,000...long-time member/treasurer was the culprit...never should have happened....
beautiful clear afternoon at Finland cam
You're welcome Mits...It's fun to discover it and then sound the alert!
Got to get ready now for morning shopping trip.

Best wishes for a great day everyone, and once again,
Happy 2nd Birthday to Dear Molly ☺ ♥

We need a road trip to Wanda's shop....who wants some wax teeth??
GOOD MORNING...
Just spoke with GeeGee and she doesn't know for sure which house burned (trees are in the way), but she said fire trucks parked all over her lawn and was there a long time. Must surely be Robin Townsend's old house.
Mits, Make sure you tell Mollie a very happy birthday from me!
Swing by and get me Megan, I need some! :)
I do I do!!!!!!
will do Sharon:)
Good Morning All
A special wish for the little eaglet MOLLY to have fun on her birthday
Good morning, cloudy and rainy here.
Happy Birthday, Molly!
Okay, so I misspelled Molly! OOPS! Don't tell her Mits!
my waxed lips are sealed, Sharon...really they are sealed:):)
Oh Mits! That is good!
THINK TANK AT NZ..ORANGUTANS
it was nice to be back at the zoo yesterday.....all the animals on the Asian Trail were out enjoying the cooler weather.
Wanda's shop has been opened for almost an hour! I hope everyone wants
to disguise themselves for Halloween!
Just got a call and a lunch date with office gals. We missed Sept somehow.
6 b-days this month - list is almost ready to send out!
Guess I best get a move on.. May go to Walmart after lunch....
All I need to do to really get moving is to play Andrew's Drum Line Video..
I love that sooooooooo much!
BBL
Well, Jo, that put a big smile on my face!
ferry going by at Finland
Think Tank sounds pretty cool, Mits. Glad you had a good day....bet they were glad to have you back!
Yeah, Wanda...that's the only long-vacant house I could think of.
Good morning, everyone!
So sorry about the injured deer. Wish it never would happen but at least it won't suffr any longer.
Glad Gee Gee wasn't affected by the fire -- only the fire trucks.
Andy, congratulations, again. YOU ROCK!
Will have to check on the cam later. Getting ready for my next class of wannabe adults.
May head to Wanda's after second class to get some wax lips. I WANT TO BE A PRINCESS!
Happy opening day, Wanda.
Judie
Thunderstorm passing through here. I was hoping for a break in the rain today,
Deb, is today your day off? Anything special planned??
Morning, all!
We have a working cam! :) :)
Happy Birthday Molly!
I'll take some of those wax lips...and I want some of those wax Coca-Cola bottles, too!
Groundhog at Pix
Since it is raining and can't do anything fun outside, I am cleaning the house. No satellite for right now, clouds are too heavy.
Good morning! Great to see a nest with correct time. Now, has anyone seen an eagle?
Trailer is in the drive and now we start preparing to leave. Still well, but Jack and I are turning into hypochondriacs, every little thing we worry...is this it? Nope, going to think positive.
Have not talked with Laurel as she called while we were gone and I have not been able to reach her since we got back. hmmmmm?????
Margy...you are the sweetest, most thoughtful person! God's blessing on you. I know Norma had so much fun getting her little gift from you, just as I loved getting the adoption card. It made my day!
Would you believe we are having another rainy day? Actually, I love getting rain just before we leave. Makes me feel good about the yard, but we also need to mow before we leave.
Going to spend the day loading. Thinking of Wanda and her shop. I am so glad we stopped by there last year. Nice to picture Wanda at work in there. Have a great season, Wanda!
J8st saw a very strange bug outside----looked like some kind of grasshopper but only about 1/2" long, pale tan but with antennae that were 3" long!!!! Wierd.
Headlines from the Bedford Bulletin yesterday -
Real stinkers - Putrid pests invade Bedford homes! They say the ones here are from the family Pentatomidae because of their 5-segment antennae. They say not all are bad, like the spined soldier bug! Well, I say whatever, they all stink!
I suspect, we will see them, hopefully, at the end of the day:)
eagles not bugs:)
ha ha ha- I thought you meant stink bugs....
hoodies at Finland
I did too Megan!
man the hoodies are fast
Of course, us great minds must stick together.
I still have that little hummingbird here today, just saw him on the cardinal climber vine.
Pretty deer at Pix
divers at dolphin cam
they are having a good time with the dolphin
Good Morning/Afternoon, Eagle Buddies,
I just woke up! Oh, what weather we're having here! Santa Ana winds, blowing like a hurricane, and supposed to reach 90 here today. Crazy.
Just wanted to let you know that Hubby is getting off work shortly, and we are spending the day with my sister-in-law. Going to lunch, then probably a movie. Gotta do some damage control with the hair & makeup, and use 'concrete' hair spray, so I don't frighten small children. Then I'll be outta here. Don't want you all to worry about me, so reporting in. Will BBL, but probably much later today. Haven't read the blog at all, so will have to catch up later. Have a wonderful day, and will talk to you later.
Let's go, Mits! I want to swim with the dolphins too. Must admit it might be a little scary at first, but oh, the experience.
I'm right there with you, Lolly.
Just talked with Laurel. They seems to all be better, though Joseph had a coughing, panic attack early this morning. Once Joey got him calmed down, he could breath okay. Now the two boys are driving Laurel bananas!! Must be getting better. Laurel is going to grade papers today and she thinks she and Joseph are going back to school tomorrow.
That would be so much fun, maybe someday!
Good news, Lolly!
Oh-oh-----fire has rekindled.....watch out, GeeGee, fire trucks coming back. Hope they aren't damaging the lawn.
Well, a little after midnight, a 91-year-old neighbor lady passed away. I had never met her but talk with her daughter often. Then at 4:23 a.m., one of Andrew's lifelong friends and his girlfriend had a little baby boy, Gabriel! One goes and another takes the place. Drew (Andrew's friend, not Andrew), called me yesterday to tell me Sammie was in labor. He sent a text during the night to let me know the baby was born. He hadn't even contacted Andrew. Drew has always called me "Momma". Love that kid and I pray things go well for them!
2 deer at pix
I would love to swim with the dolphins, too, if I knew how to swim!
Okay, gotta tell you about the "Alternate Friday Aficionado Enchilada Society." This is a small group of aeronautical engineers who for years have gotten together for lunch at Mexican food restaurants every other week. (Well, now it is Thursdays since every other week it is a 4 day week.) Jack is one of the founding fathers. lol They have a talisman that they pass around in alphabetical order. The holder of the talisman selects the eating place. It is up to the others to be highly critical of the selection. They have one member who is on permanent probation. Poor Bob gets lots of ridicule! They have a lot of fun. Anyway, Larry, who was just killed and who funeral we went to yesterday was a member. They are having their usual lunch today, they plan to have a pitcher of beer in his honor. Please think of this group of men in your prayers. This will be a hard lunch, though lots of laughter.
Well, Lynn, before we go on this road trip to swim with the dolphins, we will just have to teach you how to swim. Or, maybe, they would let you go in with floaties. I could easily go in with the dolphins, not only can I swim, but I float like a cork! lol
****************
GOOD MORNING,
EVERYBODY

C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Okay, I gotta get a move on. Things to do, packing to accomplish.
Have a fantastic day and I will.......BBL!
Look at Bai Yun and the baby now.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
EEwwiie at BWO
I'm sure it's going to be an emotional lunch, Lolly. Good for the guys to meet and have one for Larry.
Okay so no one has won the Our Nest Contest yet...
Lolly - - very special luncheon for Larry, and the sight of those bicycles yesterday must have been very heartwarming. Special things like these, make the loss, more spiritual and loving.
Glad the Laural family seems to be coming along.
Sharon - wonderful news about the new baby, how special to be one of the very first to know!
I think Deb should be the first one to see the Eagles at NCTC - since she is house-bound due to weather...and doing housework!
But there are many special ones here who should be the first! ♥
passing through, had to put my black raspberry chocolate ice cream away. Funny how one goes in for cheese and mayonnaise, and comes out $78 later ☺
Off to the post office, back later...xoxoxo
Lynn - I drove past where I thought the fire was, and couldn't see a thing, that was at, now they are back out there, maybe still. Not uncommon, esp if it was a large structure with a lot of wood and maybe some packrat things..
Oh, Sharon, the cycle of life, for sure. The Lord giveth and the Lord teketh away...Blessed is the name of the Lord.
funny how we say "new baby" - like there is going to be an "old babyY born....
Ta Ta For Now....
I tell you, I am often the poster with comment #69.
Lolly, glad that Laurel and family are feeling better, but still don't think she should go back to work tomorrow!
Very nice tradition the guys have---today will be like their own little wake for Larry.
LOL, Lolly----I sink big time. Many have tried to teach me, but it never works!
Margy, rekindle especially when wind is blowing is almost "to be expected"---and if it's R.R.'s house, it is old and all wood and big.
Sounds like good ice cream! Enjoy!
LOL, what are you trying to say Magpie? :)
Just returned - need to read comments
Anxious to see if anyone got Margy's 1st To See The Birds award!
Sharon, Margy's getting ribbing for a second day in a row!!!
Too funny and Jo, nobody has won yet but I am hoping too! :)
I am thinking if I win, I might get to see the nest on October 17!!
Margie That is some fantastic kind of ice cream flavor! Never go into a grocery store when you are even the least bit hungry!
Wish you luck to be the 1st Sharon.
Have no clue what the prize would be other then the Thrill of seeing Lib & Belle after such a long time! That would be enough for me.
If everyone is eating dinner at dusk
I could be the first this evening!
Need to make an Oct B-day list for you all!
Anyone not a Momster/Dadster let me know as that is the email I use to send the list.
BBL
I agree w/ you Jo, just seeing our pair would be special!
And it will happen today, that is as long as our camera stays up!
Are we going to have a table at Open House?
Da birds....Da birds....I have another starling invasion...hundreds...but at least they are quiet this time! Kind of spooky.
Sharon, Paula is checking in to the table....think she had forgotten until I asked....she's been so busy.
Sent out b-day list for Oct - let me know if you don't receive - Give it until tomorrow......... OR if you have an Oct b-day and I don't know it - email me.
Going to put feet up for an hour.....
I bet someone will be lucky and see Lib!
I didn't get too far - at least not to my recliner. My son-in-law the Park Ranger came by to look at our trees that may be dying out front. Maple and a red maple!
BBL
Okay I am back....
since I suggested it, I will send a little something to the "contest-winner." What happens if I am the first one ??
Hedgie, maybe just maybe some of those starlings will head South !
I'm sure the Southern Delegation would love them...NOT !
have things to do away from the computer so I might not even come close to being the winner....
I agree...just the beauty and wonder of a visit would be all any of us need !
Norma
very good friend headed to Morgantown to watch the 'Eeers. Also saw a teacher and husband headed that way, she ducked out of class a few minutes early and has to teach tomorrow...will get by on Mountaineer Energy no doubt. Perfectly beautiful day for a game!
I will picture you rattling that pom-pom ☺
Buck browsing at Pix Pa
Was....woof just heard what sounded like a gunshot, doubt it but it sounded like it.
Today is a friend of mine's daughter's 10th birthday. They have been hiding the big surprise present for months now. Tickets to a Mile Cyrus concert in Omaha tomorrow. Miley has strep throat, so the concert was postponed. Poor Kris, I think she is more upset than Ashley will be. They will still get to see her, but not until Oct. 13.
Hi Deb...wow, that is great but disappointment for the postponement. 10th birthdays are important, she has reached the first decade!
Love her first name ! Reminds me of my naturalist friend in NY. ☺
He reports seeing Palm Warblers, Blue-headed vireo, common yellow throat, and black throated green warblers. Just checked them all and listened ♫ to them on my Thayer's Guide....all are very beautiful.
Poor Kris has been so excited for the big reveal, but Ashley will be thrilled even if the concert isn't tomorrow. it will just take a little scheduling since they live in Rapid City.
Oh I can understand that kind of disappointment, like when my brother's package U-turned back to Baltimore! Sometimes the adults can get more excited than the children ☺
That's right, Margie!
It is snowing in the Black Hills again today.
Just the higher elevations, not in Rapid City.
Wow, Jo
Thanks for that October Birthdays email! There are some very important names on there ☺ - as there are of course on all the other months past and future.
xo
Okay, time out from the contest for me for a bit, need to take a little shut-eye.
Afternoon Everyone.
Forgot to mention I put a couple Snowman cam pics on last night of Bear and Porcupine. Also explained why it "looks like P's shoot quills".
Gotta hustle to the kitchen~~bought more veggies for pot roast. Later
I am still watching for our Majestic couple to appear. I know my heart is going to skip lots of beats when they do!
I hope Wanda had some business today!
Hey Locals We should go to the shop!
Hi everyone. Blessings around.
I'm just checking in before the big day - Monday. I'm on pain meds and am able to use the computer for brief times. Having terrible pain in my "mouse" arm. Please pray with me that the surgery will be successful.
I'm watching for our eagles and I've been checking on the little panda and watched as mom gave him a bath (I think) today. She turned him up and down and sideways and I had to laugh. I didn't hear anything from the little one but I would have had something to say if my mom had done that. :D
Take care and God bless
Just finished watching Diego's 5th exam video. Now there is a close up of him in the den sleeping. I'd so much want to hold a baby panda that size.
ROAD TRIP!!!!
Hi Diann! Prayers for your surgery and speedy recovery. Will you have a hospital stay or not?
Road trip to see Diego or
To the costume shop?
We could drum up business for Wanda by dressing in her costumes and parading
through the streets of Shepherdstown and Martinsburg!
Wanda's, of course. Although I hear some of you wanna see that panda...
Diann, so sorry to say that I forgot to write down the date of your surgery....was it this week??? I am SO sorry that I forgot to wish you well beforehand. Have been including you in my prayers all along cause know how much pain you've been having. Hoping that everythimg is successful and that post-op pain will be short-lived. Hang in there, make it through your therapy, and plan to join us on the next adventure we have.
Does Wanda have a baby panda costume?
Lynn Sounds as thought Diann is saying that her surgery is this coming Monday the 5th.
Thirty lashes with a wet noodle Lynn!
We need to ask her, Sharon!
Incidentally what size shirts does
Mattie wear?
Just checked PixPA cam and there's a critter there I can't identify--maybe neednew glasses. Anyone recognize it?
Is it a woodchuck??
Not sure, Judie----wish he'd turn around---maybe a groundhog.
Lo9oks like that fat ole groundhog to me.
Yepper! That is the resident Groundhog
You can tell by the tail..........
Dinner Time
Hamburgers off the grill...........
BBL
Oops---woodchucks and groundhogs are the same thing!! Maybe he just has a super big tail!!
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood??
I couldn't think of the name groundhog. Lynn, learned something new, that they are the same thing.
Or a whistle-pig or a land-beaver. Learn something new every day!
Mema Jo is having burgers but I am all for that road trip to the Costume Shop! and the parade around in Mtsbg and Shep-town!
LOL Sharon!! I was sitting here saying that and you typed it. LOL
Ah, thanks for the identification. Just hadn't seen it there before.
Hope Wanda has had a good first day and sold tons of wax lips.
I'll mark Monday on the calendar for Diann. Eagle prayers for successful surgery and quick healing.
All will be fine as soon as Ashley sees Miley Cyrus. Date will be irrelevant.
Any update on Dana and Ed?
Ah, some of you may have noticed that I have not left for my daily search for frig inspiration. Well, turns out I had an offer of dinner out in a real restaurant. So, off I will go soon. Will be back to check the night critters.
Judie
Oh, just remembered I wanted to let everyone know that husband has been checking on Diego -- I know because he keeps giving me updates! Ha, got him hooked.
And She sells sea shells by the seashore!
I did find some when I went to the BEACH!!
(Running out of here quickly before Sharon doesn't like me any more!)
Hope someone spots our royal pair...heading to a friends for dinner...will check in later!
Sharon, she said BEACH!!!
I saw that word, Megan, and I think she was being surly for using it!
Been packing! It was so much easier to pack for the BEACH than New Mexico. Having to pack jeans and sweats as well as shorts and t-shirts.
hmmm, I'm sitting here watching my....ocsurfcam.com.....watching the beach:)
Enjoy your dinner out, Judie. lol about
the Diego checker upper!
It is 6:00 here - within the hour we should see them...... I sure hope so!
Yeah, I am needing to go to Wal-Mart but I am going to try to wait for a little while!
Mits, Are you headed back anyways soon?
Is or was Molly's b-day party today or this weekend?
Noisy aren't I!
Hey, Shar---A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!!!
Enjoy dinners out, Judie and Paula!
Oh-oh- Mits is going to be on Sharons' list next!!! Surly, indeed! LOL!
They call a groundhog/woodchuck a whistle pig BECAUSE if you see one in the field or along side of the road, Just whistle and he will sit right up and look all around. I have been seeing so many young ones in the grass along the shoulders of the roads.. I beep the horn and they react the same as if they heard a whistle.
Good to know that I DIDN'T miss Diann's surgery date....and need to read more carefully, huh?
well I would like to go down the BEACH in between zoo days, but am afraid to be that far away with dil so close to due date, we will see...I have some unfinished business with curtains being now fixed yet...grrr. We will drop off Molly's gifts after we go to the Orioles game on Sunday
Bisquits and sausage gravy (yep, Red---canned!) for dinner here. Have finished cleaning. Retiree breakfast in morning, then several errands to run---most important of which is getting birthday present for my Carolyn----37 Sat. Having family dinner here that evening.
I can understand what you are saying about it being OCT and not being certain when Benjamin is coming into this family! I think I would want to stick close to home also.
I see that Boo at the Zoo is the last weekend in Oct. Love that child's panda costume on the cover!
Sharon - Walmart is opened all night - you can wait until it is dark before you stop looking at the nest!
Is your hair appointment tomorrow? Fri?
Scares me when the cam goes 'black screen' when it refreshes ...
yeah I had the black screen but hit refresh and it came right back on
Same here! But I guess I really
BEAT the refresh key !
Maybe 45 more minutes until they could appear?
Getting an early evening cup of coffee! It is really chilly out there!
And I am still here and still watching. How are my buds doing?
just tried to call the birthday girl, no one is home:(:(
Your budlets are hanging in here with ya!
What if they are on vacation? :<(
lol...where do eagles go on vacation???
Jim and Andy, hope you all didn't feel the tremors along the San Andreas fault today.
Now Nike is denying that they are paying Vick---just supplying his equipment.....hmmm.
I see a Webmaster email address under
the cam...
beautiful sunset at Peggy's cove
This bud is doing good. Just had a long conversation with Dana.
Short story long, she is okay, sends her love, and prayers, tells God that she might not know who needs them each day but HE sure does.
Part I, Part II to follow.
She is fixing baked pork chops and herb potatoes for din-din for Ed and her. ☺ Yum !
Sure doesn't look as dark at nest as it does here.
They don't go to the d--n beach!! LOL!
Dana is enduring endless calls to doctors, visits with pharmacists, etc to work things out for herself AND Ed....her right eye is still giving her some problems which makes it very difficult for her to be on the computer.
Dana thanks everyone very much for all the prayers, and appreciates that they will continue
hey Jo email them and tell tehm to get rid of the annoying nctc logo, Suz and I don't like it hurts the eyes
Thanks for the update on Dana & Ed, Margy. What's the Part II ??
Also told her we were watching the nest grow waiting for an appearance, and also that we are thinking of a Road Tripo to Wanda's and will keep her posted ☺
best time to watch the dolphin cam is between 5 and 7, light changes and the dolphins swims are over, you see mom and baby swimming by often
I was beginning to think the same think about the darkness of the nest and it is further EAST of us here in Berkeley County. Ruh, Ro...
Also, Dana's Mother lives pretty close to me - in Star Acres... and she and her went out to Wendy's for some chow today...she enjoys that, in fact, they both do.
Ed's birthday was Yesterday!
oh Sharon, forgot, they stopped by last week and I gave them the keys to the condo.....told them to clean up after themselves and no late night parties
cam is refreshing, I'm pretty sure we are LIVE.
I can do that - I really think it is very distracting -- What if that red
lettering is what keeps the cam going?
Then I'll be in Bigger Trouble! lol
sunset at nest still 8 minutes away
my lettering is orange...
well, if that is what keeps it up guess we have to live with it
Ed's sister gave him a card, part of which said: " We have had several happy memories. I will never forget the day Mom brought you home from the Vet's. " ☺
He will be watching and/or listening to the Mountaineers game, and then other good shows on TV later.
Dana and I had some laughs...
so there is Part I, II, III and maybe IV. xoxox
WHAT red lettering, and it's not blurry here at all! Ha Ha Ha Psyche....
No, it's orangey red letters...
called my friend who just returned to FLA for the winter a little while ago....she was in her pool....grrrr.
yeah ok, I'll go with that description, Megan
