NillaWafer said...

stronghunter said...

Hi Jim and Nilla.

Enjoy the visit. I must take off for awhile.

BBL.

NillaWafer said...

I knocked at heavens door this morning. God asked me...My child what can I do for you?
And I said, Father, please protect and bless the person
reading this message... God smiled and answered......... Request granted.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' --- Daughter sent up up a KID to at least clean off the car port & down to my drive!!---He just has a shovel--so can't do drive way---but this will be a big help!!!

Mits said...

thanks for the call over Norma...:)

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' NILLA!---GREAT to have you with us again!!---Have missed you!---PLEASE tell JILL----REALLY-REALLY miss her too!!!

floralgirl said...

Well, darn I missed the eagle visit. Shoveling snow, an endless task it seems.

Judie said...

Thank you, Steve, for the new snowy thread. Hope you and family are warm and comfy.

Andy, have a safe drive home.

Thelma, hope the water lines fills quickly. Such an inconvenience.

Missed the eagles but see evidence of their landing.

Lynn, have opted for the textbook. Really strange, this is the first time I have been uninterested in an Alex Cross novel by Patterson.

Sun is bright. Going back to reading. No mail yesterday. No newspaper today.

Mema Jo said...

Well I am back from the video call with the Germany gang! I see I missed their visit but I know that Margy has some good pics posted!

The video call was great - both ggd were there to talk with and blow kisses.

The circle out front is humming with the snow blowers at almost every driveway.

Mits said...

eagle back BWO

stronghunter said...

Which Alex Cross is it, Judie?

I'm reading London Bridges right now.

Mema Jo said...


Update from Mason

wvgal_dana said...

I typed before I seen comment on up the list of comments that there was a new thread. So I brought mind and Hedgie's over:

wvgal_dana said...
Hi my snowy Eagle Pals..Hello to everyone.

I tried gettiing a guy with a snow blower. He said he might be back he has to do one of his families.

I tried getting two kids walking up the snowy road. They have to do his father's first but might be back.

I have an appointment tomorrow with Social Security. So I can't take a chance that they will be open and I'm not cleaned out to get there.

SNOW SNOW SNOW WOW !!!

Ed knew how to get out of this one lol ... Bless His Heart he couldn't have cleaned it anyhow.

Called my nephew ... he messed his truck up and his back is messed up. Told him to call some of his friends see if they have a truck with plow or snow blower. No word back and that was hours ago.

So pain pill and shovel here I come...say a prayer for me please.

hedgie said...
Driveway is plowed!! Not perfect but good enough! Hardly anyplace to put so much snow. Will definitely need to get a load of gravel come spring---argh!
And I have two papers from yesterday and one today!!! Thank you, my Mr. Bill! I'll even be able to take the trash out later.

Sunday, December 20, 2009 12:17:00 PM

stronghunter said...

Oh, Dana, do be careful. Do not overdo. Take breaks.

Costume Lady said...

We are about to go in to GG's. Hope she didn't shovel any snow!

I couldn't get up as far as the woods...snow was too deep and it was hard to walk. We did get some photos of tracks! Have a look on my WILD AND WONDERFUL:)

stronghunter said...

Nice pictures, Wanda.

paula eagleholic said...

I see we had a visit :)

paula eagleholic said...

2 eagles at BWO

NillaWafer said...

Wonderful pictures Wanda... Dana please be careful and Dont over due!!! I am sure SS will understand if you need to reschedule heck they might be closed tomarrow also.. Just talked to neighbor on phone she went out to Rocs and said GrapeVine Rd is horrible so any chance of me going out is zero...Put a picture of our nest visit thsi mornign on facebook for ex sisterin law she lives in Clear Spring Md and said she has eagles up there too..

Mema Jo said...

Hi Nilla - Kristen lives in Big Pool - just a mile or so above Clear Spring.
Her hubby has sent me pics of eagles he has sighted going up Indian Springs Rd.

Mits said...

been looking at a lot of the traffic cams around the area, and MD crews have done a good job on the beltway and 95...

Mema Jo said...

Jim - I read about the 16th exam and of course watched the video. Also read about Su Lin redecorating!

Mema Jo said...

Oh yes, Steve - We were able to clean off our cars after we found them! lol

hedgie said...

Whoops---missed y'all
Brought over from old thread (sorry!):

Driveway is plowed!! Not perfect but good enough! Hardly anyplace to put so much snow. Will definitely need to get a load of gravel come spring---argh!
And I have two papers from yesterday and one today!!! Thank you, my Mr. Bill! I'll even be able to take the trash out later.

Sunday, December 20, 2009 12:17:00 PM

Thelma, so glad your water problem was not YOURS and that it was short-lived!!! To me that is the worst part when we lose electricity----pump can't run to get water from the well! So far, so good!! Light snow makes a big difference. As long as the wind doesn't cause trees/limbs to bring down a line and nobody knocks out a pole, and the transformers don't blow, maybe our luck will hold!

Sunday, December 20, 2009 12:36:00 PM

Dana, be careful out there. Just do a little at a time.

Back to vacuuming, and reading papers.

Sunday, December 20, 2009 12:37:00 PM

hedgie said...

Good new pics, Wanda! You had a bird zoo!
Snow is blowing so that it looks like great plumes of smoke.
Glad they got Mason ensconced in his new environment before the bad weather hit. Haven't heard how much snow they got in Morgantown, but if Frostburg got less than us, then they probably got even less.

Mema Jo said...

Need to take a break

BBILW

Bird Girl said...

Hello everyone! I see holes in the snow on the nest, wish I'd seen their visit. Glad they're still attentive to the nest. Hope all of you getting hammered with snow are able to get out soon!

Judie said...

Quick visit.

DANA: PLEASE TAKE IT EASY! Social Security Office isn't going anywhere.

Lynn, Cross Country. Also, it seems every time I have injections of contrast dye, I cough and sneeze for days after. Is my body trying to clear it out? Had the same thing after anesthesia.

stronghunter said...

I haven't read that one, Judie.

Judie said...

Wanda, just went back to look at the super terrific pictures. I especially like that guy standing in the snow. I also agree with him -- I see Red riding Hood and the wolf.

Shirley, wonderful pictures of the eagles in the nest.

Thanks to you both.

NillaWafer said...

Judie maybe your body is having a slight allergic reaction.. I know my daughter cant take it breaks all out in hives.. Yes Jo she just told me on facebook she was riding 1 of her horses and an eagle flew right over her head said she about fell out of saddle..lol I sent her picture of Lib n Belle in nest this morning they attend Concocheage Grace Brethern Church

stronghunter said...

I have been taking the easy route to reading recently. I listen to books as I drive. The Alex Cross I'm reading now has lots of sound effects. Nearly jumped out of my seat at the sound of gunfire at one spot. I hope they don't overdo. I can imagine the sounds.

stronghunter said...

I see Red Riding Hood and the wolf, too. And I agree about the guy standing in the snow. He is a good one.

stronghunter said...

I appreciated Margy's alert to the eagle visit this morning. Would not have gotten the pics without it.

Lolly said...

Hi all! Thought I would peek in before heading to the kitchen. First I went to the nest....WOW evidence that eagles had been there. Fantastic! Then took a peek at Shirley's pics. Thanks Shirley! Also, really enjoyed your pictures, Wanda. The snow is beautiful!

Glad you are beginning to dig out. If we had a snow like that we would be in
BIG trouble....no snow plows, or snow blowers here.

I took another fall yesterday. Worry about you and snow and ice. I work in the yard and slip and fall on the sidewalk. We still have water coming out of the ground and the sidewalk is slippery with slime. I was being careful, but obviously not careful enough. Have strong bones, no injury. Thought I would be sore and stiff today, but I am just fine.

Heading to the kitchen. Today going to make pumpkin rolls and banana nut bread. That will leave pies for later on in the week.

stronghunter said...

Good that you weren't hurt, Lolly. I have not ventured beyond the porch.

NillaWafer said...

Woooo wind is whippin strong out there watching flags across road blowin and now you can hear it.. Just put 2 bake chicken pot pies in oven and making blue berry muffins.. Just alazy lazy. Need to play pogo canasta and make over madness for badges...Sighhhhhhh

paula eagleholic said...

Posted some more pics and video of the dogs in the snow...

Paula's Prints

stronghunter said...

Nice pictures, Paula. Barking got George's attention.

paula eagleholic said...

BWO Update -

12/20/09:
We updated the Osprey Cam Gallery with photos of adult eagles, immature eagles, flickers, bluebirds, an immature cormorant, vultures, a Great blue heron, and a recent Great horned owl.

Much thanks to all those who sent in their photos.

Happy Holidays!

paula eagleholic said...

2 eagles still at BWO, one is chowing down.

paula eagleholic said...

Great pics in the osprey gallery, including plenty from today!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Shirley! Back to wrapping!

hedgie said...

More great pics, Wanda and Paula!
Paula, I always worried that when the snow got half as high as the fence that the dogs would jump on over....it never happened, TG! Of course, when it's this dry and fine not as much of a worry as when it gets crusted and they walk on top!
Judie, I would say that what you experience is a mild allergic reaction. Please make sure you tell the doctor.....they may just make sure to give you an antihistamine beforehand in the future!
I haven't read Cross Country yet. Is that the newest one? I find that I'm getting irritated with my favorite authors---thry are trying to crank out too many new books, and I think they make too many mistakes, end up with dumb storylines, etc. Right now I am hung up on Michael Connolly---he hasn't gotten bad yet!! But then I'm only about 4 in to his many featuring one main character.

hedgie said...

Shoveled garage ramp and in front of porch. Can't do anymore....whew. Trying to warm up and get my breath so I can tote the trash out. Wish the wind would stop...:(

stronghunter said...

Eagles at BWO.

ceil said...

paula that is a cute video
Loretta nice bird pics

ceil said...

Wanda just looked at your pics. Love them

Mema Jo said...

Love the pics and the video Paula.
Took me a minute to realize why all the barking!

Mema Jo said...

I am beginning to see real the real wooden deck as the snow melts where shoveled. Hubby and son cleared out a wide driveway in anticipation of Christmas Eve parking. I just hope more snow doesn't come until Christmas day. I need to check an updated weather forecast

stronghunter said...

Flock of turkeys at Pix PA.

paula eagleholic said...

Very nice, pics, Wanda. Love the sun coming up.

paula eagleholic said...

Are the Skins playing today?

stronghunter said...

Tomorrow, Paula. They play the Giants.

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Shirley! Guess they have 2 Monday night games this year.

Costume Lady said...

SHIRLEY, neat pics of our eagles in the nest. I didn't think we would have a visit today. Good to know they are NOT wimps:)

T-Bird said...

Paula, the Skins play tomorrow. Monday night with the Giants.

Mema Jo said...

Wondering if our Royal Couple will come in for a short visit to turn on the night light??????

BBL

stronghunter said...

Yep, they turned on the light. I posted a couple of pictures.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi,Gang!
Wahoo!!! Two eagles! Oops--double POOF! What a welcome sight, though.

Well, we're home, and unpacked. Stopped in Corona on the way home and ate at a Greek fast food place Hubby used to frequent when he worked at the Fender Corona facility. Yummy gyros! Best ever!
Beautiful pictures, everyone! Don't work too hard digging out!

Well, fatigue has set in--gonna go for a panda nap! Will be back later to check in.

Ms Bookworm said...

BTW, super glad the water's back on, and everyone's power is holding.
Hope there's no more snow for a while!

hedgie said...

Oops for sure!!! Eagles in BWE, too.
Missed ours.
Wonder if the birds did that or if the weather caused it to fall?

magpie said...

I am confused...even with a refresh I see an Eagle at BWO, and two in the nest at BWE... ??

IS BWO just stuck or what do you think ?

magpie said...

now BWO is empty...guess it was stuck

magpie said...

Welcome back to your roost Andy.

Got to go out for awhile.

xo TTFN xo

magpie said...

And right about now if the wedding went off on schedule in Bluefield, everyone could be merry-making by now ♥

hedgie said...

Someone is bound and determined not to let us see a head!

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Margy there was an eagle at BWO...it just poofed

hedgie said...

BWO hasn't updated since 5:10....guess it is kaput for good.

paula eagleholic said...

Gone at BWE

paula eagleholic said...

Mine is updating

magpie said...

try your refresh Hedgie....
it's been kinda funny like that all day and for a few days.

Toddler Moon trying to catch Jupiter in a cloudless sky...

NillaWafer said...

Never heard of a Toddler Moon but i did have a Jazzy moon here and she left with Skittles..lol Im hungry and dont know what i want..Hmmmmm

hedgie said...

It finally updated again, but empty, crooked nest!

NillaWafer said...

why change i have gone to Wal Mart in flannel jammie bottoms middle of night n slippers...

Lolly said...

Good evening1 Sorry I missed the visit, but I can look at your pictures.

Have three pumpkin rolls in the refrig. Getting ready to go make banana nut bread. Have ripe bananas...must bake! Boys love banana nut bread!

Yahoo! Jack goes to the doctor in the morning. It has been a long week! BUT, he has done great.

Paula, will you go to work in the morning? Like your snowman. Any relation to the hyper snowman?

Andy, so glad you had a good weekend. Sounded super!

Lynne2 said...

Hi all!
Glad to see everyone weathered the storm without too much drama!
Lolly, I'ms so sorry you fell again...goodness please be careful!
Andy, I am so glad you had such a nice weekend!
Thelma, glad the water is back on...boy, that's a nuisance!
We shoveled paths to the bird feeders, and cleared the patio and my little flower bed out back. And then I had not one but two very amazing bird rescues....at two different times today, we came in to the sun porch to find birds that had flown in and couldn't figure out how to get back out the door. I was able on both occasions to approach them (they were exhausted but seemed uninjured), pick them up and then I took them outside in the sun and held them in my hands until they were warm and had their wits about them again. Hoped all over me before flying off! It was so precious!!! One was a sparrow, and the other a female house finch. What an amazing experience!

stronghunter said...

Just talked to Susan. The plan was for my children to be here tonight to celebrate the December birthdays, but I would not want them to try! People are having problems getting out of the neighborhood. We will celebrate later.

Lynne2 said...

and my elbow feels GREAT! Not even taking the pain meds every 4 hours anymore. ( I was taking Darvocet...I take it occasionally for my back anyway. I have ZERO tolerance for pretty much anything else that is a painkiller. The Dr. was concerned that it wouldn't be strong enough! hahaha!! He has no idea what a tuff ole b***h I am!)

Lynne2 said...

that's good Shirley, better safe than sorry so everyone is around for many more celebrations!

stronghunter said...

That would be amazing, Lynne. We had some birds that seemed to want to come into the house this afternoon. That would have been exciting for George.

I once rescued a titmouse from a screen porch. It did not hop on me; it tried to bite me. You must have the magic touch.

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Moosies each have opposite missing antlers.

Lynne2 said...

OH NO!!! I got dive bombed by an angry mother titmouse once! Her fledgling baby was sitting very precariously on a ledge, so I scooped it up with the intention of putting it back in the tree on a branch. WELL, that ungrateful little titmouse made a noise so loud when I picked him up and a split second later her comes mama at my head!!! I open my hands and he flew out all by himself into the tree anyway!
Steve got a picture of the sparrow and I will try to post tomorrow. I guess the birds are looking for places to roost out of the wind or something.

stronghunter said...

Will and I have been dive bombed by angry mockingbirds. Those little guys really mean business when they come after you. I admire their pluck.

Lynne2 said...

Shirley I have bird feeders suction cupped to a couple windows (thought the birds might hit the windows but they haven't) and my cats LOVE to sit and watch them!

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly - snowmen are NOT related! I will be heading to work in the morning, Christmas breakfast at 8am at Bob Evans.

Lynne- glad the elbow is feeling so much better! Is the numbness gone yet?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Lynne2 said...

You aren't kidding! Those mocking birds can be very defensive of their nests!

paula eagleholic said...

Did the bears ever make it to Baltimore for their game today?

stronghunter said...

I once had some little bird fly right up to George's face when he was watching from the window. It really looked like the bird was teasing him.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good evening everybody. Just got home from the wedding. It was beautiful but really long. Drew and Sammie got married and Drew and Gabriel (their baby boy) got baptized! Beautiful ceremony and of course my baby boy was so handsome in the tuxedo!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley I copied and put your pics of this evening's visit along with the few I had in the Momster's album.

paula eagleholic said...

My dogs love the birds too. Boo was stalking the back feeder this afternoon. Finally got him in with a biscuit, little rascal!

paula eagleholic said...

Gotta go feed the doggies and have some dinner myself. BBIALW

stronghunter said...

Glad they were able to have the ceremony today, Sharon.

stronghunter said...

I have not been anywhere yet. Waiting for the snow plow.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Sharon! I bet it won't be too many more years that you will go to a wedding and be able to sit right up in the front pew! Then I know you are going to cry your eyes out with love!

Lynne - Amazing about your bird rescues. They were probably seeking shelter and got stuck inside! I can't get over how you are recovering from your surgery! No more pain - that is a blessing.

Talked with Robert and he is doing great and he said not any pain just an
awareness that something was done. They told him to be as active as he felt he could.

Lynne2 said...

time for supper....BBL

Lynne2 said...

Good news that Robert is doing so well after surgery too!!!

stronghunter said...

Good news about Robert, Jo.

stronghunter said...

Lynne, your surgery was really quick. It is nice when you can do that.

stronghunter said...

Thanks for putting my pictures in the album, Jo. Please put any of the others you want to in there. I know I have not tried to do that. Someday I will take the time to figure it out. As I said, I have more than 100 pictures. It just seems overwhelming right now.

magpie said...

It's time for Dana to check in!
I am headed next door to neighbor lady's - but will call her from there....I don't think a "little prayer" was going to help much with this snow!

Good to hear from you too Lynne...
sounds like recovery is bounding!
and glad that Robert is doing well too Jo
I will check pics later and see if I have any that are not posted.

TTFN xoxox
Nilla: Toddler Moon, well it is a few days past Newborn and Baby Moon!
I have my pj's on under my camo bibs - ha ha, love jammies !
xo

Mema Jo said...

I am off to have an evening cup of coffee before it gets too late.
We did go out towards Frederick and I must give the State Roads Dept a round of applause - those roads are spotless of any snow!

magpie said...

Lynne - when you said rescued birds HOPED ALL OVER YOU, I thought you misspelled POOPED !!
Guess you meant Hopped...
my mind, don't know what has happened to it !

xo bye

wvgal_dana said...

Sorry haven't been back in till now. Trying to get everything ready in case I go tomorrow.

God and Ed took care of me again. I just put 2 pair of ocks on and a knock came at the door. Man across the street said he would shovel my driveway, ramp and porch. Ed knew the man and had spoken with him often.

I came in the bedroom and cried HAPPY TEARS ( :

stronghunter said...

That is wonderful, Dana. So happy that you have a good neighbor who came to your rescue.

paula eagleholic said...

Deets at snowmancam

wvgal_dana said...

Just had a Margy check-up call as I was putting that on the blog.

Yes Shirley I was really surprised.

God is so good and our Eagle Prayers work so well ( :

Going to get something to eat and rest my eyes.

God Bless All
Anyone that must go out Prayers for Safety
Prayers for those that need them that are not feeling well.

paula eagleholic said...

Frederick County does a great job with their roads. I am clear and ready to go!

Jo, so glad to hear about Robert. Sounds like he'll be able to enjoy the holidays.

Awww, Dana, so nice.

My nice neighbor snowblowed the sidewalk, and the other took off the last couple inches off my driveway and all the way up to my door...she loves to shovel snow!

stronghunter said...

Still waiting for the plow here.

ceil said...

Paula the Bears made it to Baltimore. Ravens won 31 to 7. MM watched them clear the stadium last night from her apartment.

Mema Jo said...

Dana So good to know that there are such caring people in the world and especially right across the street! ((hugs))

Judie said...

Hello everyone,

Deer at Snowman. Snowman beginning to look as if he belongs on Food Network. All else seems quiet -- Diego sleeping.

Paula, really enjoyed watching your dogs play in the snow. Seems they where having a really fun time.

Yep, I keep telling the doctors about the reaction but they know better and always dismiss me. Don't mean to offend but I really have issues with physicians who cannot or will not listen to patients.

Lolly, sorry the news has more rain headed to Dallas. Please stay in and NO MORE FALLING DOWN!

Jo, so glad Robert seems to be doing so well. Please keep us posted. Prayers for quick and complete recovery.

Sharon, so glad the wedding took place. Know your boy looked gorgeous.

Lynne, take it easy with the recovery. No point going backwards.

Shirley, sorry the December birthdays celebration is on hold BUT ... later is better in this weather.

Andy, glad you're home safe.

Silly critters outside. Put tons of seeds out for squirrels and birds before snowfall. Well, there they were this afternoon all swarming around like little Oliver Twists -- wanting more but unable to figure out how to dig deep.

Off to watch some t.v.

stronghunter said...

Hi Judie,

You sound much better tonight. That's good!

hedgie said...

Jo, glad you had a safe trek out!
Dana and Paula both had guardian angels today as did Christie and I! Certainly no way I could have done anything with the driveway----Margy would have been dispatching the hearse for me.
Lynne, congrats on your bird save! SO glad that your recovery is so good. Just please be careful. And Roberts' doing well is also excellent, Jo!

hedgie said...

Judie, I have real issues with Drs. like that, and I have been known to tell them off. The ones who are younger than I am and the physician assistants are the worst-- I REALLY tell off----I tell them flat-out that I know that I know more than they do, that I've been in this field a lot longer than they have, and that they will listen to and respect my opinion and suggestions. I do not deal well with incompetence when it comes to someones' life.

paula eagleholic said...

The Ravens did play today...they won

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Ceil! I heard they were clearing out the stadium...but wasn't sure if the Bears finally made it to town or not.

paula eagleholic said...

Lisa's response about the BWO cam

"We won't be able to fix that for a long while too -- the access road will be too wet to hold the bucket truck"

:(:(

Sounds like they need a really tall ladder!

paula eagleholic said...

Deets are back in the distance at snowmancam

Woody starting to lean to the right just a tad

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, they just took off.

Lolly, I'll bet your house smells so good! I'm going to try to make some cookies later this week...still don't know what to make for Christmas dinner dessert.

Mema Jo said...

Don't forget to address a card to Granny Riffe c/o Mr & Mrs Tom Riffe
and place in the mail tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

I just bet those TV's moved that BWO cam. Just looks like something they would do. At least they are large enough... lol

Mema Jo said...

Paula try making Plum Pudding
Hubby's mom and his aunt always made it
It was the RUM topping that made it so
delicious. No - I've never made it.

paula eagleholic said...

Ton of school closures...wonder if they will all get an early Christmas vacation?

Deets back at snowman

floralgirl said...

Rum...did you say rum? sounds good.

Mema Jo said...

Someone told me Federal Govt has closed offices..... Suzanne had scheduled to be off this whole week.

Mema Jo said...

The strangest things bring you out of the green house, woman!

Did you go anywhere to sell wreaths today?

hedgie said...

I remember hearing one year about how much they paid people who would come in to clean snow out of the stadiums-----it was A LOT of money!! And anyone could come.

floralgirl said...

Nothing strange about rum! We have just finally got the lane cleared. It is about 300' long- long day for hubby using the snowblower to get it done. Our vehicles aren't even completetly uncovered yet. No school tomorrow and not sure we could get out easily yet. I hear the road into Sharpsburg is still a mess.

Mema Jo said...

Get the Tylenol out - Hubby's and your arms should be numb. So thankful it was a light snow and not a wet snow.

floralgirl said...

Already gave him Advil and put him to bed in front of the tv:)

Mema Jo said...

You are a very good wife.
Is your Christmas shopping finished?

floralgirl said...

Yep. Did most of it online.

So nice to know everyone is safe and sound and surely hope tomorrow's aches and pains will be tolerable.

Hope all will continue to take care and use caution.

Lynn, we could likely have a lifetime discussion.

Turning my light out. Leaving the night light on for others. Andy, if you are awake later, please set the alarm system.

stronghunter said...

Judie, it sounds as if you just need to turn Lynn loose on those doctors.

hedgie said...

Good night to those turning in.
Judie, no doubt we could!!!

Margy just texted to say that she has NO INTERNET!!!! No alerts needed.

hedgie said...

You betcha', Shirley! Guess I sounded very nasty, but it IS a pet peeve.

Margy did get nest shots posted to E-M album before Verizon went down.

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, thanks for the suggestion, but plum pudding...yuck! Just give me the rum...

stronghunter said...

Was wondering how they react when you say those things, Lynn--you have e-mail.

hedgie said...

Just within the last hour or so, deet must have come in to my feeder---and it looks like they must have battled to get to what little corn was under the snow----it is so churned up that there's hardly any snow left out there!

Did see one small doe just before dusk who was digging in the snow out in the woods---got some pics that I will try to put on blog tomorrow.

Margy says net is coming back up slowly.

stronghunter said...

My mother-in-law always bought a plum pudding at Christmas time.

wvgal_dana said...

Poor Margy gets time off and can't spend it in her favorite blog.

Does anyone see the Christmas forcast? Haven't read back in blog.

stronghunter said...

Around here, rain, Dana. Maybe freezing rain in WV.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Shirley that is the forecast I've heard also.

stronghunter said...

Yeah, can't say I want more snow, but rain/freezing rain will be a mess, especially with what we have on the ground now.

magpie said...

Oh man give me snow over freezing rain!!!

magpie said...

Dana !
Well, the "little prayer" you asked for moved mountains (of snow!)

So glad, to know there are these kinds of angels amongst us....sounds like Paula has one in her neighborhood too, and Megan and hubby seem to be their own angels today :(
But we already know they are angels! xoxo

magpie said...

Yeah, give the doctors H$%#.

You are our precious pals, and they need to listen!!!!
That applies to Judie, Shirley, and anyone here that has ever had such a problem.

Hrumpf !

magpie said...

Lynn, thanks for conveying my message.
Ha Ha, two "old gals" texting back and forth! I sometimes use the abbreviations but usually do the old style, word for word...☺

I was cooking liver, maybe that is what shut the internet down!

ha ha

Nice to be back on

magpie said...

But I do remember the computer staying up when I was cooking the Beef you-know-what (starts with a "T")

magpie said...

Jo, dear Jo
I'm sorry, but my last three pictures will be the first of the evening visit, then I am not sure what kind of order everything is in.

Your imcompetent pal,
Magpie

paula eagleholic said...

I agree, would rather have snow.

Hitting the hay, early morning.

Catch ya'll tomorrow!

Hugs to all ♥

hedgie said...

Oh, no more tongue!!! Glad that you switched to liver, Margy! Of course, I don't eat it, either!!
Takes me forever to compose a text message---my next phone will have a full keyboard!

magpie said...

How about Lemon Meringue Pie for Christmas dessert ??
Yum, sounds good to me !

magpie said...

I am a poke too, Lynn.
Kids do it these days without even looking! It comes in handy, but old fashioned conversation is great too, live talk I mean.
xo

stronghunter said...

Margy, I hope you don't get freezing rain over snow or snow over freezing rain, either. Just sunshine and a nice, slow melt is what we really need.

magpie said...

Whoo Boy pretty soon we are going to SPLIT. pretty soon.
I'm going to start battening down the hatches, hope all will be okay moving around in the slick stuff Monday if you have to. My parking lot is like a skating rink now.

Back to say Good Night again, later, but in the meantime:
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥

magpie said...

Right On Shirley! I work 6 pm Christmas Eve until 6 am Christmas morning, and was hoping to get up to the grandson's 25 miles away, before daybreak...might not happen.

Hey, this is the last official night of Autumn.

stronghunter said...

I can't do text messaging at all with my phone. It is just more than I can handle. My children know that I don't send text messages. Actually, they don't do too well with my keypad, either.

Yes, I will opt for a full keyboard next time.

hedgie said...

I'm going to say my goodnights. Taking a muscle relaxant before I hit the tub and try to get my back back in shape! Will see you fine, fowl friends in the morning! Prayers for all.

stronghunter said...

That is quite a work schedule, Margy. Susan says that she thinks her boyfriend will work Christmas night. He's in retail, on overnights, and they have to set up for the day after Christmas sales.

stronghunter said...

Good night, Lynn and Margy. Rest well.

Mema Jo said...

Wow came back to say Good night just before the S P L I T
