What a Bright Sunny day compared to yesterdays snowfall.. Norma good to see you and magpie and stronghunter.. Checked cam didnt see the pair but snow messed up tells me they were home...lol Thought maybe i see Tian playing in snow but he wasnt.. Need to get dressed and go shovel car out not that im going any where but ya never know..lol
Howdy Jim yup we had a doooozy of a snow storm here prolley 2 ft and now winds have picked up.. Makes me wish i was back in sunny Florida like i was last week...lol
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.
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!!!
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.
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:)
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..
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.
Whoops---missed y'all Brought over from old thread (sorry!):

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...:(
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
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.
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!
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.
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!)
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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 !
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just stopping in to say GoodNight.. Just ate a small bowl of bean soup.. played Pogo and got my canasta and make over game badges.. Added an album on Facebook from my friend Dana Eddy she bands birds.. some really good pictures of her with RedTail Hawks...Son goes to Ortho doctors tomarrow praying no surgery needed.. Jazzy was Happy with her Skittles... There something on tv i made a mental note to watch tonight but i cant remember what..lol Need to take more Ginko i think... Stay in stay warm and safe.. Hugs, Nilla
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.
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
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!
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!
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
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 ♥
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hi Jim and Nilla.
Enjoy the visit. I must take off for awhile.
BBL.
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.
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!!!
thanks for the call over Norma...:)
MORNIN' NILLA!---GREAT to have you with us again!!---Have missed you!---PLEASE tell JILL----REALLY-REALLY miss her too!!!
Well, darn I missed the eagle visit. Shoveling snow, an endless task it seems.
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.
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.
eagle back BWO
Which Alex Cross is it, Judie?
I'm reading London Bridges right now.

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

I see we had a visit :)

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.
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...
Jim - I read about the 16th exam and of course watched the video. Also read about Su Lin redecorating!
Oh yes, Steve - We were able to clean off our cars after we found them! lol
Whoops---missed y'all
Brought over from old thread (sorry!):

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!
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.
I haven't read that one, Judie.
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.
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

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.

Good that you weren't hurt, Lolly. I have not ventured beyond the porch.
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
Posted some more pics and video of the dogs in the snow...
Paula's Prints
Nice pictures, Paula. Barking got George's attention.
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!
2 eagles still at BWO, one is chowing down.
Great pics in the osprey gallery, including plenty from today!
Thanks, Shirley! Back to wrapping!
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!

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...:(
Eagles at BWO.
paula that is a cute video
Loretta nice bird pics
Wanda just looked at your pics. Love them
Love the pics and the video Paula.
Took me a minute to realize why all the barking!
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
Flock of turkeys at Pix PA.
Very nice, pics, Wanda. Love the sun coming up.
Are the Skins playing today?
Tomorrow, Paula. They play the Giants.
Thanks, Shirley! Guess they have 2 Monday night games this year.
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:)

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.
BTW, super glad the water's back on, and everyone's power is holding.
Hope there's no more snow for a while!
Oops for sure!!! Eagles in BWE, too.
Missed ours.
Wonder if the birds did that or if the weather caused it to fall?
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 ?
now BWO is empty...guess it was stuck
Welcome back to your roost Andy.
Got to go out for awhile.
xo TTFN xo
And right about now if the wedding went off on schedule in Bluefield, everyone could be merry-making by now ♥
Someone is bound and determined not to let us see a head!
Yes, Margy there was an eagle at BWO...it just poofed
BWO hasn't updated since 5:10....guess it is kaput for good.
Gone at BWE
Mine is updating
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...
car is warming up...

bye
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
It finally updated again, but empty, crooked nest!
why change i have gone to Wal Mart in flannel jammie bottoms middle of night n slippers...
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!
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!
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.
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!)
that's good Shirley, better safe than sorry so everyone is around for many more celebrations!
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.
LOL Moosies each have opposite missing antlers.
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.
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.
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!
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?
You aren't kidding! Those mocking birds can be very defensive of their nests!
Did the bears ever make it to Baltimore for their game today?
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.
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!
Shirley I copied and put your pics of this evening's visit along with the few I had in the Momster's album.
My dogs love the birds too. Boo was stalking the back feeder this afternoon. Finally got him in with a biscuit, little rascal!
Gotta go feed the doggies and have some dinner myself. BBIALW
Glad they were able to have the ceremony today, Sharon.
I have not been anywhere yet. Waiting for the snow plow.
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.
time for supper....BBL
Good news that Robert is doing so well after surgery too!!!
Good news about Robert, Jo.
Lynne, your surgery was really quick. It is nice when you can do that.
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.
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
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!
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
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 ( :
That is wonderful, Dana. So happy that you have a good neighbor who came to your rescue.
Deets at snowmancam
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.
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!
Still waiting for the plow here.
Paula the Bears made it to Baltimore. Ravens won 31 to 7. MM watched them clear the stadium last night from her apartment.
Dana So good to know that there are such caring people in the world and especially right across the street! ((hugs))
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.
Hi Judie,
You sound much better tonight. That's good!
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!
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.
The Ravens did play today...they won
Thanks, Ceil! I heard they were clearing out the stadium...but wasn't sure if the Bears finally made it to town or not.
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!
Deets are back in the distance at snowmancam
Woody starting to lean to the right just a tad
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.
Don't forget to address a card to Granny Riffe c/o Mr & Mrs Tom Riffe
and place in the mail tomorrow.
I just bet those TV's moved that BWO cam. Just looks like something they would do. At least they are large enough... lol
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.
Ton of school closures...wonder if they will all get an early Christmas vacation?
Deets back at snowman
Rum...did you say rum? sounds good.
Someone told me Federal Govt has closed offices..... Suzanne had scheduled to be off this whole week.
The strangest things bring you out of the green house, woman!
Did you go anywhere to sell wreaths today?
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.
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.
Get the Tylenol out - Hubby's and your arms should be numb. So thankful it was a light snow and not a wet snow.
Already gave him Advil and put him to bed in front of the tv:)
You are a very good wife.
Is your Christmas shopping finished?
Yep. Did most of it online.
I have started watching a TV Christmas movie sooooooo See you later..
Just stopping in to say GoodNight.. Just ate a small bowl of bean soup.. played Pogo and got my canasta and make over game badges.. Added an album on Facebook from my friend Dana Eddy she bands birds.. some really good pictures of her with RedTail Hawks...Son goes to Ortho doctors tomarrow praying no surgery needed.. Jazzy was Happy with her Skittles... There something on tv i made a mental note to watch tonight but i cant remember what..lol Need to take more Ginko i think... Stay in stay warm and safe.. Hugs, Nilla
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.
Judie, it sounds as if you just need to turn Lynn loose on those doctors.
Good night to those turning in.
Judie, no doubt we could!!!
Margy just texted to say that she has NO INTERNET!!!! No alerts needed.
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.
Jo, thanks for the suggestion, but plum pudding...yuck! Just give me the rum...
Was wondering how they react when you say those things, Lynn--you have e-mail.
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.
My mother-in-law always bought a plum pudding at Christmas time.
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.
Around here, rain, Dana. Maybe freezing rain in WV.
Yes Shirley that is the forecast I've heard also.
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.
Oh man give me snow over freezing rain!!!
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
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 !
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
But I do remember the computer staying up when I was cooking the Beef you-know-what (starts with a "T")
☺
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
I agree, would rather have snow.
Hitting the hay, early morning.
Catch ya'll tomorrow!
Hugs to all ♥
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!
How about Lemon Meringue Pie for Christmas dessert ??
Yum, sounds good to me !
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
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.
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 ♥
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good night, Lynn and Margy. Rest well.
Wow came back to say Good night just before the S P L I T
