Thanks for the new thread, will go get the others!

Lynne2 said...

brought this over from old thread, and THANKS STEVE...stay warm and dry!

wow Norma, so sad to have lost your mom at such a young age. I lost mine in my 40s as well, but not because she died...and that's a whole other sad ugly story.

UGH, can't get a picture on our cam. Maybe the wind?

Maybe Brother Cat got BLOWN onto the roof this morning!! LOL!

Lolly said...

Well, I called everyone over, but now I need to go back and read the blog.

Have been to NBG and see that there are two eaglets. Now to wait for numero tres!

Lolly said...

Good morning, Lynne. I will be back shortly! Gotta catch up!

magpie said...

What you said Norma on the other thread made sense of course Norma...
sorry for the sad Mom tales, I think many of us have them, but hope that a lot still have Happy Mom tales....

(( hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

Wanda, sounds like a glorious family evening...how about that creek being up so high near GG's ??

Wow !

magpie said...

I guess I should say 3 at BWE and one at BWO ☺

magpie said...

oh yeah, Thanks for the New Thread Steve ! an to Lolly for the holler over

magpie said...

taht bird squeak at the new Sutton site gives me a start !

Mits said...

Wanda, Judie works at George Washington University.

magpie said...

back to filing health insurance papers and other stuff

Boring ! But necessary

ttfn xo Good Day, All...

I think an umbrella could go inside out if the winds pick up

Lynne2 said...

Lolly is your bog drying out any yet?

hedgie said...

Wanda, glad that GG enjoyed the meal!! BTW--Judie teaches at George Washington Univ. Yep, lots of George's!!!

SIL Charlie spent most of night helping a friend move important stuff either up or out of his river-side home. It is highly stilted, but guess he has to worry about the possibility of collapse if the flooding is severe. ARGH!

normabyrd said...

Thanks LYNN--it was hard--because I became the mother!---younger sister was still in college!---remember my 1st turkey--WHOA!!--

magpie said...

can't understand why they say Watch and not Warning for this area Lynn


local rag letter to editor thank you to people regarding the snowstorm....from mayor of Hedgesville..mentions lots of folks but left out one very important entity:

The Hedgesville Volunteer Fire Department !!

very disappointing :(

hedgie said...

Yes, Margy, thankful that I still have my mom. Lost my dad when I was 20---he was only 50. Much too young. Miss him still , very much.
Lynne, sorry about your situation.

normabyrd said...

LISA'S CATS used to like to sit on top of the kitchen cabinets!! wow!
Would drive her dog NUTS!! ho!

normabyrd said...

What job did 'BLUEFIELD SHARON'
apply for?---SHE CAN DO ANYTHING!!
'YOU GO GIRL'!!!

Lolly said...

I'm back!

Well, the bog is slowly drying, but still standing water. You can not walk in that area of the yard. No rain for a week predicted, but as soon as it dries more rain will come. Going to be a wet spring. It is what it is.

Wanda, Mother was not in a nursing home. She could not live alone and only my brother lived close. It was "Retirement" living, like living in an apartment house but with meals furnished. No one was allowed in the halls in pj's or robes. Everyone was dressed, no nurses, etc. It was beautiful and Mother knew many of the residents.

Larry visited her every evening. Sandy's mother lived there as well and so the two of them visited there every evening. Mother still drove when she first lived there. They had parking for residents. On the ground floor some had patios.

magpie said...

Sharon was interviewed by Reese at Norfolk Norma....her interview did not make the news...
wah !

Costume Lady said...

Wow, I am really behind...didn't know about the third chicklet at BWE.
Yes, Margy, the Tuscarora is halfway up to the Townsend house. Don't know how far up it is at the bottom of GG's property. Will check that out if it isn't raining too hard.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagle Morning Lolly.

Sorry about the Mom stories. Sad whenever we loose a parent. No matter what age we are :(

Prayers for Normas friend and Lynn-Hedgies SIL friend plus other that are near river or streams that will be overflowing. Be careful everyone driving out there.

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda don't go down by old Mill or go into Star Acres or Baltimore Street. Go King St. then Mill Rd. then to GG's.

magpie said...

WANDA

only TWO chicks at BWE, I was counting the parent !! lol sorry !

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning - wet one that it is.
Good to come in on a fresh thread but takes time to read the previous. I think I am all caught up....

normabyrd said...

Thanks WANDA!---I--too--thought she taught at GEORGETOWN!---BEGAN TO THINK THERE WERE NO 'WVU' FOLKS ON THE BLOG!!!

magpie said...

Norma
hope you saw my post a few posts up...Sharon did not apply for anything, she had some interview time with Reese from NBG - and it was recorded, but she did not make the "cut "

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

did anyone email outdoor channel?

hedgie said...

Really precious footage of Yun Zi wrestling with mom. His climbing skills are great. And he has his very own bedroom!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

So the 2nd chick hatched overnite?

aww look at NBG chicks in view

paula eagleholic said...

That oldest is aggresive already! Mom trying to feed it, it's pecking at sibling

Costume Lady said...

Oh, Lolly, I know those retirement villiages and assisted living places are wonderful. We had elderly friends who lived in Florida and both (husband & wife) had to go into assisted living. We visited them a few times and it was beautiful. Had a huge lobby with many comfy couches and chairs, a grand piano, plenty reading materials, TVs, VCRs and many tapes to choose from. Beautiful dining room with chandeliers, etc. Rooms were cozy and pleasant.

Mits said...

yes noticed the pecking this a.m....

normabyrd said...

MITS---Think WV has the same forecast all over the State of WV!!
FLOODING---The POTOMAC RIVER turns A dirty brown!!---NOT A FAVORITE COLOR!!

paula eagleholic said...

You can see the fuzz on top of chicks head!

Mema Jo said...

My still cam is up
Is everyone else NOT able to get the Live Feed up?

Mits said...

I know cute little fuzzy top

wvgal_dana said...

NBG feeding both her little ones. Now going to do the wiggle back down to keep them warm. Oh I just love the color on the cam.

I had OK earlier this am and had been watching. Can't get it now. Oh well maybe someone else now got my place and is enjoying seeing the 3 eggs.

Lolly said...

Brookridge Retirement Living

This is where Mother lived. Wish it had more pictures. When we visited Mother I also was privileged to get reacquainted with my second grade teacher. She was thrilled to introduce me to her friends. She was still volunteering at a hospital, the shuttle took her, and she taught an early morning excercise class there at Brookridge. (She was legally blind)

Costume Lady said...

DANA, thanks for the Heads Up on the flooded roads:)

paula eagleholic said...

I sent outdoor channel an email

Lolly said...

Mothers apt was on the third floor, right above the main entrance. Those two big windows, right in front were her windows. She had binoculars right by her chair, right by those windows.

magpie said...

Paula I had live feed up around 7 o'clock but I can't get it now

you know me, I only try once in awhile...

paula eagleholic said...

Both parents at NBG

gotta go shower and get ready for DIL baby shower...

Mema Jo said...

WOW! I have 10 viewers over on the MN Bound with the GHO nesting. That is a record number.

getting very windy out - guess that is the only way the rain will move on!

Lolly said...

Norma, I certainly wish I had seen that program with Emmitt. Maybe they will air it again. Dern! I had thought of it earlier and then forgot.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Paula

I hope you bought all PINK GIRLY
things for your new gd to be! Have fun!

Lolly said...

Margy, going to have Jack fiddle with my laptop. Can get OK on the pc but not here. Bet it has something to do with my firewall.

magpie said...

the hatch was overnight Paula at Norfolk...we didn't see it on the first feeding because the parents could not hear us hollering MOVE OUT OF THE WAY !!

Costume Lady said...

That is a beautiful Retirement Village, Lolly. I don't think we have anything that Grand near here.

Lynne2 said...

No Jo, I still can't get the live feed.

WOW it is really pouring here now. I was kind of hoping to hear some thunder! Nothing terrifies me or fascinates me more that severe weather season in spring and summer.

Poor eagles, must be tough keeping the babies warm in this mess.

magpie said...

Wanda - you did see this..
ONLY TWO CHICKS AT BWE...
mommy made Three total birds

hedgie said...

Margy, I also noticed that omission by the mayor....shame on her!

magpie said...

Have Fun Paula , hope you win the mustard in the tissue paper game if they play it !

Costume Lady said...

Remember, Paula won a gift certificate (compliments of Shirley) to Penny's. They have a lot of sweet girly things:)

magpie said...

one thing I dislike about filing...and going through papers and tossing, I feel like I am throwing out a whole forest of trees
:(

ttfn

normabyrd said...

LOLLY---Pray that HUSBAND is feeling better this am!---

Lolly said...

Jack is doing just fine. He does very well taking it easy. He usually has several books going at a time. If he is not reading he is working crossword puzzles or on the computer. On the computer, he visits newpapers all over the country and reads the editorials. NEVER, I say NEVER, play Trivial Pursuit with him, unless you are playing teams and then be on his team. lol

Lolly said...

My memory is so bad. Never play TP with me on your team. lol Unless, you want to loose.

normabyrd said...

I have always loved watching the NORFOLK CHICKS & NEST!----Call them the 'REBELS'--

Mits said...

I had emailed the Memphis Zoo, about how their female panda was doing after her AI in November...sad news

Hello and thank you for your interest in the Memphis Zoo.

Unfortunately, an ultrasound 2 weeks ago confirmed that Ya Ya miscarried.
:(

Mema Jo said...

Egg roll at our nest..

Mema Jo said...

We are running short of having any panda cubs to watch! :<(

Mema Jo said...

The flock of Baltimore zoo penguins are being fed! Lots of scurrying around by the seagull..

normabyrd said...

Thanks MARGY!---I didn't understand!----This is the 1st am that I have spent any time on the blog!!---learn so much from you folks!!----I believe all my grand-kids understand that 'GRANNY' loves NATURE!!---& (THAT'S A GOOD THING)!---just wish we lived closer---maybe sometime soon we will again!!

Lynne2 said...

Hey, don't forget everyone to SPRING FORWARD before you go to sleep tonight!

Mema Jo said...

Remind me again tonight Lynne! lol

Mema Jo said...

Headed for some street clothes and some banking.......... BBILW

Costume Lady said...

Uh Oh, I'm a day late and a dollar short. Paula has already been shopping. I would love to see all the pretty little gifts that Ajay opens...maybe Paula will take photos and share them with us:)

MARGY, yes, I did see where I misunderstood you about the 3 eagles:)
Be careful when you go out, there is a lot of flooding.

Costume Lady said...

I need to get dressed too...it's almost 12 noon! Have a ton of clothes to wash:(

wvgal_dana said...

Good Eagle Morning Paula and Mema Jo ( :

Paula have fun at the baby shower.
Again contragulations to you and Mom and Dad.

magpie said...

why not just put on your birthday suit and wash clothes, Wanda.... much more fun that way ☺

magpie said...

if my memory serves me right

magpie said...

I never made it outta my pj's and don't plan to until after I reclaim that hour of sleep we are going to lose tonight

get rested first then go take some pictures...want to see the creek at Swinging Bridge and all the stuff right around the corner from here

TTFN - Be Careful everyone...

wvgal_dana said...

Wow Mema Jo went to the otter cam and all green vertical strip with red in between. Checked out my DC panda cam same things. Wonder what happened to them on my computer. Never before!!! grrr

I have to tell you all this. You know Ed was called the "Candy Man" not just becuse he liked candy. Due also to giving sandwich bags to grandkids and nieces and nephews when they came around. This morning I washed out 7 yes I did say 7 plastic containers with lids. That this man had candy in. That doesn't include the one machine he puts certain candies in that kids could turn the knob and get candy. Nor the plastic bowl that is on this thing that you roll it and the candy comes out (it has a lid you have to take off), nor did that include to little wedding boxes of mints, nor did that include the glass bowl with lid that had "black jelly beans in it", and last of all those 7 I washed did not include what he had in his dresser where the two doors open up. So I think Kara his nephews one child did give him the right name "The Candy Man" lol He gave away more than he ate.

magpie said...

Ed was a good-hearted man, for sure Dana...


BWE nest is strangely devoid of the many fish that have been there in recent days...

okay panda nap time
xo

glo said...

Good morning. OK so its afternoon both there and here. Busy morning here. Not watching the nest but I guess on the live feed none of you are watching either. I worry about all that water and Belle with her 4th and final egg and this time she has been sitting for a few weeks. Argh!!!. Must think positive but I'm sorry it sort of stinks when the only lost eggs I know of this year inspite of the weather are 3 at NCTC. Makes me so sad for our pair and especially Belle. I must switch gears to happier thoughts. Made a good size picture order today. Some for me , some for gifts and a couple that sold. Thats always a happy thought. Stay dry or think spring and flowers.

Mema Jo said...

Live feed is up/running for me.
I just had to be patient for the timer to start. Circles were continuing but our eagle was moving and suddenly timer started (15 sec or more) and circles (Ringos) disappeared

magpie said...

wow that white Eagle tail is something when it is all splayed out !

Guess any bluebells and spring beaties along the creek are going to be under water for sure :(

Wonder how the spring peepers feel about all them water too.....hope we hear them at the nest site, and I hope to hear some locally here too

magpie said...

"all them water, "
wonder what that means

Sounds good Glo...your photos....
wonder how our Bob Quinn is doing at Blackwater today, hope he is turning some bucks too !

his eye surgery is Monday...

headed out with camera and rain clothes...
see you all later on
xo

Costume Lady said...

Be careful, Margy. Too early for Bluebells and Spring Beauties, I believe...at least, mine aren't blooming yet. Only have crocus blooming. I can barely see them for the leaves. It must have snowed leaves because that is what is left after the snow melted! I'll have to wait til the leaves dry out so I can blow them out of the flower beds. The rake would break off any tender foliage or buds. Might have all those leaves til June, the way the weather has been. And to think, we have April showers to go yet! YIKES!

Costume Lady said...

Those Spring peepers are probably up on top of those Spring BEATIES to get away from all them water. MARGY;)Tee Hee!

stronghunter said...

Hi,

I just found something interesting. At the bottom right hand side of the screen for this blog on Firefox, there is a little red circle with an exclamation point on it. I checked it out and it said "Warning: Contains unauthenticated content." I guess that's the mixed content being displayed, but when I clicked on it, it told me that I have visited this website 1,212 times.

Costume Lady said...

When we came home last night, the Spring Peepers were sounding off at full force. The Capt. said "what on eath is that noise?". I had to remind him that Spring is here and so are our peepers:)

Jim

Costume Lady said...

WOW! How cool is that Shirley...wonder how many times all of us have visited the site. I don't have Firefox:(

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING, JIM...WE SURE DO LOVE OUR EAGLES!

stronghunter said...

I live on the edge of a designated wetland for the Chesapeake Bay. A very small section of it is on the corner of my backyard. It is surely living up to its name right now. But, hey, I saw the sun for a few minutes. Now it has disappeared again.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, this blog is so theraputic, I feel the stress leaving each time I get on here, BUT, clothes in the dryer...did I ever tell you that I hate to do laundry? The steps are a little daunting. We have a split foyer house and 2 flights of stairs. But, thank the Lord I don't have to use an old time washer and hang clothes on the line!

stronghunter said...

I have decided I really like Firefox. I can't get the nest cam to work on IE anymore. It just freezes up, so I started using Firefox, and it works very nicely. It also has a tab for most visited sites, so I use that. And, when I started using it for the blog, I found that it has spell check, another nice feature.

stronghunter said...

Hi Jim! How are things in California?

Costume Lady said...

Shirley, we live in some kind of WATER SHED DISTRICT, but I need to slow down and read the sign to know what it is. Most people need to stop and smell the roses or coffee, I need to stop and read the sign:) LOL

magpie said...

..guess you didn't take my suggestion earlier Tiger ☺

copy that about the spring flowers, just hoping that the roots and bulbs that would make the flowers aren't all bye bye

last night we could hear the peepers from the live NCTC feed...
Peeper-eared Mits put out the alert !
OH I saw that Made in the Shade business truck again last night!

well, I look silly but I hope I stay dry.

Hi Afternoon and late morning West coast folks

xo

Costume Lady said...

I shall try Firefox when I come back. Maybe that will give me sound on our cam. I know I can delete it if I don't like it.

movin said...

Howdy Loretta, Norma, Mits, Margie, Jo, Wanda, Paula ... Dana, haven't heard from you a lot lately, [:~D] ... Lynne and SHunter.

Glad to see you all this A.M.



C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

stronghunter said...

My understanding regarding the wetland is that we are not supposed to clear it or build things in it, but some of my neighbors have put fences in it.

One lady actually put a large privacy fence right in the little stream that runs through it, damming the stream up. After a couple of us complained, the Corps of Engineers told her that she had to put wire under the fence so that the water can flow through.

The man from the corps told me that she was going to cause herself more problems than she was going to cause anyone else, but I am thankful that I'm downstream.

The stream does not drain a large area and often dries up completely. Right now, I am sure there's plenty of water, and I just might hear some spring peepers.

stronghunter said...

I see it is raining again at the nest. Maybe it has never stopped, but I can hear it now.

movin said...

Norma, I want to thank you copiously for the beautiful copy of

"WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA".

iT'S absolutely beautiful and full of gorgeous pictures of our eagles ... and a lot of other natural wonders.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

movin said...

StrongH, it's not bad here in So Cal, but kinda overcast and cool. I think it will get brighter and warmer later.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Lynne2 said...

Shirley, that's so funny that you can get the nest cam on Firefox! Because I did for the longest time and now I can't get it to run well. I use IE for that and other cams and FF for everything else! I'm sure there must be some logical explanation, but I can't figure it out!

Steve just got home from work and had to detour about a mile down the road....flooded at the quarry there. The rains looks to be just about over here now. Wind has died down some as well.

movin said...

I tried to get the live feed on Explorer last night, but something froze up and I had to shut down IE altogether....

I'm going to try it again now.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

stronghunter said...

Lynne, when I first started blogging here, I had some problems with Firefox blocking some sites I wanted to see, not sure why. I guess it had to do with pop-ups and some setting that was in place, but now it freezes if I use IE for the cam. I suppose it all has to do with settings on individual computers, but I really do not know.

movin said...

I got it to work on FireFox, although there was quite a wait for the circling arrow to drop off the screen. Strangely though, it was actually working when the arrow was circling this time.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

wvgal_dana said...

Well finally found where we are going to eat. Going to start getting ready.

I'll check back before leaving.

Lynne2 said...

sigh...sure wish I was more computer saavy!

Have fun Dana!

movin said...

Poor Liberty seems to have sunk out of sight in the egg cup ... they really have the edges of it built up this time.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Lynne2 said...

oh for Pete's sake....Jim, I have the cam up on IE and it's working, because I see the eagle moving her head, but now I have the never ending circling arrow on there! LOL!

wvgal_dana said...

Well off to do an errand, then hit a store, and then something to eat...

Jim nice seeing you on here. Each time I see you name I think "Semper Fi" ( :

Glad for now Nov.10th is a long way off.

bbl I'll catch up on comments then

sunny said...

NEWSFLASH***

This just in - live from the Clarion Inn in Shepherdstown WV. It's raining....and raining....and raining.......

Mema Jo said...

I am drinking my 3:00 coffee and getting ready to brave the storm and go to Mass. May need to wear my boots (almost typed boats)! lol

My live feed is still running from when I first turned it on.
And the Momma Owl is still in her eagles' nest. Oh how I hope she can stay and hatch those little ones. I remember that they are adorable especially when they start bobbin' around!

Mema Jo said...

Oh Sunny I forgot you were to be in Shepherdstown this weekend... Did you bring your paddles?

Mema Jo said...

The GHO was fluffing her feathers a bit. Before she settled down I did get to see 1 of her eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Belle is tenting big time and pulling some of the fluff up around the front of herself.

Mema Jo said...

Headed back the hallway for my Church clothes......

BBL

hedgie said...

Lazy day......still raining. Pot of chili on the stove---smells so-o-o good. Caught up on a few small chores and some paperwork, and even had a panda nap.

Judie said...

Wanda, I agree. Too many Georges so I vote to send Mason out of Town on a TRAIN!

Have another load of laundry. Then dinner. I think sauteed shrimp with garlic, butter/olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Asparagus for me and Cole slaw for Darth. Sure am sorry there won't be any turnips.

Hi Jim.

Jo, maybe you should take your boots AND your boat.

Did see NBG babies being fed today. Nice sight. Also, saw Noah being fed this a.m. Have much trouble getting NCTC -- very unhappy!

BBL

hedgie said...

Sunny, have you been to the nest yet, or is that on tomorrow's schedule??

hedgie said...

Shirley, no such little red thing on here when I opened in Firefox!! Do like the spell check feature. Fewer typos that way, LOL! Can't even get the cam at all, tho'----it said I needed to download Adobe (didn't know it was browser specific) and I did, but FF isn't recognizing that it's there. Duh....

hedgie said...

Me, too, Judie......even tho' I can't watch it for more than a minute or two when I do get it! Only one more week of that nonsense!!
No turnips??? Oh, No!! Guess what? I HATE turnips!!

hedgie said...

Shirley, NOW the red lock is there!!!
Yep, tracking me, too. Weird.

T-Bird said...

Did someone say Train?

stronghunter said...

Yes, it is a lock with a little red exclamation mark.

stronghunter said...

Haven't eaten many bites of turnip in my lifetime. My mother did not like them. The little bit I have had I don't care for them either. They're pretty tasteless. We ate turnip greens, but not the turnips.

Lynne2 said...

I love turnips mashed in with potatoes!

Lynn, you will really like Verizon, I think! Regarding FF and Adobe...when I installed it there was a separate set of instructions on the page for FF users.

According to my red exclamation point, I have only been on this site 108 times. HUH?

sandyshaw said...

Sunny, i didn't know you werehere. The coffee pot is on, and we're home, so do stop by. 304=876-1276

sandyshaw said...

I've figured out the right combination again.I get so frustrated when I can't join in. I love turnips,with green peas or mashed potatoes and lots of butter. I just discovered, after 35 years of marriage, so we have them often now.. With roast pork. Mmmmmm.

glo said...

I keep hoping when I check the blog that someone is going to say it has stopped raining. So when is it going to stop? First we had to stop the snow and now we have to stop the rain. At least I don't expect to be reading about any drought conditions out your way.

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at NBG

parent is sooo patient!

sandyshaw said...

discovered that Tom likes turnips too. Sometimes I wonder if I have any brain left at all. Btw I'm still dithering about a new computer--haven't had the nerve to commit yet. If Best Buy would guarantee that it would come with my very own computer geek I would feel better.

sandyshaw said...

OK, have I stunned everyone into silence? Hello everyone. Wanda, I think you live in the Rocky Marsh Run District. Please stay safe everyone.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh I think everything at the shower was pink! LOL...well maybe one or 2 green and yellow.

My live feed up and running good. Feeding over at NBG.

Waiting for Michael to get home...we are going suit shopping tomorrow and dinner with John and Ajay on Monday night, Tuesday night who knows and he's outta here on Weds to go visit GF and her family, then to work Fri and Sat. Will be a short and busy spring break!

paula eagleholic said...

Hi Sandy!

Oh, I forgot to give Ajay a pair of scissors so John could get snipped, LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Dog is in my lap, gotta go feed em....

hedgie said...

Whoo-Hoo, NORMA!!!! My Hoyas play your 'eers tonight for Big East championship!!!! Let's Go Hoyas!!! Heading to the dance, Sweet 16-bound. Sorry....love my Hoyas.

Chili was very good! Warming and filling.

sandyshaw said...

Egg roll, shaking off rain, snacking on leftovers, moving fluff, then wiggle, wiggle.

hedgie said...

Hi, Sandy!!! You should probably delete your comment with the phone #, gal!! Sunny is at the Clarion----call and leave her a message!!! You need to write down your password, etc., so that you get back to us more often!!!! How are you and Tom? Have you gotten the porch damage fixed?

paula eagleholic said...

Another shake off...looks like just sprinkles now...

hedgie said...

Paula, you have me ROFL!!!! John will run if he sees you coming!

Glo, rain is supposed to continue off and on til Monday. Our water tables SHOULD be in pretty good shape this year, for sure.

hedgie said...

Norma, game is on ESPN at 9.

paula eagleholic said...

Rain expected here thru Monday....then nice after that

Lolly said...

Hi all! Made the mistake of going outside. Really needed to do some cleaning inside but......It got up into the low 70's and bright sunshine. So, now here I sit with ice on my back. Man, I wish I was 20 years younger. But, I got a lot accomplished.

Hi Sandra and Sunny! Nice to have you on here today.

I have our cam up with IE, have no problems. Have spell check and no counter. lol Just as I started typing, I saw Belle raise up, shake off, and I got a peek at Egglet Palmer.

Paula, I remember a baby shower approx. 38 years ago. I received everything pink. The nursery was pink...pink carpet, pink pricilla curtains, a savings bond in a girls name, pink, pink, pink.....and then I found out I was pregnant. lol We were going to adopt a baby girl, but oh, no, I was pregnant!!!

paula eagleholic said...

BW cams all fixed. Bet that was a soggy eagle festival!

Lolly said...

Oh, and forgot to mention, thankfully....Laurel was a GIRL!!!!!

Lolly said...

Is that the peepers I hear on the cam?

paula eagleholic said...

NBG update

The cam is down. Due to technical problems at Norfolk Botanical Garden. A technician will attempt to restore the feed on Sunday morning. Current status in the nest: 2 eggs have hatched, 1 is in the process of hatching
by Norfolk Botanical Garden at 3/13/2010 6:42 PM

Lolly said...

Wow! Third one is hatching??? That is fantastic! Way to go NBG!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, I thought that was the case, LOlly...but you didn't know beforehand, correct?

paula eagleholic said...

I got a lot of cute clothes for the shower, but what they really need is a dresser, so I told Ajay to pick it out and I would buy that for them.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh, and yes, those are the peepers! Lots and lots of worms out as well!

Lolly said...

Oh, gross! Spidey just made his appearance!

hedgie said...

Paula, missed the dog comment---that's a lot of dog for your little lap!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Ewww there he is again!

Lolly said...

We had been waiting about 8 months for the adoption. My friends wanted to give me a shower so I thought it was about time. Needed to be ready. Then I got pregnant!

We joked that if the baby was a boy we would trade it for a girl. Elderly neighbor did not like our joking...what else can you do but laugh at the situation. And, actually, before I called the adoption agency to tell them I was pg, they called....my baby girl was here!! I went to pieces! We had to turn her down, tell them I was pg. She was born in June, Laurel was born in Dec. Can you imagine having two babies 6 months apart?!!

Lolly said...

What is spidey doing, the cam looks funny!

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn - he puts he front feet and front half of his body in my lap in his face in my face...time for dinner, just can't ignore that!

paula eagleholic said...

I know, Lolly! At least he isn't blocking the whole view!

Lolly said...

I might add, Paula, Laurel was a miracle. Do not know how she "happened". Jack blames the mailman. It is a family joke. Laurel will say, "yeah, the mailman was my father." lol

paula eagleholic said...

I guess that must have been very hard Lolly...but happy at the same time.

paula eagleholic said...

Yuck, seen enough of spidey!

Lolly said...

Yes, very happy, but VERY HARD!
I told the doctor, prove that I am PG. I had no physical sign except for..... He found her heart beat! No sonograms back then!

paula eagleholic said...

Well, the Dr's told Ajay she had about a 10% chance of ever getting pregnant, she has fibrocystic ovaries...HA...she's been pregnant 4 times in 5 years!

stronghunter said...

I guess the warmer weather has gotten spidey going for good. What an image!

I am having cat trouble here. George is sitting on the mouse pad and making it very difficult for me to use the mouse. I have turned off the computer several times, but he just wants more food. Now he is rubbing his head on the computer.

stronghunter said...

The results came back very fast when I was pregnant with twins.

Lolly said...

That is great that you are getting them a dresser. We got one for Laurel and Joey when they were expecting Joseph.

Laurel's maid of honor in her wedding just had her third child. His name is Mason. Jack made a name train today. Glad he felt like working in the shop.

Lolly said...

Spidey has just sat on the cam. Riding it like a horsey! I do think the cam must be slightly warm and attracts spiders.

Lolly said...

Hi Shirley! Is it spring break for you yet? Spring break this week for schools around here. Looking forward to Laurel and the boys being here. Laurel told Joey, "I want to go to my parents, spend the night, and do nothing." lol Think they may spend two night next week. We are going to the Museum of Science and History and going to the zoo.

stronghunter said...

The first time I saw spidey walk over the lens, I was fascinated. I had to remind myself that it wasn't a giant spider. It was just a spider on the lens.

stronghunter said...

No spring break yet. We get three days at Eastertime. One of them is considered a work at home day for teachers.

Ohh, spidey is moving. Spooky!!

stronghunter said...

Brother Cat's escapade reminds me of the day Susan looked out the second floor window to see George walk by. He was on the front porch roof, having gotten out a bedroom window. Susan went out on the roof and Sassafras tried to follow her. A cat on the roof is one thing. a basset hound on the roof is quite another. Susan was very busy when I looked up and saw her.

paula eagleholic said...

Eww, more spidey...bbl, Michael is here!

magpie said...

Holey Moley that is a view to sign on to! Thought the ring around the view was condensation guess I was wrong....

stronghunter said...

Well, Spidey is blocking the view, and George is sitting on the mousepad. What a mess!

Lolly said...

Oh, that was gross! But he is at least momentarily gone. Wonder what size he really is. Looks huge going across the cam. lol

Off to prepare dinner. Jack is hinting!

BBL

magpie said...

it really is very fascinating. One night I got a bunch of pictures of the spider spinning its web across the view
Deb, put them onto a slideshow, it is somewhere on my blog....

Good Evening everyone
sounds like a great time Paula

Sure was nice to see Sandy and Sunny checking in ☺

magpie said...

he is really pretty small, Boris the Spider...

I'll find the date of the slideshow...

Lolly said...

My bad, I was wrong...Spidey is being not nice! No, Margy, no ring around the moon.....just one gross Spidey!!

I am off!

BBL

stronghunter said...

Looks like mostly legs.

I have been afraid to put any spidey pics on my blog. I figure Lynn would never look at my blog again.

magpie said...

I seemed to have gotten live feed but also had no sound!
couldn't hear the peepers, drove around the county here at darktime trying to find some peeping, no luck

There is some serious high water out here ! And every little mountain rivulet is headed straight for the creeks....amazing stuff, got lots of pictures will load them in a little while

magpie said...

and it rained like H-E double hockey sticks while I was out !

Lolly my luck sure ran out for Okla nest.
:(

stronghunter said...

Very wet in the wetland in back here. I went out and took a look. Plenty of water for spring peepers. Maybe I'll go out and take a listen.

magpie said...

I actually put one picture and one picture only of a spider web on one of the Momsters albums...
think it was in the summertime
Yeah, I try to consider Lynn too and give her notice NOT TO LOOK !!

magpie said...

I saw some people driving through high water that they SHOULD NOT HAVE ! they would not have gotten swept away but it was up over their tires and by rights, they should have stalled out...I had to drive the long way to every place I went to, just about, exept out near where GG lives

magpie said...

would be rather comical if Boris made any noises we could pick up at the nest...but I think NOT

magpie said...

Sounds nice, Paula, your having Michael around for a few days ☺

magpie said...

I saw some large logs practically trees floating down the creek

Judie said...

Dinner over. Tasted good.

Paula, hope the shower brought lots of goodies and am sure the dresser will be much appreciated.

Need to check for spidey if I can get the live feed.

Still raining here.

Isn't it interesting that just when we most need our cams and live streams, there are problems?

BBL

Lolly said...

What was that? Our eagle fussing at something? Spidey?

magpie said...

well shucks I can't find the slideshow, but the two sets of pics are on Magpies Roost from March 19 last year, maybe I will find that slideshow somewhere.
gives you an idea of Spidey's size if you want to see that

going to load up pictures now
and will be back in a little while
xo

Lolly said...

My cam has being going 1 hour and 16 minutes. Still hear the peepers. Sounds like a great summer night.

magpie said...

I almost forgot!

I love turnips and potatoes together with lots of butter and salt and pepper...even grew some once upon a time

wish I had some right now !!
