Thanks Steve! I will go call the others over!
Just finished my walking/excercise. Watched our cam the whole time and saw a couple of egg rolls. Love it! After walking I checked on BWE and saw a feeding. A great day it is.
Now off to clean a bathroom. Groan!
Thanks for the new thread, Steve. Can't say I like the weather forecast!
Hi Lolly.... and all others who will be coming over.
Jenny left after lunch but Kristen and I are still visiting.
BBILW
Thank you Steve for the new thread. Now I have to go back and see if I can get the comment I just sent.
Hi to Kristen:)
Capt. Gene is on his way home from Best Buy...problem with the printer and he is taking it in to them to check it out. Also, problem with losing internet connection just out of the clear blue sky. I will say good night now.
Hope your day goes well and have a lot of fun on here:)
(((Hugs)))
Jo has invited everone over to her house...she said "Hi to Lolly and all the others who will be coming over". Get your shoes and coats on.
PARTY!!
Ragdoll said... Yeah!! I did it.
I have a little time now. students are engaged. yeah!!!!
Stronghunter,Sorry to hear about your DIL. Prayers for her and her coming home........Your lunch time is not bad. Mine is at 10:00. Between 2nd and 3rd block.
Costume Lady, I am happy you got an answer to your prayers. Now we will pray for you to have people to help you. Thank you for sharing your daily devotion.
For all that are having dental work done rather scheduled or emergency. I pray for painless and speedy recovery.
Sound like while I was snoozing on the recliner, you all were having a good time. Darn, I missed it.
I want to see the animals singing commercial too.
Wind has stopped and the sunshine has been out today. (smile)
Oppps....I meant my lunch is at 10:30 to 11:00.
I have to wrap up my class here. Time to get ready and go home. Another day !!!! Only had I "Bratty" student today. Life is good.
See you later gaters !!!
DIL on her way home!
Vacuuming and bathroom done.
Judie - thanks for the info on how she should handle the classes. Actually I found out it is only one class. She takes online classes and didn't log in over the weekend, and when she tried to yesterday they had booted her out of the class. I'll keep you posted!
Sounds like Brensin is up...probably talk to you much later!
Love the criss-crossed tail feathers on the Eagle at Our Nest
not sure to say beautiful or handsome...because, I am not sure which bird but I think Belle
Good News for AJay, and she gets to come home to sparkly house
great picture of Bresnin on Paula's Prints
The Jacob stories have been lots of fun Lolly
Wanda said good night...maybe...she does not think she will get back on tonight
sounds like fun day for you Jo...
Hello to Kristen for me...
good night reminds me of nap time which seems to be right about NOW
have to go out later on
kinda dreary day hereabouts, don't expect to see ISS tonight :(
Oh, library got my book in, A Beautiful Mind...hardback, AND, large print. Now that's my kind of book !
xo TTFN
Belle looking over head this way and that
I am thinking one of our eagles just landed in the tree above the cam.
I was hooping that is hoping to see the second one come down Sharon...but I do have Nap on the Brain....
see you....Hello, I mean, and see you xo
Margy, John Nash was from Bluefield and went to school with my mom.
Cool, Sharon. Never saw the movie---just assumed he was much older than that!
LOL....I was wondering if Wanda had her day and night mixed up!
Afternoon all. Been busy. Had to get tax info ready for tax person. I vow to keep better records. Sure.
Paula glad AJ is coming home. Hope she gets better. Kidney stones can take awhile.
Have not seen our cam today. Did see BWE and NBG
Wanda do make sure you get lots of help with the soup kitchen. I know soup and sandwich we have alot of help but still not enough.
Jo, tell Kristen hello---sorry I didn't say hi to Jenny earlier. Wedding planning is SO much fun----but glad I don't have any to do soon!!
NCIS looks like it's going to be really good tonight---Gina Rowlands playing Jethro's MIL!
Lynn I was wondering the same thing. Thought it was me. Had to ask Jim if it was Tuesday passed a little lunch wagon that is open on Wednesday thru Saturday. It was open today. How are you feeling today? Has the headache left?
Count is going wacko again.
Wahoo! Party at Jo's!! I can go for that. Be right over, Jo!
Have now cleaned the bathroom and then I cleaned out the refrig. Wasn't too bad. Often find hidden treasures in there. Not this time, only had to throw out a couple of things, reorganized and cleaned. Now time to start getting ready to go to Dallas.
Eagle just came flying in with fluff. Very vocal. One on eggs flew out.
Forgot to say..Paula, so glad DIL is coming home. Guess the contractions have stopped??
See the snow is melting on the ground under the nest. yea!
Ceil, I often have to stop and THINK about what day it is...sometimes hard to keep track when we don't work!!
Yep, headache was gone when I got up this morning.
Lynn glad to hear that it is gone.
Heading out the door shortly.
Have a great evening!
Rats! Sissy sent the snow here...:(
oh dear is my face RED....so sorry I "pooped" all over the blog last night. Sure hope no one stepped in it!
Dreary day here, and now rain/snow. Could be worse!
Lynne2, we did have fun with it though! :)
oh don't apologize Lynne, it was good for a LOT of laughs !
Sharon, didn't know he was from Bluefield until I started reading ..think Nash was born in 1928? or close to that
my brother John was at Princeton (teaching) and I need to ask him if he remembers anything about him, if was there at the same time when Nash wandered the campus more or less like a phantom at times. I am only on Chapter 5
Megan
you were in the right place at the right time, this morning and this afternoon with the Eagles...
that's great !
I've never seen the movie...yet...will after reading the book Sharon...
colors on the nest are fabulous...still cam for me that is
My mom was also born in 1928. He graduated from Beaver High School (now Bluefield High School) I think maybe the year before mommy did, which would have been 1945?
good to see you Ceil..think I mighta missed you
I often have trouble figuring out what day it is...even more so when I go to work on one day and leave on the next..starting Friday :(
golly Sharon....that's tough....so long ago...
there's some interesting info in there about Bluefield and its ways during the pre-war and war...
well I have to leave now..
had to make a little time to have some social time here with my friends and check the nest
Lynn glad you lost your headache, some things are good being lost !!
headed to Berkeley Springs to see James
That was quite an egg check ! Deep Well !
Good Evening Wishes to everyone....
xoxo
intersting updates on the Valmont Forum, some chow in the nest, some kind of feathered something, was food for the owls...3rd owl seems to be gone, had to speed read a little
VAlmont Forum
and the nest box
Valmont Owl Cam
two babies in view at BWE
Can sure understand how confusing that gets, Margy!
Shar---so how old was your mom when you were born? Were you and Sissy the youngest kids?
BTW---speaking of birthdays....Robyn's Tori turned 16 yesterday! Saw it on FB.
Wished her a Happy, Happy onthere, but will add it here, too:
Happy Belated Birthday to Tori!!
well, glad everyone got a chuckle! Guess I better proof read before posting...
OOOOHHHHH guess what! I FINALLY figured out how to get the Valmont Owl cam (not really great timing)....I tried everything on Firefox and just kept getting a black screen. Well, duh! I just opened IE and voila! Owl Cam! Sad about the mishap though. Sad to see the little eggs all alone.
Off to get dinner started. Please be careful where you step on here!
My mom was almost 34 when I was born and almost 31 when Sissy was born. We were the youngest 2. Donna was born in 1948, the twins in 1950, Duck in 1955, Sissy 1959 and me in 1962. Daddy's b-day was April 3, 1928, Mommy's May 3, 1928 and Donna's was June 3, 1948. Always thought that was a neat fact.
Happy Birthday to Tori. Hope she is doing well.
Margy if I had your schedule I would show up at the wrong day and time.
Sure enough, Sharon....cool! My mom was just 5 weeks short of 30 and daddy had just recently turned 30when I was born---and I always thought my folks were so much older than the parents of all the kids I grew up with!
Hello Eagle Friends..was just watching Lily and HOPE. The little cub just stuck her head out from Mom right in front of the cam. What a beautiful little girl,
I hear the train at our nest. Is it raining there?
Not sure about at nest, Deb, but it is snpwing here, 30 miles away. Thick cloud cover, regardless of precip, magnifies the train noise.
Did somebody say train? And what is snpwing? Is that a variation of the white stuff? :)
Snpwing, So sorry to hear that. You have had enough. We had sunshine today. Scared me at first.
I think it's rain. I don't see it bouncing so it's not slpeet. LOL
eagle sitting at BWO
LOL...yeah. Sharon. Have typed the s- word too many times this winter...had to spice it up a bit!!
My live cam of our nest has been running 57 min. non stop.
It's mostly rain, with a little snow mixed in. Temp is 35°.
I can't seem to get the live feed to work...
That's what happen to me. Then it keeps running once you get it.
I think Mom is feeding her little ones at BW
I give up, none of the usual tricks work to get it going. I've seen the commercial three times tho:)
I am having trouble getting the live feed now too. I can get the picture to come up, the play button goes back and forth between pause and play and the double arrow keeps going round and round in the middle of the skin.
Floragirl...I tried all the tricks. It got me nowhere. I started over and left it alone for awhile and it worked.
are you getting the commercial with the singing animals?
About every other time I open the page I get that commercial.
Aha! The twentieth times the charm...no commercial, black screen, then hit play and it finally started.
Yeah, Floragirl!!! I never get that commercial. Come to think of it 90% of the time I get right to the nest.
I use Firefox. I am going to try IE.
I have tried IE and Google Chrome!
love your daffodil,Megan, saw some at Safeway today, but they were really closed shut....did not know if they would open when I brought them home, but decided against buying them.
I tried IE. I could even get our nest going. No Commercial.
Be Back Later. Dinner time. ^..^
Couldn't ...I meant couldn't get nest going. Bye BBL ^..^
My live cam was going and going and going and rolled over itself at 60 minutes. I'm definitely NOT complaining. I even had time to take a potty break. Belle/Lib pulled more fluff around and then wiggle, wiggle. I see the nest is having some wet weather too.
Sorry. Hi everyone. Hope your day has been calm and uneventful.
Jim & I had our eye exams today and have ordered new glasses. Maybe now he can see things on the floor, etc. and pick them up and put away. ;o)
Weather here is yuky! Rain with s.... mixed. That 4-letter word has appeared a lot this winter. We have to go to the grocery store tomorrow or Thursday at the latest cuz Jim goes back to work Friday.
Sharon, when is your Train coming to VA?
Jo, what time is the party?? I could use a good time.
Tonight is terrific Tuesday on tv so I'll say goodnite now.
God bless everyone!
dizzy d
Wonderful view of Lily's face and of Hope lying on her back
Hope really has dark hair and she isn't so little anymore!
Diann - we have yucky weather too!
Rain with s.... mixed...
Lily and Hope are singing away!
I don't know what else to call all that noise!
My live feed came on IE just great. There was a commercial (lots of animals characterized) Anxious to see how long it will stay on..
Hi, Everyone!
Just dropping in to say hello before I have to eat an early dinner and run to school. Well, make that DRIVE to school. ;o] Although in younger days, I could have run to school--it's only 4-1/2 miles away. (Make that MUCH younger days!)
Have been busy studying and housecleaning today. Hope all are well now who went to the dentist yesterday!
Hubby is now home from work, so guess I'd better run. Will come back for a bit after school tonight. (Hopefully not too late.)
Take care, and have a good evening!
:o]
Our Live Feed - I guess I am lucky like some others I read about because
it hasn't stopped on the 10 or the 20.
Anxious to see how far the timer will go.
Diann - is right about TV tonight.
3 in a row and all NEW!
NCIS NCIS:LA The Good Wife
I always pick my daffodils before they open, put them in water, they will open. Many flowers will do this.
My Train rolls into Virginia on March 11! Norfolk at the NorVa!
Mits the daffodils will open and they are so pretty when they do
So Wanda - your the one I should thank for all of those guests here at my house the you told to come on over to Jo's! lol
We not only have Spell-checkers on the bog We also have Proof readers! lol
Raining now! Yippee!! Hope it stays rain!
Hope the temp stays up
Closing down as I have a problem of
freezing up.
BBILW I hope
Hi, Andy, bye, Andy. What a busy lady you are!!! Hope your class goes well tonight!
LOL JO!!! We have proof readers on the "BOG" !!!!!
and we have a BOG because I pooped in last night....LOL!!
BTW...I just LOVE this BOG!!!!
Hello!
I finally got home. Went to the eye doctor for the final check on my new contacts. As I was on the way home, Kathryn called and wanted me to pick up Hunter and meet her at Walgreen's. She had to pick up more medication for Luna and wanted to get home as quickly as possible to give it to her because she's having problems. Surgery is Thursday.
Ragdoll, it was not my daughter-in-law I was writing about. It was Paula's. Surely she can get that class problem straightened out. But thanks for the kind words, anyway. I am taking an online class, and I would be very upset if they booted me out if I missed a log-on.
School story--today they were trying to get me to look out the window to see if it was snowing. Do you know what happens when the teacher looks away? They were all ready to throw things. I fell for that one years ago. Eventually, I had to send a boy outdoors to retrieve all of the items he threw out of the window.
Howdy, all!
I sure had a great time with the gkids!
Back at home, DIL is home, doing OK. Got her pain meds and anti nausea meds. Pain pills are same as IV was, Delauded (sp), but in pill form. Anti nausea meds work better with pill form of pain meds, so appetite is better. John brought home chinese for dinner. Ajay was starving, although she didn't eat much. John was giving the kids a bath when I left.
Contractions all gone...makes me wonder if she was having really strong Braxton-Hicks. Her grandmother is coming over tomorrow, the pain meds make her drowsy right after she takes it. Hope she passes that stone soon!
Just some light rain here, but was snowing at sons since 5pm, but no accumulation.
Going to go read rest of what I missed.
See Lolly - you're a proof reader. lol
I thought that Lolly went to Dallas!!
Lynne you do qualify to be a proof
reader - You know - You've been there and done that!
I am heading for the TV
Valmont, both adults
oh pretty, dead bird I think.
LOL, that's what you get with owls too! Lots of dead animals!
it's poor little foot is sticking up....yuk!
on that note I'm going to get a shower now!
2 trains...
Did somebody say 2 trains?
Good night my eagle budlets! Love you guys!
Yes I did :)
Well fine friends, I am slam wore out already...letting the dogs out for the last time and heading for the covers..if I'm lucky I'll watch some TV before I hit the hay.
Hey did anyone catch Jay Leno last night? So glad he's back at 11:30.
I finally got the cam to go. Took hours and now I am going to bed! :)
me too, Paula, and he was really funny...
And speaking of Jay Leno, Train will be on his show on April 8! :)
when do they brush their teeth Sharon;)?????
Ooops think I missed just about everyone, but did hear a TRAIN in Morgan County....the weather sure carries the sound.
just think that little kidney stone, is probably about the size of a medium size pinhead...maybe a little bigger...and it can cause Soooooo much pain
like you theory about improved eyesight Pa Nana Diann...good luck, hope it works !
Well it was Snow-Raining coming back from Berkeley Springs, and I have to say, it was really very beautiful....
cause I know it is just a little snow, not a big storm !
I think Megan can do just about ANYTHING with flowers and they will do nicely ! ☺
My mother was 42 when I was born...talk about having a mother older than all the other kids' moms!
But she was great....had some great skirts for me to hide behind when I was shy... ♥
Shirley
your school stories are a Hoot.
which reminds me a very large owl flew across in front of me on a back road on the way home
no skunks tonight
Hoping that the surgery for Luna, will be okay ..prayers for that too
I guess Wanda might have meant Good Night this afternoon, but she does post kinda late sometimes.
Andy -
oh, medical test results...positive and negative values and upper and lower ranges and all that....good luck!
I find it interesting to read (try to ) my own results !
Sharon
give me those names of your dogs again when you can...I KNOW I printed it out, but, uh, I forget where I put it !!
Mopsy, Buphals...and and
Well, I have been flapping my jaws, now I gotta shake a leg...
work Wed and Thurs 6 am to 6 pm,
so morning comes mighty early
Good Night to All
Sorry I missed the party at Jo's ☺
Prayers for wellness and all good things
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
Shows were all good tonight!
Good night yto all turning in. Margy, I saw a large owl just before it got dark here....flying fast and low. Amazing that tjey don't hit a tree! Hope your day is a good one tomorrow.
Shirley, please let Kathryn know that I have included Luna in my prayers...our 4-legged friends are so special.
Well I see everyone is still here on this Poopy Bog! Great place to be!
All 3 TV shows were very enjoyable and glad I watched them.
Typos are getting worse...either fingers are getting fat, or it's time for a manicure!
Maybe a brain refresher would be good for me......
For a fresh blog it is surely taking a long time to publish a remark........
Have heard several trains this evening. Ceiling is really low! If I mute the TV, I can even hear them inside.
Your brain is fine, Jo!
Agree, blogger cop is dragging us through tonight!
Ch. 9 meteorologist Topper is calling this rain and snow event "snizzle"! I like that term!
You like 'snizzle' better then 'snpwing' ?
OK Time to head down the hallway
Good Night All
Prayers for All
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Calling it a day. Sweet dreams, peaceful sleep, and answered prayers for all.
Hope you all know how much you mean to me!
G'night.
Stopping to say good night because I forgot to earlier. Having trouble relaxing tonight, though I am tired.
See you tomorrow. George and I had a little milk. Sometimes that helps.
Thanks for the prayers for Sweet Luna. Kathryn has asked Will to come over tomorrow and give her her mid-day medication so she'll get it on a better schedule.
I have a long day on Thursday. Parent conferences.
Yes, I do know it is only Wednesday. I am thinking about Luna's surgery day, because I will be at work the whole time. Susan is going to try to go be with Kathryn if she is needed.

Belle has her head tucked in and she's sleeping away. There are flakes of snow drifting down once in a while, but the main action now is Spidey's web blowing in the wind.

Good (Late) Evening, Everyone!
Hope I haven't missed everybody--just got home from school. I saw a raccoon on the way home, only a couple of blocks from our house. It was in the fast lane on the opposite side of a 4-lane street that our street meets. The car that was about a block ahead of me stopped so they wouldn't hit it, and just sat there. I'm sure they were trying to figure out how a raccoon found its way to our neighborhood! When I got close, the raccoon turned and ran back the way it had come, lickety-split! Their facial mask is pretty definitive. Glad he didn't get run over or hit! We still get them on our roof every so often, so they seem like family.
Got all my transcription done tonight, but have to proofread it and do a list of definitions to go along with the new words for the week. This week's chapter is 'Genitourinary'. Pretty interesting!
Well, need to go wind down a bit in front of the TV. Shirley, Luna's on my prayer list for sure--along with your daughter, you, and the rest of the family! BTW, love your school stories! ROFLMBO! :oD
Paula, sure am glad your DIL is home now. Hope she's able to pass that pesky stone real soon! She's in my prayers too! Prayers being said for everybody, for all kinds of needs. The night light is on, the porch light is motion-sensitive, and the eye scanner security is ready to go. Hope all of you have a wonderful night's sleep! Sweet dreams, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love all you guys!
Goodnight, and God bless! :o]
It's the Morning
still getting rain mixed with snow here in Martinsburg WV
hope it stops soon...it is not pleasant weather for our roosting Eagle Belle
Sharon
I know the answer....
Mopsy, Buphals, Scooby and Hairy -

Ok, it's that time...work...
haven't seen Belle shake off the nighttime snizzle...but BWE Eagle is tenting...
Best Wishes for a Good Day, Everyone
xox ☺ ♥
34° and raining lightly here and at nest.
Crows flying around nest, Belle is giving them an earful.
Eagle just flew in, eagle on eggs flew out, egg roll and a wiggle.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!!---MARGY & MEGAN!----I 'thought' it was a cloudy am--but it is a cloudy am with a fine mist between S & Rain!---Have dr appt in Winchester this am--must cancel--not driving mts in bad weather--schools on delay! 1-3 inches in higher elevations---No one has a better column than LISA!!---She mentions the 'WONDERFUL WV MAGAZINE in her column---Ours will be ready to go out with the nest few days!!---She also states that she is happy both eggs hatched close together--means the older one will have LESS of an size advantage!---Bald Eaglets are the fastest growing birds in North America.....Remember we had that one time!---SPUNKY!

Hard time getting to see our nest!!---But there is an EAGLE on the nest!!!

Good Morning Everyone! Hope I'm on the right page!!!Big Gap in comments.So glad Paula's DIL is coming home & hope all else w/ailments get in tip top shape.
I didn't get on here yesterday~~~after some soup for dinner, went downstairs to watch a show & fell asleep on couch. Just got up an hour ago!Should have stayed home yesterday!
Gotta shuffle off to work at farmhouse today & then I have all day TH to shovel the house for Fri. guests!!! Where are Merry Maids???
My sweet friend Shorty came by a little while ago & sat next to me eating peanuts for breakfast!Great way to start a day!
XXX & OOO to all
AGood morning, Eagle Dudettes and Dudes. Slow morning here!
Hi, Lowreeda! Will Sh0orty eat out of your hand??
The day is not starting well for me as far as typing goes, is it???? LOL!
Morning everyone....eagle was just at BWO with fish, then took to BWE and dropped it off there.
Hi Lynn. No, that hasn't happened yet, but when I was putting a peanut on the railing ttuhye other day, he/she came within a few inches! That's my goal for the summer. We had one a few years ago, Stumpy, that would take peanuts from your fingers.
I put a newer pic on blog.
Guess I gotta shuffle off~~~~
I can't type either ☺ never could!
Morning, all!
Check out that nice fish at BWE!!
Good morning bogettes! Poopy Bogettes!
Got home late last night. We had a fun evening. It had been so long since we had stayed with Zach, but all went well. It took a while to warm up, but then we had loads of fun. Zach and I sent phone pics while texting to his daddy and Aunt Laurel. Once I almost called his Daddy, hit the cancel button fast, Zach thought that was hilarious! Got a deep belly laugh.
Talking about our cam....I never get a commercial any more. It comes up with a black screen, I hit the play button and it goes for over an hour. Love it! I have always used IE.
Time to read the paper.
BBIALW
Good morning all in the Poop Bog!
Dreary and breezy here today but NO SNOW!! Nice enough that this will be the day I prune the crepe myrtle and my butterfly bush...must be done when the crocus sprouts and I've got some serious crocusing going on!
Well, we could use some prayers again. Steve hurt his wrist pretty badly at work yesterday. No swelling, and we put ice on it for about 20 minutes or so every hour and he took some Aleve. He went in today and now he's had to leave to go to the Dr. He said it's burning, tingling, shooting pain and some numbness. He's really upset. Not because it hurts but because he is worried about the financial disaster we will face if he has something wrong that can't be fixed in a few days so he can work again. UGH
Wow, CRC chicklet looks huge! Glad to see it getting so big!
Hi, Mits!
Any idea how close BWO is to BWE?
Good morning everyone. Temp her ein Morgantown is a balmy 33 degrees and rising. The snow is finally begin to disappear. Spring fever has set it!
pretty close, Lynn....beautiful close-up of male Lion on the NZ cams this a.m.
wish that cam had sound, he was just roaring
now he is up and moving around, so beautiful
Lynne, sorry about Steve.....that's what Workers' Comp is for!!!! FILE stat!! Covers all medical bills and lost wages (in WV after first 3 days missed).
eating fish BWE
chicks aren't happy parent is not sharing right now..ok, parent getting snack ready for them
feeding now at BWE
eggs alone at Decorah nest
Good morning everyone. Sunshine and heading to 40 here today. Its both good and bad. Dex loves the snow disappearing and we will head out for a stroll in about an hour. Other places to go and things to do this afternoon. You might enjoy a stop by Glo's Glimpses today. I am glad that it didn't snow much on Belle. Snizzle is ok I am sure she really didn't mind that much at all.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good morning, people.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Jim
Loretta, is the new pic of SHorty taken with your new lens?
Lynn, WC only pays about 60% of the employees wages (AFTER a standard 3 day waiting period), although it's not taxable. And if he isn't able to work, WE have to pay FULL cost of keeping our health insurance through his company. Right now they pay 80%. The company is under no obligation to pay for it if the employee isn't physically working.
Then there's a whole other set of rules for "light duty" if he is cleared for that.
And of course he is worried about loosing his job. Maryland is one of the few "at will" states left, meaning you can be hired or FIRED, at will, by the employer. (exceptions are discrimination, or worker's comp claim, but guess who has to pay the lawyer to fight it?)
So as you can see, anything more than a minor issue could be a major mess for us.
hmmm, eagle flew back into Decorah nest, looked around and left...temp 27 there now
eagle came back at Decorah and is on the eggs now
nice to see people at chat at NBG, were following the saga at Decorah
Glo, love the video....cool to actually "hear" the "clicker fish"!!
First listened to Lily give Hope a very noisy bath. Now Hope is "purring" while nursing. Such a noisy pair!
Lynne, so sorry about Steve's wrist! When it rains...it pours. Definitely keeping him and you in prayers.
Good Wed morning - I'll check my typing as to NOT have any funny typos.
Hello Jim - This 'people' is happy to see you today!
Paula - prayers and continuous thoughts for Ajay, John & the boys and for you!
Mits - I too wish NZ would have sound with the Lion - I watched him yesterday after you mentioned about him in view - He is so large (long)
Loretta - I love the pic of Shorty. My squirrel has been on the deck railing retrieving the peanuts BUT he
has to move fast because there is a little tufted titmouse that is swooping down and taking them away. I'm not even sure they can open them as they look like a woodpecker once they get up in the tree.
I have a hair appointment this afternoon - really glad the weather is just snizzle and not snpwing.
Time to get with it! Need to eat and then walk and then......ta dah...heading outside to work. This is the second day of sunshine! It was 38 when we got up, but up to 46 and supposed to get up to 60. I go for that! Have places to work that are not boggy, but then I am going to have to start working in the muck.
Have a great day, Bogettes! Don't bog too much. Faster to catch up that way.
Have a great day!
Will check out your video when I get on PC, Glo.
Hi, Jim. Is CA sunny??
Still snizzling here, but temp is 36, so no concern.
Lynne, MD is nasty. Here it is 80% and employer must continue with all benefits.
What did Steve do to his wrist? Sprain?
Lynn, not sure what he did but I suspect it's been sore for a while. He just never complains about anything. He said he was picking up shields as always, and it was a very sharp sudden pain. It kept happening all day. Also burning and shooting pains into fingers and this morning some numbness.
Well, he just called after seeing the company Dr. and they said he has a contusion on his wrist. I didn't see any bruise or swelling but I'm not a Dr. He says he never hit it on anything that he remembers. He's in a bandage and on 550 Naproxen and has to get a recheck on Friday. Til then, no lifting with that hand over 15lbs. I sure hope that's all it is! Seems odd that a contusion would cause shooting pain and the other symptoms, but of course as I said, I'm no Dr. PLEASE GOD let this be the only thing wrong!!!

Cam watchers have been admiring the recent "whale" of a catch. We're told it's a gizzard shad.
We'll be posting our eaglet video clips later today in our Eagle Cam Web Log.
LOL Lynne Sorry about Steve. Try not to worry about it just now. Get it fixed whatever it is as quickly as you can and then do what needs done for the Workers Comp. Its scarey for sure. But so many things that life sends our way feels scarey. Most of them eventually turn out ok with lots of perseverance and encouragement and support from friends.

Azalea is still close by the Norfolk Botanical Garden as of mid-night March 3. I don’t know exactly where until I get a detailed map which I will post as soon as I get it

“Inside The Eggs”
The embryos inside the eggs continue the final stages of development. At this point many recognizable structures are in place and the major organ systems are largely formed. There are no highly detailed studies of the embryology of bald eagle eggs - but we can use studies from other raptors, namely American kestrels (Falco sparverius) as a rough guide to what might be happening inside the egg.
By now the feathers of the natal down are in place. The bill has started to harden and scales are covering most of the legs and toes. The eyes are closed and the complexus muscle (hatching muscle) has begun to swell. Much of the remaining amniotic fluid inside the chorioallantois membrane (see archive for egg diagram) has been absorbed. We’ll post again in the coming days with more of what’s happening inside the eggs as they get closer to hatching.
won't be long now:)
Headed out the door
See you when I return....

Finished our excercising. Now going to clean up a little before heading outside. Now up to 52...and climbing!
Won't be back for a while. Oh, and watched to little eaglets be fed while walking.☺
Mits, thanks for the NBG report.

Really neat stuff, huh, Mits? Wish there was a way to "see" it all!!
Nice that Azalea is tagged...wonderful that she is staying "in the area". It probably happens more than the pros realize. How else would an areas population increase? Don't think that many pairs would relocate to a particular area at any given time, unless habitat destruction or lack of food forced a move.
New thread, come on over.
