«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 316 of 316that would be Lake WASHINGTON
it took a minute or two for anything to happen, might not work for you
and now the eagle is not there
Guess I should work on writing a test for my seniors for tomorrow. Just in case.
and the night light came on
Lynn
just a little change in staffing needs, regarding my 12-hour shifts
checking out for awhile
back in awhile
Hope everyone is doing okay
Judie, thank goodness you are alive and well!!! Was truly getting worried!! Whew! So you will have a red blotch or two, also? They'll be gone quickly. I had one done on my arm back in Jan. and was surprised how SORE that thing got. But didn't last long. Get a good nights sleep, Professor! You have a week+ to take it easy!
MArgy, know how cool it is to go look at rising water-----Carolyn and I have done that on many occasions.....but kind of scary to think of you put there alone in that bad weather.....tsk, tsk!
Shirley, thank you!
I am already questioning myself...every time that there is a nice moment.........but then the not-so-nice minutes happen again....and I WONDER if I can last that long.
Good cam link, MArgy, but it says they are experiencing technical difficulties.....so guess that means it's n ot updating.
Kathryn and Hunter have gone up to bed. Luna went with them. She has gotten used to sleeping upstairs now.
Small crisis that caused some panic. Kathryn was in the process of changing Lucky's cat potty. It is a Breeze system and has a little drawer with a pad underneath. Kathryn had removed the drawer when Lucky decided he needed to go.
Kathryn had to chase him out of his potty. Poor kitty hid. He came out from under the bed awhile later and I put him in his potty. He was thankful.
Kathryn and Hunter had to find a detour to get home this evening because the road was still closed. She saw power lines down. Glad those did not land on us.
regarding the link I posted for Lake Washington
it was for the "still cam" so to speak, not the live stream
It took nearly 90 seconds for it to open up with a picture the first time and I got excited because, there was an eagle in there for a few minutes
so I jumped the gun when posting the link
It does clearly say they are experiencing technical difficulities
I justed tried it again, it took over two mins for a pic to begin to show up
then it was half a picture, a whole picture, a sliver of a pic, and so on, so, maybe another day
or maybe your better computers will fare better than mine
Sorry about all that...
Shirley
glad the kids got home safely and everyone and the pets seem to be getting settled in,
and yes, surely glad no power lines down around you
every computer thing I am trying is taking three times longer than normal, or more
Going to say Happy Birthday one more time for Loretta and Sunny
wish you all a good night's rest
I offer my prayers for the things that are heavy on our hearts,
and for wellness, and for safety in this weather
Good Night everyone,
and
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
I am going to go upstairs to my safe, warm bed. Maybe I can check out Lake Washington and the bears tomorrow. I am weary tonight.
I will work on putting together the test tomorrow. It should not take too long.
It is time for me to re-access the approach in my senior English class. Thinking about pushing things up a notch. Might not seem like I'm doing that when I say they don't have to turn in the answers to the questions, but they need to be ready to discuss them, but it will be a real increase in putting the responsibility on them.
Let's just say I am getting tired of being buried by papers when the students should not be getting credit for all the little stuff they should be doing anyway. Also do not like giving credit for the ones who just copied someone else's work.
Moving on to bigger things and higher level thinking.
And with that thought, good night. I will see you tomorrow.
Sounds like a good plan, Shirley! Now just stick to your guns. Hope you sleep well tonight. I know how having something weighing on you can prevent that.
Margy, hope you sleep through without any coughing! Have a good day at work tomorrow.
My eyes are heavy.......as soon as my show ends, I'm going to the tub. Snooze a bit, and then watch the news and see all the flooding predictions around the area.
Good night all. Prayers and peace.
I watched two shows - Getting heavy
eyed now and my fingers aren't typing right.
Hubby put in his 3 votes for Mai..
Sure don't understand those % marks.
It was great to see Judie!!
I guess we didn't see Lynne... I may have missed some......
Sounds like you all are having horrible weather. Hang in there! Here in Tornado alley we practice tornado drills all the time. Down on your knees, head down, hands on the back of your head. We line the kids up in the halls, heads to interior walls. More fun to remain in this position for over an hour when there is a real tornado warning. Especially fun when you have scared 5 year old. NOT!!
Watched AI when I got home.
Yes, great to have Judie and I was just wondering about Lynne. Saw your comment, Jo.
I just glanced at 2 messages on FB
My NC granddaughter states:
I voted for your dog again!
Good Evening & Nighty-Night to some.
We did not get spiffy & go out to dinner because of weather, but I had to go to store so decided to hit Staples & got some 'puter speakers! Gotta hear da bears!!(better) LOL
Should get a few ospreys pics on by AM. Worked on a couple who needed help in new Photoshop & then it quit opening!!!!Another techie call in the future. Maybe I'll get Peggy!!!
Hope everyone under the weather is well again ASAP ☺
Thanks all for the well wishes. Will celebrate soon w/Lobster!!!! My daughter sent "Rainbow" roses!Would you believe each petal is a different color?!!I'll have to get a pic.
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Yes, I do like my state of MD as far
as weather is year round. But however, I do reserve the right to complain now and then within each season! lol
Lolly I am headed to the pillows.
I have a feeling some others will be here to say their good nights.
I am really happy and pleased with Lynn's decision concerning Mai. It will be good for both of them.
Good Night Birthday Girl
Good Night To Everyone of you
Prayers for things to be better for all
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Lowreeda, hope you had a nice day even though you didn't make it to Red Lobster for dinner.
Spent the evening on the phone...one of those nights.
Voted for MAI, too.
Hitting the hay...
Hugs to all ♥
Den visit
Another Den visit video
Yet another den visit video
Whoops! Got the videos out of order. The third one is actually the second video. Sorry!
I want to see a picture of those roses, Loweeda. Can not imagine!
Heading to the shower and soon to bed. Night all! Stay dry and sweet dreams!
Loretta, don't feel badly about your lobster dinner...I've been trying to get mine for a month now!
Things happen:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
Late again, but my best wishes to all for a pleasant night.
Prayers for all needs and wnats.
God bless!
goodnight all.........
Good Morning everyone waiting on eaglets!!!
Another crazy day here - especially considering earthquake in Japan and changing details - will keep me on overdrive at work today.
I miss you all, Jo, Margy, Lynn, Paula, Lynne2, Andy, Wanda, Glo, Dana, Lolly, Shirley, Jim, Donnie, Donna, Mai, Emma, Luna and all. Loretta - hope you had a great birthday!
Keep a close eye on those lovey eagles Belle and Lib.
When are we expecting to see a peep hole in the first egg?
I'll be on this weekend! Giant big squeezes for everyone...big hug!
Nest weather today-Partly sunny this morning...then mostly cloudy with a chance of rain showers this afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s. West winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Belle is calling out
Good Friday Morning Everyone
RED FRIDAY it is!
Thanks for the weather report, Megan.
I can't listen for Belle or anything else because I can't live feed to open...my computer problem for sure !
Lori, glad your week-end is upon you, we miss you too....
sounds like it has been a very busy work week for you
computer here definitely has some serious problems...
will see you from the work computer
Best wishes for a good day
xoxo
at least the rain has stopped for awhile and the Eagles can stop tenting for awhile ☺
bye now
Hi, Everyone,
Hi, Megan, I heard that too! Thank God that Belle looks fairly dry. There have been times when she looked like a drowned rat!
Have been watching the news regarding the HUGE earthquake in Japan. Pretty scary stuff:
TOKYO (AP) — A powerful tsunami spawned by the largest earthquake in Japan's recorded history slammed the eastern coast Friday, sweeping away boats, cars, homes and people as widespread fires burned out of control. Authorities said at least 32 people were killed.
The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake was followed by at least 19 aftershocks, most of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Dozens of cities and villages along a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the epicenter.
A tsunami warning was issued for the entire Pacific, including areas as far away as South America, the entire U.S. West Coast, Canada and Alaska....
I'm mighty glad I DON'T live in beachfront property! We are about 25 miles from the coast. Still, hoping no tsunami hits. Have friends who live in Newport Beach! Will certainly keep an eye on the breaking news reports as this progresses.
Shirley, that video you posted was pretty scary weather! Sure am glad that you and Hunter made it home OK!
Judie, mighty good to hear from you!
Glad you have next week off to recover from the big schoolhouse madness. Enjoy to the max!
Hope we hear from Lynne soon!
I am still voting for Mai. Don't understand the percentages on the votes, but I refuse to give up!
Hubby has taken the day off work today. Glad of that, considering the Japan earthquake and tsunami warnings. He's taking full advantage of a chance to sleep in later than usual right now.
BTW, I'd better warn you guys--my posts here may be kind of scarce for a few days--I have boatloads of transcription homework to do. Must do about 30-40 hours per week of the stuff! Will try to get here at least once or twice a day, but it's going to be a crazy couple of weeks for me.
I turned in the first batch of work at school last night, but went to school early and didn't stay until class time. My eyes were so blurry, they didn't want to focus on anything close, or far away! Spent the whole day on the computer--even my mid-range vision was blurry by last night!
Yikes, this last quarter of the school year is going to be a stinker!
I was pretty tired last night, too. Fell asleep after dinner in front of the TV with Emma. Sorry to admit I didn't make it back here to say goodnight! Considering my current school workload, I guess I'd better set the blog security system on "automatic pilot" for now. I'll be lurking as much as possible--I'll keep the sound on the live cam on, and if I hear anything, will take a look. I'll be praying for everyone, and will chat as much as possible when I take breaks from the transcription work. Just don't want you all to worry about me! Don't forget to wear red, and have a great day today! TGIF! :O]
Hi,
A quick good morning. I am going to get ready and go on to work. We have a two-hour delay, but I have much to do.
I also want to take a look at that road I traveled last night. I am still convinced that something hit me last night, or that I hit something. Maybe I ran over a tree branch or a street sign. Things had to be blowing around.
Waiting to hear from Susan. She was all set to graduate this spring, even bought her cap and gown when she got a message that she is three credits short because they eliminated one of the classes she took and passed. Her advisor is working on it. She is trying to stay calm.
Took a quick look at our still cam. It looks like all is well there this morning.
Good morning everyone. Even though I did get some sleep from exhaustion mostly, I am not feeling too well today at all. Then the news out of Japan has started my day feeling very sad.
I am glad for sunshine at the nest. I see most everyone has checked it at some point except for Lynne2 unless I missed it.
Have a safe day. I think some coffee and dog treats will perk me up some :-).
Good morning all,
Things are very soggy around here. I hope that cloud burst last night didn't wash anyone away. My rain guage put it at .71 in about an hour. I was out eating dinner and everyone in the restaurant was chattering about the thunder. talking about chattering.... This eagle is a little chatty today. Maybe she knows the little ones are on the way. Ohh good look at the eggs!
lots of chatter!
they still look round and white! no dark spots or cracks
morning all.....worries in Hawaii and the coast of CA with tsunami warnings. They expect the Hawaii one in about 10 minutes, and 8:08 EST in San Fran. Prayers for everyones safety.
that quake in Japan at 8.9 was the 5th strongest quake in the world since 1900
now concerns at nuclear power plant in Japan...malfunctioning cooling system. Thousands being evacuated from area.
oops, I was wrong about the time in San Fran for tsunami....8:08 LOCAL time there.
Shirley, wow, what a scare that must have been yesterday!! SO glad you are safe!
Had a LOOOOONG and busy day at work yesterday, and then a nasty ride home in a storm.
LORETTA...HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
You too SUNNY!!!!
TGIF for all of you worker bees!
Awful news about the quake.....I knew that if Lynne was up and about that she would fill you all in. I've been glued to the tube.
Just devastating news. Worst recorded quake in Japan history. The scope of the tsunami is amazing if it does hit our west coast.
First waves hitting Hawaii now.
wow, the news from Japan just keeps getting worse....so many casualties. Very sad.
Lynne, so hope that you are feeling back to normal!
Glo, sorry you are still not better.
GOOD MORNING...
I always feel helpless when something like this earthquake happens. Want to do something to help, but what? I never send money...seems it seldom goes where it is supposed to:( I guess PRAYER is the best and safest thing we can do, at this time.
Lynne and Lynn, it is good to see you both up and ataum this morning:)
Glo has had some depressing moments with her car this past week...enough to make her not feeling up to par. Glo, smile, God loves you and so do we:)
Good Morning Eagle Friends Megan, Margy, Shirley,
Glo, Donnie, Lynne2, Lynn-Hedgie, Wanda, and our Lurkers.
Judie was so glad to see you stopped in last night.
Have a good Spring Break!
Lynne2 you've had me worried gal. Good to see you here.
Now if Glo, Margy, Diann and Lynn can just get to feeling well again. I'll be much happier.
Lynn-Hedgie I wish foster Mom good pick up Mai sooner.
Loretta better you not wash away and have you Lobste later.
Paula so glad you made it home safely yesterday.
Well I am off to the grocery. I can hardly talk. It will make for a quiet day indeed. Between the car and the really good sized cold/sinus stuff and now earthquakes and tsunamis yep its a tough morning all around the world.
I am glad our eagles are having a better morning though. That is good.
I am taking Dex with me to the store. He hasn't gotten to ride in the car now for days. He really really wants to go for a RIDE and its close by just in case. "Yep I do not trust my car, and surely don't want to walk home with me and Dex but it is doable.
Good luck Glo and Dex hope everything works out well going to and from the store.
Shirley I watched that "Microburst" you put on. That video looked like a tornado. Glad you and Hunter are still with us.
Need to go catch Paula's beer video's now.

Prayers for Japan. How devastating! We hardly ever turn the TV on in the mornings but have it on now, listening to the news.
Happy to see Lynne on. Missed you yesterday, Lynne.
55 here today, bright sunshine. Plan on working outside until we go out to eat this evening. Can you tell I am exctied? LOL
Morning Everyone - things are in quite a stir on the news. Prayers for all.
CA & OR are in the path - such panic for everyone. I hope everyone heeds the warnings and can get out of harms way.
Tsunami getting ready to hit west coast----they are saying this is the worst possible phenomena of a lifetime.........sure hope that people have heeded evacuation orders.
Morning, all.
Very devastating news about the earthquake in Japan. Sounds the waves that hit Hawaii were not bad.
Who's on first? Looks like Lib to me.
Just watching the weather guy on CNN. Jack just said he did not take his medication this morning.LOL
Good morning one and all.
I would have guessed Lib, but what do I know? Not much when it comes to identifying eagles!
Good morning, Thelma!
Anyone keeping an eye on NBG for a hatching?
No, have not gone there. Think I will.
LOL, beer videos! Lolly, didn't know you we THAT into beer!
Kidding you, Dana!!!
Glo, can you take Dex into the grocery?? Sweet talk the car into behaving!
Apparently no hatching yet at NBG.
OMG, the videos of the quake are something else. Found myself holding my breath while watching. Crazy people taking the videos during the quake, especially those that were still in buildings.
TGIF!!! Put some roses (how do they do that?) and osprey pics on blog! Enjoy~~~
Later ☺
Hi Tbird!
I have an eye apptmt. this afternoon, along with a few errands to accomplish. Carolyn will be taking me/going with me. Always like another opinion on frames--and we will look BEFORE dilation!!--and then we will go to Logan's for an early dinner. Been a while since I've eaten out, but looking forward to a break from home. If I'm not here, I can't feel as guilty about not being able to play with Mai as much as she wants.
I must need another cup of coffee
I missed the beer video! Darn it all!
Saw a hawk on my front lawn again this morning. Did not see it at first and started down for the paper. I would have stopped and watched if I had seen him before I started down. I had looked, but in the trees. Neighbor, who has a night time therapist job, told me she sees the hawks in our front yard about every morning when she is coming home. Wonder why they like our front yard????
Loweeda, those roses! Oh, my! Maybe if we google it?? Surely they must inject each petal with dye.
SUN!!!! A wee bit of sunshine here!!!
The Process
1. Fresh long stems roses are hand picked from our farms.
2. A trained horticulturist prepares the roses for "fiesta-ization".
3. The roses are placed in a unique substance, which is a combination of water and various dyes. The roses slowly absorb the dyed water the same way as they would naturally absorb water. Our unique process allows the horticulturist to pinpoint which petals receive each color of dye. This results in the various colors being diffused throughout upwards of 60 of the rose petals.
4. Fiesta Roses are carefully packed and shipped throughout the United States.
I love google! You can find things out so quick! Answers all your questions!
I am off to dry my hair.
Will be back!
Apparently there is a first egg for the Harrisburg falcons.
Hi, T-bird!!! How's everything going? Have the cam up??? No action as of yet!
Loretta, I love your roses!!!!!
Morning Loretta, Lolly, Jo and Thelma.
Thanks I see my mis-spelt comment that should have been "bear" and not lol "beer".
Well I don't think Dr. Robers would give them beer lol
Thanks Lolly for the Lily, Hope, Faith and Jason Black BEAR videos.
My AccuWeather.com is not showing any snow for today at all.
SHOWING NO SNOW FOR TODAY
Back from grocery. Car behaved. No Hedgie I can't take Dex into the grocery. He was happy though to be in the car. Its good because I plant to rest up those germs for most of the rest of the day. And I don't have to feel guilty about not doing something special for Dex today. I like each of his days to have some kind of special touch.
I decided beer is good for a smile. Thanks Dana. Still makes me smile as I type it.
Wandthanks for weeklong forecast for our impending hatch. Doesn't look too bad. Belle and Lib can certainly handle that weather.
Time for tea. Sounds good. My throat hurts but honestly don't think its strep. Just the cold sore throat kind of thing.
Think I will load a pop u, Norfolk, and my nearby lock and dam nesters. and lie down for a while.
Lynn, I do have the cam up. I'm just waiting to hear you all yell for me when the hatching begins. : )
3/11/2011 PA FALCON
First Egg!
This morning at 9:30 an egg was observed.
Falcon eggs are really beautiful.
Sure hoping that Anne Marie is located in a safe part of northern CA. I feel sure that Andy and Jim are okay.....but wondering about Jim's sister and family in San Diego area........Jim????? Check in and let us know. My other CA friends are well-removed out in San Bernardino Co.
One newscaster is reporting right from the San Francisco Bay.... duhhhhhhhh
Well, he said the 'low side'
Jack is right about the weather man on CNN - he is behaving in a very excitable way.
Loretta - the flowers are breath taking!
The commentary along side of the NBG cam is so helpful to the viewers. I'm
sure they will announce the slightest pip.
The PA Falcon cam has the best Zoom
Congrats to PA Falcons!!
That was a quick trip, Glo. Now rest and nurse that cold.
They say waves were 7 ft. in Hawaii but no major damage reported as of yet.
I just got a Time Out on the NBG cam
At this time I cannot get back in. :(
Thanks Jo PA Falcon has their first egg.
Glo no beer involved in this hatch lol
Hi, Gang,
Popping in to say hello--coffee break time.
They are not expecting any huge waves in our area. I am sure Jim is OK too--but I don't know where his family is exactly--I think they may be in Del Mar, on the way to San Diego from here. Hopefully they are not right on the coast.
Had a nice surprise this morning. Had to go pick up a prescription refill for my glucose meter test strips. First time I've had to reorder them since I started with Kaiser senior advantage insurance (Medicare supplement). They are usually about $65, and today they were FREE! YAY!
Well, gotta get back to work on the homework. Catch ya later! :o]
Oh--yes, indeed!!! LOTS of prayers for the quake and tsunami victims in Japan!!! And hoping that we actually hear OTHER news on the TV and radio today. Certainly not to make light of what's happened, but just let us know if something NEW happens!
bbl
My grandson, Aaron Kyle Lennox said that on March 19th, the moon will be closer to Earth than it's been since 1992. The full moon that night will appear about 14 percent larger and significantly brighter than usual.
That is a Saturday night and we are all
going to hope for clear skies mainly because our nest should have 2 chicks for us to watch!
Andy I like those kind of surprises - the ones that are considerate of your
pocket book! Our good Gov in MD is
proposing to take away benefits for prescriptions of retired state workers.
We are going to be up a creek so to speak if and when it happens... :(
Time to get ready to head out. Hope nothing happens at our nest this afternoon!!!
Please continue to vote for Mai!!!
Just heard Belle calling out a couple of minutes ago.
I am stretching my neck trying to see what is going on down in NBG egg cup
I am anxiously waiting for the adult to pick up a half shell out of it.
The moderator agrees that something very interesting is going on in the egg cup (nest bowl)
Egg roll, 2 pretty eggs, doing some digging
I am frustrated! Went outside and took pictures. Loaded some but for some reason can not load anymore. Will do that later, I guess. Anyway, posted a few pictures to Hawkwood gardens..with a surprise visitor to the flowers!
Enjoy!
ALERT ALERT ALERT ☺
