WVgal Dana, how do you add the Google tool bar so it can be used here ? I almost don't want to see it used because we have a lot of fun with misspellings here !
Well that was my delete....thought I could put on the other part of thread. Telling them to click on newer but it published over here. Thought it would dang... lol
Robyn - it's not really an egg cup - it's just a disarranged clump of straw.
Tori doing alright? Tonsils and wisdom teeth are almost sure things in the kids' lives now a days. Sammy,8 yr old, has tonsils out after school lets out.
speaking of blooms my confederate jasmine is in full bloom and the smell is just awesome I linger coming in the house -love just sitting out there and taking it all in lOL
here if Fl we have the gross palmetto bug It flies and it is awful and that's all year round not just summer Silver fish is another one I hate. I have a couple of lizards that refuse to let me catch them to throw them out side but they are stubborn so if they want to live here they can eat some bugs for rent LOL
I think that pair come in the nest in the evening looking for a snack...no signs of making an egg cup (thank goodness), so I guess they are just sowing their wild oats.
We have a kind of roach that is very similar to the palmetto's, JudyE. UGH!!! We also have something that looks a lot like the love bugs, but don't swarm like they do!
Wind stronger at nest than here---look at it rocking. TOo bad there's no eaglet for it to rock to sleep. :(
Short visit in lovely colours and the quality of the camera is great. Belle did not seem to tolerate Truder very much when he followed her in literally pushing him away as she moved a twig. What was she so intently looking at I wonder? An reports from the ground as to who is in the skies around the nest?
Hi, Gang, Checking back in quickly. Looks like I missed a nest visit.
We are having strawberry shortcake for dinner again, to use up the last of some GORGEOUS strawberries. Need to go try to catch some evening news to see how Japan is doing. They just can't seem to catch a break!
Will be back later to say goodnight. Hope everyone is having a nice evening!
I took a little over three min video with my camera and am in process of posting to my face book and also I will tag to Nctc and NCTC face book page I use the real player I'm thinking about getting a YouTube acct but don't know if I will I love my real player
I went outside to rake a little before it got too dark. The wind started blowing hard and the sky was very dark...came inside and it stopped.
DANA, you know what a conch shell is don't you...those very large shells that you put up to your ear and can hear the ocean:) Well that case is what the conch lays with eggs inside. I was so amazed at that...didn't know what they were. I have seen them lying on the beach often over the years and just thought it was a skeleton or something. Did you watch the video? Those are the baby conchs falling out of the case. They are, of course, dead.
Wind is getting up again, here. Some big splats of rain. Need to find a weather report...I remember from this morning that there may be severe weather this evening in Elkins and all down through most of west West Virginia.
Evening Everyone. Just got a Still cam pic w/two eagles, & then one on Live cam. Guess it is Belle, if Turd left first. I didn't like the blob in the nest, but if it is just a blob, will put pics in album. hmmm
Bet the light won't be on much longer.....hope everyone looked at the album pic of the really beautiful colors on the nest a little while ago. Very unusual to get color like that---the sun's paintbrush at work, for sure.
If nest is full screen, looks like white feathers blowing on the upper right part of blob. Then again could be cam noise. Whatever
Spent most of the day outside---manual labor digging holes & then removing, transplanting plants into big 4 gal. pots.A few more that had annuals need to be cleaned & then I'll be ready to plant new ones. Got a pic of crabapple today--rain will probably ruin the petals.Don't know if redbuds at Park will be decent tomorrow! Getting thirsty---today is time for iced tea!!
Naturenut, there were loose white feathers in the nest earlier on. This clump was dug out by Truder from ten o'clock position outside of the cup area...there was no feather when it was first brought there. It must have blown with the wind. I see it now was not there earlier.
Home from the vascular dr. All seems well. He was supportive regarding lack of exercise -- well, duh! We agreed to meet again in six months. Was there for over 3 hours.
Dinner is over, kitchen put together. Very tired now so going to head for the pillows.
Night light is set for 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all. Will try to catch up sometime tomorrow after school.
Iced tea is a staple in our house, Loretta. I think my good health is due to tea...it does have antioxidants or something that is good for you. Hasn't helped my knee...maybe I should have soaked my knee in tea instead of getting all those cortisone shots over the years:) Loretta, the Red Buds were in beautiful full bloom when we visited there, but I can't remember the exact date.
Good evening! Dinner done, dishes done and now watching DWTS.
Beautiful day today...sunny and cool. Love it! Jack put in another flagstone path and I planted flowers. More to go tomorrow. Going shopping first. My boys need new sportcoats/blazers, so I am going shopping.
Decorah nest is full of bodies again. Also, she is presently upset about something flying around. She is fussing.
Talked with Laurel. They even had the electricity off for 1 1/2 hours today. She said the kids all came to school with tales of the storm. They had large hail in the neighborhood around the school and it came down sideways, breaking windows, etc. There were trees and fences down.
No, too much involved with getting children home. You can not just close, you have to think about how they get home and is there anyone at home. She teaches in a middle school, 6,7. and 8th grade.
Won't be up watching the nest in the morning....have some things that must be done during that time
Judie I will do my best to find you some James Rockets... once they start blooming, they stay around for a loooong time... beautiful lavendar, and also chartreuse...maybe we'll find some in Annandale when I make it down there
Well going to call it a night. My stupid computer chair came out from underneath me and now my hip and knee hurts. Going to go lay down. Catch you all tomorrow.
As far as closing school....those are the issues here every time they close due to snow---early dismissal or cancelled for the day...but parent's are supposed to have alternate plans in place "in case".....and they are notified by many means, so.....we rarely have to worry about the kids being on bad roads and that is paramount.
Yes, the boys grow like weeds. Joseph has had a blazer, but it is too small now and too large for Jacob. Also, in pants, Joseph is a slim and Jacob a regular. Zach is as big as Jacob, just not as quite as tall. The boys all wear out their clothes. And, Zach, the youngest wears designer clothes. No kidding...only the best for that boy! Hand me downs for him? No way, Jose!
Ok. Storms are over. Nothing much to them by the time they got here. Just a little lightening and thrunder. Enough to get Scooter to panting and shaking. Did have Tornado watch out but no warnings. My bedtime now. Diane is up at 5:30 and I get up and have coffee and fix her breakfast usually. See y'all tomorrow. Oh yes....the was story was very funny....I'm glad men don't wax. lol
Baaack! Put some home & Park plants on blog. Nothing spectacular yet! Wanda, Margy had mentioned the redbuds in bloom when the gang visited 4-21-09! I remember a couple years ago that I took pics of them along the highway in April coming back from Pittsburgh.In the dead 'puter, tho, but probably on backup disc. I haven't gone there yet!!! We have some first year blooming rb's at Park. If it's not pouring, I'll see how they are in AM. Speaking of that, must shampoo the do! Glad/hope no one will have bad weather tonight! If I don't return, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
Happy Birthday Paula! I hate being a party pooper but I'm afraid I can't find the link for the conch video. Can someone please repost it. Thanks GrannieKay
So, Loretta, 10 days from now, the Red Buds should be in full bloom, if we can go by the time that we had our Road Trip there. They are just about that amount of time from blooming full, here.
Back from a very nice dinner and some chocolate cupcakes!
Got to play with the kids outside...and watch them jump on the trampoline...it was nice out...storm passed to the east of their house, but we got rain in Emmitsburg.
Oh, my crabapple tree is flowering! And saw lots of beautiful trees in bloom last night on the way home...lots around Annapolis, along the highway...very pretty. My redbud hasn't popped yet.
The evening nest pictures are wonderful, the colors, spectacular. I am glad that Belle is the last one to have left the nest tonight, if I read that correctly.
Wow, I could use a guy like Red in my life! Coffee and Breakfast in the wee hours of the start of the day ! ♥
No more bad weather. Sorry, I was not clear. That was last night. When we were having rain and wind last night, tornados were touching down just south of us. We got up and looked out but did not check the tv for warnings.
Whew! lots of nest news, people news, weather news, trees and flowers news.... Glad that so far, so good, regarding our Momsters and Dadsters with the weather, close calls...
I could use some "lightening" tonight ! Always feel and look younger with some blonde highlights ☺
Jo I love your posts, you cover a lot of bases in a little bit of time ☺
Bommy if you are still around tonight... Welcome and Enjoy! I watched since Feb 2006 and joined up in May 2008 - there was a nest visit coming and I really really wanted to go....and the rest is wonderful history ☺
like your moniker by the way, very friendly sounding !
Hoda you might see this, being 3 hours "behind" us I like your spellings for "colours" and "behaviours"...kind of British I guess? My sister does that with some words, too. Neat !
I'm checking out too... Shirley did post one time this morning... Hope to hear from more folks tomorrow I did get an email from Susan, things are busy with the treatments with Grey's Mother..... Prayers especially for this family tonight ♥
OOh--the strawberry shortcake was yummy! Whipped some heavy cream to put on top. Good thing we don't do that very often!
Yes, good to see Crunch here!
Paula, sounds like you had a wonderful Birthday! LOVE the pictures of the Birthday road signs! Nice balloons and flowers, too!
Well, getting a bit tired, so think I'll adjourn to TV land for a little while. Prayers have been said for everyone, especially those in need of healing.
Judie, thanks for setting the night light to come on! Glad to hear the Dr. was happy with your arteries!
I'm making sure the porch light is on. Eye-scanner security and WV Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sleep tight, everyone, and I'll talk to you in the morning. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Good early morning... have read up on all the posts. A lot of news from all areas! Nothing new here. Enjoyed the warm sunny weather today and am sad that its going to rain, but it would make me happier if there would be thunder and lightening!!
Message for the early morning nest watchers: I won't be joining you this morning....had some projects I needed to take care of and ended up staying up until right now working on that...so I am going to be sleeping then instead. I will miss being in your company and will watch for your nest news ☺
Good morning Lori and Kay.Good night Margy! Just got up here in Hagerstown, heard the downpour at 5 and decided there was no way I was letting the flying labs out in that!
Well after another college visit yesterday, my second oldest seems to have made a decision on where he is going to school next year. I have mixed feeling...He has decided to go to University of Dayton. I think it's a good decision I just wish it wasn't 6-7 hours away. I pleased that he has decided to continue in college at a Catholic school, but that is far (oh and of course cost more)! Catholic U would have been alot easier.
Good morning Lori, DanaMo and Kay:) Today's nest weather- Showers. Cooler with highs in the upper 50s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.
I hear good things about the U of Dayton, DanaMo. I didn't realize it is a Catholic university. I wondered what was taking you to Dayton when I read a post to that effect, what?, a couple of weeks ago ? Now I know "the rest of the story".
Ugh, gas prices. Another nice thing about retirement. I've filled my GMC Envoy twice this year, on 1/31 and 3/31 ! I operate pretty much within a 3 mile radius and just don't get out at all if the weather is iffy. I love to drive and have driven all over this country with 3 kids on board and often alone since they grew up. Couldn't afford to do so now.
Good morning and thanks for the weather report Floralgal ! Sounds like we'll see a soggy nest later today. We're getting so much rain, too. May flowers should be gorgeous, though no match for the beauties you grow.
It's tough to take this temperature drop. I want it to stay warm and sunny.
My son actually found Dayton using Collegeboard.com. I didn't even know about it until we met with the guidance counselor for our senior appointment. When he asked what school were on his list that was at the top. I had never heard of it. We've made to two trips and are really impressed with the engineering program.
Blackbirds beginning to prowl. Occasional gusts of wind blowing through. Belle and t. must be hunkered down out of the elements. Maybe my leaving to read newspapers wil bring them on. There comes the color ! Greener every day ! Have a good day everyone and I'll see ya later !
Beautiful here this morning...60 with a great breeze. Took the dogs out for a nice long play in the field and walk when it was just barely getting light. Wish I could make a recording of all the birds singing!
Hello Everyone.. Just poped in to say hello. I've been checking in from time to time and reading the posts. It's been awhile for the cam though. Did they get a new one or a new view or what? It looks great!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 450 Newer› Newest»NCSusan Good luck with your bluebird nest - I love them - just be on the watch for those house sparrows! They are nasty to the BB
WVgal Dana, how do you add the Google tool bar so it can be used here ? I almost don't want to see it used because we have a lot of fun with misspellings here !
WOW I was going to mention that a
SPLIT was coming - instead it got me!
Go to tools and click see if Google toolbar is checked if not check it.
Hi NCSusan nice getting to be here when you come in ( : Oh how wonderful a Bluebird in your box. I am hoping for one this year also.
Well that was my delete....thought I could put on the other part of thread. Telling them to click on newer but it published over here. Thought it would dang... lol
Thanks WV Dana !
Liz, we heard the saws and lots of hammering last spring like crazy up there at Maine.
Good evening, hope everyone is doing well. All Caught up on posts finally been out most of the day and it sure is a beautiful one.
Paula Happy Birthday and hope you have a wonderful dinner with family
Has anyone heard from WVSusan? Sending good thoughts to her MIL that treatment is going smoothly for her
What is going on with the nest, kinda looks like an egg cup, caught the HP video this morning
Hey, Robyn! Good to see you. No, haven't heard from wv sUSAn this weekend.....probably taking care of Grey's mom, I would guess.
Hi Robyn ! No visits to the nest since early this morning. Except for blackbirds bustling around like little French maids cleaning house.
I'm giving Belle and/or T til' 7 o'clock and then I'm going to head for the TV news and DWTS.
Robyn - it's not really an egg cup - it's just a disarranged clump of straw.
Tori doing alright? Tonsils and wisdom teeth are almost sure things in the kids' lives now a days. Sammy,8 yr old,
has tonsils out after school lets out.
I'm like you Kay - heading for 7:00 news... Need to see how Japan is doing
Come on birds
Nice to see you in here Robyn. Hoping things are going well. Is Tori doing good from the surgery?
I love you Mom's jokes ( :
Japan just can't get a break can it, Jo ? The aftershocks are as violent as most earthquakes around the world.
Thanks Jo. I will watch out and see what happens.
Looks as though Decorah is stocking up the pantry again.
Savahanna and Derek, one of which is with the eaglet... I wish they would go ahead and give the eaglet a name.
I use IE and have Spell Check on my Google toolbar. I think it will automatically let you know of a misspelled word, if you set it that way.
DANA,remember my post on Just for Fun...it had 3 red x's and you wanted to know what happened...well, check it out ... I think it works now.
Evening all.
If you have access to my facebook page. I found to great picture of monarchs. I mean 1000's of monarchs.
Tori is doing good, we saw her oral surgeo today and said she looks good. She still has her tonsils so far no problems with them.
Seems it just started raining but it is still beautiful out
I see all the grass/hay but why? Wouldn't they be leaving the nest now?
I just noticed my cherry tree is in bloom, it must have just popped today, such pretty white flowers.
speaking of blooms my confederate jasmine is in full bloom and the smell is just awesome I linger coming in the house -love just sitting out there and taking it all in lOL
Bumble bees, wasps and flies, oh my.
8-legged creatures I did spy.
I love that spring has finally sprung,
But gotta say that I hate bugs!!
My poetry for the day.
SB count=2 for the day----not too bad....yet.
Wanda - on FB your video came through fine. In fact it kept running and I
saw it twice with one click.
Did Gene call and say he is there safely?
My 5 in a row dogwoods should be blooming by Easter. My maples are
starting - I sure need to have someone
come in and trim some limbs of these
trees.
I am heading for some news......
BBL
here if Fl we have the gross palmetto bug It flies and it is awful and that's all year round not just summer Silver fish is another one I hate. I have a couple of lizards that refuse to let me catch them to throw them out side but they are stubborn so if they want to live here they can eat some bugs for rent LOL
JudyE flying cockaroaches I call them
Belle on Nest
JudyE, I said this morning that it smelled like spring---for a few minutes early on it even smelled like Florida!! Love jasmine fragrance!
Birds in nest!
Rude Dude *TBird on Nest
Wonder if he is going to attack her tonight LOL
Lovely colors---got a pic right before they came in!
Wow, look at that color in the nest!
poof
Belle was looking up at something, still is...could be Lib?
Poof!
Short visit.
I think that pair come in the nest in the evening looking for a snack...no signs of making an egg cup (thank goodness), so I guess they are just sowing their wild oats.
Got 2 pics in album.
We have a kind of roach that is very similar to the palmetto's, JudyE. UGH!!! We also have something that looks a lot like the love bugs, but don't swarm like they do!
Wind stronger at nest than here---look at it rocking. TOo bad there's no eaglet for it to rock to sleep. :(
Oh, Robyn, I went and looked---my cherry tree is in full bloom, too!!
Short visit in lovely colours and the quality of the camera is great. Belle did not seem to tolerate Truder very much when he followed her in literally pushing him away as she moved a twig. What was she so intently looking at I wonder? An reports from the ground as to who is in the skies around the nest?
Wanda I even googled it..didn't look anything like what was in video....What is a conch? What are they used for?
Hi, Gang,
Checking back in quickly. Looks like I missed a nest visit.
We are having strawberry shortcake for dinner again, to use up the last of some GORGEOUS strawberries. Need to go try to catch some evening news to see how Japan is doing. They just can't seem to catch a break!
Will be back later to say goodnight. Hope everyone is having a nice evening!
look under the nest on the bottom left corner something white what is it looks to be moving
I think just a swinging limb/branch.
JudyE, it looks like a lower branch on the tree that you can see through the sticks of the nest.
I took a little over three min video with my camera and am in process of posting to my face book and also I will tag to Nctc and NCTC face book page I use the real player I'm thinking about getting a YouTube acct but don't know if I will I love my real player
I have tried taking pictures but get a flashback of my flash so I just do videos do flash involved
Today is the first day that the Sidney eggs could hatch. Haven't checked the forum but she has had that look a couple of times!
I went outside to rake a little before it got too dark.
The wind started blowing hard and the sky was very dark...came inside and it stopped.
DANA, you know what a conch shell is don't you...those very large shells that you put up to your ear and can hear the ocean:) Well that case is what the conch lays with eggs inside. I was so amazed at that...didn't know what they were. I have seen them lying on the beach often over the years and just thought it was a skeleton or something.
Did you watch the video? Those are the baby conchs falling out of the case. They are, of course, dead.
Wind is getting up again, here. Some big splats of rain. Need to find a weather report...I remember from this morning that there may be severe weather this evening in Elkins and all down through most of west West Virginia.
the color of the camera turns out so good on video KUDDOS to whomever fixed it
Turd Return
Good evening.
I see Truder is in the nest.
BELLE BACK
Belle and Truder....
turd flew the coupe
Truder gone....
The nest is rocking in the wind.
What is in the nest with Belle?
Belle in nest.....
Poof Belle
And poof.
Belle gone
I think it's just more junk, Mariadeangelo. On full screen it doesn't look like anything identifiable---not a turtle.
got a video I'll post on face book again also in Nctc page
I was just thinking turtle also
BBL going to download from camera to face book
DANAwv, I've had one of those baby conch threads for about 30 years...it is my sea coffee table. Jo missed seeing it!!
Yes, JudyE, that's a limb shining white in lower left corner.
Evening Everyone. Just got a Still cam pic w/two eagles, & then one on Live cam. Guess it is Belle, if Turd left first.
I didn't like the blob in the nest, but if it is just a blob, will put pics in album. hmmm
Wanda, tv said after midnight for storms.....hope they pass us by!
Bet the light won't be on much longer.....hope everyone looked at the album pic of the really beautiful colors on the nest a little while ago. Very unusual to get color like that---the sun's paintbrush at work, for sure.
For a sec I thought there was going to be hp atleast twice
FINALLY.....a Viennese waltz! My favorite dance!
That visit was 7min 50 sec that is what I recorded still in process of downloading and the color was magnificent in the first visit
If nest is full screen, looks like white feathers blowing on the upper right part of blob. Then again could be cam noise. Whatever
Spent most of the day outside---manual labor digging holes & then removing, transplanting plants into big 4 gal. pots.A few more that had annuals need to be cleaned & then I'll be ready to plant new ones.
Got a pic of crabapple today--rain will probably ruin the petals.Don't know if redbuds at Park will be decent tomorrow!
Getting thirsty---today is time for iced tea!!
Going to catch some tv check in later
A bit clumsily done, but......the music was lovely!
Wonder where Shirley is?? Haven't heard from her all day, have we?
Naturenut, there were loose white feathers in the nest earlier on. This clump was dug out by Truder from ten o'clock position outside of the cup area...there was no feather when it was first brought there. It must have blown with the wind. I see it now was not there earlier.
Yep, light is gone for all intents and purposes.
Thx, Hoda. I hadn't seen the white feathers earlier.
Gonna fix pics for album~~BBS
Home from the vascular dr. All seems well. He was supportive regarding lack of exercise -- well, duh! We agreed to meet again in six months. Was there for over 3 hours.
Dinner is over, kitchen put together. Very tired now so going to head for the pillows.
Night light is set for 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all. Will try to catch up sometime tomorrow after school.
Sugar Ray is so cute!!! My "hometown" boy!
Good night, tired Judie! He better not have given you any grief----I'll take my eagle cane to him!!! Sleep well. Do you have classes tomorrow??
Iced tea is a staple in our house, Loretta. I think my good health is due to tea...it does have antioxidants or something that is good for you. Hasn't helped my knee...maybe I should have soaked my knee in tea instead of getting all those cortisone shots over the years:)
Loretta, the Red Buds were in beautiful full bloom when we visited there, but I can't remember the exact date.
Ralph Macchio did great!!
Good evening! Dinner done, dishes done and now watching DWTS.
Beautiful day today...sunny and cool. Love it! Jack put in another flagstone path and I planted flowers. More to go tomorrow. Going shopping first. My boys need new sportcoats/blazers, so I am going shopping.
Decorah nest is full of bodies again. Also, she is presently upset about something flying around. She is fussing.
Wanda, tea is 24/7 365 here!!!! Gotta have my tea!
Talked with Laurel. They even had the electricity off for 1 1/2 hours today. She said the kids all came to school with tales of the storm. They had large hail in the neighborhood around the school and it came down sideways, breaking windows, etc. There were trees and fences down.
Really enjoying the music on Dancing.
It is getting dark and both Decorah eagles are in the nest. Guess they are feeling in the need for protection.
Lolly I thought they would have closed Laurel's school.
@Lolly, I see that too. Something has them spooked!
No, too much involved with getting children home. You can not just close, you have to think about how they get home and is there anyone at home. She teaches in a middle school, 6,7. and 8th grade.
They really do work together at Decorah. He is always right there and is a great hunter!
I imagine that's the way Belle & Liberty were. I didn't know their nest before this year.
Ralph Macchio Rocks!! :)
Hope everyone is well. Just jumped in here after checking Decorah.
2 eagles still in the Decorah nest, so strange.
Christine, Belle and Lib did work together. He was a fantastic provider as well. When an eaglet hatched he loaded down the nest.
He just went after something. Neither of them are on the babies
LOL Lolly
you just got WAX
Good Evening Everyone
Won't be up watching the nest in the morning....have some things that must be done during that time
Judie I will do my best to find you some James Rockets... once they start blooming, they stay around for a loooong time...
beautiful lavendar, and also chartreuse...maybe we'll find some in Annandale when I make it down there
Yellow winter cress is starting to "bust out" all over here too...
it's a weed but it sure is pretty
back later, after I finish reading about you folks...
xo
Lolly, the boys grow so fast, I'm sure! Can any of their nice clothes be passed to your youngest GS?
Well going to call it a night. My stupid computer chair came out from underneath me and now my hip and knee hurts. Going to go lay down. Catch you all tomorrow.
Think I'll take my Ipad and head for bed. Good night all and hope you sleep well!
Feel better Leona!
Lolly, I loved the music, too!!
As far as closing school....those are the issues here every time they close due to snow---early dismissal or cancelled for the day...but parent's are supposed to have alternate plans in place "in case".....and they are notified by many means, so.....we rarely have to worry about the kids being on bad roads and that is paramount.
Moon is finally big enough to throw moonglow on the ground---when there isn't a cloud in the way! Pretty!
Leona--ouch! Hope there's no residual effects. Rest well. You, too, Christine!
Yes, the boys grow like weeds. Joseph has had a blazer, but it is too small now and too large for Jacob. Also, in pants, Joseph is a slim and Jacob a regular. Zach is as big as Jacob, just not as quite as tall. The boys all wear out their clothes. And, Zach, the youngest wears designer clothes. No kidding...only the best for that boy! Hand me downs for him? No way, Jose!
Ok. Storms are over. Nothing much to them by the time they got here. Just a little lightening and thrunder. Enough to get Scooter to panting and shaking. Did have Tornado watch out but no warnings. My bedtime now. Diane is up at 5:30 and I get up and have coffee and fix her breakfast usually.
See y'all tomorrow.
Oh yes....the was story was very funny....I'm glad men don't wax. lol
There's my typo. Should have been The Wax story was funny........
Baaack! Put some home & Park plants on blog. Nothing spectacular yet!
Wanda, Margy had mentioned the redbuds in bloom when the gang visited 4-21-09!
I remember a couple years ago that I took pics of them along the highway in April coming back from Pittsburgh.In the dead 'puter, tho, but probably on backup disc. I haven't gone there yet!!!
We have some first year blooming rb's at Park. If it's not pouring, I'll see how they are in AM.
Speaking of that, must shampoo the do!
Glad/hope no one will have bad weather tonight!
If I don't return, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
Well, Red, your funniest typo, is the THRUNDER...or is there such a thing in you neck of the woods?
Happy Birthday Paula!
I hate being a party pooper but I'm afraid I can't find the link for the conch video. Can someone please repost it.
Thanks
GrannieKay
So, Loretta, 10 days from now, the Red Buds should be in full bloom, if we can go by the time that we had our Road Trip there. They are just about that amount of time from blooming full, here.
GrannyKay...that video is on my blog, JUST FOR FUN...scroll down all the way to the bottom of that page and you will see the video:)
Evening, all!
Back from a very nice dinner and some chocolate cupcakes!
Got to play with the kids outside...and watch them jump on the trampoline...it was nice out...storm passed to the east of their house, but we got rain in Emmitsburg.
Then had some nice time with John and Ajay.
Going to work on some pictures!
Oh, my crabapple tree is flowering! And saw lots of beautiful trees in bloom last night on the way home...lots around Annapolis, along the highway...very pretty. My redbud hasn't popped yet.
The evening nest pictures are wonderful, the colors, spectacular.
I am glad that Belle is the last one to have left the nest tonight, if I read that correctly.
Wow, I could use a guy like Red in my life! Coffee and Breakfast in the wee hours of the start of the day ! ♥
Fabulous Paula, great Birthday report....
seems like it was a very very special birthday for a very very special Momster !!
oh, 321, my old fire department monitor number...love it when I hit that blog post number ☺
Probably will be late when I get done reading...and looking at pics and checking links, so will slip this in now:
I said a lot of prayers today, for a lot of needs and friends and family... you were all included
will be back later probably, but,
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One

Can see the nest a little bit better tonight...
Oh, lovely, just on the news, heard that a tornado touched down just a few miles south of us.
Four tornados did damage.
Actually, two tornados just south of us, did quite a bit of damage.
The newest IWS nest, Sauces Canyon has a chick!
That was my delete.
Oh Leona - hope you don't have any problem when you get out of bed in the morning. Take it slow till you know
you can go!
Paula, Family parties are the best.
JudyE your videos of tonight's visits were really great
Redbuds were very pretty as I headed westward.
Lolly that is so scary. Praying for your safety.
We expect storms after midnight.. The kind with thrunder and lightening...
Lolly, I hear you----I was thinking that would be the case with Zach!!!! Bet designer clothes wear out the same way the affordable stuff does!
Didn't know you were getting more bad weather.
Red, you are a good hubby! Know that Diane appreciates you greatly!
Glad your weather was tame.
Still no rain here. 69° still.
Loretta, hope you see lots of good stuff tomorrow!!
Calling 321! You timed that perfectly, Margy!
Yes, Jo, our Newbies are contributing photos and videos galore...we really have a great bunch of New Friends who are great additions to our group!
GOOD NIGHT MY OLD AND NEW FRIENDS
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
Good news for Sauces!!
Wow, sounds like we may have rain off and on all day tomorrow and tomorrow night. Ugh...only one pretty day.
Gonna head for the tub and get my bath BEFORE a storm blows up. Will check back before I hit the hay. Good night now to any who turn in before then.
No more bad weather. Sorry, I was not clear. That was last night. When we were having rain and wind last night, tornados were touching down just south of us. We got up and looked out but did not check the tv for warnings.
Heading to the shower.
Night all!
Sweet dreams!
Whew! lots of nest news, people news, weather news, trees and flowers news....
Glad that so far, so good, regarding our Momsters and Dadsters with the weather, close calls...
I could use some "lightening" tonight ! Always feel and look younger with some blonde highlights ☺
Jo I love your posts, you cover a lot of bases in a little bit of time ☺
Fantastic, Leona's 30-day photo challenge, shall have to repeat that to her in the morning
Bommy

half
Hoda you might see this, being 3 hours "behind" us
I like your spellings for "colours" and "behaviours"...kind of British I guess? My sister does that with some words, too.
Neat !

Wonderful....
I am still hanging around..... but

Good night everyone. Was a beautiful day and we only got a little rain this evening. Jim planted the onions today and more to be planted later.
Prayers for all needs/wants, especially those in pain of body or soul.
God bless
Hi, Crunch!! Good to see you again!!
Still no precip but clouds have rolled in. Still warm!
Great birthday signs/ decos, Paula!! Very special kids you have!!
Nice pics, Loretta!
Calling it a day. Prayers for all. See you tomorrow!!
Good (very late) Evening, Everyone!
OOh--the strawberry shortcake was yummy! Whipped some heavy cream to put on top. Good thing we don't do that very often!
Yes, good to see Crunch here!
Paula, sounds like you had a wonderful Birthday! LOVE the pictures of the Birthday road signs!
Nice balloons and flowers, too!
Well, getting a bit tired, so think I'll adjourn to TV land for a little while. Prayers have been said for everyone, especially those in need of healing.
Judie, thanks for setting the night light to come on! Glad to hear the Dr. was happy with your arteries!
I'm making sure the porch light is on. Eye-scanner security and WV Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sleep tight, everyone, and I'll talk to you in the morning.
God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Good early morning... have read up on all the posts. A lot of news from all areas! Nothing new here. Enjoyed the warm sunny weather today and am sad that its going to rain, but it would make me happier if there would be thunder and lightening!!
Message for the early morning nest watchers: I won't be joining you this morning....had some projects I needed to take care of and ended up staying up until right now working on that...so I am going to be sleeping then instead.
I will miss being in your company
and will watch for your nest news ☺
Have a good day !
xoxo
Oh, darn I missed you Margy.
Good morning all Eagle & nest watchers, and lurkers, too.
Cooler today with some spring showers to bring on those may flowers - can't wait!
PAULA, what an amazingly sweet son you have to do all that for your big day! What a lucky Mom you are.
If I didn't see the counter moving on the cam I'd think it was broken - it's pitch black in the nest this morning.
Hi Lori ! We'll miss you Margy !
My first look at the cam shows the glimmer of white tree trunks, so the sun is slowly creeping up on the nest.
Loved seeing all the signs n' balloons, Paula ! They did it up right for you !
Hi Kay - you bring the sunshine this morning! Thanks for making the nest brighter. :)
Good morning Lori and Kay.Good night Margy!
Just got up here in Hagerstown, heard the downpour at 5 and decided there was no way I was letting the flying labs out in that!
Nest is getting lighter...
LOL - good decision DanaMO. Three wet dogs might overwhelm the senses. :)
Thanks Lori !
Margy isn't here to remind me to refresh, so this post is the string around my finger.
That black blob is near the 7 or 8 o'lock spot. I didn't notice that it was back in the picture yesterday evening ????
Good morning DanaMo !
Glad you got a little extra rest due to the rain. Good thing those pups have good holding power, eh ?
Well after another college visit yesterday, my second oldest seems to have made a decision on where he is going to school next year. I have mixed feeling...He has decided to go to University of Dayton. I think it's
a good decision I just wish it wasn't 6-7 hours away. I pleased that he has decided to continue in college at a Catholic school, but that is far (oh and of course cost more)! Catholic U would have been alot easier.
I'm listening to the news and I can't believe gas prices! I think we should all start walking or biking wherever we need to go! Geez...
Dana - understand your thinking but better to get him out of DC.
Good morning Lori, DanaMo and Kay:)
Today's nest weather- Showers. Cooler with highs in the upper 50s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.
Hi Megan - thanks for the forecast.
Can you make it sunny tomorrow? :)
I hear good things about the U of Dayton, DanaMo. I didn't realize it is a Catholic university. I wondered what was taking you to Dayton when I read a post to that effect, what?, a couple of weeks ago ? Now I know "the rest of the story".
Ugh, gas prices. Another nice thing about retirement. I've filled my GMC Envoy twice this year, on 1/31 and 3/31 ! I operate pretty much within a 3 mile radius and just don't get out at all if the weather is iffy. I love to drive and have driven all over this country with 3 kids on board and often alone since they grew up. Couldn't afford to do so now.
Where are they? Here birdie.
I wish I could, Lori. It would be nice to have several days of sunshine in a row.
Good morning and thanks for the weather report Floralgal ! Sounds like we'll see a soggy nest later today. We're getting so much rain, too. May flowers should be gorgeous, though no match for the beauties you grow.
It's tough to take this temperature drop. I want it to stay warm and sunny.
My son actually found Dayton using Collegeboard.com. I didn't even know about it until we met with the guidance counselor for our senior appointment. When he asked what school were on his list that was at the top. I had never heard of it. We've made to two trips and are really impressed with the engineering program.
Well I'm driving to Baltimore today for a tech. conference so I better get moving!
I keep checking the counter to make sure my cam isn't frozen!
Have a great day and a safe drive Dana.
Looks like it's raining at the nest. Or is that the cam? I wonder if rain would keep them away?
Yes, radar shows rain at the nest now. Some heavy bands of rain about to pass over us.
Gracias Floralgirl.
Bring on the May flowers!
Just refreshed and still can't tell it's raining there. That may well keep them away this morning.
bummer no morning visit. I'm off ladies and gents...Have a great day.
MARGY picked the right day to sleep in...or get the few hours of sleep left after staying up until 4this morning.
Blackbirds beginning to prowl. Occasional gusts of wind blowing through. Belle and t. must be hunkered down out of the elements. Maybe my leaving to read newspapers wil bring them on. There comes the color ! Greener every day ! Have a good day everyone and I'll see ya later !
Have a great day Kay!
Helllllllloooooo - is anyone up yet?
Wanda, WV Dana - are you lurking?
BIG rain drops falling at the nest now.
Yeah, it's really pouring here.
Good Morning all!
Beautiful here this morning...60 with a great breeze. Took the dogs out for a nice long play in the field and walk when it was just barely getting light. Wish I could make a recording of all the birds singing!
Love your mystical looking avatar Lynne. Good morning!
Good morning eagle budlets. I am heading to Wal-Mart for 2 tires and an oil change. BBIALW.
Morning everyone.
I am fine this morning. A little sore still.
Magpie no need to repeat. I seen your post Thanks. I enjoyed doing it. Some of the challenge had to make you think.
Paula I loved the pictures of your signs and the eagle. Hope you had a great birthday.
Hello Everyone.. Just poped in to say hello. I've been checking in from time to time and reading the posts. It's been awhile for the cam though. Did they get a new one or a new view or what? It looks great!
Gotta get moving and get some stuff done. No working in the garden today.
Have a great day all! Blessings and umbrellas for everyone. :)
It's my fav songbird Lori, a Wood Thrush. You can here it if you click on my profile and click the Audio link.
Leona, so sorry your chair tried to kill you! Hope you are feeling better~!
Hi Donnie~new cam this year, but not without glitches.
I am fine Lynne2...
SPLIT
and
Good Morning Eagle Pals ☺
