You are Halfway through JudyE - Happy Easter...!! I have already shut everything down...hope you hear Eagles too while you are home... Maybe they are out fishing today
Okay, time for me to hit the trail
God Bless This Nest, and God Bless Us, Every One xoxo ♥
Good Morning and a Happy and Blessed Easter to all. I just logged on and see there was a visit this morning from Belle and Truder. Thanks for the reports.
HAPPY EASTER BUNNY DAY TO EVERYONE!! Hope you have a beautiful day like we're having here. Bright and approaching 80°!!!
I didn't get here last night---konked out in loungechair after getting home from work--which was a little zooy!---missed dinner,got up at 10AM! I don't do getting out 5 days in a row! 2 community centers scheduled Easter Egg hunt at our big field Sat.,had signs on road for week, but changed the location to an indoor center yesterday AM because of the rain! WHO KNEW!?? I printed up little fliers w/new location & some of our staff went out to the road to give to those arriving at now the wrong place! DUH!!! Some went on heron rookery tour yesterday, so I gave my camera to naturalist, Greg.Altho I put pics on blog a year ago, will see if there are any good new ones.(someday). BTW, he finally saw 2 bobbleheads at eagle nest, said there could be 3, we just can't see! Plz excuse my rambling acct-----hope everyone has a Blessed Day with family and friends! ☺ ♥
It's so nice to share Easter family and friends, but also wonderful to be able to share it with our Eagle family, too!!
Paula You're right about this group being a family!!
Lolly - Glad you didn't get caught in any bad storms. Was worried about you yesterday!!
KayIM - Also happy to hear you didn't have damaging weather last night.
Margy - What a warm and loving sign off last night. You're so special!!
I'm sure we'll all catch up later this evening when our homes are quiet once again.
Safe travels to those traveling today and special blessings to those preparing meals for their family gatherings. It's a lot of work, but having everyone together is a blessing, too!!
We just saw a red tail being chased by a crow. Have seen many meadowlarks! We dyed eggs after dinner last night while poor Daisy hid under the table during yet another storm. Eating well (and by that, I mean TOO MUCH!)
It's sprinkling here, and nice and cool. Our grass and flowers are loving it!
I fell asleep last night after dinner, and didn't make it back here. Took Emma to the dog park yesterday for almost 2 hours, and I guess the fresh air made me tired.
Glad to hear that Leona is doing well! Prayers for a speedy healing.
Well, need to get going. We have a few things to get done. We are having Honey Baked ham, yams, asparagus, and cranberry sauce later today. Oops--Jay, our oldest granddaughter, is on the phone. Will BBL to check in. :o]
The kids and I had a great meal and now they are on their way to Ohio State's Greenhouse for a look at the Corpse Flower in bloom there. I didn't feel like going to smell the putrid odor after a nice meal, but Julie and Hugh are biologists and this plant will only bloom for two days. It's the first one to be grown from seed in Ohio. If interested, take a look.
Wanda, your little "Chug Chug" boy is as cute as can be !
Margy, thanks for the look at Nebraska's Kestral mom and eggs ! Can you imagine how busy that nest is going to be once they've hatched. Hope they're all viable for it will be quite the show.
Red, you've posted a beautiful version of one of the most stirring Easter hymns ever ! On that same YouTube page there is a video of two darling little boys singing it, too. Priceless !
Hoping to hear you've all had good meals and a Blessed Easter Day. Praying for travel mercies for those on the road as you wend your way home this evening.
Glo, I think it is in bloom. See if you can get the cam over to the left to work. I only get a still picture, but it shows the big purple blossom with the pistol (sp?) coming up out of it. Wish I could get the live cam, so I can watch for Julie, Hugh, Seth and the friends they took along. It apparently takes Firefox and I don't have that.
OK I see the bloom is where the bottom part opens up. I don't think the cam changes pictures for much. I am on Firefox and in a minute id didn't change at all. But folks are there with cameras etc.
Yep I was right was lightening storm just passing over So I know I'm not seeing things sometimes ya wonder LOL
this is a cool interactive map you have to put your zipcode in or just use your cursor to move map where you want A really neat interactive weather map
JudyE, LOL on the commercial !!! Thanks for the weather link, I'm going to go to Intellicast.com and set it up for my area.
Paula, when you get home fill us in on all you accomplished out there, huh ?
Glo, glad you got what you needed out of that cam. Quite an interesting plant. I didn't see people holding their noses and I probably should have gone along. Oh, well.
Lots of nestorations and fluffing the flugg. Big stick moved by Belle. I think Truder is trying to look industrious, even tho' he's just messes up nest.
Haven't caught up yet, but hope everyone is having a great Easter. Sprinkling here....some rough weather in places, but not here! Our dinner was very nice. Clean up done by the girls, and all are gone now.
Hate to bear bad news....found a BABY stink bug out on the railing....THE NEXT GENERATION....ugh!
Hey, Lynn n' JudyE ! Glad you were on for the landings ! Have either of them made a sound ? How those folks on OC can possibly think this male is Lib after watching his lack of nestoration skill is beyond me. He can't get the hang of anchoring the limbs, branches, sticks in to the rail. Mighty strong wind a blowin' there !
Lynn, happy to hear your dinner was good and that the girls did the clean up. My sil did most of the clean up here. Good kids we've got in our families !
Stink bug, oh, no ! I read in our paper today that there is a certain kind of wasp that may be key to eradicating the little stinkers. Don't know which I'd rather have.
There was one of those plants in DC a few years ago....couldn't believe the crowds that went to see it! I don't do well with bad odors....no desire to see it in person, but the news did a good job of showing it blooming!
Forgot to ask any of the kids to pull trashcan out to road....now raining steadily...and will be dark before too long. Guess I'll have to put up the bumbershoot!
Lynne and Paula, safe travels home. Sissy is back in her roost, and I guess Shar and T-bird will be soon, if not already.
Hello - Had a wonderful Easter day right down to an egg hunt and ham that was 'out of this world'. All the sides were also delicious. I won't really need to eat much this whole week.
Praying that Paula doesn't meet up with bad weather on her trip home. As the last car with family left here the huge rain drops started but for only a short time. Ok - hubby and I have been relaxing and now we are going to watch a taped show that we missed being down at the beach beginning of this week. The nest - are they actually digging an egg cup? Off I go to the TV..... BBL
Happy Easter After Din Din relax time! I missed the visitors in the nest---was on phone w/daughter.Wanted to call before the heavier lightning struck. Not too bad tho-- thunderstorm, but not too heavy. Hope everyone is safe and esp. our road travelers. Loved Red's hymn & very interesting eagle story from Lynn. At first I couldn't believe an eaglet was flying, but realized they're in the South. Around 8:20PM, we had lovely blue & pink sky near hotizon in NW,but the lightning was starting in the West.
Time for me to head upstairs. I had a very busy day. Tomorrow is the last day of spring break for Hunter and me. Hunter had a week and a day. Pretty good break.
Yes, it does sound like some wonderful family times. Shirley, sorry Susan missed the Easter Time with a headache... Glad your traveling weather was okay Paula
Kay - Neat link to the Titan Arum, wow, what a plant! Do NOT think I would like the "fragrance" as I read it when the reason was given for the name "Corpse Flower".
yesterday when I HEARD a Red-Shouldered Hawk, it was then chased by about six crows ! Read your post about the Red-Tailed. Speaking of which, the 3rd egg is hatching or has completed hatching at the Red-Tail cam in Portland Oregon interesting 4-legged ? creature food in that nest, comments says a rat :( Cam view is kind of grainy tonight but here is the link: Red-Tailed Hawk, Portland Oregan
Really pouring here now. Was watching end of Trump show. Margy, checked out the hawk cam. One chick's a real bully. Saw Mom feeding two, and when she backed away from the one chick, the left one pecked at it's beak as if to steal the food! Glad everyone has had safe travels home. Gonna shut down, so after a very nice day, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
LOL, Margy!!!! I've done some crazy things, but I NEVER did that!!! Whatever raptor has, she's feeding it now! Hope your day was full of James!! Sleep tight!
Paula.....sound is only intermittant. Poor Nugz! Y-a-w-n! Can't wait for more pics!
Diane and I spent all afternoon with her brother and his family and pets after a wonderful Easter dinner. I'll see my brother from Chattanooga next Saturday.
Red, great that you all are getting some family time!!! I was just wondering if you had children---have never heard mention that I recall! Glad you had a nice day, and another weekend to look forward to!
News time. I am tired....going to wrap it up here. End of a wonderful weekend! Sleep tight, and hope your week starts off sunny!! Love all y'all. Prayers and peace.
I'm sorry to report that we didn't see any bears. We did have a nano second of thinking we saw one. It was big and black, and it was a COW. In the forest. With another cow, lighter in color.
I'm heading to bed. Good night and prayers for all!
Well another holiday comes to an end. Thankful for all my friends' and families' having a wonderful day. Next is Memorial Day. And can't believe that Buddy is 3 yrs old. Margy you're not going to live down the washer story - ROFL Tomorrow Egg Roll at White House and the Bragg Bunch will be there at noon. I sure have enjoyed spending time with them.
Hi all! We are home had a fantastic day! We were the last to leave. I bathed Zacharoo and got him ready for bed. Then Ashley put him to bed and the four of us sat and talked. Nice way to end the day. Food was fantastic and very different. Michael grilled a pork tenderloin as well as lamb tenderloin. In additon to that he grilled pineapple and corn on the cob. With all this we had deviled eggs, cheese mashed potatoes, tossed salad and potato salad. The potato salad was made with blue cheese and bacon. Yummy! For dessert...fruit pizza that Laurel made. Besides family they had good friends with their two little girls and his father. Kids had a ball playing. Joseph and Jacob only lost Zach's balls over the fence twice. One is stuck in an arbor and the other went into their pool. They threw one back over the fence but their gardener will have to retrieve the other one. LOL
Good to hear about that young eaglet. Also, really like that weather map. Thanks Judy!
You can move right over to Texas and see the storms that popped up tonight. ☺ I drove home and most of the way it was raining hard. Not far from home it was pouring, but as we got closer you could see that it only sprinkled here. That is two nights in a row it went north of us. Oh, and I think that map is funny. It leaves off the name Fort Worth, a big city, but has some very small towns listed. Weird!
Mema Jo are you going to the White House tomorrow? THE White House? This would be awesome...you will have to write about that...Do you live in DC or Virginia? So incredible to have someone announce casually they are going to the White House for an Easter egg roll!!!
Hi, Everyone, I'm getting here kind of late tonight.
Glad that everyone had a nice Easter. We did too. After an early call from Jay, our oldest gd, we talked to our daughter Jen on the phone, and also Courtney, our youngest gd, and Sierra, our ggd. They had a bunch of family over for brunch and an Easter egg hunt.
We listened to Handel's "Messiah" this afternoon. It's a favorite of both of us. Had a new bird in the yard as we were eating our dinner--a Bushtit. Very cute!
Well, need to get some sleep. It will be an early morning tomorrow!
Prayers have been said for everyone. Judie, thank you for setting the night light. I'm checking to make sure the porch light went on. The eye-scanner security and WV Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Hope everyone has sweet dreams. I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Hoda, Jo lives in Maryland. The Bragg bunch going to the Whitehouse is Jo's grandson and his family. He has two precious little girls. He is in the service, returned not long ago from living in Germany.
Heading to the shower. Jack has been in his chair snoring for quite some time. LOL I have been over on fb.
Nite all! So glad everyone had a great Easter. Sweet Easter dreams!
Well here I am, once again doing face plants onto the keyboard.I think I have had a touch of African Sleeping Sickness!
Good Night my friends SWEET DREAMS TKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKL WHOOPS...I actually feel asleep! PRAYERS FOR ALL
I checked in - lurk mode - about 7 last night and I see that Belle & Truder made it to the nest just before I got here and AGAIN around 8:15pm. I'm so happy they're still coming for multiple visits a day.
Lori: Sorry I am going to miss out on the morning fun, been trying to get a wedding present packaged up for mailing Monday!
I'll watch for what you have seen when I get up
I was checking blog posts and cams when I started the water and put soap in the washer...closed the top and forgot about it until first spin cycle...shucks, I hated to waste water !!! Good Night, now, really... Have a good day at work....
LIB, we have not forgotten and we miss you so much.

THEY FLEW IN TOGETHER. NOW TRUDER PECKING AROUND NEST BOTTOM. BELLE STANDING NEAR CENTER & JUST MOVED TO TO HELP TRUDER WITH A STICK...A LITTLE NESTORATING.
TRUDER STANDING ON SIDE OF NEST AT 10 FACING OUT. BELLE STANDING IN NEST RIGHT BEHIND HIM. tRUDER JUST STEPPED DOWN FROM SIDE OF NEST AND WALKED SLOWLY, ALMOST LIKE A STALKER AROUND BELLE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEST.
Starting the cabinets today Lori. Have to scrub them all down first. Took all the knobs off on Saturday and started washing. I have a fairly large kitchen though and I didn't get very far. I didn't want to take too much out of the cabinets before Easter dinner. So today I start, I'll post pics probably on Facebook, now that Lent is over.
Retirement begins June 14. At least, that is when I stop working.I will be on the payroll until the end of August. I can remember when teachers did not get paychecks in summer, but now they spread the paychecks over 12 months, at least at the schools I have been at.
Watching for now. Might fall asleep, though. George got me up early this morning. I took care of the critters and saw Kathryn off to her job. Mockingbird singing away outdoors.
I'm on a 12 month pay too. Thank goodness I get paid over the summer. Of course it's not much being in a private school. Our newspaper just published the salaries of public school teachers and I was so shocked. This is why I say teaching at a Catholic school is a Vocation not a job. Wow I could be making so much more money.
I know there is a difference. I guess you probably don't have as many difficult children to deal with, but I am sure there are other problems to deal with at a private school.
Lori, great job of soloing for a while, so glad you had the time this morning ! Love your salute to Lib !
Margy, I know you're not up yet, but this avatar is the one I promised you about a week ago. Taken last Fall, Seth and I, tickets in hand, wait to enter the Oval at OSU. A huge Get Out The Vote rally where the Obamas and Ohio candidates appeared.
DanaMo, good luck with those cabinets !
Shirley, June 14 will be here before you know it and you'll be FREE !!!! Yeah !!!!
I have a blog with my pictures if you click my name you can see that as a blog, but the way I posted my previous pictures was basically in a message I guess, and I want to post them as a link so that it doesn't take up so much space. 'know what I mean? Does that make sense. I opened a Picaso account but haven't really played with it. I figure it's good back up to have my pictures in the "cloud" LOL! Love that expression.
Thanks for the Hug, Lori, the coffee's great this morning. Glad I popped in before it was all gone ! Love your little bluebird--looks like a side view of "The Mad Bluebird".
Hi Shirley, hope Susan is feeling better today ! I think a lot of folks here are suffering with sinus headaches and arthritic pains as the rain continues to fall. Hour after hour after hour......
Good morning all:) Today's nest weather- Partly sunny. Areas of fog in the morning. A chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some thunderstorms may be severe. Highs in the lower 80s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 30 percent. It's very nice outside here this morning, already 57° and sunny.
Out of the corner of my eye I was watching the cam and saw a streak of orange, think it was a Baltimore oriole that just flew up near the bottom right of the nest. Also, in the past week, we have seen an osprey fly over our yard twice. Yesterday I finally saw my phoebes, and indigo bunting. Now all that is missing in my yard are the catbirds and brown thrasher.
Good morning one and all got to got to sleep in this am Put in for a day off today to go to Busch Gardens Missed the am visit. Lori so sorry I changed my avatar last night to the visit Jordyn and I did the other day seeing Winter the Dolphin. And the wash machine story was funny and has happened to me also besides others like putting the coffee pot on and forgetting to put the water in it one time and other times forgetting to put the coffee in it-- Woke up to hot water MMM Oh and the big one I use to do is when making tea in my coffee pots is forgetting to empty the coffee grinds from the basket End up having Tea hazelnut coffeee YUK that was not good My mother one time put the carton of milk on the burner and the coffee pot in the refrigerator I say you should always be able to laugh at your self when you do silly things Heres to hoping everyone have a good day and Mema Jo oh going to the White House that sound so awesome make sure we get to see some pictures
JudyE, coming out of LM briefly, to say, "Have a wonderful day at Busch Gardens !" One of my favorite destinations when kids came to visit during my Tarpon Springs years.
What a funny list of household gaffes you've put together. Recently my tub of margarine went missing. None for my morning oatmeal and no idea where it went. Last used on a baked potato the night before. I cook oatmeal in the microwave and when I opened the door, you guessed it, there sat the oleo !
Margy's washing machine cleaning cycle I've not used, but I have loaded the washer, put in the detergent, run the water....Going back later to find nothing had happened because I failed to put the lid down. :o(
Lori, yes twas' I who received the last PSF. I'm going to need many more before, just one did nothin' for this mug of mine. Oh, well...
"For beauty I'd not take a prize, there are many more beautiful far. But, my face, I don't mind it, for I am behind it. The people in front get the jar !"
ARGH Captured by Blogger Cop this morning. I am going out to mow BEFORE the rain starts again. Will read late now. Make it a good day. Its gonna be biscuits and gravy here when I get my work done as I am doing this before food just to beat this stupid weather.

It's so nice to share Easter family and friends, but also wonderful to be able to share it with our Eagle family, too!!
Paula You're right about this group being a family!!
Lolly - Glad you didn't get caught in any bad storms. Was worried about you yesterday!!
KayIM - Also happy to hear you didn't have damaging weather last night.

See you soon!!
Happy Easter, Lynne2! We miss you!!
Hope everyone is well and having a good day!
We just saw a red tail being chased by a crow. Have seen many meadowlarks! We dyed eggs after dinner last night while poor Daisy hid under the table during yet another storm. Eating well (and by that, I mean TOO MUCH!)
Going to be heading home in a couple of hours!
Home from church. It was a wonderful service and the church decorated with Easter lilies.
Now to get ready for an great afternoon in Dallas.
Once again....Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, Everyone!
He is risen indeed!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter.
It's sprinkling here, and nice and cool. Our grass and flowers are loving it!
I fell asleep last night after dinner, and didn't make it back here.

I see my link didn't work, even though it read right in Preview ???
Giving it another try.
TitanArum
Gosh KayIM Thats a cool link. Will they take pictures. I want to see it opened and in bloom :-)
Glo, I think it is in bloom. See if you can get the cam over to the left to work. I only get a still picture, but it shows the big purple blossom with the pistol (sp?) coming up out of it. Wish I could get the live cam, so I can watch for Julie, Hugh, Seth and the friends they took along. It apparently takes Firefox and I don't have that.
I'm sure Hugh will be getting pics with his Iphone, so I hope to get them, too.
Big noisey black bird in nest
Oh OK Kay IM I need to go back and see if I can get the live cam to work
Heading home...catch ya later!
OK I see the bloom is where the bottom part opens up. I don't think the cam changes pictures for much. I am on Firefox and in a minute id didn't change at all. But folks are there with cameras etc.
OK much different and lager group of folks now so it does change. Safe travels Paula I bet she hates to leave the Beach House. I certainly would.
Looks like its lightening at the nest I'm gonna go see if I can check out the interactive radar that I have in my favs.
Yep I was right was lightening storm just passing over So I know I'm not seeing things sometimes ya wonder LOL
this is a cool interactive map you have to put your zipcode in or just use your cursor to move map where you want
A really neat interactive weather map
Of course the map is set with my area in it when I sent the link
Well go to LURKING MODE
This is too funny I just saw it commercial during The Closer and had to share
Poise commerical with Whoopi FUNNY
Very FUNNY JudyE on the Poise commercial...I liked her Cleopatra outfit, of course I would;););)!!! and of course the French accent on Liberté, Liberté...
JudyE, LOL on the commercial !!! Thanks for the weather link, I'm going to go to Intellicast.com and set it up for my area.
Paula, when you get home fill us in on all you accomplished out there, huh ?
Glo, glad you got what you needed out of that cam. Quite an interesting plant. I didn't see people holding their noses and I probably should have gone along. Oh, well.
Happy Easter to all. Hope your dday has been celebrated well and fed even better!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful day. Just checking in to see if our eagles were going to visit this evening. I'll be lurking...
again I hear geese I want eagle sounds not geese Always lurking just had to acknowledge the geese
TBird On Nest
Truder in nest!
Belle On Nest
And now Belle arrives!
Lots of nestorations and fluffing the flugg. Big stick moved by Belle. I think Truder is trying to look industrious, even tho' he's just messes up nest.
Haven't caught up yet, but hope everyone is having a great Easter. Sprinkling here....some rough weather in places, but not here! Our dinner was very nice. Clean up done by the girls, and all are gone now.
Hate to bear bad news....found a BABY stink bug out on the railing....THE NEXT GENERATION....ugh!
Wind is quite strong at nest...only sound I hear, and even it is intermittant. But you can see from the motion that the wind ISN'T stopping!
Hey, Lynn n' JudyE ! Glad you were on for the landings ! Have either of them made a sound ? How those folks on OC can possibly think this male is Lib after watching his lack of nestoration skill is beyond me. He can't get the hang of anchoring the limbs, branches, sticks in to the rail. Mighty strong wind a blowin' there !
Lynn, happy to hear your dinner was good and that the girls did the clean up. My sil did most of the clean up here. Good kids we've got in our families !
Stink bug, oh, no ! I read in our paper today that there is a certain kind of wasp that may be key to eradicating the little stinkers. Don't know which I'd rather have.
PoofTBird
Poof Belle
POOF, both at the same time!
Wow ! That was the most synchronized dual take off I've ever seen !
Yep, Kay, take-off was perfectly timed!
There was one of those plants in DC a few years ago....couldn't believe the crowds that went to see it! I don't do well with bad odors....no desire to see it in person, but the news did a good job of showing it blooming!
Forgot to ask any of the kids to pull trashcan out to road....now raining steadily...and will be dark before too long. Guess I'll have to put up the bumbershoot!
Lynne and Paula, safe travels home.
Sissy is back in her roost, and I guess Shar and T-bird will be soon, if not already.
Loved the links to the great hymns. So many of my favorites are special to Easter.
Hello - Had a wonderful Easter day right down to an egg hunt and ham
that was 'out of this world'. All the sides were also delicious. I
won't really need to eat much this whole week.
Praying that Paula doesn't meet up with bad weather on her trip home.
As the last car with family left here the huge rain drops started but for only a short time.
Ok - hubby and I have been relaxing and now we are going to watch a taped show that we missed being down at the beach beginning of this week.
The nest - are they actually digging an egg cup?
Off I go to the TV..... BBL
He's Back
Truder back.

Good evening, all.
Rain, thunder, and lightening here. Going to shut down.
The night light is set on automatic for 11:00pm. Restful sleep for all.
BBL hold the fort down
Light is already fading....argh!
Good news!
Fallen eaglet back with family
Happy Easter After Din Din relax time!
I missed the visitors in the nest---was on phone w/daughter.Wanted to call before the heavier lightning struck. Not too bad tho-- thunderstorm, but not too heavy.
Hope everyone is safe and esp. our road travelers.
Loved Red's hymn & very interesting eagle story from Lynn. At first I couldn't believe an eaglet was flying, but realized they're in the South.
Around 8:20PM, we had lovely blue & pink sky near hotizon in NW,but the lightning was starting in the West.
Hi,
Nice Easter day visit here with family. Rus, Rebecca, and Will came. Susan stayed home with a headache. We missed her.
Thanks for the link to the fallen eagle story, Lynn.
Lightening here now, too, Loretta.
Don't hear any thunder....yet!
Shirley, hope Suzi is okay. Know you missed her.
Evening all!
I think Steve forgot Weekend Thread 2, LOL
Two Harbors
Both adults were on nest and now just one adult
and baby was squealing/whimpering
reminds me of Palmer
West End, three babies plotzed out
Good Easter Evening Eagle Pals ♥
See we had a late evening visit....
Hit some rain on the way home...not too bad...
two poop shoots and baby alone now at TH
parent soared off into the distance
beautiful
Time for me to head upstairs. I had a very busy day. Tomorrow is the last day of spring break for Hunter and me. Hunter had a week and a day. Pretty good break.
Oh, the wysteria trees down at the shore were gorgeous!
Glad the eaglet got home!
Wanda, that is too cute about Jayden putting the eggs back!
Yes, it was hard to leave the beach tonight...the weather was gorgeous! Didn't hit any rain till we reached Annapolis.
Sounds like some wonderful family get togethers today!
Oh, all the swimming yesterday wore out poor Nugz today...about noon time he didn't even want to go out on the beach...he wanted to sleep, LOL
Yes, it does sound like some wonderful family times.
Shirley, sorry Susan missed the Easter Time with a headache...
Glad your traveling weather was okay Paula
Kay - Neat link to the Titan Arum, wow, what a plant! Do NOT think I would like the "fragrance" as I read it when the reason was given for the name "Corpse Flower".
Good news about the eaglets at PRP Loretta
Evening all! Happy Easter again!
We got home a couple of hours ago.
Very happy to hear our sound is back!
Okay Welcome Back, Lynne...☺
yesterday when I HEARD a Red-Shouldered Hawk, it was then chased by about six crows !
Read your post about the Red-Tailed.
Speaking of which, the 3rd egg is hatching or has completed hatching at the Red-Tail cam in Portland Oregon
interesting 4-legged ? creature
food in that nest, comments says a rat :(
Cam view is kind of grainy tonight but here is the link:
Red-Tailed Hawk, Portland Oregan
Thinking NCTC Steve probably had some Family Time this week-end...hope so !
actually it looks like a chicken at the Red-Tailed Hawk's nest !
the sound at NCTC during the thunderstorm last night was awesome, Paula...AND the White lightning !
wondering if GG decided she wanted to go out to dinner today, and if so, what her choice was !
Hope Megan had a good Market Day !
(actually, wondering if it WAS a Market Day ??)
Signing off for now...
Best wishes to all for a good restful sleep after a busy day and week-end
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Halftimer's Ailment here...
just ran the washer, forgot to put the clothes in !!!
I'm not sure I would have told that one. lol
Really pouring here now. Was watching end of Trump show.
Margy, checked out the hawk cam. One chick's a real bully. Saw Mom feeding two, and when she backed away from the one chick, the left one pecked at it's beak as if to steal the food!
Glad everyone has had safe travels home.
Gonna shut down, so after a very nice day, Pleasant Feather Dreams to all ;>)
oh no Margy! I've done that too....SO annoying! But not as bad as my forgetting the meatloaf...
LOL, Margy!!!! I've done some crazy things, but I NEVER did that!!!
Whatever raptor has, she's feeding it now!
Hope your day was full of James!!
Sleep tight!
Paula.....sound is only intermittant. Poor Nugz! Y-a-w-n! Can't wait for more pics!
Lynne, glad you are home safe, too!
Diane and I spent all afternoon with her brother and his family and pets after a wonderful Easter dinner. I'll see my brother from Chattanooga next Saturday.
Carolyn brought me a lovely hyacinth today. 6----count 'em SIX----BIG blooms. Just beautiful...and smells SO good!
We lots lots of pretty wisteria yesterday down in McLean, too, Paula!
I've been reading back a bit....sounds like everyone had a really nice weekend! Also nice to see we had a few visits from the eagles.
how nice Lynn! You'll have to plant them so they'll come up again next spring too!
Red, great that you all are getting some family time!!! I was just wondering if you had children---have never heard mention that I recall! Glad you had a nice day, and another weekend to look forward to!
News time. I am tired....going to wrap it up here. End of a wonderful weekend!
Sleep tight, and hope your week starts off sunny!! Love all y'all.
Prayers and peace.
I'm sorry to report that we didn't see any bears. We did have a nano second of thinking we saw one. It was big and black, and it was a COW. In the forest. With another cow, lighter in color.
I'm heading to bed. Good night and prayers for all!
Big yawn here, have to get some sleep
Hugs to all
Well another holiday comes to an end. Thankful for all my friends' and families' having a wonderful day. Next is Memorial Day. And
can't believe that Buddy is 3 yrs old.
Margy you're not going to live down the washer story - ROFL
Tomorrow Egg Roll at White House and the Bragg Bunch will be there at noon. I sure have enjoyed spending time with them.
Good night friends
Sleep well & don't forget to say
your prayers..........
Hugs to all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Goodnight all.
Prayers for a restful sleep. Catch you tomorrow.
God bless
Hi all! We are home had a fantastic day! We were the last to leave. I bathed Zacharoo and got him ready for bed. Then Ashley put him to bed and the four of us sat and talked. Nice way to end the day. Food was fantastic and very different. Michael grilled a pork tenderloin as well as lamb tenderloin. In additon to that he grilled pineapple and corn on the cob. With all this we had deviled eggs, cheese mashed potatoes, tossed salad and potato salad. The potato salad was made with blue cheese and bacon. Yummy! For dessert...fruit pizza that Laurel made. Besides family they had good friends with their two little girls and his father. Kids had a ball playing. Joseph and Jacob only lost Zach's balls over the fence twice. One is stuck in an arbor and the other went into their pool. They threw one back over the fence but their gardener will have to retrieve the other one. LOL
Good to hear about that young eaglet. Also, really like that weather map. Thanks Judy!
You can move right over to Texas and see the storms that popped up tonight. ☺ I drove home and most of the way it was raining hard. Not far from home it was pouring, but as we got closer you could see that it only sprinkled here. That is two nights in a row it went north of us. Oh, and I think that map is funny. It leaves off the name Fort Worth, a big city, but has some very small towns listed. Weird!
Mema Jo are you going to the White House tomorrow? THE White House? This would be awesome...you will have to write about that...Do you live in DC or Virginia? So incredible to have someone announce casually they are going to the White House for an Easter egg roll!!!
Hi, Everyone,
I'm getting here kind of late tonight.
Glad that everyone had a nice Easter.
We did too. After an early call from Jay, our oldest gd, we talked to our daughter Jen on the phone, and also Courtney, our youngest gd, and Sierra, our ggd.
They had a bunch of family over for brunch and an Easter egg hunt.
We listened to Handel's "Messiah" this afternoon. It's a favorite of both of us. Had a new bird in the yard as we were eating our dinner--a Bushtit. Very cute!
Well, need to get some sleep. It will be an early morning tomorrow!
Prayers have been said for everyone. Judie, thank you for setting the night light. I'm checking to make sure the porch light went on. The eye-scanner security and WV Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Hope everyone has sweet dreams. I'll talk to you tomorrow. God bless, and goodnight! Love all of you! :o]
Hoda, Jo lives in Maryland. The Bragg bunch going to the Whitehouse is Jo's grandson and his family. He has two precious little girls. He is in the service, returned not long ago from living in Germany.
Heading to the shower. Jack has been in his chair snoring for quite some time. LOL I have been over on fb.
Nite all! So glad everyone had a great Easter. Sweet Easter dreams!
Well here I am, once again doing face plants onto the keyboard.I think I have had a touch of African Sleeping Sickness!
Good Night my friends
SWEET DREAMS
TKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKLKL
WHOOPS...I actually feel asleep!
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Nite Wanda!
Have just been playing with my avatar and had to come back to see how it works. LOL
Works! LOL
TEAM LIBERTY!!!
That's a good one, Lolly!
I didn't go to bed, been working on something
think we have an egg at this nest, the "other Finland" nest that Hedgie brought to our attention a few weeks ago:
The Other Finland Nest
I tried twice to get a picture and failed....thought I saw her a few hours ago hovering as if she was about to lay it, pretty sure she did !
Dad keeps going in and out of the nest, think he wants a peek !
I might try flower avatars this week, this one is a Mature Dandelion ☺
Make A Wish !
won't make it for the morning nest-watching, think I will probably be sawing logs at that hour,
sorry to miss my nest-watching buddies !
Good Night Once again...
Prayers on your Pillows
xoxo ♥
finally, see an osprey at this Finland Nest:
Saaksi Hailuoto
We have called this one "Finney"
for several years
Oh Lolly ! Your sunshine, my fave, is back and you put TEAM LIBERTY on it. How cool! I love it.
JudyE - your three crosses with the sunset avatar gets my vote for the prettiest - that's jaw dropping gorgeous. I hope you keep it for a while.
Margy . . L O L. Did that same washer trick a few years ago - you made me laugh with that one.
Wanda - hope you get over your sleeping sickness :) It was probably just a busy day of church, GG, food and family.
I checked in - lurk mode - about 7 last night and I see that Belle & Truder made it to the nest just before I got here and AGAIN around 8:15pm. I'm so happy they're still coming for multiple visits a day.
MARGY - are you still up?
Lori:
Sorry I am going to miss out on the morning fun, been trying to get a wedding present packaged up for mailing Monday!
I'll watch for what you have seen when I get up
I was checking blog posts and cams when I started the water and put soap in the washer...closed the top and forgot about it until first spin cycle...shucks, I hated to waste water !!!
Good Night, now, really...
Have a good day at work....
Get some rest Margy - I don't know how you operate on so little sleep!
Sweet dreams.
Hey KAY, you had the call over on this thread, so does that mean you get the PSF?
Welcome Early Birders DanaMO, KayIM, JudyE, Margy (who was up very late & may not be here this morning) . . .
The Sunrise Sycamore Cyber Cafe is happy to be serving our own Breakfast Blend coffee this morning. Help yourself.
LIB, we have not forgotten and we miss you so much.

Light at the nest now.
BELLE & TRUDER IN THE NEST
THEY FLEW IN TOGETHER.
NOW TRUDER PECKING AROUND NEST BOTTOM. BELLE STANDING NEAR CENTER & JUST MOVED TO TO HELP TRUDER WITH A STICK...A LITTLE NESTORATING.
TRUDER STANDING ON SIDE OF NEST AT 10 FACING OUT. BELLE STANDING IN NEST RIGHT BEHIND HIM.
tRUDER JUST STEPPED DOWN FROM SIDE OF NEST AND WALKED SLOWLY, ALMOST LIKE A STALKER AROUND BELLE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEST.
TRUDER PULLING ON A BRANCH ALONG NEST RAIL AT 3:30. BELLE PECKING AROUND IN FLUFF.
TRUDER HAS MOVED ON TO THE 5 POSITION PLAYING HANDYMAN.
BELLE FLIES OUT AT 2.
TRUDER STANDING ON RIGHT HALF OF NEST NEAR CENTER, LOOKING AROUND LIKE "WHERE DID SHE GO? SHE ALWAYS DOES THAT!"
TRUDER HEADED TO LAUNCH PAD AT 2 & FACING OUT.
TRUDER TURNS AROUND AND MOVES TO OTHER SIDE OF NEST AT 6, BUT LOOKING ALL AROUND.
TRUDER STILL STANDING ON EDGE OF NEST AT 6 LOOING TO LEFT (TOWARDS 9 OR 10 THEN STRAIGHT AHEAD.
Turned on the nest and surprise, Truder is looking right up at me! LOL
And the color just came on too!
TRUDER FLIES OUT OVER 2, SAME DIRECTION THAT BELLE WENT.
Eagle alert!!!
Truder
TRUDER IS BACK. QUICK ONE.
Good morning Lori. Good to "see" you this morning. Got my steaming cup in front of me, thanks :)
Truder left and came back! I'll let you post the details.
Mornin' Shirley
Just came in for a landing.
TRUDER LOOKING OUT AT 12. AND POOOOOFFF! HE'S GONE.
And took off again.
Good morning.
Good morning, Lori and DanaMo.
Dana, Shirley - Will you please watch the nest and document activity? I need to jump on another job for a few.
Thanks! BBS
okay..I'll watch the nest.
Hello DanaMO and Shirley!
Shirley when does the retirement begin?
I hope you both had a nice Easter.
OK Dana!
Starting the cabinets today Lori. Have to scrub them all down first. Took all the knobs off on Saturday and started washing. I have a fairly large kitchen though and I didn't get very far. I didn't want to take too much out of the cabinets before Easter dinner. So today I start, I'll post pics probably on Facebook, now that Lent is over.
Retirement begins June 14. At least, that is when I stop working.I will be on the payroll until the end of August. I can remember when teachers did not get paychecks in summer, but now they spread the paychecks over 12 months, at least at the schools I have been at.
Watching for now. Might fall asleep, though. George got me up early this morning. I took care of the critters and saw Kathryn off to her job. Mockingbird singing away outdoors.
WOW - life changing moments here at the Sunrise Sycamore Cyber Cafe!
Shirley you must be so excited. I'm so excited for you!
Congratulations on your retirement.
I'm on a 12 month pay too. Thank goodness I get paid over the summer. Of course it's not much being in a private school. Our newspaper just published the salaries of public school teachers and I was so shocked. This is why I say teaching at a Catholic school is a Vocation not a job. Wow I could be making so much more money.
I am looking forward to it, Lori. There are many things I want to do.
Way to go DanaMO! I envy yo ur ambition and am so glad you're gonna put the pics on FB. On FB or your blog here?
Facebook...I need to figure out a better way to put them on the blog. I guess upload them to Picasso and then post a link?
I know there is a difference. I guess you probably don't have as many difficult children to deal with, but I am sure there are other problems to deal with at a private school.
You can put pictures on your own blog here.
Many of us have pictures on our blogs here.
Oh yes, I believe we each have our own problems. No school is perfect that is for sure. It's a trade-off! There are issues in each.
Good morning Early Birds--my turn to sleep in.
Lori, great job of soloing for a while, so glad you had the time this morning ! Love your salute to Lib !
Margy, I know you're not up yet, but this avatar is the one I promised you about a week ago. Taken last Fall, Seth and I, tickets in hand, wait to enter the Oval at OSU. A huge Get Out The Vote rally where the Obamas and Ohio candidates appeared.
DanaMo, good luck with those cabinets !
Shirley, June 14 will be here before you know it and you'll be FREE !!!! Yeah !!!!
Dana - just click on your name above one of your posts here, and it'll take you to a page where you can choose to create your own blog.
I have a blog with my pictures if you click my name you can see that as a blog, but the way I posted my previous pictures was basically in a message I guess, and I want to post them as a link so that it doesn't take up so much space. 'know what I mean? Does that make sense.
I opened a Picaso account but haven't really played with it. I figure it's good back up to have my pictures in the "cloud" LOL! Love that expression.
Margy, that was a good cleaning you gave the washing machine ! LOL
Enjoyed all the postitive reports of Easter Day---fun n' food---safe homecomings !
Lynn, the story of the little eagle, all healed and returning to the nest is heartwarming !
Hmm, looks like DanaMo already has lots of pictures on her blog.
Good Morning Kay!
(( BIG HUG ))
'Morning Kay!
Okay...I'm off to start emptying the cabinets. Oh I am not looking forward to this job. I'm so impatient, I just want it done!
I'll be lurking. Have a great day everyone.
I suppose you could do a link; I don't think I've done one to Picasso.
Have fun, DanaMo.
Mornin', Kay.
Thanks for the Hug, Lori, the coffee's great this morning. Glad I popped in before it was all gone ! Love your little bluebird--looks like a side view of "The Mad Bluebird".
Bye for now DanaMo !
Hi Shirley, hope Susan is feeling better today ! I think a lot of folks here are suffering with sinus headaches and arthritic pains as the rain continues to fall. Hour after hour after hour......
Good morning all:)
Today's nest weather- Partly sunny. Areas of fog in the morning. A chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some thunderstorms may be severe. Highs in the lower 80s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 30 percent.
It's very nice outside here this morning, already 57° and sunny.
Thanks, Megan ! I'd love to see some of that sunshine !
Out of the corner of my eye I was watching the cam and saw a streak of orange, think it was a Baltimore oriole that just flew up near the bottom right of the nest.
Also, in the past week, we have seen an osprey fly over our yard twice.
Yesterday I finally saw my phoebes, and indigo bunting. Now all that is missing in my yard are the catbirds and brown thrasher.
I'm going into lurk mode as I mosey on over to e-mail and newspapers. HAGD all !
Going into LM now. Have a great day everyone!
Good morning one and all got to got to sleep in this am Put in for a day off today to go to Busch Gardens Missed the am visit.
Lori so sorry I changed my avatar last night to the visit Jordyn and I did the other day seeing Winter the Dolphin.
And the wash machine story was funny and has happened to me also besides others like putting the coffee pot on and forgetting to put the water in it one time and other times forgetting to put the coffee in it-- Woke up to hot water MMM Oh and the big one I use to do is when making tea in my coffee pots is forgetting to empty the coffee grinds from the basket End up having Tea hazelnut coffeee YUK that was not good My mother one time put the carton of milk on the burner and the coffee pot in the refrigerator I say you should always be able to laugh at your self when you do silly things
Heres to hoping everyone have a good day and Mema Jo oh going to the White House that sound so awesome make sure we get to see some pictures
JudyE, coming out of LM briefly, to say, "Have a wonderful day at Busch Gardens !" One of my favorite destinations when kids came to visit during my Tarpon Springs years.
What a funny list of household gaffes you've put together. Recently my tub of margarine went missing. None for my morning oatmeal and no idea where it went. Last used on a baked potato the night before. I cook oatmeal in the microwave and when I opened the door, you guessed it, there sat the oleo !
Margy's washing machine cleaning cycle I've not used, but I have loaded the washer, put in the detergent, run the water....Going back later to find nothing had happened because I failed to put the lid down. :o(
Good morning, everyone.
Wishing a lovely day for all.
Lori, yes twas' I who received the last PSF. I'm going to need many more before, just one did nothin' for this mug of mine. Oh, well...
"For beauty I'd not take a prize, there are many more beautiful far. But, my face, I don't mind it, for I am behind it. The people in front get the jar !"
I feel a theme coming on!
THEME: My best "Margy" moment . . .
Great idea, Lori ! Okay, guys n' gals, time to fess up. What is your best or most recent "Margy Moment" ? ☺
Back to LM, while I read the Columbus Dispatch.
Good morning everyone. I just wanted to get on here before the split. No wax for me. lol
ARGH Captured by Blogger Cop this morning. I am going out to mow BEFORE the rain starts again. Will read late now. Make it a good day. Its gonna be biscuits and gravy here when I get my work done as I am doing this before food just to beat this stupid weather.
Good morning everyone. Hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday.
TEAM LIBERTY!!!
I had such a great weekend but it is so good to be back home. My bed was heavenly last night.
