«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 468 Newer› Newest»You have my Momster Faith and pounds of prayers, Paula, am so very sorry to hear of this
(( hugs )) for you and Nugz ♥
i was reading the blog. Still have some catching up to do. Looks like she will not stay long.
Poof!
Over to the Y branch on the right out of sight!
Uh Oh! Need to go back and read!
Going to read back on previous thread just to see what I missed.
Headed to TV 9 & 10:00
BBILW
The Mother's Day avatars are wonderful...not sure I can come up with one of those
xox back in a few, going to see about ISS
that was quick in and out, Belle...
Paula - My prayers for Nugz will be heard I'm sure. And lots of
(((hugs)) for you.
Paula, I am so sorry about Nugz. Sending heartfelt wishes for a successful surgery and a complete recovery.
@DanaMo----love what???
Paula, I will keep Nugz in my prayers and onMonday will light a candle for him that he be clear of cancer...
Eagle with another stick. Truder this time.
It is early but again, I am tired and need to outrun the sandperson to get to the bed.
The night light is set to turn on automatically at 11:00pm. Andy will set our security system when she comes in later.
Restful sleep for all.
Oh, Paula, finally caught up reading the blog. I am so sorry about Nugz. I remember a few days ago you mentioned taking him to the vet. I wondered at the time. You certainly have our love, our faith, our prayers. ((Hugs))
Off to the right
Truder Poofed!
Thank you all for your prayers! It's been a long week, and I have been trying to decide what to do. The Vet couldn't believe it....
Reflection of the clouds on the water at the Loon Cam, is very soothing to behold
Newborn Infant Moon is out there smiling for us, folks....
due West
ISS was a good flyoever, but more darkness would have made it very spectacular
Paula...Nugz and Boo...brothers?
I am sorry I do not remember if so
Thanks Margy, gonna check out the loons.
Yes, They were brothers.
thanks back, Paula...
darkness approaching fast there now, so the reflection is not as brilliant as five minutes ago
Paula It will be difficult for you from now till Monday, but it does not have to be Boo's story. Keep your thinking clear and stay with all the prayers the faith and the hope...(((((((HUGS ))))))) to you and Nugz.
Paula, prayers most definitely for Nugz and you.....I go with the 20% sounding positive!
How old is Nugz?
DanaWV---Ocracoke is where I go. It is off the southern coast of Cape Hatteras---40 mins. by ferry, or 2 hrs. off the mainland at to the SE. If I get a beach house, it will be in the Hatteras area...and then i can hop over to Ocracoke whenever I want. Too expensive for my pocketbook to buyy there, for sure! And insurance would be AWFUL---if available at all. Island has been under threat of disappearing in a hurricane for at least 40 years.
I don't think that Christine is too near the coast, maybe in around Charlotte someplace.
You're right, Lynn...she is further inland.
I am hoping for the 20% too! Nugz is 9 1/2. He was always the "healthy" one.
Oh-oh....Lauren is showing that she is only 16 on Idol....already crying because she's in the bottom two.
Sunlight on the loon cam is pretty...and the water is too.
Are they 1 or 2 hours behind us? I can't remember.
Oh, saw a baby robin's head poking out of the nest last night...beak open, looking for food :)
Paula, Nugz is older than I thought he was.....it is very strange that both boys would be diagnosed with the same thing.....were they rescues or do you have contact with the breeder? If so, you should probably let her/him know. DOubt they would still be breeding with the same parents, but breeding offspring could make it significant. Just a thought.
MN is one hour behind us...CDT.
egg is uncovered, loon calling
How about this:
Belle and Hidey, April 7, 2009
entitled: Feeding, or a Kiss ♥
so that's my Mother's Day avatar ♥
Cute, Margy! But would still like to see a pic of your sweet Mama!!
Awww, great choice Margy.
Lynn, I have lost contact with the breeder....I have let people know who have the siblings.
Shoot, missed the loon calling. Was down in the basement.
Oh, there it is!
Have a few, might see if I can get one scanned...
Yours is dear, Lynn
I think I shall go see what I missed out on earlier..
Oh, those Loon Calls !
I am doing laundry...and will try and catch up on an episode or two online of a show I've missed.
OMG A Boat !! :(
Cool, boat in the distance.
CDT. got it, thanks Lynn
Duh, now it shows that next to the timers!
This is what Lynne2 posted last night when the Dad Loon was out calling after the egg was laid:
"it's dad calling out "my egg is here, my egg is here"
so cute ! And Lolly was thinking the same thing !
I heard one shake and is that one coming now.
one of them should be lumbering up to the nest soon
I mean one of the Loons, not Lolly or Lynne ! ☺
Bless you and Nugz, Paula. I am hoping for the best. I am so sorry that you are having to go through this again.
Christine lives in Huntersville, a suburb of Charlotte. Definitely not on the coast.
I have had a day. I got home and was ready to sit down and have a quiet supper when I realized I had left my purse in Culpeper. Thank goodness, I was sure I had left it there and that it was in a secure place. Got in my car and went back and got it. Had to bang on the schoolhouse door for awhile before a custodian came and let me in.
But, since I will not be going back until Monday, and all of my insurance cards, etc., are there, not to mention many other necessary things, I had no choice.
Whoo, glad it was where you knew it was and you could get it Shirley...
no fun to use up precious gas $$ though :(
three little blobs in the water...sometimes one stands up and opens its wings, figure at least two of them are loons
I'm here, just lumbering up to the nest.....LOL!
Good evening everyone!
Paula, I just don't know what to say about Nugz. So not fair, but you know my prayers are going for the 20%!!
I wasn't going to put a picture of my mother on my avatar. But I think I will try to find one from "better" times to post. I'll have to take a picture of a picture since I don't have a scanner!
Watched AI, now watching Greys and then PP.
Also, I am sitting here by the nest after lumbering up!
Bear Report
Lumbering is what I do best these days! OH, and I have been VERY good at not eating JUNK today!
Okay, more about Johnny. On the day of the drug bust, Johnny was full of legal advice. He sounded very convincing.
Johnny confided to me that he'd learned his facts about the law from his father.
It seems that his dad was accused of being drunk in public, but that Dad was able to get out of the charges because he was actually on private property when he was drunk.
Wonder what else Dad has taught the kid?
Evening pals.....
Finally finished posting birds, critters, flowers, etc to my FB page. Started earlier today, got pulled away, but finishied this evening. The whole blog thing will probably have to wait.
In the meantime:
This is the link to the Birds & Critters that has ROSE-BREASTED GROSEBEAKS, Lynne FB Our Backyard Birds & Critters
This is the link to flowers and such in our yard: Our Back Yard Flowers and other Things
I think this is a public link
My bird guru guy, Keith of the Baltimore Bird Club ( I swear he has a true gift and locating birds...I've been on 2 walks with him and his group and he just KILLS me with his skills at finding birds!) emailed me today and told me that he has found the Blue Grosbeaks nesting across the street from me! There is a huge old field over there (where the old house is that I took pics of) and I can't believe they have been there all along, and just picked THIS spring to come to my yard!
Paula - I am so sorry to hear about Nugz and what you're going through right now. Please know I am praying for you and Nugz and hope that Nugz is in that 20 percentile.
Lots of (((HUGS))) Paula
Linda, if you read way back.....we are being accused of "HOGGING" birds! LOL!!! Your photos are AWESOME! Just an FYI...the bird you have labeled as a Red Headed Wookpecker is really a Red BELLIED woodpecker! There ARE Redheaded Woodpeckers, but they look different. The Red Bellies do have a rust spot on there very low abdomen that isn't noticeable unless you happen to see them from underneath hanging from a feeder.
I hope I get a Rosebreasted Grosbeak this year too! Am I being greedy?
the pictures, both sets, are spectacular Linda !!!
For someone not on facebook, this is a real treat that you have shared them this way !
I think the rose-breasted grosbeak is so stunning....I hope to see one again out in the wild someday
Thanks, Lynne - I'll change it right away, so people don't think I'm STUPID!!
oh, and your Pileated pictures are really great!!!
Parent Loon just lumbered up to the nest and is roosting, night light is on
That was neat to watch !
The loon really does plop on the egg! Incubates it almost under the tail.
Watching a show...bbl
But I like your and Lynne's lumbering up too, Lolly !
I love the Mother's Day avatars, let me say that again !
Lori commented earlier in the day, that we should really try to push the RED ON FRIDAY FOR THE MILITARY.... (especially after the events of the last week) -
so, go through those closets, see if you can find a little something or other....
A show of appreciation for all the efforts of our fine Military Folks
Loons don't have much grace out of the water!
I agree Margy, RED FRIDAY!!!!
The other red-headeds...have had a time with keeping their nesting spots...largely in part to OTHER woodpeckers moving in on their territory, and the loss of habitat...but yours is beautiful nonetheless, Linda !
That is one of the most spectacular pictures of a Red-Bellied I have ever seen! BRAVO !
oh, I just read that the RHWs are a near threatened species....
I need to lumber into the shower and get ready for bed....
Did you know that this week is National Teacher Appreciation Week???
Thanks to all, but especially our Momster teachers!!!!
need to try to catch up on some sleep, can tell my work performance is not quite up to par...
so, want to close out with
Prayers for Shirley on Friday,
for Nugz and Paula in the coming days, and for all our many needs of the heart, mind, soul, and body
Congratulations to Judie on a good report from the doctor today
and One more round of Happy Birthday Wishes for Bob Q ☺
and thanks to all for your precious gifts of friendship and fellowship
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Thanks, Margy! It is my way of cutting out having to upload pics to FB and the blog.
I will get to the blog soon to add pictures!
We have so many rose-breasted grossbeaks. And they love to hang out at our feeders. We love it!
Night Margy!
Well my visit was short tonight!! Fighting another headache......that I hope doesn't turn into a migraine. It's been a rough couple months for those...
Keeping Shirley and Paula in my prayers and well as all my eagle freinds here.
I so appreciate the warmth and friendship of each and every one of you.
Praying God keeps us all in his care and that you all are richly blessed!
Good Night! ♥♥♥
Good night. Linda. Rest well. I hope your headache goes away.
Oh.....and.....
Lori - Would be happy to send some of our birds your way. We're not stingy!! We really have been blessed with lots of birds here.
Lolly, KayIM and all of you who commented on my pics, THANKS!!
They are all taken in our yard, which is so awesome!
Thanks, Shirley.....you're in my special prayers!
Home from camera club. Prayers for both Paula and Nugz
I'm not sending LORI any birds until she 'fesses up about the Turkey Vulture nest........
Heading to bed, hope you head doesn't go all cattywampus on you Linda!
Good night and prayers for all....especially Shirley, and Paula and Nugz.
oh and Shirley, I think "Johnny" would make a fine character in that book of short stories from a teacher that you can work on once you retire!
"Johnny" is a big, loveable character. He is always the first one out the door at lunchtime and often the last one in class.
He actually does very well when we have discussions. As I said before, he is very convincing. Unfortunately, he cannot read well. But if he can fix cars, he may do just fine.
. . . last one into class.
Shirley, a Johnnie-come-lately, huh??
What time are you scheduled for tomorrow?? Asked once, but don't think you saw it---needle biopsy or incision? Will be praying for and thinking of you.....(((HUGS)))
Please tell Kat to post something to us as soon as possible, okay? Love you, gal!
Goodnight Margy and Linda and Lynne. Hope everyone sleeps well and that your h/a stays a regular one, Linda, and not a migraine.
Early morning outing for me....retiree breakfast. Will have to leave Liesl alone for the first time. Hoping that goes well!!!
My mother in 1944.
One o'clock tomorrow, Lynn. Needle biopsy. Kathryn will go with me. She is going to work for awhile and then come back.
I have some pictures of my mother from her college days in the 1920s, but I can't get to them right now without disturbing Flash in his crate.
Wow, something large just flew by the loon cam light. I guess some kind of moth. Strange image.
Now, I will tell you about "Charlie." He needed to take a make-up quiz. Bugged the daylights out of me until I finally let him take it today--open book quiz. He answered about 6 questions and then gave up and asked to be allowed to wait until later. I said okay.
Then I noticed Charlie hanging around my desk. He was very interested in something, and I told him to leave the things there alone. I noticed he was writing something, then he sat down and said he had changed his mind and wanted to finish the quiz.
Hmmm . . .
I went over and sat down at my desk to see if I could find what in the heck Charlie was so interested in, and that is when I spotted the answer key to the quiz.
I did Charlie a big favor. I told him that he would be taking a different version of the quiz. Really should have told him that he had just lost his chance.
Love the pic of your Mom, Shirley. Yep---you resemble her!
Okay, 1PM---on my knees!
Goodnight, dear friends. Prayers for all...and especially for Shirley, Nugz and Paula tonight.
It's almost midnight! Got one "Spring" set of pics on Blog. Will put others on too.
Pics I put in E_M album had the wrong date, so I replaced them. Sorry, Jo--they are out of time order now :-(
Since many must be hitting the hay, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Will be thinking about you tomorrow, Shirley. Had one of those---you get a "feel nothing" shot first!
Before I head for bed, I want to wish BOB QUINN, our favorite feather-wearing photographer,
♫♪♫♪ A HAPPY BIRTHDAY♫♪♫♪ His sense of direction sucks, but we love him anyway!
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Dear Paula, just read back far enough to hear of dog illness. So sorry, lots of prayers & hope Nugz will be OK! ☺ ♥
Loons are calling.
Some kind of critter is near the nest. Looks like papa loon is nearby, too.
I think it was a rat or something. I hope mama has chased it away for good.
TV was ok - I enjoyed 2 shows
I had sent Bob Quinn a ecard and
hope he had a great day. I hope he is out celebrating and that we will
hear from him in the near future.
I have prayers for Nugz & Paula
and for Shirley to have good results from her test... ♥ ♥
Didn't get a "feel nothing" shot last time, Loretta. Not fun.
The critter crawled right up in the nest and mama loon looked at it and made a call and it ran off.
Rat thing is back!!
QUESTION: Lacey and Lilly
They are in the stall - do you
see SNOW inside the stall and like
on Lacey's back????????
I can't find my link to that site, Jo.
I would think that sharp loon beak could do damage to a rat. But I'll also bet a rat would like to eat a loon egg.
Lacey and Lilly
Fell asleep, Loons woke me up. Heading to the shower and bed. Going to head out early tomorrow to mow. In the afternoon I have a eye appointment for yearly check up. Get new glasses this year. Yea!
Yuk! Just saw the rat or whatever it was on the Loon nest. This is surely not good!
Prayers for Shirley and Paula's Nugz.
Nite all, sweet dreams!
I hope tomorrow that on Larry's Blog he'll explain what was going on. How can a rat get out to the
Loon platform - can they swim?
Thanks for the link, Jo. I see what you mean. The Twitter message or whatever it was mentioned driving rain.
I don't know where that farm is.
Tried to research whether or not rats swim. Confusing messages. Would have to do more research, but I'll bet they can find a way to get to something they are interested in. I know they are smart.
Horses are up in NH I guess the rain turned to snow but what a shame it can get into the stable area.
Well Shirley it sure looked like a
rat! And his target will be the
egg.
I am going to call it a good day
I had family here for dinner & enjoyed their company.
I'll thinking of you Shirley tomorrow at 1pm! ((hugs))
GOOD NIGHT AND PRAYERS FOR ALL
HUGS FOR ALL ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I agree, Jo. The rat would be after the egg, and rats can be mean, tough characters. I think that is why papa loon was nearby.
I do wonder how so much snow got into the stall, and especially on the horse.
Good night, Jo.
I think that the most recent calling of the loons was mama calling papa to come help with the rat problem. And then I saw her make a call at the rat.
We can hope that the two of them can take care of a rat, but I don't know.
There is mention of the rat and the mama loon chasing it away on the loon cam's Facebook page.
It is late, and I promised to take Hunter to school tomorrow. I am going to head upstairs.
I really appreciate all of the kind words and prayers.
Just noticed that someone on FB mentioned that animal at the loon nest might be a muskrat. That could be, and they do swim.
Dropping in to say goodnight.
Paula, you and Nugz are DEFINITELY in my prayers! Can't believe you're having to go through this again! Hoping and praying that Nugz is in the 20 percentile group!
Shirley, will be praying and thinking of you tomorrow! Hope the biopsy goes well, and you have a good result!
Haven't had time to read all of the blog. Hoping that GG is feeling better! Prayers for her!
I'm really brain weary tonight. Have been typing up English notes for my friend who didn't make it to class last night.
Bet that Judie has set the night light. I'm checking to be sure the porch light is lit. Enabling both security systems. Prayers for all, and for every creature. Sleep well, and I will talk to you in the morning. God bless, and goodnight!
Love all of you! :o]
Good Morning Eagle Lovers!
So much going on here!
SHIRLEY - We're all with you! Tell your doctor that lots of prayers have been said for him/her, too!
26 Days until your Freedom! :)
PAULA - So very sorry about Nugz. It's so hard when our animals hurt. I think you've had enough this year.
GREAT MOM Avatars everyone! What a great idea! Judie reincarnated you are too much. :)
MARGY, your Hidey & Belle is my fave. Of course Hidey was my first eaglet so he's special to me.
Running late but wanted you to know I'm thinking of you all.
BIG HUG SHIRLEY & PAULA!
Looking for a better picture of my Mom by herself, but it'll have to wait until I get home.
JO - thanks for posting the Lilly and Lacey horse link again. Having always been addicted to horses I stayed away from it, but I'm horseless now, so I've decided it's okay - but don't let me buy a horse!
GLO - I hope you won your photo competition last night! How did you do?
ALREADY BRIGHT AT THE NEST.
They had a 2 hr visit last night - so hopefully Belle & Truder won't forget the Early Birders this morning!
WOW - everyone is awake.
Lilly and Lacey just got up and are snacking on the remnants of their hay. Lilly is having a little milk shake.
Good morning Lori. Muddy labs in the house!
Good Morning Early Birders -
KAY IM, DANA-MO, JUDY E, MARGY, LYNNE and Lurkers.
Welcome to Friday (wooooo-whoooo) at the Sunrise Sycamore Cyber Cafe where we pretend we're all drinking coffee & tea together at the kitchen table while waiting for our Eagle friends to arrive at the Sycamore Palace. Imagination is a wonderful thing. :)
Truder arrived while I was checking email. Lets turn on the color...
Yes, I love imagination. I am 25 again, and down to my 25 year old weight! Imagination is grand.
I'm heading to the nest in the morning. I hope that don't arrive this early tomorrow. I was hoping that I would be leaving my house around 6 to catch them flying around...
ooooh...that was a short visit! :(
Truder is still in the nest, or he's back
Geez it was! Morning Dana.
I would plan on being there at 5:45.
Today's nest weather-Partly sunny. A chance of showers with a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 60s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent.
Morning all:) have a great Friday!
Gotta run outside to cut flowers-bbl
Hello Megan!
I don't know if my buddy is going to be willing to get up that early. We would have to leave here around 5. I could do it, I don't know if she could.
Truder flew out to the right
Sorry Megan I see I forgot your name on the regular salture of early birders. My apologies.
Maybe he will come back when the color comes on. He thinks it makes him look better1 LOL!
What salture is I don't know - shoulda been SALUTE!
Checking the hourly forecast. Today is our Easter Egg hunt at the park. We walk down and have lunch and play, then walk back. I hope that forecasted rain holds off until 3:00.
Morning Megan!
How long would you guys say T was here?
Geez, Belle gave a 2 hour + appearance last night.
Morning Dana and Lori:)
Really gotta walk outside now- hope the eagles will be back.
Nightlight just went off-
Well I need to go. Have a great day. I need to get to my classroom early and try to get organized. Of course that is dependent on getting my daughter out the door with me.
DUH, just realized my cam has been stuck at 14:45 for the past half hour!
Have a great day Dana!
They are all up and romping at WCV.
Wish I had their motivation to get up and wingercize like they do.
Good RED Friday Morning Eagle Pals
I have already missed being here with DanaMo and Megan, and wow, what a lot of comments since I hit the pillows!
And More Mother's Day Avatars: GREAT!
Best wishes for a good day, everyone !
Oh excuse my manners, see I missed being here with Truder also
:)
calling all Kays, calling all Kays...
Shirley
I always enjoy your student tales...
Best wishes all day today...will be looking for your after-event posts
and as Lynn mentioned: this week is
National Teacher Appreciation Week
That goes for many of our Momsters, including, Shirley, Judie, Candy, Lolly, DanaMo....
and some others I am sorry I cannot scroll back in my memory for right now
We Love What You Do, Teachers ♥
Good luck to little Liesl on her first stay-at-home-along morning
that would be stay at home ALONE morning
Have a wonderful day wearing your RED Margy!
I checked on the Red-Shouldered Hawk's nest at Swinging Bridge, yesterday, Mom was roosting, did not see any baby action, a year ago there were three chicks by now
Also found about a dozen more Jacks-in-the-Pulpit.
Don't like what I read about the critter at the Loon nest :(
Hope the Loons prevail...we did not have live hatches there last year :(
Thanks Lori!
And Thanks for your suggestion about ramping up the RED Rah-Rah-Rah...
Prayers for our military, and all their families
and all Veterans !
Just to repeat,
my avatar is Belle and Hidey from April 7, 2009
"Feeding or a Kiss ♥ "
I know I have more pictures saved to the albums, but not sure I can get them on here big enough, will work on that later on
guess I better hit the trail, worktime looms, not even sure what time I get off duty tonight, maybe 4, 5 or 8 :(
Prayers for all our many needs today.
See you later on...
xoxox ♥
GOOD MORNING...
MARGY, perhaps you should look for a small place to buy or rent near Swingingless Bridge. You would be able to stay there on your days off. Oh, what joy that would be for you!:) Think LOTTERY;)
SHIRLEY, dear lady, prayed for you last night and this morning for everything to be OK. You get checked often enough that anything they discover will have been caught in time. You have a LOT of prayers going with you today♥
PAULA, my heart breaks for you and NUGZ...prayers that this illness can be contained♥♥
I love to hear about Jo and her family getting together so often. She is benefiting from raising a wonderful family. We have met most of Jo's children and some of her grandchildren and they are all just as sweet as she is!
I get to be with my family this evening...really, really need them
today!
Good Morning everyone!
I checked the FB at MN Loons and it seems the creature last night is a muskrat.
Muskrat
LORI, DO NOT BUY A HORSE!!!! Just adopt one instead! LOL!
water at loon nest is so calm...you can see the reflection of the clouds in it and it's so cool looking!
Some ripples on the water at the loon cam now.
Oh, excuse me. Good morning. Hello, Lynne.
Hi Shirley....Isn't "Charlie" precious? LOL!
Well, here is a picture of mother and my dad on their wedding day, Apil 8, 1961. As you can see, I got my mother's chubby cheeks, and my dad's everything else, including the black eyelashes and the S**T eatin' grin (so I've been told).
For those who don't know, my mother and I are estranged. But, I try to look at it like this....if everything hadn't happened in my life exactly the way it did, I wouldn't be the person I am now. And while far from perfect, I didn't turn out too bad, nor would I be here at all if not for her!
Well, LYNNE, I for one am very happy that you are exactly the Lynne you are . . . the Lynne we all know and love! ♥
well thanks Lori! Now, about that vulture nest.........
I have to check my abandoned stable (term used very loosely as I would not put a horse in it). Turkey Vulture flew out of it last weekend when the chain saw ripped into action near there. I've never seen one in there, ever, but I haven't wanted to check it out for fear there may be eggs - and she won't come back. It's a perfect TV nesting habitat.
Cleaned up the plates at WCV with only one eaglet hissing. Other two were sleeping. Nice to know they're eating well.
Good morning to everyone.
Should have prepared a cheat sheet.
Shirley, I will be thinking of you and keeping you safe in my heart. Several of us know first hand the experience so you may feel as if your hand is being held by us.
Also see a resemblance to you mom, Shirley. Am also glad you were able to retrieve your purse -- you don't need that stress right now.
Wanda, so glad you and the Capt. will have family night tonight. Please give GG an extra hug, please.
I also think Margy should find a place at the Swingingless Bridge -- someplace where the bowlers can't find her. Have red on this morning.
Margy, have a good, quiet day at work.
Megan, sure hope the flowers are recovered from all the rain.
I see we have new words for our dictionary -- salture and home along -- perhaps when one is home along one may enjoy some salture crackers with a G&T.
Linda, hope you didn't end up with a migraine. Will check out your pictures in a few.
Jo, haven't seen, maybe missed, updates on your Alexis time. Glad family dinner was nice.
Need coffee. BBL
Shirely, hope all goes well for your today.
Oh wow...that would be a perfect nesting spot! Maybe she was just checking it out and hadn't laid any eggs yet.
LOL Judie. I salture you. :)
Hi again,
Back from taking Hunter to school. I did not sleep much last night, so I may doze off this morning.
I checked the sub caller thingy and see that they got me a different sub from last time. Last time, I could not find any notes, not even the copy of my lesson plan.
I always look for the sub's comments. Can't imagine what happened before.
It does feel like someone is here with me this morning--lots of someones, really. It is a good feeling.
It does feel like someone is here with me this morning--lots of someones, really. It is a good feeling.
Good morning everyone. Off to the DRs in spirit with Shirley. Prayers for Paula and Nugz. Mothers Day weekend wishes for all, those who have Mom avatars and those who don't. I'll join the feathered friends who choose to focus on that beautiful bird MaMa in our sycamore tree. I have a few female nurturers in my childhood thank the good Lord but no pictures to share.
Sunny today so much of it will be back out doors for me.
Good morning one and all Healing thought coming your way Shirley at appt today This was just on facebook
Wildlife Center of Virginia
Thanks so much, WCV supporters. We were contacted via email last night from the Chase Community Giving program. They didn't provide specifics about when we'd receive the $25K, but it looks like you guys did it! Thanks to everyone who voted, and special thanks to some of our big "cheerleaders" out there who worked to get out the vote.
·
Had to leave park early today storms rolling in
BBL gonna go play tea party with Jordyn
Good Morning Girls. You now have me on a grosbeak hunt. I don't think I've ever seen them at my house but I'm sure looking now. What beautiful birds.
Paula, so sorry to hear Nugz is I'll and hope you get good news soon.
Margy, thanks for telling us about the loon cam. I've been watching and enjoying. I just love their call... Canclose my eyes and imagine myself right there!
Thrilled to see NBG eaglets thriving at their new home.
Really thrilledalso that the bears are all track. What a rollercoaster!
I know I've missed some stuff here but just want to say, "salture" to all. Haha
Judy, what exciting news for WCV. Thanks for that info!
Good morning!!☺ How is everyone this beautiful day? Shirley, thinking of you. I am glad you feel our presence with you today ((Hugs)))
I am about to head out to mow. Want to get started early. Eye doc appointment early afternoon. Oh, how I hate having my eyes dilated.
I am sooo disappointed this morning. Do not know what to believe on this blog...have been led astray!
Just when I am about to get up early for coffee with the SSCC, I find out it is all imaginary!! What's a person to believe on this blog?
Man, my typing is dreadful today, but think you can decipher my message above.
Good 'Red Friday' Morning All!
Last night I went to bed with Lacey and Lilly's snow stall and with 'muskRAT' on the Loon platform that I am waking and
quickly checking out those cams to see All is Well! Thanks to the
SSCC commentary this morning! ♥
Yesterday I lost one page of past
emails that I wanted to keep <:(
Stoopid hotmail and I blame it on my mouse's cursor It won't move as fast as I want it to move!
I'll return later & Shirley
You got it right - We are there with you!
Hi Susan! glad you stopped in...how is your Mother in Law doing?
OK I have another NEW bird at the feeder. Skittish, can't get a picture....going to have to look some things up, MTBR.
I have about 10 things to do on my list today and I am developing a really bad pain in my back, right in the middle and to the left. SO FREAKIN ANNOYING! I took Aleve early, it got worse, I took a Tramadol about an hour ago and it's not helping. UGH.
Shirley, what time is your appointment today? ((((HUGS))).
Hello WVsUSAan! I am so happy that you are 'thrilledalso' That is the best feeling! Once again I will tell you and all the others that I am enjoying your Mom pics.
I really miss my mom and grandma too.
Hi Jo! No need to worry about the horse having snow on it...they are pretty well insulated! And I have never met a horse yet that that wouldn't rather be outside in ANY weather than be cooped up in a stall!
I just love watching that baby frolic around!
oh how I miss my grandparents too....what I wouldn't give to still have them! My mom's parents, that it...only met my paternal grandparents just after I was born. They died within 6 months of each other before I was even a year old.
Lynne2, I just read the blog from 8pm where I left off to current. In case Shirley isn't on right now, her biopsy is at 1pm.
Shirley, so many prayers are with you, hope that knowledge has a calming effect !
Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day! SO a big momster SALTURE to all the military spouses we have in our extended families!
Thanks Kay! And good morning!
Apologies to my beloved Early Bird buds at SSCC. I just couldn't manage the early up this morning. Don't know why. Would wake up, think "I should get up" and then settle back down. I actually hate that kind of morning because when I eventually do surface I'm in a fog for too long. Realizing I was up too late I turned on the Today Show for news and watched them celebrate Mother's Day.
LOL, Margy, putting out the call for all Kay's ? Which reminds me, where is Grannie Kay these days ?
Am loving all the Mother avatars !
Paula, I'm so sorry to hear about Nugz and the ordeal you're both going through. My prayers are with you both.
Must get some things done. I expect the kids to drop Malcolm off at 3 this afternoon. There won't be any sleeping in tomorrow or Sunday with him in the house ! This will be his first time away from them at night, but I think he's comfortable enough here to make it an okay thing.
Thanks Lynne for the horse and snow
information. I just felt so cold for them. I don't know the layout
of the stable but I didn't expect to see snow covering everything.
OK, the new bird is a White Crowned Sparrow! It must be migrating because according to the map he is a winter visitor to these parts and south of here. Not uncommon, but I've never seen one! Very impressive head!
White Crowned Sparrow
Well, I have just had a good laugh! Laurel has posted my picture as her profile on fb. Her friends are making comments. One boy in ther class said he always had a crush on me. That is just a hoot! Apparently he wrote in her yearbook.."to the girl with the foxy mom!" Well, girls, I want you to know someone thought of me as foxy. Of course, it was an elementary age kid.
Okay, I am off to set the world on fire....well, really ready to go mow.
Have a great day! Thinking of Shirley and praying while I mow.☺
How I love all the mom pics. JudyE, your momma is a hot, hot, hottie.
MIL is doing just ok. G had to stay w her last nite. Experiencing side effects of chemo. Doc visit today so will be anxious to hear if they can see if treatments are getting good results.
Thanks to all Teachers ( :
ty Hedgie for letting us know
about National Teacher Week.
Praying for 20% for Nugz &
Paula ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ Angels
to Protect Nugz. HUG HUGS
Just a quick Hello!!
Got a few fox pic sets on Blog this AM. Put 2 videos on at end, but Blogger is making TOO many spaces between stuff--tried to edit 3 times, but it is what it is!
Have trip to Merkle pics to put on this evening.
Later~~
Susan, extra prayers for your MIL to feel better and to find the chemo is working.
I am multi-tasking...doing my hair and cooking ribs for this evening. I do my ribs in oven bags and then Gene finishes them off on the grill with SWEET BABY RAY SPICY BBQ SAUCE. So good, sooo fattening! Only have them once in a while:)
Loretta, you know how much I love foxes...I will look at yours tonight while I'm relaxed and able to enjoy them. Thanks for posting them...love anything you post♥
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good Morning for an
early start to the
weekend, everyone.

Prayers for Susan's mom-in-law. I sympathize with anyone having che-MOTHER-apy. Went through it twice with GG...not a speck of it left anywhere in her body. 20 years for first cancer...10 years for the last one! She was such a trooper. Never complained or whined...she did throw up a lot. Told me not to worry, she said she looked worse than she felt:) I doubt that!
Morning, Jim...your a little late for morning here on the East coast. Beautiful day here, 65° right now.
Good afternoon, one and all.
Love all the new Mom avatars. Lynne, glad you did it! Your perspective is very insightful. I see you in both of your folks.
Wanda---hope everything is okay with you....oh, and don;t worry about the ribs! They aren't nearly ad fattening as a lot of other things are!!!
Shirley, I am SO glad that you feel our love around you. Prayers going up big time.
sUSAn, sorry that Pam is suffering with the side effects of the chemo....I was so lucky. Nausea--a little. Fatigue---a LOT. But that was about it (except for hair loss!!!) Hope she feels better soon. Like I mentioned before, tell her to SLEEP as much as she wants to!
