LYNN 2 is the one that made it up in that order I had post a video on FB and had put all the names there but not in that order she is the one that put in name order I think its cute tooooo
Keep your eyes peeled today, gals. According to a woman on OC we missed a spectacular Snowy Egret visit to the nest yesterday. Stange, but no one else saw it and there are no pics to document it ?????
Friday when Malcolm and I picked Seth up after school, the students were filing out of the stadium. They'd been watching the annual Junior vs. Senior Girls Football Game. I asked who won and what the score was. He had no idea , but was all excited over seeing a Blue Heron swoop down over the field toward the river that runs right by it. I live a block off that river, 2 miles north of the H.S.. Haven't had any unusual bird sightings, but did see three deer bounding across my front yard yesterday.
I like Sundays I get time and a half I was grandfather in on it they changed the rules in 1990 right after I was hired so I don't mind working on Sun Until this past months others only got a dollar prem pay for Sun and now they took that away alsoGETTING CHEAP I SAY
PA LINDA must be sneaking around my garden. Her avatar always changes to the next clematis to bloom for me - except hers appear 2 days before mine open! Go figure. I forget the name of the pink one up now, but it's a beauty and going crazy this year.
Yes, I ran Norton and they found 27 cookies to get rid of. Mahlware found nothing malicious. Decided to defragment, but was "told" it wasn't necessary at this time. So far, so good today. I'm going to delete cookies every day now !
LYNNE, so happy to hear that Dr Baker is on her way to recovery and they found the problem. Cat Scratch Fever was the first thing I thought of, you too I'm sure, and they just found it? Makes you wonder.
Kay, sometimes those sites you give permission to will put whatever is it that is stronger than a cookie - so it remembers you. If it's cookie names you don't recognize you can delete them manually.
Good grief, I just got waxed yesterday--I'll pass it on if anyone wants it. Be sure you have Lanacane on hand for immediate application after waxing !!!
LOLLY's Wild Seed Farm sounds like a place I could spend the whole day wondering around in. Should we have the EM Second Annual Yearly Meeting there in 2012?
Two places I go to regularly are my main suspects. Sporcle.com and Snopes.com.. Can't think of any other possibilites. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks, Lori. I depended heavily on Stan for troubleshooting. After almost four years you'd thing I'd have figured all this out. :(
No ducks this morning although I saw a pair in the neighbors yard yesterday. Do you know they are still landing in the pool even with the solar cover on? I think that's just weird.
I'm at a loss when it comes to plant identification, too, Dana. I can't name most of the plants and trees around this condo community. Didn't buy or plant them and even if I had it's no guarantee I'd remember the names ! My own daughter wrote the book, "Wetland Plants, Biology and Ecology". Reckon I should have her go over the property with me and then record the findings with pics, etc. I feel so dumb when someone asks, "what's that plant?" !!!
Gosh, my heart breaks for the people in Mississippi and Louisiana. Can you imagine knowing your home and farm is going to be under 20+ feet of water? Thank heavens they've got some warning but that has got to be unbelievable.
Could have used that wax you got Kay, eyebrows need to be done! LOL
I guess as with all things you do learn by doing and when I pick plants I generally pick things I know or have had success with in my yard. My back yard is hot, hot, hot in the summer. Full sun all day. The front is shaded by the house most of the day.
Well I think I will enjoy the last of my coffee out on the deck, under the awning listening to the rain, with Boomer at my feet. Have a great day everyone!
You know...I wish there was a bell or something that would ring when the eagles land in the nest. Then I would feel so bad when I walk away. LOL! Maybe Steve could arrange that! LOL! Bye for now.
The Army Corps of Engineers seems to have a handle on keeping human life safe. Saw a report on Wildlife Rangers trying to keep track of where all the animals were going and how they were keeping safe. I sure hope the raccoon stranded on the tree top can swim well and makes it to land.
It's that time when I like to head for the newspapers if Belle and/or Truder aren't entertaining. I have to think there are some folks in LM who will come to the fore.
So, going into LM myself as I wish you all a gLORIous and blessed Sunday !
How about that - I come earlier then usual and for more then an hour no one has been tending the blog... scare me into thinking that the Blogger Cop is around
Good Morning - I 'll be off line for a few hours I will copy and paste... Could someone tell Mr Sun it's ol to come on out!
Morning all. Sky has lightened here, and there is hope for a bit of sun before afternoon.....to be followed by storms! Never went into the 40's last night here, Lori! Only down to 60°! Aha---and there's the SUN!
I don't know plants/flowers well at all, Kay! Gee---maybe I could get a copy of your daughter's book---and have it autographed! That is something that will surely interest Margy!
I scared a turkey hen this morning when I went out to get the papers....but instead of running away, she flew! Unusual!
Lori, are you and Lou taking the show on the road, so to speak??? Or are you covering something special?
I have a very hard time grasping how the government gets away with these intentional floodings......I certainly hope that they are re-compensing the residents and business people IN FULL and for years to come for their losses. Some of these people are losing family farms that have been in operation for generations, and beautiful old antebellum homes......just unfathomable to me. :(
Morning LYNN! I forgot to comment the other day about your encourter with the pileated WP. That must have scared the doo-doo out of you!!! They're sooo big, and you were only expecting something little. It must have been hysterical. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.
Yes - doing remote from Disney down there. Was there working from Waldorf Astoria in January and that was fabulous!
Not sure what this means but Wildlife Center of Virginia posted this on FB:
Re-post from yesterday for those who are having trouble: WVEC is working on looking into the cam issues -- we're not sure what's going on, but they say this: to help resolve this, we ask people having problems to run a trace route and send the results back to us at webmaster@wvec.com. Here's what they need to run from a command prompt: tracert hwcdn.net . Google has some helpful step-by-step instructions.
I haven't looked at the cam in a couple of days---anyone having trouble?
Good morning everyone. Rainy and cold here again too. I feel so bad for folks losing their homes and land to intentional flooding. We solve one problem and create another. I guess its the best of 2 evils but its tremendous awful to hear about. That helpless feeling again. I hate that feeling.
I will be checking in each morning and most likely each evening this week unless we get a new thread. Will save Blog space for others to chat or Nest Happenings. Maybe we will get that auto thread set up come Monday but its not looking too good :-(. Have a nice day folks.
Lots of ugly mushrooms and toadstools sprouting everywhere. Funny watching the squirrels eat them! Just hoping that my new mulch is not infected with the dog-vomit fungus (sorry, that IS what it's called and exactly what it looks like!).
Time for me to shut down and finish getting ready to get out of here! See you this evening. Hope everyone has a good day!
Wanda Don't be invisible... I missed your Greetings for a Blessed Sunday! I had internet problems earlier, maybe you did too... We Need You Here !!! (( Hugs ♥ ) and I love that avatar of Dustin and Jayden... L♥ve to you, the Captain and GG
Good morning! Shhhhh! Playing hooky from church this morning. Jack and I both slept late this morning. Guess yesterday was exhausting! Going to get the trailer and start loading. Yea!
Morning crew.....I laughed out loud reading your posts.
My clematis is just about to stop blooming. It did very well this year. It is a deep pink, so pretty. Also, have another clematis that blooms later, but it is hardly noticeable, tiny and white.
51 here this morning...wow! Going to be a beautiful day! I will just rejoice and praise as I load the trailer.
I don't think kids know, but teachers do, so it won't be long.
The student who works in the office knows, if she was paying attention the other day when it got mentioned in her presence. But she may not share everything she knows. She has been among staff for awhile.
I have a reading bed, Judie I need a reading chair
Sharon.... Thank you for bringing us into the prayer early today, many daytime hours to send prayers skyward I am sorry to hear that dear T-Bird is having a tough time
I mentioned that I was woke up with storm this am well on the way to work and on the way home for lunch there is soooo much greenery all over the roads branches and leaves was some powerful winds I guess and off course Sunday the street sweeper doesn't work He'll have his job cut out for him tomorrow I guess I guess we had no unexpected company so far today no Pelicans or Flamingo ha ha I wonder what they are smokin LOL Ok gonna go heat up my coffee
Lori, just read back over some of our morning chatter. Big slap on the head, Duh !, I just got the FloBear, Madame B reference. LOL
Like many of you I'm astounded by the governmental decision in the Louisiana/Mississpi flooding. I can only guess that far more people would be displaced in urban areas if this were not done. Imagine the heavy weight for the decision makers as they realize they are wiping out years of blood, sweat and tears by those being flooded out. I couldn't sleep at night if it were me.
Lynn, I don't know how relevent Julie's book would be, but I do hope you'll meet her when you come to town ! Note, I said when, not if !
Paula, was the breakfast yummy ?
Sharon, Thelma is in my prayers. The prospect of moving is sometimes an emotional and daunting thing. :(
Checked in midday just in case our beauties decided to visit again, but back to LM now. BBL
probably because they are heartbroken, and speechless for a change, Judie...don't you think? I know I would be... speechless, not exactly in my vocabulary either
heading out, Take care everyone, Love to you, All xoxo ♥
Great, about Nugz, Paula... sounds like a fun week-end for you... I am trading some live plants for some empty hanging baskets this week with an old pal... the way to a man's heart is through live garden plants ?? food has not worked so far LOL
okay, really leaving now xoxo ☺ Carrying Thelma in my heart on my travels...
Hi all! Yeah Shirley, I see on the radar there is rain coming for many of us.
Well, I must say, my pain level by 2am was so bad that I almost had Steve take me to the ER. Today, it's better (and I've been back on the Aleve) but not great. Something is going on. It's not like I even strained myself doing anything yesterday.
Meanwhile, I've been hearing the Oriole for the last few day singing like crazy and I'm hoping we'll find a nest!!
Hello everybody. I am back home. They admitted T -Bird. I will call her psychiatrist in the morning and hopefully get her transferred to a facility he works at.
Working on another 4 hour course today. This one is much better than yesterday’s!!
Lori – LOL about the flower choices!! Glad I’m influencing what blooms next in your yard!!
A flamingo in the nest today? Hmmmm Are you just thinking of Flroida, Lori!!
Lolly - You sound like a kid - all excited to take your trip! That's great!!
Judie - Still loving that humor if yours!!
Sharon – Keeping Thelma in my prayers.
Paula – Glad you enjoyed the grandkids and Nugz continues to be doing okay!
Lynne – So sorry to hear you’re in so much pain. Could it be that you will need another day or so to get the levels of naproxen back to where they need to be before you see some relief? Do you have any pain killers that would help in the mean time? Praying for your pain to ease quickly ♥♥♥
Shirley – Beautiful Orchid!! I used to have lots of orchids in FL, but we gave a bunch to our neighbor when we moved north. Didn’t figure they’d do to well up in PA!
Oh, I always like to GO!!! Have not traveled since Fall when we did New England, east coast and WV. Jack did some work on the trailer and he wanted to check it out before we head to Colorado next month. That trip will be here before we know it!
Sharon, so sorry that Thelma is having a hard time. Keeping her in prayer!
Okay, Guys, I am sick to my stomach. Talked with my sister who has just been in Minnasota and now heading to Wis. She said it is in the news there about a bounty for Lily. (or Hope) I checked it out by googling "bounty Lily Bear. It came up with a facebook page. Jack and I both checked it out and as Jack said, it was full of Macho Man Bull S__t! There are so many STUPID, DUMB people in this world. Just turns my stomach.
Sharon, know that you will give Thelma all our love and hugs, and you know that Momster prayers are at work.
Rain held off until a powerful downpour around 2:30....wind was crazy....but once it stopped raining, that breeze made it feel SO much less humid. We had a good afternoon. Not the turnout I was hoping for, but everyone else said it was excellent for our first time out. Maybe I'm to sensitive since I'm the one who sent SO many invitations!
Gee, Margy, empty pots for flowers seems kind of uneven, unless those pots are something really special!!
Lynne, sorry you are hurting, but glad it's not as bad as last night.
Lolly, hope you have an excellent trip!
Judie, you are at it again----ROFL. Always trying to mix up our two traveling couples!! It's been so long since Wanda and Gene took an RV trip, I bet they are wishing they could!
Trailer is almost packed with food and clothing for the week. Take Annie to camp tomorrow morning as we head out. Just need to water outdoor pots and we are ready to go. Got me a book to read as well as my Kindle, plus a bottle of wine. Life is good! (Except for IDIOT bear hunters!)
Shirley - They love bark and charcoal and perlite for planting material. They like it humid, but don't need a lot of water. It seemed the more I ignored mine the better they did. The bark holds the water well for days! If it isn't humid where you have it, use a spray bottle of water and mist it from time to time!
Mine probably did so good in South FL because I hung them from the big shade trees and it was always humid!!
I need to get a spray bottle to mist it. Meanwhile, I let the hydrangea Kathryn and Hunter gave me get too dry. Kathryn watered it and put it in the window for some light. I had not ignored it, but it looked sad.
If you're sick of the rain and clouds, check out the West End Nest on Catalina! Nice and sunny and the youngest eaglet is hysterically trying to wingercize but keeeps tipping over head first - BONK!
Feel so bad for Thelma...seems like there has to be something we can do to make her feel better. If it's her job that has her upset, she should feel better shortly...being away from it! WE LOVE YOU, THELMA LOU AND WILL PRAY FOR YOU AS LONG AS IT TAKES!♥
Thanks to you, Sharon, for letting us know of her hospitalization and for being there for her♥
I put a picture on the momster album and I got it in the right one this time I had bookmarked the album and not the main page so I just redid it I was also trying to edit the title to put the time of day besides the date and realized that when you do that it just puts on end on the album so now out of order OOPS Gonna get a shower I want to see if they will show up I can't believe he was in not even a minute good name for him Minute Man LMLM
Yes, I believe the bounty on Lily is for real. Some SOB will see that as an ego trip. The same can be said now for Hope and Faith. So sad and maddening how some individuals are so in need of attention -- even negative attention is better than no attention.
Shirley, lovely orchid. Hoping it will last for a long time. Humidity is a good thing. Also, I suspect the students are speechless due to fear -- contemplating the unknown replacement is a powerful silencer.
Sharon, continued prayers and positive thoughts for T-Bird.
Paula, glad you got so much accomplished today with the yard. Give Nugz and extra hug, please.
Wanda, be sure to write out the instructions for Jack so he can help with the soup kitchen.
Lolly, don't worry about cooking. Gene is an expert.
Had a brief rain storm here. A little thunder and a bit of lightning. Quiet now.
Speaking of quiet, I am going to set the night light for automatic at 11:00pm. May or may not return for evening comments. Been feeling crummy all day. Seems I have a cold. I am NOT happy. So, I may just end up beating the sandperson to sleep tonight.
In advance, pleasant dreams and restful sleep for all.
Has Anyone seen the nearly full Moon? It has snuck up on us with all the cloudy nights... "Goes Full" at 7:09 Tuesday morning, might as well say it will look Full Monday night... Hope there is time for Megan to slip us the Full Moon Name for this month..

TRUDER - POOF

Keep your eyes peeled today, gals. According to a woman on OC we missed a spectacular Snowy Egret visit to the nest yesterday. Stange, but no one else saw it and there are no pics to document it ?????
I'm so excited that's Pete's Pond is back online. I've never been able to get it at home and now I do! Thanks for the info, Jim.
I'm in middle of uploading one of one of the short video I did Its the one with Truders strange move he did WINGEY thingey
Color, gLORIous color

Kay, when to we leave for Hawaii? Wouldn't that be great. An EM annual meeting (LOL) in Hawaii?
COLOR in the nest. Gorgeous!
Judy, do you have to work today?
Kay, did you get your computer squared away?
HMMM I wonder how the egret got missed by you all OH was that one that just landed LOL HA just kidding
YEP I work 7 to 4
Friday when Malcolm and I picked Seth up after school, the students were filing out of the stadium. They'd been watching the annual Junior vs. Senior Girls Football Game.

PA LINDA must be sneaking around my garden. Her avatar always changes to the next clematis to bloom for me - except hers appear 2 days before mine open! Go figure. I forget the name of the pink one up now, but it's a beauty and going crazy this year.
Kay, how cool that Seth is a bird lover and even cooler, that you're such a great grandma and take Malcolm with you to pick him up!
JUDY - so many companies are doing things like that. Was so happy when I saw FORBES put out a WORST companies to work for list!
video is posted on facebook now
Thumbs up on the trip to Hawaii, Lori !
Yes, I ran Norton and they found 27 cookies to get rid of. Mahlware found nothing malicious. Decided to defragment, but was "told" it wasn't necessary at this time. So far, so good today. I'm going to delete cookies every day now !
MARGY should be chiming in any time.
Hello MEGAN if you're lurking.
LOL on the egret landing, Judy ! Keep an eye on the OC. She may see a pink elephant next !
KAY -
IE will do that automatically.
Go to the top of your screen and click on TOOLS.
Click INTERNET OPTIONS at the bottom of the menu.
Click on the ADVANCED TAB
Scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Opt. menu and check the box that says EMTPY TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES WHEN BROWSER IS CLOSED.
CLICK the APPLY at the bottom to save the change.
Must admit I've always heard of the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading method, but think I like Judie's method better. :)
LYNNE, so happy to hear that Dr Baker is on her way to recovery and they found the problem. Cat Scratch Fever was the first thing I thought of, you too I'm sure, and they just found it? Makes you wonder.
The POWER of Prayer really moves on this blog. Post a list and days later everyone is better and no more Prayer Requests! AMEN Sistas!!
Lori, I went there and that option was already checked. Wonder why it isn't working properly ??????
Was it just me or did I really see a PENGUIN and a RHINOCEROS in the nest? OMStars!
I saw it but didn't get a pic :LOL
did a video but didn't pick up on it WE better be good or be good and being bad LOL
yesterday I saw a robin chase a big black bird in my yard looked so funny
We've got a lot of rain headed our way this week. OH - reminds me Early Bird friends, I will be in Orlando W-Fr mornings so you may not see me much.
WELL I better get my butt in gear
Oops, no pink elephant---I saw a Flamingo !
Kay, sometimes those sites you give permission to will put whatever is it that is stronger than a cookie - so it remembers you. If it's cookie names you don't recognize you can delete them manually.
Holy COW! A FLAMINGO! And WAX!
didn't even see that one coming.
Good grief, I just got waxed yesterday--I'll pass it on if anyone wants it. Be sure you have Lanacane on hand for immediate application after waxing !!!
Forgive my fragmented sentences, Kay. :)
LOLLY's Wild Seed Farm sounds like a place I could spend the whole day wondering around in. Should we have the EM Second Annual Yearly Meeting there in 2012?
Judy, you still there?
headin out the door at 640
Two places I go to regularly are my main suspects. Sporcle.com and Snopes.com.. Can't think of any other possibilites. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks, Lori. I depended heavily on Stan for troubleshooting. After almost four years you'd thing I'd have figured all this out. :(
Can't wait to see what avatar PA LINDA puts up today so I will know what's going to bloom in my garden while I'm gone.
6:39 have a great and safe day JUDY.
Good morning Lori, Kay and JudyE!
Good Morning Dana, Steve, Boomer, Javalin and I know it's not hurdles but what's the third name?
I'll forgive your fragmented sentences if you'll forgive my fragmented frownie thing, Lori !
OOOPs - Steve is Lynne's husband. Sorry.
Obviously I need to spend more time on SPORCLE.com
Good morning to you, Dana ! Is everything just ducky in your neck of the woods today ?
Lori you are too funny. It's Frisbee. And how is Flobear (did I get it right, I get so confused)not howling I hope.
No ducks this morning although I saw a pair in the neighbors yard yesterday. Do you know they are still landing in the pool even with the solar cover on? I think that's just weird.

While you're gone ? Hope that only means to work or to some exotic vacation spot !
All your flower talk makes me feel inadequate. I don't even know whats growing outside at my house! I have beautiful Peonas.
And a very fragrant miniature lilac bush...
I'm at a loss when it comes to plant identification, too, Dana. I can't name most of the plants and trees around this condo community. Didn't buy or plant them and even if I had it's no guarantee I'd remember the names ! My own daughter wrote the book, "Wetland Plants, Biology and Ecology". Reckon I should have her go over the property with me and then record the findings with pics, etc. I feel so dumb when someone asks, "what's that plant?" !!!
Sorry DANA - Frisbee. Got it. FB/FloBear (not the author of Madam B, or FaceBook) is still sleeping.
KAY, I'll be working in Orlando Tues-Fr so may miss Early Birds W-Fr.
Wow ! I should know, I'm sure, but what's happening in Orlando this week ? Are Minnie and Micky up to something ?
Plants and flowers are just something you learn by doing, just like everything else.
Gosh, my heart breaks for the people in Mississippi and Louisiana. Can you imagine knowing your home and farm is going to be under 20+ feet of water? Thank heavens they've got some warning but that has got to be unbelievable.
I guess what I've learned the most about, by doing, is forgetting !;o)
I know, Lori, those folks just keep getting slammed by one thing after another, starting with Katrina !
Could have used that wax you got Kay, eyebrows need to be done! LOL
I guess as with all things you do learn by doing and when I pick plants I generally pick things I know or have had success with in my yard. My back yard is hot, hot, hot in the summer. Full sun all day. The front is shaded by the house most of the day.
Well I think I will enjoy the last of my coffee out on the deck, under the awning listening to the rain, with Boomer at my feet. Have a great day everyone!

HAGO, Dana !

So, going into LM myself as I wish you all a gLORIous and blessed Sunday !
I♥U, Lori !
A big hug, KAY, you lurker, you!
How about that - I come earlier then usual and for more then an
hour no one has been tending the blog... scare me into thinking that
the Blogger Cop is around
Good Morning - I 'll be off line for a few hours
I will copy and paste...
Could someone tell Mr Sun it's ol
to come on out!
Good morning,
Lurking here. While watching The King's Speech.
The nest is beautiful this morning. Right now, it is empty.
Morning all. Sky has lightened here, and there is hope for a bit of sun before afternoon.....to be followed by storms! Never went into the 40's last night here, Lori! Only down to 60°!
Aha---and there's the SUN!
I don't know plants/flowers well at all, Kay! Gee---maybe I could get a copy of your daughter's book---and have it autographed! That is something that will surely interest Margy!
I scared a turkey hen this morning when I went out to get the papers....but instead of running away, she flew! Unusual!
Finished the movie. It was much more inspirational than The Black Swan.
Lori, are you and Lou taking the show on the road, so to speak??? Or are you covering something special?
I have a very hard time grasping how the government gets away with these intentional floodings......I certainly hope that they are re-compensing the residents and business people IN FULL and for years to come for their losses.

Morning, all!
Going to go play in the mulch while it's nice and pretty outside!
Good morning everyone.
Overcast here and supposed to rain on the GW commencement. Not going.
NBG: WCR cam is unavailable - gives an error message. Have tried this morning. Looked yesterday. All three eaglets were there.
Lori, hope you have fun in FL.
Have The King's Speech on my to do list this summer. How many days, Shirley? Do the students know?
Enjoy the day, Jo.
Headed across the hall to my reading chair. Well, the chair doesn't read but I read while sitting in the chair.
Have a nice morning.
I was watching NBG yesterday...just pulled the cam up OK...that message was posted yesterday as well.
Good morning! Shhhhh! Playing hooky from church this morning. Jack and I both slept late this morning. Guess yesterday was exhausting! Going to get the trailer and start loading. Yea!
Morning crew.....I laughed out loud reading your posts.
My clematis is just about to stop blooming. It did very well this year. It is a deep pink, so pretty. Also, have another clematis that blooms later, but it is hardly noticeable, tiny and white.
51 here this morning...wow! Going to be a beautiful day! I will just rejoice and praise as I load the trailer.
I got NBG up with no problem.
Need to go to fb to see Judy's video of the nest visit. Sounds like Truder was up to no good this morn, being his clumsy self!
Good morning. Prayer request for T-Bird. Mental health issues and probably will be hospitalized today. Will keep you posted. Love you all.
20 days, Judie.
I don't think kids know, but teachers do, so it won't be long.
The student who works in the office knows, if she was paying attention the other day when it got mentioned in her presence. But she may not share everything she knows. She has been among staff for awhile.
All Right, Sharon
Momsters are on it !
(( hugs and Love ♥ )) to T-Bird, and you.....
Got a laugh out of morning posts, too. They are seeing things.
Prayers for T-Bird, Sharon. Please keep us posted.
Office worker kid is one of my students. A very sweet girl.
Happy Trails Lolly and Jack
I have a reading bed, Judie
I need a reading chair
Sharon....
Thank you for bringing us into the prayer early today, many daytime hours to send prayers skyward
I am sorry to hear that dear T-Bird is having a tough time
Kids were asking me when I was undecided, but they have not said anything lately.
Home for lunch no new thread bummer huh I keep hearing a clunking on cam box
I mentioned that I was woke up with storm this am well on the way to work and on the way home for lunch there is soooo much greenery all over the roads branches and leaves was some powerful winds I guess and off course Sunday the street sweeper doesn't work He'll have his job cut out for him tomorrow I guess I guess we had no unexpected company so far today no Pelicans or Flamingo ha ha I wonder what they are smokin LOL Ok gonna go heat up my coffee
Prayers and (((Hugs))) for Thelma! Keep us posted, Sharon.
Watched the video of this morning's visit. Interesting tail action on Truder's part.
Yes, there were, according to the morning crew, all kinds of interesting visits to the nest this morning. And, like on OC no pictures. Interesting!
Time to get busy! Will be peeking in later!
Have a great day!
Yeah what was that with his tail and wings was that asking for HP maybe odd
Hey I have seen the mocking bird do the tail thing just isn't as obvious as his big tail I think
shake your tail feathers that use to be in a song from years ago Maybe he has the song stuck in his head
Lori, just read back over some of our morning chatter. Big slap on the head, Duh !, I just got the FloBear, Madame B reference. LOL
Like many of you I'm astounded by the governmental decision in the Louisiana/Mississpi flooding. I can only guess that far more people would be displaced in urban areas if this were not done. Imagine the heavy weight for the decision makers as they realize they are wiping out years of blood, sweat and tears by those being flooded out. I couldn't sleep at night if it were me.
Lynn, I don't know how relevent Julie's book would be, but I do hope you'll meet her when you come to town ! Note, I said when, not if !
Paula, was the breakfast yummy ?
Sharon, Thelma is in my prayers. The prospect of moving is sometimes an emotional and daunting thing. :(
Checked in midday just in case our beauties decided to visit again, but back to LM now. BBL
Thelma is in my thoughts and hoping she will improve quickly.
K.C. and The Sunshine Band -- Shake Your Booty.
Lolly, sure hope you and Gene have a nice trip. Don't forget to send a card to Wanda and Jack.
I have a reading bed, also. Magical furniture.
Paula, how are the grandbabies? How was breakfast? How are you?
JudyE -
awesome new pictures for the E-M album but they went into the April album, not the May album....
Shirley, wonder if the students know but don't know what to say?
and I love post cards from traveling Momsters and Dadsters, Lolly and Jack ☺
probably because they are heartbroken, and speechless for a change, Judie...don't you think?
I know I would be...
speechless, not exactly in my vocabulary either
heading out,
Take care everyone, Love to you, All xoxo ♥
Oh Judie, I just caught your funny!
about Wanda and Jack and Lolly and Gene...LOL !
ok bye
I had to read Judie's funny twice...knew there was something in there ☺
Breakfast was yummy, Nugz is still doing good...he was whooped from following me and the gkids around yesterday ☺
Got my swing garden all mulched and one hanging basket done. Going to do the other basket then work on some more weeding and mulching.
Cloudy and humid, but no rain at present ☺
CT osprey cam is back on!
http://www.ctaudubon.org/2011/04/osprey-cam/
I think the CT osprey are expected to start hatching early this week.
My students are rarely at a loss for words--unless I am asking about school things.
Great, about Nugz, Paula...
sounds like a fun week-end for you...
I am trading some live plants for some empty hanging baskets this week with an old pal...
the way to a man's heart is through live garden plants ??
food has not worked so far
LOL
okay, really leaving now
xoxo ☺
Carrying Thelma in my heart on my travels...
Oh my, missed the post about Tbird. Sharon, please let Tbird know we are thinking about her. Keep us posted.
(((Hugs for Tbird)))
No posts in 2 hours? Really?
Gotta sign in first.
My new avatar is the orchid Rus brought me for Mother's Day.
Paula, I think everyone is enjoying the outdoors today. But we are about to get rain here.
Settling in to grade some papers.
Hi all! Yeah Shirley, I see on the radar there is rain coming for many of us.
Well, I must say, my pain level by 2am was so bad that I almost had Steve take me to the ER. Today, it's better (and I've been back on the Aleve) but not great. Something is going on. It's not like I even strained myself doing anything yesterday.
Meanwhile, I've been hearing the Oriole for the last few day singing like crazy and I'm hoping we'll find a nest!!
ShakeYourTaleFeathers Tina Turner and was also on the BluesBrothers
But I like shake your booty also
Beautiful orchid avatar Shirley.
Getting dark & cloudy here too. I was shocked to see it sunny here today, but that's about to come to an end.
Caught up on the blog now.
SHARON - Praying for
T-Bird/THELMA. Please let her know.
Is there anything you & Thelma need?
Do you need help with Buddy? My email is on my blog page if you or Thelma need anything.
Thunder and showers here now...break time!
Yup, Shirley, and that's a good thing!
Oh boy we are getting it now...thanks Mother Nature for holding off most of the day!
Hello everybody. I am back home. They admitted T -Bird. I will call her psychiatrist in the morning and hopefully get her transferred to a facility he works at.
SHARON, Thank you for the update on T-Bird/Thelma. Prayers for both of you. ((BIG HUG))
Didn't know that this was out there and didn't know if you all had seen it NBG Eagles taken from nest
Good Afternoon!
Working on another 4 hour course today. This one is much better than yesterday’s!!
Lori – LOL about the flower choices!! Glad I’m influencing what blooms next in your yard!!
A flamingo in the nest today? Hmmmm Are you just thinking of Flroida, Lori!!
Lolly - You sound like a kid - all excited to take your trip! That's great!!
Judie - Still loving that humor if yours!!
Sharon – Keeping Thelma in my prayers.
Paula – Glad you enjoyed the grandkids and Nugz continues to be doing okay!
Lynne – So sorry to hear you’re in so much pain. Could it be that you will need another day or so to get the levels of naproxen back to where they need to be before you see some relief? Do you have any pain killers that would help in the mean time? Praying for your pain to ease quickly ♥♥♥
Shirley – Beautiful Orchid!! I used to have lots of orchids in FL, but we gave a bunch to our neighbor when we moved north. Didn’t figure they’d do to well up in PA!
We’re having a rainy day here, too!
must be raining at nest I hear sound like rain hitting can't see it just hear it LM BBL
Thanks everybody for the prayers and hugs. You all know I am all about some hugs.
Oh, I always like to GO!!! Have not traveled since Fall when we did New England, east coast and WV.
Jack did some work on the trailer and he wanted to check it out before we head to Colorado next month. That trip will be here before we know it!
Sharon, so sorry that Thelma is having a hard time. Keeping her in prayer!
Okay, Guys, I am sick to my stomach. Talked with my sister who has just been in Minnasota and now heading to Wis. She said it is in the news there about a bounty for Lily. (or Hope) I checked it out by googling "bounty Lily Bear. It came up with a facebook page. Jack and I both checked it out and as Jack said, it was full of Macho Man Bull S__t!
There are so many STUPID, DUMB people in this world. Just turns my stomach.
Minnesota....knew that looked funny!
Wow, Lolly. I found that page. Sad.
Lily Bounty
Good evening. I am home. I am beat!
Sharon, know that you will give Thelma all our love and hugs, and you know that Momster prayers are at work.
Rain held off until a powerful downpour around 2:30....wind was crazy....but once it stopped raining, that breeze made it feel SO much less humid. We had a good afternoon. Not the turnout I was hoping for, but everyone else said it was excellent for our first time out. Maybe I'm to sensitive since I'm the one who sent SO many invitations!
Gee, Margy, empty pots for flowers seems kind of uneven, unless those pots are something really special!!
Lynne, sorry you are hurting, but glad it's not as bad as last night.
Lolly, hope you have an excellent trip!
Judie, you are at it again----ROFL. Always trying to mix up our two traveling couples!! It's been so long since Wanda and Gene took an RV trip, I bet they are wishing they could!
Trailer is almost packed with food and clothing for the week. Take Annie to camp tomorrow morning as we head out. Just need to water outdoor pots and we are ready to go. Got me a book to read as well as my Kindle, plus a bottle of wine. Life is good! (Except for IDIOT bear hunters!)
Shhhh, to not tell Wanda. She will get mad that I am off with Gene! But, gee, she gets Jack!
Pouring here now.
Shirley, love your orchid! Carolyn got one, too. I wouldn't even begin to know how to take care of one!
I figured I had better take a picture while it is still pretty.
Thanks, Lynn. I think it is pretty, too.
Okay, Flash has gone mashugana again. Running around the house barking and carrying on like has lost it.
Shirley - They love bark and charcoal and perlite for planting material. They like it humid, but don't need a lot of water. It seemed the more I ignored mine the better they did. The bark holds the water well for days! If it isn't humid where you have it, use a spray bottle of water and mist it from time to time!
Mine probably did so good in South FL because I hung them from the big shade trees and it was always humid!!
Well, that Lily bounty page makes me sick. I reported the page......did the rest of you?????
Lynn - Glad the Open House went well. Sorry the turn out wasn't as well as you had hoped. I'm sure you put a lot of effort into it!
I need to get a spray bottle to mist it. Meanwhile, I let the hydrangea Kathryn and Hunter gave me get too dry. Kathryn watered it and put it in the window for some light. I had not ignored it, but it looked sad.
Do you think reporting it will help?
Linda, glad your course today was easier!!!
Yeah, Linda, thank goodness for an easier course.
Yeah, Linda, thank goodness for an easier course.
Double thanks!!
I don't know if it will help or not, Shirley, but it sure can't hurt.
If you're sick of the rain and clouds, check out the West End Nest on Catalina! Nice and sunny and the youngest eaglet is hysterically trying to wingercize but keeeps tipping over head first - BONK!
West End Eaglets Sunny Catalina
Colonel Adam Boomerang the Yo Yo Truder present
poof already
I got a pic of the yo yo
i saw him floy under nest
After hearing that Bounty for Lily story, OMG what is wrong with people? I had to refresh with a happy thought of eaglets at WCV and WE.
Going to FB Bounty Page to report it! Great detective work LOLLY & JACK!
wow on the news they said another bounce house in Az that got picked up by the wind no one heard there is a video I will see if I can find
Shirley - You can always hang it in your bathroom and it will enjoy the humidity from the shower until you get your mist bottle!!
Got sidetracked several times, and am just getting to the webcams.
********************
Hope you are all
having a great day.

I reported that page too.
Glad the rain came when it did...kept me from overdoing it!
Cooled off here now...been doing a bit of laundry and picking up and watching a show or two.
Paula, good for you getting some relaxation AND laundry done.
Give Nugz some scratches from me, and an extra biscuit, please. ♥
Sensible Comments
This is one of the links on the Facebook page in my previous link. Interesting and sensible article.
Do you suppose the FB page about a Bounty on Lily is for real or some idiot trying to rile up Lily fans?
Makes me sick to my stomach too.
Heading off to bed shortly but wanted to give SHARON another ((BIG HUG)).
Sharon, can we send flowers or cards to THELMA?
Maybe it would cheer her up to know we're all pulling for her and praying for her. Glad Buddy has you, too.
Feel so bad for Thelma...seems like there has to be something we can do to make her feel better. If it's her job that has her upset, she should feel better shortly...being away from it!
WE LOVE YOU, THELMA LOU AND WILL PRAY FOR YOU AS LONG AS IT TAKES!♥
Thanks to you, Sharon, for letting us know of her hospitalization and for being there for her♥
Lolly, do you recognize my avatar?
First bloom today...it is a rich yellow and I can't wait to plant them with my purple ones! Thank You!♥
More Stuff About the Lily Controversy
It seems they have stirred up quite a controversy. Very interesting comments.
Someone is claiming the whole page is a joke.
I think you might be right, Wanda. They are trying to get a rise out of Lily fans.
I like the comments from the teacher whose students have been watching Lily.
Love the avatar, Wanda.
Yes, can we send flowers or some other gift to Thelma?
I put a picture on the momster album and I got it in the right one this time I had bookmarked the album and not the main page so I just redid it
I was also trying to edit the title to put the time of day besides the date and realized that when you do that it just puts on end on the album so now out of order OOPS
Gonna get a shower I want to see if they will show up I can't believe he was in not even a minute good name for him Minute Man LMLM
Back for an early evening visit.
Yes, I believe the bounty on Lily is for real. Some SOB will see that as an ego trip. The same can be said now for Hope and Faith. So sad and maddening how some individuals are so in need of attention -- even negative attention is better than no attention.
Shirley, lovely orchid. Hoping it will last for a long time. Humidity is a good thing. Also, I suspect the students are speechless due to fear -- contemplating the unknown replacement is a powerful silencer.
Sharon, continued prayers and positive thoughts for T-Bird.
Paula, glad you got so much accomplished today with the yard. Give Nugz and extra hug, please.
Wanda, be sure to write out the instructions for Jack so he can help with the soup kitchen.
Lolly, don't worry about cooking. Gene is an expert.
Well I finished today's course.....took the online exam.....and got a 100%!!
WhooHoo!! Much better feeling than yesterday's nightmare course, that is for sure!!
I think I'll go take an early shower and see what is on TV! Will check back in a bit later!
Night Lori.....Sleep well!! God Bless You ♥♥♥
Had a brief rain storm here. A little thunder and a bit of lightning. Quiet now.
Speaking of quiet, I am going to set the night light for automatic at 11:00pm. May or may not return for evening comments. Been feeling crummy all day. Seems I have a cold. I am NOT happy. So, I may just end up beating the sandperson to sleep tonight.
In advance, pleasant dreams and restful sleep for all.
How do you report that facebook page? Looked and could not find anything?
Has Anyone seen the nearly full Moon? It has snuck up on us with all the cloudy nights...
"Goes Full" at 7:09 Tuesday morning, might as well say it will look Full Monday night...
Hope there is time for Megan to slip us the Full Moon Name for this month..
