LYNN you won't have many Early Bird emails to worry about this morning with

BOTH CAMS STILL DOWN!

I'm off to get ready for work, running behind - what a shock!

I haven't read anything from GLO in a while, or did I miss something. I hope she is okay.

Early Birds feel free to go back to bed since the cams are down. We can catch up tomorrow, over load Lynn's box with email and have a good old time!

Lori O. said...

MAJOR BUMMER!

LIVE CAM AND STILL CAM ARE BOTH OUT OF OPERATION.


I don't expect anyone has been working all night to get them up - just wishful thinking.

Lori O. said...

More GREAT News:

Not only did WCV WIN $200,000 from the Chase FaceBook giveaway, BUT NORFOLK BOTANICAL GARDENS WON $100,000!!!

Lori O. said...

NEST WEATHER:

Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. South wind 8 - 14 mph.

Tonight: A 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 66. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Kay said...

Good Morning my dear LORI !

Great news on the WCV/NBG Chase FB give away wins. We know that 300,000 is sorely needed and will be well spent !

First must thank everyone who held my Okie cousins and friends in their hearts and prayers. I talked to my contacts on both sides of the family tree last night and all is well. Cousin Joyce and hubby in Guthrie spent a couple of tense hours in their cellar and listening to hail, rain and howling wind. When they emerged there was no significant damage to be seen on their farm. The high school suffered lots of damage making it necessary to call the school year to a halt 3 days early, but no loss of life or limb in the area. She says all other relatives are AOK as well ! What a relief !

Need to read back a bit n' see what you've all been up to.

Kay said...

LORI, sorry you had to be all alone for the split and the waxing. Hope it wasn't too painful,☺.

I'm pretty sure those predicted showers and thunderstorms will materialize for the nest this evening. Heavy rain and thunderstorms have rolled through Columbus every couple of hours since 9 o'clock last night. It made for a fitful night of sleep as I expected to hear hail and the tornado warning alarms. The predictions were dire !

Lori O. said...

Blessed morning KAY! Great to hear your relatives are all okay.

I'm keeping an eye on the ThreEaglets at WCV. They're all up and at 'em this morning.
Hey babies - you're rich! :-)

Kay said...

Congrats to all you eagle buds who were rooting for Scottie on AI. I didn't watch, but saw the last 10 minutes as it overlapped into the news I watch at 10pm. I was impressed with the poise and grace shown by the girl who came in 2nd and could see how talented the young man is when he sang during his victory walk !

SHIRLEY, thanks for defining BDP for me ! I could have guessed all day without coming up with Blue Devil Pride. Sounds like a fun occasion.

LYNNE2, Yes, I'm planning on attending the Open House in October. Have made my hotel reservation, so the wheels are in motion. I'm looking forward to a lot of hugs, smiles, laughs and precious times with you all ! So saddened by the facts you shared about your precious young Steve. How sad, but you've shown how strong you are in the way you've moved on. {{{{{{{LYNNE}}}}}}}.

Kay said...

Those babies at WRV are unaware of their fund raising expertise !

Thanks to WANDA for sharing the joy of Jayden and to MARGY for sharing her wildlife adventures with us !

Kay said...

So, LORI, are the floors at your house all steam cleaned n' shiny now ?

Kay said...

In the interest of promoting wellness for Momsters and Dadsters I'm bringing this earlier post forward today:

"LORI, LYNN, LOLLY....I guess the lesson to be learned regarding meds is, always ask the doctor or pharmacist what time of day one should be taken. I already ask if "it" should be taken with or without food."

Have the discussion with your medical team, whether it's an OTC or a Rx ! Say "yes, Mama Kay !"

Lori O. said...

No steam mopping yet, Kay. The mop arrived but not the extra cleaning clothes, so I didn't want to start a job I could only half complete - I'm pretty good at that anyway, I don't need a guarantee that I won't finish! :)

Lori O. said...

Yes, Mama Kay.

Kay said...

LORI, what do you mean, "extra cleaning clothes" ? Light bulb blinking over head says you must mean extra cleaning cloths. Either that or you're waiting for you hazmat garb and face mask ????

Kay said...

Since we have no nest to monitor, I'm going away for a few to check e-mail. Be back soon.

Lori O. said...

Yes, KAY, shoulda been cleaning cloths. Have you been hanging out with JUDIE again?
Big smile. I love you both.

Kay said...

Ha, JUDIE, she's on to us !

LORI, you have e-mail.

Kay said...

Moving on to the newspapers, some breakfast..... BBL

Have a great day ! I♥U !

♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y !!!!!

magpie said...

G☺☺D Morning, and Good Day. Eagle Pals!
running late, missed the time to talk

Good to hear the report of your Oklahoma family, Kay, that they are all right, does indeed sound frightful.

Thanks Paula, glad you got to view the Hawklets, not sure why comments wouldn't post but I had a heck of time trying also, had to keep signing in, finally got one to test drive on hawks and flowers...

Best wishes for a Good, Safe, Healthy Day, Everyone
xoxo ♥

JudyEddy said...

Good morning Hey has any one found the missing IM that Kay seems to have lost here on blogland oh no do you think it went with the rapture LOL Kay you are no longer KayIM

Kay said...

Hi JUDYE, I wondered who would be the first to observe the name change. I used Kay with my middle and last initials at the beginning because I thought there was already a Kay amongst us. I now realize there is only me and Grannie Kay. She rarely checks in, but the Grannie sets her apart. So, I've claimed the simple Kay for myself. ☺

Lori O. said...

Sneaky KAY! You changed your avatar too and I love it.

Kay said...

Tee Hee ! I can't get by with anything here ;o) My sunflower will return after the holiday, unless someone announces a new avatar theme.

Linda said...

Good Morning Eagle Friends!

Have no idea what has been going on i Shepherdstown Eagle Land for the past week or so, but wanted say Hi for a few minutes!

Last week my oldest brother was in ICU (until yesterday) in FL and this week I am in Syracuse with my youngest brother's four kids (ages 4-11) while they are away at a conference.

It's been a busy and stressful couple weeks for me!

Nice to be able to try and catch the early birds for once. Any of that SSCC coffee left?? I surely could use some!!

I've missed you!

Lori O. said...

LINDA, we've missed you too. So happy you could check in and that your older brother is better! Amen!
Your younger brother is lucky to have you!

I'm having to guess at my next plants to flower without your daily avatar changes and think of you everytime I see my clematis.

Linda said...

Thanks Lori!! Let's see......my wisteria are in bloom and some little ground cover type lavender flowers that I just love.

We've had so much rain.........and more is on the way.......that it's putting a hurting on the flowers.

The heavy rains blew most of the pedals off the Magnolia.......but that seems to happen every year. Don't know why we keep that..

Lolly said...

Shhhh...do not tell! I am sneaking in and hoping to say a real good morning to the Early Birds!

First off....Yes, Mama Kay!

Too funny, Lori....all we need is Kay and Judie putting their heads together. Yikes!

Linda said...

I gathered from the emails that there has been an announcement of the NCTC Open House. I hope I'll be able to discuss that with my hubby and see if he'll go with me......(probably not) and then hopefully make plans. His birthday is just a day or before that, but he's a trooper!!

Is there information in the email of where to make reservations to stay?

Lolly said...

Hi Linda! You have been missed. Your name has been brought up several times....asking about you.

Red said...

I haven't posted much here lately but I know you will all want to see this.

The Owl and The Pussycat

Kay said...

Hi LINDA, so good to hear from you and it's grand to know your older brother was able to leave ICU yesterday ! Here's hoping his recovery will now go smoothly and quickly. Four kids between 4 and 11! That'll keep you on your toes ! Hope you enjoy our SSCC coffee and will join us here often !

Lolly said...

Linda, someone will be giving you all the info for reservations. Your hubby would enjoy it. We will not be there this year, but Jack has always tagged along and enjoyed it. This group is such a open loving group and everyone has a great time. The open house is very interesting and it is just fun to see the nest and the campus.

Lolly said...

Good morning, Red! How are ya?
Saw that video on fb the other day. Quite remarkable!

Lolly said...

Going to read the paper now. We leave in little over an hour for Denton. Going to see my boys!☺

Linda said...

Thanks, Lolly! Thanks, Kay! I've really missed you guys!

I've only been here with the kids for two days, but boy am I exhausted. Hoping I will get a second wind as I get used to these crazy schedules!!

Middle School, Elementery School, Library and Craft time, Baseball Game, Packing Lunches, Showers, Brush your teeth, 3+ meals a day...... Don't know how DanaMo does it with four children!!

Kay said...

LOLLY, nice to see you bright n' early today. I know you'll have a great time in Denton today and I'm sure your boys will love having their grandparents on hand for their special activities !

RED, happy to see you as well ! Wonderful video ! I love to see such odd pairings as this leap frogging cat and his beautiful owl pal. People can learn a lot about tolerance from animals !

Lori O. said...

Good Morning LOLLY! How wonderful to have you so early. ((((( A BIG EARLY BIRD HUG!)))))

LOL on that KAY & JUDIE collaboration. :)

LINDA - don't stay away too long.
Are you small lavendar ground cover flowers Vinca minor, or periwinkle?

Lori O. said...

Forgive me, A big hug for you too RED! Nice to hear from you!

Kay said...

LINDA, Lynn sent hotel info through e-mail as well as posting it here a few days ago. I'm sure she'll be happy to repeat once she reads your post.

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

I see that Scotty won. I hadn't been watching this season, so I did not have a favorite. I watched the first part of the show last night, but could not stay up for the finish.

Hope Darth is in a better mood today.

Much to do today.

BBL.

Kay said...

SHIRLEY, we like having you check in on the early bird segment of the day ! Hope you get that list of to-do's whittled down. Do you see that light at the end of the tunnel ☼ ?

Kay said...

Ducking back out. Must get set for a date with a doctor (routine), a stop at the gas station (need a shock to the system) and the grossery store. Will check back later in hopes that the cam is back up and to see what the day shift is up to ! HAGD all !

Lolly said...

Have read the paper and now to go get beautiful for the day. Have on my street clothes, now to put on my street face.

Have a great day everyone!☺♥

Lori O. said...

Bye Lolly!
I'm sure you're beautiful on your worst day. No worries.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNIING EVERYONE...

Lolly, enjoy your time with your 'boys':)

RED, loved the video...thanks!

Costume Lady said...

LOL...Lolly has seen me on my "worst day". She stopped in my shop on her way to Shepherdstown, and I had just washed my hair and had it wrapped in a towel. I was a mess, but, so glad she and Jack stopped in! Judie and Darth did the same thing...but, that is a looong, funny story!!

Costume Lady said...

Wish Lolly and Jack were coming to OH this year, but it is a long drive for them. They have been to two Open Houses. You new ladies would love her:)

KAY, so glad you are coming...anxious to meet you. Capt. Gene says it is appx. 350 miles from here to Columbus. We have never driven straight through to Columbus...always stop in Zanesville overnight, just because...(on our way to Chicago).

Costume Lady said...

Smelled a skunk very strongly just before bedtime, last night. I'm wondering if our two fox kits got curious and tried to play with him...going to check the SD Card after breakfast:) If you haven't seen my babies, KIT CARSON and KIT KAT, they are on my last Trail Cam video on my blog, Just For Fun.
Grandson, Jayden is also featured there, making a garden...what a hoot!

Lynn or someone asked about the black cat that is usually seen on the Trail Cam...SHE is a 'drop off' and now has kittens somewhere, probably under my shop...good place for black cats, under a Halloween shop:)

Costume Lady said...

Speaking of skunks making a stink, we had an adult fox to get sprayed one night. We smelled the odor and checked the Trail Cam the next day, and sure enough, you could see it all happening...too funny and stinky:)

Costume Lady said...

LINDA...good to see you back. Hope your brother is well on the road to recovery and that it doesn't take too long for your recovery after your stint with all your charges...what was it, 4? Bless you for being there for them:)

Costume Lady said...

Where did you all go? Taken up in the RAPTURE? Looks like I got 'LEFT BEHIND' (she said, with tongue in cheek).
BBL

Judie said...

Good morning!

Yes, I am on to you both Kay and Lori. The nest task is to figure out how you two are getting "cloths" planted by Hoda in her outdoor containers. I suspect the missing IM letters can be found hidden beneath the deep and dangerous snow of a far away place where all things discarded seem to be hidden as disguised objects.



Linda

Judie said...

Linda, sure hope your brother has improved and is no longer in ICU. Now taking care of four children. Hang in there!

Hi Margy, was also thinking about safety at the Swinging Bridge. I know you are careful. Just be extra careful, please.

Judie said...

Congratulations to WCV and NBG on their monetary rewards for all their hard work and dedication to the critters who need human intervention.

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda, nice to see you on here this morning!

And hello Linda And Red!!

hedgie said...

Good morning, eagle dudettes and dudes!

Chiming in to tell Margy that i couldn't leave comments on her pics, either....but they were great!!

Wanda, sent you an email about the gabapentin.

Andy, no---they did not microchip Liesl when she was spayed (before she came east)...:( So while I hope she doesn't have to have any kind of future surgery, if she does, it will be done at that time.

paula eagleholic said...

Big congrats to WCV and NBG and many many thanks to those of you who were able to cast your vote for them!!

hedgie said...

Lori, Glo has withdrawn from the blog (again). Her heart can't deal with the bad/sad things we post anymore.

Congrats to WCV!!! Nice chunk of change for them!!

hedgie said...

Oh, and NBG, too!!! Way to go!

Lynne2 said...

Good morning all!

Lynne2 said...

Nice to see Red again, and SO glad you are back too Linda!!

hedgie said...

Thanks for reposting the comment about asking dr. about meds, Kay. But I've gotta warn you.....drs. often don't know much about them!!! The pharmacist is the best go-to person when you have drug questions!!

Linda said...

Thanks, Wanda, Judie and Paula!

I am hoping today is a bit quieter than the last two! We've been empty nesters for almost 6 years now and I'm not used to all this "activity and energy!"

You always look back and wonder how you handled those younger years!!

hedgie said...

Glad that everyone's kith and kin are safe and accounted for! Wonder if we will ever see calm and peace as far as weather goes this summer??

Linda said...

And thanks, Lynne, too!!!

It's good to be back. I will try to chatch up some, but a whole weeks worth or more, will be too much!

Judie said...

Lolly, you're probably on your way soon but have a fun day with the boys. Are you sharing the meatball recipe?

Lowreeda, hope you are feeling better and sorry you had two funerals on the same day.

Hi Sharon. How's the moving back process going? Smoothly, I hope. Hi to T-Bird, please.

Wanda, sure hope the medication helps to control GG's pain.

Kay, know you sure are happy that family in OK are all safe. Good news, indeed.

Well, off to try to watch some trial and read some crime stuff.

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

I think the loon eggs are supposed to start hatching next week!

glo said...

Just popping in to say that Judy E sent a message on facebook saying she has tried for hours to get onto the blog. Got a similar message form Jim yesterday. Just giving you a heads up in case you are wondering or have any advice for these folks. Also curious to see if in fact my blog will post so I can message her back with that info. I see many of you are on so not sure what is happening. I won't see your responses BUT if you can help please let them know your suggestions.

hedgie said...

Got a deer and a raccoon on the trail cam last night, but setting was on infrared rather than flash (even tho' I was sure it had been on flash and even thought I saw it flash last night)....need to adjust position a little to get full view on zoom....and reset to flash!

Judie said...

Doing a Margy...

Lori, I too think you have Vinca Minor which I always called Periwinkle. Very pretty ground cover.

Red, good to have you with us this morning. Thank you for the owl/cat video. Amazing pals.

Wanda, I asked about the black cat. Hope she and babies will be okay. Yes, let the newbies wonder about you and Darth in the costume shop.

Darth is fine.

Going to look at Wanda's and Margy's videos.

Have a nice morning, everyone.

BBL

hedgie said...

So good to see you back with us, Linda! Hope your brother mends/heals/improves quickly. Were you in FL? Bet you had your hands full with those four younguns!!!! Or was it a welcome respite from taxes???!!!

hedgie said...

Yes, Linda, the email I sent for Open House has lodging info in it!!!

hedgie said...

Hi Red!!! How be you???!!! Love the video! Sure would like to know the whole story behind that relationship!!!

hedgie said...

The owl does appear to be banded and has a length of something hanging from his leg.

wvgal_dana said...

I am a happy happy camper becuase Scotty won.

Great Lori that the Wildlife Center won
they certainly deserved it.

Wanda I hope the Gabapentin
helps GG. They had me on it
for the cervical and spinal
stenosis but it didn't help
but for the sciata it should
help her.

Lynn-Hedgie so happy Liesl
is doing so well-we knew
she would..rubs to her.

Paula oh that would be neat
to borrow the kayak then
you would know if that is
what you wanted.HUGS being
sent to Deb. Maybe a
small boat with an electric
motor or small gas motor.
Kids can ride in a small
boat with you all.

You and me both Lolly. I
think she is too much for
some shows, especially
last nights. That guy was
ontop of her and they acted
like they were.

Margy I love your pictures
of wildflowers. It wouldn't
let me leave a comment.

Margy beautiful hawk nest
pictures. I would love to
see those hawkletts!!!
Tried to leave a comment
it won't let me ♥

Ha Ha Dog drool ... my
daughter had a bullmastiff
and he did drool after
drinking water badly lol
Loved that dog.Have fun
in Heaven Dozer♥♥♥ I know
you and Ed are playing. He
just love you !!

Yes Lynn-HedgieI would get a chip
or a tattoo for Leisl.

Kay even though your cousin
Joyce and Guthrie had to
spend some tense time in their
cellar. I am glad they had the
cellar and they are ok.

PA-Lynn Linda praying your
brother is doing better. We
have been waiting to hear
from you.
Red I love the cat and the
owl video thanks for posting.

wvgal_dana said...

I couldn't get into the blog. So that is how I did it. Went to the Shepherdstown Page and top right click "sign in" and did and it let me post comment.

wvgal_dana said...

Lolly I'm doing a hint hint see my avatar - hoping you will send me some seeds. hee hee ty ( :

hedgie said...

Well HELLO, Glo! Glad you stopped by! Jim and Judy both knew about the "backdoor" way we had to use to get in on the blog a couple of days ago....don't know what else to suggest to them if THAT isn't working for them today.

I WAS wondering where early-bird JudyE was---afraid she had overslept, but then remembered it's her day off, so hope she DID sleep in!

paula eagleholic said...

JudyE's sign in problem sounds like the one I had w/ Margy's blog last night...never did resolve it...

hedgie said...

Judie, how is Darth today?? Hope he's in a better mood!!
Baez is being a jerk.....and George is getting angry!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Well the question of the day raised by JudyE is
Is just Kay really the FANTASTIC KayIM we have known on this blog - I think so!

So thankful for basements/cellars/closets that have kept so many
safe. This has been quite the tornado season. I pray it is over!

Even though the cams are down - it is great to have everyone here.

Mema Jo said...

JudyE was on at 7:33 this am.

Congratulations to WCV and NBG for
winning the Chase $$. Of course the thank you goes to all of you who voted every day.

Mema Jo said...

When I made by 1st comment it did
publish but it threw me over to the
sign page. For so long I didn't need to sign in that when it happens I hesitate before I remember my password! CRS-you know

wvgal_dana said...

Mema Jo you better do I like do now. In my favorities I also had a page with things for my password.

wvgal_dana said...

JudyE I hope Darth is being nice...If not bring him up to the Open House ... we will fix him so he is nice to you ( :

Judie said...

Lynn, strategy strategy and more strategy. Baez is deliberately trying to irritate G. Anthony to make a slip-up in his testimony. Remember, G. Anthony is, in effect, a hostile witness as he favors the prosecution.

Darth is fine.

Bye

stronghunter said...

Supposed to be really hot--mid 90s here today. The band is marching in their hot uniforms for the town parade. Wow!

stronghunter said...

Band kids have been told to drink lots of water. I guess so.

wvgal_dana said...

Minnesota Loon eggs to hatch anytime now.

Loon webcam

Mema Jo said...

So Dana - what's up with Darth coming to OH with JudyE?
I gotcha on that slip up! <:)

wvgal_dana said...

Well Jo is Judie comes and brings Darth...I am sure as fun as Darth was the last (can't remember 1 or 2times). We ladies can make sure Darth is nice to Judie. Did I slip up????

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I did JudyE I put hummm your just to quick for me lady lmbo

Mema Jo said...

Loon is off the eggs
No hatches yet

Mema Jo said...

Loon egg roll (hope they never roll
off into the lake) Wiggle wiggle
and is back down. I am anxious to
see the little black fuzzy chicks.

hedgie said...

Whoops, Jo---I DID miss JudyE's 7:30'ish post! Wonder what happened that she can't get back---must have logged off!!

Oh, Judie, I know....but Baez is like a dog with a bone. His inexperience is showing and he is really ticking off the judge. They said early on that he had never tried a murder case before. But to not know that he couldn't refer to a pic that wasn't in evidence is insane!

Judie said...

Well, I think we may have Wanda-Jack/Lolly-Gene shenanigans going on. However, I'm sure Darth and JudyE would have a fun time together.

I agree, Lynn. Baez should back off. Not good to have an unhappy judge.

Okay, 100+ books to be donated. Sure hope others will enjoy them as I have.

Bye

Hoda said...

Good morning from British Columbia which makes it good afternoon EDT...in regards the sign in I again will not have a delete symbol because since I signed in by clicking on the main page I have not been able to sign out!!!In a way it is good because I can log on to post without effort yet I wonder about the security feature since I sign in through google...

Sad that I will not be able to attend our reuniion in October.

Thanks for the video Red. That cat rean away at the endo f the video was somone approaching...the owl is banded and with a string hanging loose so I thought it was domesticated.

Mema Jo said...

Hoda I too wondered what scared the cat off at the end. Had to be something larger or a human saying
Scat Cat!

Hoda I never Sign Out on the blog.
I merely just close it down.

Hoda said...

Thank you Mema Jo...so there is no security issue then, I am relieved.

On FaceBook Judy E says she can not sign on, on this blog, and has been trying for hours. Her post was two hours ago and I have not seen anything since. Maybe others are having problems logging on too???

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - I hope the band kids make
it through the parade ok! A change
of uniform maybe a white t-shirt
would seem to be appropriate.

Lynne2 said...

GEESH, it's 90.5 here already.

wvgal_dana said...

Well for when I get ready (when it hits me). I found my spiritual place...my friend called me yesterday. I just knew she needed to talk about a problem but I also knew "God was going to have my special spiritual place in that phone call". HE DID thank you Lord.. Father Amen.

wvgal_dana said...

Now I am looking to see what I want to see in Colorado. Need to find out when I am going there. Not right away daughter is sick. Want her well so we can have FUN!!

Hoda said...

wv_dana, does this mean you are going to move to Colorado? I love the mountains there...

Lynne2 said...

Cool Dana!

wvgal_dana said...

Hoda no just a visit to my daughter that is living out there. Let me think since 3 or 4 years.

She has came home twice for a visit.

Mema Jo said...

Taking a break
BBL

stronghunter said...

NEW THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoda said...

How envious I am!!! I think Stronghunter mentioned 90 degree weather and the band will have to march in uniforms...it is 48 F degrees here and it has been wet for the past three days at least.I wish the band well and I do hope they carry and drink lots of water, but I would like to have this warmth and this sunshine...
