FINALLY, TRUDER MOVES OUT FROM UNDER THE LEAVES ACROSS TO THE OLD NEST CUP AREA TO PICK AT SOME FLUG. YUMMY. SOMETHING CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION OFF TO THE RIGHT, THEN HE STEPS UP ON THE RAIL AT 10. POOF GOES TRUDER.
I would have flipped if I had seen it. But the guy who took the pic didn't ask any questions, so I don't know if it was injured or what since it is just sitting there.
Figured we would all keep an eye out to see if he/she ends up at WCV or somewhere.
Great ideas JUDYE! Wish they had a cam on the 4 eaglet nest this year, but who knew?
Ah, we have 4 eaglets anyway now at WCV.
Yes, I'd have ask a billion ?'s if I had stumbled up on that eaglet. There were two guys standing there protecting it. Someone knew something. And when it comes to eagles we want to know everything!!! :)
Well I have been working there 21 years and really haven't seen any discrimination at all We are on a pay scale so it would be impossible to pay each sex different money I have seen women being picked on more but not discriminated against
Example of picking Nancy my new dept mgr was told she couldn't go to lunch until all the features in action alley were full That would have never been said to a man
Amy was a dept mgr in sporting good and was off on a holiday weekend Her dept was trashed and she was blamed for it she was then made as a cashier she stepped down instead of being written up something like that now she is back on the floor in produce
overslept...missed it. I guess I am still catching up on my sleep from last week. I can't believe how much I am sleeping. Glad I have a routine doctor appointment on Friday.
Yes, too funny! Don't want anyone to get overly concerned.
I am a sleepy head. I think I have slept more than I have been awake since I have returned. I'm not getting anything accomplished in the house at all. I have tons of school stuff that I want to work on over the summer. We will see how much of it I get done. I thought I would sort papers at the pool or in front of the TV but I haven't looked at it at all!
Lolly when you check in, remember to check ISS flyovers for during your trip...you will have to put in the zip code for your campsite area...(and then print it out!) looks like we will start getting late night flyovers hereabouts on June 24
Wow, none of you have been on here for the last hour ? Good report on Truder's nest call.
While that was going on I was going through all kinds of machinations in the attempt to get on line. Kept getting a strange At&T message and their advice to reboot. Did that, still no go. I looked to see if Casper had jarred a connection loose or had chewed into the wiring. NOT ! Finally threw the ball to Norton for a full system scan and went back to bed.
LORI, great pic of the juvie in the median. I'm thinking it fledged, but landed in a strange spot and didn't know what to do. Sometimes they get carried away and disoriented, like the NBG eaglet last year who had to be rescued from the pond after landing in it on one of his first flights.
JUDYE is our tea drinker, I just helped myself to the last of the coffee. {{{{LORI}}}}}
MARGY, thanks for the Goshawk report ! The chick we lost there must have been the middle child. Seems a long span in development between the two who made it.
Good morning THELMA ! What's up in your neck of the woods ?
Darn it KAY - I've asked the computer gods NOT to give you any problems. Glad you're okay!
THELMA - Hello! Hey, is Bluemont in WV or Virginia? Kate went to a wedding over the weekend off Rt 7 in Bluemont, VA. An extra treat for Buddy please. :)
SHIRLEY, sending positive vibes your way as you settle into the dentist's chair. !
Prayers again this morning for ROBYN's dear TORI ! Also thinking of you LYNNE and praying you'll find the medical help you need for that inflamed knee, at an afforable price.
Just realized I had a senior moment. JUDYE is the one who only drinks Hazelnut Coffee. LYNN is a tea drinker, but she rarely makes it to the SSCC. So, guess I don't know who is using all those teabags, LORI !
Congowings: Bald eagles are compulsive nest builders and show strong fidelity to nest sites, many times using the same nest each year - or building others close by. Since eagles are large birds and are long-lived, the nest size must be in proportion and accommodate years of use. Nests are rarely built in the topmost branches of the host tree, but a bit lower since the upper boughs can’t support the huge structure the eagles build. The eagles usually start the nest with some major branches with forks in them about 12 feet from the top. If the stick placement sticks, the pair will continue to bring in sticks. Smaller branches will form the rim of the inside bowl and the spaces are filled in with smaller vegetation including grasses and pine. They will continue to add nesting material throughout the nesting season as the activity of the young will require repairs.
Okay, looks like THELMA had no time for chit chat or answering questions. And, LORI must be dealing with all those details that come at the end of her work day. HAGD all ! BBL
Kate set up a pen for them to play in last night. They are so cute, cute, cute, cute! Just adorable. Yes, I took pictures but it was too late (for me) to post them.
Of course, I had to post that eaglet picture this morning. Eagles can't wait. Wait until you see Bobby & Alvin, though. Kittens are like happy pills!
Lolly Thank you so very much for the seeds of the "Texas Gold Columbine". I will take you advice and talk with Wanda. To see when and how she planted hers. The picture of the yellow flower is gorgeous!!!! Thank you so very much ( :
If you haven't seen the picture I posted of the eaglet at 2:35 this morning, what's your opinion? I checked WCV and they haven't admitted an eaglet that they've written up yet. Fledging gone awry?
Hi everyone and thanks for keeping Tori in your thoughts and prayers.
Tori's dad is in town and is staying with her in PICU down in DC he flies out tomorrow so I felt it best he spend the time with her so he can understand what she goes thru and know this is not something to take lightly.
Tori's body is in full exhaustion, her heart rate is 122 at rest, her resp is avg 50/60 which is somewhat normal for her. She had strep a few weeks ago and I am wondering if the strep wasn't completely cured or maybe it was something I overlooked. We will know more today they may perform a bronchoscopy on her. They did many tests one was a blood gas which came back good we are still awaiting infection and bloodwork tests.
Thank you Robyn, appreciate the update, am sorry for the illness and discomfort for Tori, and the worry for all of you You know we are still praying If you need any help with anything...let me know... xoxo (( Hugs ♥)) for you and Tori xoxo
JudyE---I strongly doubt that there will be a cam on that 4-eaglet nest.....I think it's a rather remote area along the river....could be wrong, but would just say: don't expect it!
Thinking of poor Kathryn and that tooth. Must be a lot of discomfort for her.
Thinking also of Lynne2's swollen knee and no insurance.
Thinking of Tori and Robyn.
Thinking about GG and her airconditioner.
Sad about the FF Recruit that was20 yr. old with 7 mo old baby. Lynne2 said his body was pulled from the reservoir on Sunday afernoon. Prayers for his family and riends.
Thoughts also going through my head for Char Smith with her eyes.
Thanks Hedgie-Lynn for some good news. I'm so tired of thinking of everyone having bad problems. Don't get me wrong I love praying for those that need prayer. It is just so many need help. Lord take these and all request I may have forgotten and bring them answers. Amen
I like the "Eagle Rescued" lol on the 77 lbs.
Lori nice picture of juvie on PW Parkway.
Hope I find a comment where JudyE's stomach is much better.
Dana, I believe Ms. Anthony will be convicted but on a lesser charge, if that is an option given to the jury. I believe she is, at a minimum, complicit but so far I believe it is still not proven "beyond any reasonable doubt" that she actually caused the child's death. No evidence has been yet presented that makes that direct connection. So, when you are talking about recommending death, that direct connection is critical for a jury.
Robyn, thanks for keeping us updated. Prayers definitely continue for Tori. Agree that it is a good idea to let Damien experience some of what you go through too often. Might make him a bit more cautious in caring for her when she is with him.
Sounds like everyone os plans for the day. Liesl has a vet apptmt. this afternoon. I DO wish this weather would clear.
Yep, Lori the southern delegation is in Bluefield, WV, but their sister city is Bluefield,VA.....there IS a Bluemont, VA....in Loudon Co., not too far from Leesburg. There is also a Bluemont, WV, but I'm not sure what part of the state it's in!
Robyn's FB post 2 hrs. ago: . Tori's dad just called and mentioned they may be doing a bronchoscopy I will know more shortly, of course it wouldn't be her first but it still gets me nervous. I feel responsible as if I should have known all this was going on inside her...
Sorry for the concern Hedgie. I finally got insurance and went to the doctor. YAY! My hemoglobin is 9.9. They are referring me to the hematologist/oncologist I went to before for the iron infusions. They are also referring me to a GI doc, a cardiologist, and an oral surgeon for a place in my mouth. They did blood work, urinalysis, x-rays of my hip and back, and a post-void residual bladder scan. One stop shopping for a doctor.
THELMA, sorry to take so long getting back to you. Right after that last post this morning a big thunderstorm rolled through and I shut er' down. Looks like more storms will be here off and on through tomorrow. This is a slow and restful week for me, Yeah !
LORI, no prob, I know how busy you are when on the job. Am so looking forward to pics of the kitties ! It makes me smile to hear how delighted you are to have them !
Sharon, did they treat all of this as a malabsorption problem before? And now checking to make sure it's not more than that? So glad you have the insurance! That has to be a relief! Sure hope they get you straightened out, girlfriend!
LYNN, I'm giving the storms instructions to veer NNE heading out of Columbus, but can't guarantee they'll pay attention. Most seem to like the I70 corridor. The lightning and thunder with this last one was horrendous. Big booms that shook the house ! So far no news about damage and no sirens wailing.
Have just learned that Seth and Malcolm will be with me for a while tomorrow. Yeah ! Julie makes her own bar soap and doesn't like to have anyone around due to the heavy lye odor.
HELLO, TO YOU ALL... I haven't had time to read all of the blog, but did see that Miss Tori is hospitalized. That dear child has had so many bad days in the years past...praying that she will soon be able to have a cure for her ailment. It is time! ROBYN, hugs for you and Tori♥♥
Heading into GG's.
Oh, saw that Sharon is having a problem...will read about that when I come back. ((((HUGS, SHARON))))
When we have a lot going on, a Prayer List helps me make sure I'm not missing anyone. I hope it helps you, too; although, I know I didn't remember everyone.
PLEASE feel free to cut and paste and update as needed.
I have decided that the kindest thing I can say about the folks who predict the weather in my part of the world is that they are delusional and they need to find other jobs. We had temperatures in the eighties predicted for today. It is still posted as such...82 degrees today...yet it is only 64 degrees right now with wind and overcast skies not the sunny they said it was going to be....HURRRRMMMMMFFFF!!!
Happy Summer Solstice everyone...put your face up to the sun for me and enjoy what it feels like...Oh how I miss it this year...
Ok I am off to yoga, and then errands and will be back before I go to Dragon Boating...BBL
If I had been in the courtroom, I would have been thrown out. I have been sleeping while the trial plays on my television. I dreamed that I fell asleep in a classroom and the students were watching the trial.
I woke up with a very sore mouth, so I called the dentist and he said I should take 3 Advil tablets, so I did.
It is no surprise, considering all of the drilling that went on. I am sure I will be better soon.
Shirley, maybe you should take ome of Kat's Vicodin and go back to sleep! Ha----I would have been thrown out of the courtroom, too, but for different reasons!!! Think I would be LOL at Baez---especially with that inane argument before lunch! Judge told him off more politely than I would have!
I can borrow one of Kathryn's pills tonight if I need to, or I might get a prescription from the doctor if necessary. He said that he will call me at about 4:00 PM.
Liesl is having surgery Thurs. for tooth extractions...4 baby teeth that have not come out---stuff is getting trapped between them and the new teeth---vet pulled out ball fuzz. That's why her breath is so bad...and can lead to rapid decay whether food or fuzz as bacteria gets a foothold. Will have her micro-chipped at the same time.
To all my dog loving eagle friends. Lori are you there?? This is rather disgusting, yet hysterical all at the same time. I was out picking up the "dog business" in the back yard and I found...wait for it...a $20 bill in the poop. I just had to share.
Shirley, had you fallen asleep in court, the judge would have thrown you out. Snoring would have been totally unacceptable but a welcome relief from the comedy of errors playing out. Just take it easy and use the med. that will work best for your comfort.
Sharon, sure hope you will find some relief. Is this an unexpected consequence of the surgery? Fixable without too much difficulty?
So nice that Kelly has that option. I'm sure having him nearby will speed recovery.
Is Liesl having a routine checkup? Not sick, I hope.
Hoda, I have a terrific idea for how to cope with your weatherpersons. Move to the East coast and be closer to us. I'm sure you enjoyed the yoga and will enjoy the Dragon Boats.
Kay, nice you will have Seth and Malcolm again for a visit. I cannot imagine making soap. Soap comes in a package found in a grocery store.
Wanda, don't forget to give us a GG report. Also, I forget, is soup kitchen next week?
Okay, going to put my feet up. Speaking of which, Jo is tardy checking in this afternoon.
Yes, I cleaned it. Ran it under the water. I have to tape it back together.While that was going on I went back out to the yard and found pieces of a $10. bill. I am not joking. Gives new meaning to these dogs costing me money. The 10 was in pieces and I didn't even try. Now to get one of the kids to own up to losing the money~! HA it's mine now!
SO, I had a dream that I was feeding the local Sasquatch empty toilet paper rolls. However, he became very aggressive and dangerous so I had to ask Steve to use Buford to shoot him. WHAT does that mean?????
ROFL, DanaMo!! Finders keepers!!! Sometimes it pays to be a pooper-scooper! Yep, totally washable! You could have a lot of fun with that.....who's missing $20??!!!
well, Steve has been watching some show called Searching for Big Foot. I think it is entirely POSSIBLE that they exist, but I am disturbed by the show people looking for them. Because it would only mean certain disaster for them if they were to be found. Because there are real idiots out there who would do them harm, no doubt. Maybe the dream was about my concern for the destruction of them!
oh isn't though? I just cannot imagine.....I am so glad the dog has a new family, and I sure hope she adjusts well and won't hold on to her grief too long.
Baez is sooooo annoying. He's turning his own witness into a hostile witness with his sarcastic tone. The witness has gone from somewhat credible to a grinning buffoon. IMHO
I'm back home after errands, drs. appt., lunch and re-talking to people about the little chihuahua running loose in my development. Re-encouraging them to put out water and food for him. Per Animal Control.
I just learned something new you know the links we post on her well you can forward them in an email I just thought it worked on the blog but it is universal but I suppose you knew that I send on to my email peeps the links that we wee on the blog also that way ok BBL LM
Yes, Kay, I took Liesl in because of the bad breath. Trainer and I both agreed that a puppy should not have breath that bad---and she suspected teeth.....and she was right! Because she is still new to this brushing routine, I can't get in right to do an up and down motion---just back and forth....so brush did not pull out that ball fuzz---yucky!
DanaMo---story is getting better and better!
Lynne---I, too, believe full-heartedly in Sasquatch, Big Foot, Yeti.....as well as the Loch Ness Monster....and even Mothman! But agree that efforts to find and or catch is wrong! Set up trail cams and capture photos and then forget about them! But, yeah, your dream is strange! And don't forget what they say about big feet---they are a firm foundation!
Hi all! Have not read the blog yet. Can not believe that I have not been on all day. Busy day!
Have a great story to tell you! I was out in the front yard with the water hose in my hand. Heard a bird disturbance...nothing unusual. They I saw a roadrunner running up the side of a large oak tree 10' from me. Too funny! Then suddenly he flew to the ground with a large lizard in it's beak. It ran down the front yard to the road where it proceeded to beat the lizard to death on the road. It was amazing! Jack drove up when the roadrunner was in the middle of the road. I pointed it out to me and told him what happened. He was upset....said he freaquently talked to that lizard. OMG Jack, he who talks to lizards!!!!
Really have to call the gutter cleaner/fixer guy. Three nails about to pop out. Gutter is about to come down. Way to high up for us to get to. Will take a tall ladder.
Lynn, everyone, I'll as Friend Dave to email me the picture and post it myself. Sorry....I guess his settings don't allow other people's friends to see his stuff.
SHIRLEY, my assessment of the witness turns out to have been harsh. He's been great at coming back at the smart alecky Baez. Hard to believe this witness was called by the defense, by the way he's been treated.
Lynn, on his way home from work one dark night this past winter, Steve saw glowing eyes on the side of the road about 12 feet up and he was convinced it was a SASQUATCH! I think it was more likely and owl on a branch....but, in FLA they call them Skunk Monkey because there, they have a skunky smell. And sometimes, just for a moment, when we smell skunk out here......oooooOOOOOooooOOOOOO!
LOLLY to cool a road runner and the cartoon song comes to mind right about now Oh no is lizard is gone and talking to them is ok I talk to mine and the squirrels and the birds I talk out loud often LOL I think it is just thinking out loud also
Saw my neurologist/pain specialist yesterday. Geez! It's the same pain I had before but he wants an x-ray before giving me any injection. I know he's right since I've fallen since I saw him last, but I was hoping for quick relief.
Lynne, love your new avatar. Sure hope you can find a doctor to treat your knee(s) SOON! Also, am waiting for a pix of that old tool. Our local newspaper has an article once a month about old tools and asks for readers to send in their ideas. Some I know, some I don't, but love history.
Lynn, poor Liesl. All the talk about people dentistry lately and now you have a pet with some of the same trouble (dental).
Shirley, this is no way to begin your retirement. Speedy healing for you and Kathryn. Stress could contribute to the TMJ.
Dr Sharma, my vet at Randallstown Job has given me some Yoga moves for my knees. Have to start SLOW, and not be IMPATIENT. Still continuing better eating so I can get lighter.

I wonder if he will return with BELLE in tow
I hope they both come...hope KAY is resting. MEGAN you up? MARGY?
LORI Neat picture of eagle on road some peeps are just lucky to see
I would have flipped if I had seen it. But the guy who took the pic didn't ask any questions, so I don't know if it was injured or what since it is just sitting there.
Figured we would all keep an eye out to see if he/she ends up at WCV or somewhere.
HE just wasn't as inquisitive as one of us would have been I would have asked so many questions as I m sure all on the blog would have
I wonder if there is a nest nearby and he just fell out of it ??
Hey I was wondering you know the eagles nest that was just found with four eaglets Do you think they will put a camera on it for next year?????
That was a 10 MIN visit 515 to 525
color on nest
now all we need is two eagles
Great ideas JUDYE! Wish they had a cam on the 4 eaglet nest this year, but who knew?
Ah, we have 4 eaglets anyway now at WCV.
Yes, I'd have ask a billion ?'s if I had stumbled up on that eaglet. There were two guys standing there protecting it. Someone knew something. And when it comes to eagles we want to know everything!!! :)
So much easier to see now. That early morning under the infrared, with low light gets tough.
I guess all the others decided to sleep in
JUDYE - what do you think of the Supreme Court rejecting the women's sex discrimination lawsuit against WalMart?
Well I have been working there 21 years and really haven't seen any discrimination at all We are on a pay scale so it would be impossible to pay each sex different money I have seen women being picked on more but not discriminated against
Example of picking Nancy my new dept mgr was told she couldn't go to lunch until all the features in action alley were full That would have never been said to a man
Judy - I call that DISCRIMINATION, treating men and women differently. That's not right.
YEP and they are keeping notes about it like a diary
Amy was a dept mgr in sporting good and was off on a holiday weekend Her dept was trashed and she was blamed for it she was then made as a cashier she stepped down instead of being written up something like that now she is back on the floor in produce
overslept...missed it. I guess I am still catching up on my sleep from last week. I can't believe how much I am sleeping. Glad I have a routine doctor appointment on Friday.
Is it raining at the nest??? I just think I hear drops And GOOD MORNING SLEEPY HEAD DANAMO
JUDYE - Megan would have a better report on if it's raining or not.
But, don't you let them treat you that way. I get a feeling though that you wouldn't! lol!
DANAMO - so funny that everyone says "routine Dr. appointment" lest get everyone upset about something being wrong.
It does look like some big rain drops, or big eagle turds that just passed directly in front of the camera. :)
Like I said they don't seem to mess with me at work at all but I do year stories but they may just be stories
Hey the water temps in gulf is 90 yuky bath water just said on the weather
Yes, too funny! Don't want anyone to get overly concerned.
I am a sleepy head. I think I have slept more than I have been awake since I have returned. I'm not getting anything accomplished in the house at all. I have tons of school stuff that I want to work on over the summer. We will see how much of it I get done. I thought I would sort papers at the pool or in front of the TV but I haven't looked at it at all!
EWW BIG TURDS
Yep I just saw a big drop also
hmm...90 is too warm for the pool?
Ok gonna say bye HAGD see you at lunch
Radar shows rain in Hagerstown, but it's not hitting the ground because it is not raining here.
HAGD Judy. See you at lunch. ((big goodbye hug))
KAY are you lurking? Or have you taken your invisible dog for his first morning call? Excuse me. I know his name is Casper.
oh I can hear the rain on the cam. Nice calming sound...
Now the rain is here. Maybe I should go back to bed! Ha Ha
Good Morning Eagle Pals
I think I need a new alarm clock
Read the nest reports, Truder no Belle eh? yep, that rain sound is nice...but the sound cuts in and out
Last "Spring Morning..."
DanaMo
Sounds like you should take this week to recover and relax and recupe....
all the things you want to do will still be there next week ☺
nest is going to be soggy
rain sounds nice
sounds keep cutting in and out for me though
I couldn't smell the coffee, Morning GLori
I think that's why I didn't get up ☺
Hi MARGY! So happy you're here!
Thanks Lori...always good to see you also ☺
those tulips on Kay's avatar sure look nice...☺
guess she couldn't smell the coffee either
the one lone Goshawk is still in the nest, Kay...when you check in
Lolly
when you check in,
remember to check ISS flyovers for during your trip...you will have to put in the zip code for your campsite area...(and then print it out!)
looks like we will start getting late night flyovers hereabouts on June 24
much as I'd like to spend all the daylight hours outside on this Summer Solstice day, I can't do that working 8-4 today :(
and time to start getting ready for that now...
Shirley will have you in my prayers this morning for your dentist appointment
Best wishes for a Good Day, Everyone...Safe, Healthy, Joyful
Hope to read sometime today about Robyn's Tori
ttfn xo ♥
Wow, none of you have been on here for the last hour ? Good report on Truder's nest call.
While that was going on I was going through all kinds of machinations in the attempt to get on line. Kept getting a strange At&T message and their advice to reboot. Did that, still no go. I looked to see if Casper had jarred a connection loose or had chewed into the wiring. NOT ! Finally threw the ball to Norton for a full system scan and went back to bed.
LORI, great pic of the juvie in the median. I'm thinking it fledged, but landed in a strange spot and didn't know what to do. Sometimes they get carried away and disoriented, like the NBG eaglet last year who had to be rescued from the pond after landing in it on one of his first flights.
JUDYE is our tea drinker, I just helped myself to the last of the coffee. {{{{LORI}}}}}
I absolutely agree Lori.
Hi Magpie.
MARGY, thanks for the Goshawk report ! The chick we lost there must have been the middle child. Seems a long span in development between the two who made it.
Good morning THELMA ! What's up in your neck of the woods ?
PA NANA, glad you enjoy our morning chatter !
Darn it KAY - I've asked the computer gods NOT to give you any problems. Glad you're okay!
THELMA - Hello! Hey, is Bluemont in WV or Virginia? Kate went to a wedding over the weekend off Rt 7 in Bluemont, VA. An extra treat for Buddy please. :)
Yes, KAY, those tulips look so nice on you.
LOLLY are you leaving Thursday or Friday? Sorry, CRS. :)
DANAMO, I'm not surprised you need some extra zzz's after the busy time you've just gone through ! Hope the doc appt. is truly nuttin' but "routine" !
SHIRLEY, sending positive vibes your way as you settle into the dentist's chair. !
Prayers again this morning for ROBYN's dear TORI ! Also thinking of you LYNNE and praying you'll find the medical help you need for that inflamed knee, at an afforable price.
Make that "affordable" price.
LORI, what's the latest on Bobby and Alvin ?
Just realized I had a senior moment. JUDYE is the one who only drinks Hazelnut Coffee. LYNN is a tea drinker, but she rarely makes it to the SSCC. So, guess I don't know who is using all those teabags, LORI !
Interesting nest info from NBG moderator:
Congowings: Bald eagles are compulsive nest builders and show strong fidelity to nest sites, many times using the same nest each year - or building others close by. Since eagles are large birds and are long-lived, the nest size must be in proportion and accommodate years of use. Nests are rarely built in the topmost branches of the host tree, but a bit lower since the upper boughs can’t support the huge structure the eagles build. The eagles usually start the nest with some major branches with forks in them about 12 feet from the top. If the stick placement sticks, the pair will continue to bring in sticks. Smaller branches will form the rim of the inside bowl and the spaces are filled in with smaller vegetation including grasses and pine. They will continue to add nesting material throughout the nesting season as the activity of the young will require repairs.
Okay, looks like THELMA had no time for chit chat or answering questions. And, LORI must be dealing with all those details that come at the end of her work day. HAGD all ! BBL
I am trying to get things done - sorry KAY.
BUT, so glad you asked about Bobby and Alvin!
Kate set up a pen for them to play in last night. They are so cute, cute, cute, cute! Just adorable.
Yes, I took pictures but it was too late (for me) to post them.
Of course, I had to post that eaglet picture this morning. Eagles can't wait. Wait until you see Bobby & Alvin, though. Kittens are like happy pills!
What did we have Momsters up
all night. Diann 1:03am Andy closed at 1:04am
Lori comes on 2:13am
Good Morning Lori, JudyE, DanaMo,
Margy, Kay, Thelma, and lurkers.
I have a regular doctors appt.
Have to be there by 11:30 but
have errands to run before that.
Thank you all so much for all the comments on our nest. Don't have a chance to read them all now.
Not much here Kay. What about you?
Good morning, everyone.
Missed the eagles this morning as every morning.
Lynne2, I also could not open the mystery "thing." But good morning to you just the same.
Shirley, I know you are undergoing the root canal as I type but thinking of you and hope you'll feel fine when you read this.
Hi Wanda, please send some of your rain to Lolly. Would love to have some of those vegetables. Nothing here yet.
Good morning to Casper. Be nice to your Mom today.
Hope to get an update on Bobby and Alvin. Oh, I see we will have pictures later of the happy pills. Thanks, Lori.
Lolly, so nice you had an enjoyable anniversary dinner.
DanaWV have an easy routine checkup today. No troubles, please.
Lari, thanks for the juvie picture. Maybe just a less-than-successful first flight. U.S. Park Service might know the outcome.
Two on a branch at Decorah. Three were there late yesterday at near dark.
Can't see much at NBG but eaglets are gong to have new living arrangements.
Going to read the newspaper and watch the trial. Watching the trial is, of course, work related.
BBL
Lolly Thank you so very much for the seeds of the "Texas Gold Columbine". I will take you advice and talk with Wanda. To see when and how she planted hers. The picture of the yellow flower is gorgeous!!!! Thank you so very much ( :
If you haven't seen the picture I posted of the eaglet at 2:35 this morning, what's your opinion? I checked WCV and they haven't admitted an eaglet that they've written up yet. Fledging gone awry?
That would be Lori not Lari. My bad!
Lori-Have not seen a Bluemont in my areas of VA or WV. Okay, I will give Buddy an extra treat. Like he needs another one. : )
WV DANA, that's what Kay and Thelma think - bad first flight. I hope it's nothing more serious.
Good luck with your "routine" doctors appointment. ♥
Hi everyone and thanks for keeping Tori in your thoughts and prayers.
Tori's dad is in town and is staying with her in PICU down in DC he flies out tomorrow so I felt it best he spend the time with her so he can understand what she goes thru and know this is not something to take lightly.
Tori's body is in full exhaustion, her heart rate is 122 at rest, her resp is avg 50/60 which is somewhat normal for her. She had strep a few weeks ago and I am wondering if the strep wasn't completely cured or maybe it was something I overlooked. We will know more today they may perform a bronchoscopy on her. They did many tests one was a blood gas which came back good we are still awaiting infection and bloodwork tests.
I will let you all know more as I find out
No problem Judie!
Hello Lolly!
Sorry Themla, I was thinking it was Bluemont where you live.
Good Morning Judie. Of course that trial would be work related for you. I sometimes wonder what you think the outcome of it will be?
Prayers for Shirley at the dentist.
Can't wait to see the pictures of Kay's two kittens.
Thank you Robyn, appreciate the update, am sorry for the illness and discomfort for Tori, and the worry for all of you
You know we are still praying
If you need any help with anything...let me know...
xoxo (( Hugs ♥)) for you and Tori
xoxo
Good Morning all the More Morning Eagle Pals
back to the other computers now and the telephones and the emergencies here at work
xo
Good Morning everyone!
Robyn, that for keeping us updated on Tori! Prayers are still being offered up and will continue until Tori comes on home.
Have a lunch date and also it is
Tuesday - my Kristen day.
Blogger made me sign in!
Hi Thelma - how is Mattie's finger
Good morning! Dreary here again...still.....rained most of the night.
Lori, great pic of the juvie that Kate's friend got! Ceil sees adults often on the Pkwy, so bet it's is one of their fledglings!!
Oh, such precious memory of Hidey making self-love to the cam!!!!
JudyE---I strongly doubt that there will be a cam on that 4-eaglet nest.....I think it's a rather remote area along the river....could be wrong, but would just say: don't expect it!
Lori----you're a reporter! Call MD highways and ASK about that eaglet!!!
Lori - your personal blog is exceptional - the pics are so
clear and 'crisp'! The vultures
are so very interesting!
Thinking of poor Kathryn and that tooth. Must be a lot of discomfort for her.
Thinking also of Lynne2's swollen knee and no insurance.
Thinking of Tori and Robyn.
Thinking about GG and her airconditioner.
Sad about the FF Recruit that was20 yr. old with 7 mo old baby. Lynne2 said his body was pulled from the reservoir on Sunday afernoon. Prayers for his family and riends.
Thoughts also going through my head for Char Smith with her eyes.
Thanks Hedgie-Lynn for some good news. I'm so tired of thinking of everyone having bad problems. Don't get me wrong I love praying for those that need prayer. It is just so many need help. Lord take these and all request I may have forgotten and bring them answers. Amen
I like the "Eagle Rescued" lol on the 77 lbs.
Lori nice picture of juvie on PW Parkway.
Hope I find a comment where JudyE's stomach is much better.
Hope Kay is walking Casper this morning?
Ok leaving to run errands and dr appt.
Take Care everyone later
Hi,
Home from dentist. It was not too bad, but I am going to take a nap and let the numbness wear off.
BBL.
Decorah - and then there was one.
Lori, thinking of Bluefield?
Dana, I believe Ms. Anthony will be convicted but on a lesser charge, if that is an option given to the jury. I believe she is, at a minimum, complicit but so far I believe it is still not proven "beyond any reasonable doubt" that she actually caused the child's death. No evidence has been yet presented that makes that direct connection. So, when you are talking about recommending death, that direct connection is critical for a jury.
Robyn, thank you so much for the update on Tori. Still sending prayers for her and for you that she recovers quickly.
Hi Jo, happy Kristen day and enjoy your lunch date.
Shirley, glad you are home and can take some time to rest. Hope there will be some help later on if you need it.
Lynn, overcast and humid here. Had wet pavement this morning. Staying inside.
Oh, blogger cop made me sign in this morning, also. You would think by now that stupid blogger cop would know us. Must have halfsheimers.
BTTT - back to the trial.
Robyn, thanks for keeping us updated. Prayers definitely continue for Tori. Agree that it is a good idea to let Damien experience some of what you go through too often. Might make him a bit more cautious in caring for her when she is with him.
Sounds like everyone os plans for the day. Liesl has a vet apptmt. this afternoon. I DO wish this weather would clear.
Yep, Lori the southern delegation is in Bluefield, WV, but their sister city is Bluefield,VA.....there IS a Bluemont, VA....in Loudon Co., not too far from Leesburg. There is also a Bluemont, WV, but I'm not sure what part of the state it's in!
Now Shar has Mattie at a medical center, per FB post.....wonder what's happening???
Robyn's FB post 2 hrs. ago: . Tori's dad just called and mentioned they may be doing a bronchoscopy I will know more shortly, of course it wouldn't be her first but it still gets me nervous. I feel responsible as if I should have known all this was going on inside her...
Keep praying, M's & D's!
Here is you r permission to indulge: today is Milkshake Day...."who'd of thunk it?"
Shirley, sleep it off....hope you don't wake with too much discomfort.
Sorry for the concern Hedgie. I finally got insurance and went to the doctor. YAY! My hemoglobin is 9.9. They are referring me to the hematologist/oncologist I went to before for the iron infusions. They are also referring me to a GI doc, a cardiologist, and an oral surgeon for a place in my mouth. They did blood work, urinalysis, x-rays of my hip and back, and a post-void residual bladder scan. One stop shopping for a doctor.
Sharon, what are they looking for??? Sounds like broad-scope testing! Have you been feeling poorly??
OK KAY you caught me I used the tea bags to make ice tea LOL
Lynn - fatigue, craving ice, palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, all typical of my symptoms with iron deficiency anemia.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
GooD MorN tO you aLL.
wwwwwwwwwwwwwww
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
WVAGALDANA I am all better well so to speak the tummy part is gone had to have been the turkey for BM
Back to work I go
THELMA, sorry to take so long getting back to you. Right after that last post this morning a big thunderstorm rolled through and I shut er' down. Looks like more storms will be here off and on through tomorrow. This is a slow and restful week for me, Yeah !
LORI, no prob, I know how busy you are when on the job. Am so looking forward to pics of the kitties ! It makes me smile to hear how delighted you are to have them !
ROBYN, relieved to see you posting and appreciate the update on dear TORI ! Continual prayers are with her and you, too ! Keep us posted !
LYNN, interesting report on the rescued eagle--LOL 77 lbs., no wonder his wing is injured !!!!
PENGUIN IN NEW ZEALAND
Good morning eveyone. I thought this an interesting story. Happy Solstice...
Sharon, did they treat all of this as a malabsorption problem before? And now checking to make sure it's not more than that? So glad you have the insurance! That has to be a relief! Sure hope they get you straightened out, girlfriend!
Kay, please don't send storms here!
SHARON, adding you to the prayer list ! Hope the docs come up with answers quickly and that there are easy fixes for each symptom. ♥♥♥
JUDYE, LOL, the teabags ! I love ice tea, drink it year round !
It is malabsorption from the gastric bypass.
LYNN, I'm giving the storms instructions to veer NNE heading out of Columbus, but can't guarantee they'll pay attention. Most seem to like the I70 corridor. The lightning and thunder with this last one was horrendous. Big booms that shook the house ! So far no news about damage and no sirens wailing.
Have just learned that Seth and Malcolm will be with me for a while tomorrow. Yeah ! Julie makes her own bar soap and doesn't like to have anyone around due to the heavy lye odor.
KAY - I think Julie & I are twins. I've always wanted to make soap! Did you give me up at birth and keep her?
LOL!
HELLO, TO YOU ALL...
I haven't had time to read all of the blog, but did see that Miss Tori is hospitalized. That dear child has had so many bad days in the years past...praying that she will soon be able to have a cure for her ailment. It is time!
ROBYN, hugs for you and Tori♥♥
Heading into GG's.
Oh, saw that Sharon is having a problem...will read about that when I come back. ((((HUGS, SHARON))))
LORI...you are a HOOT!:)
♥ MOMSTER PRAYER LIST ♥
When we have a lot going on, a Prayer List helps me make sure I'm not missing anyone. I hope it helps you, too; although, I know I didn't remember everyone.
PLEASE feel free to cut and paste and update as needed.
♥ ---------------♥
SHARON - seeing many doctors to see if iron deficiency anemia has returned. Many more medical tests to go.
TORI - Robyn's daughter who is hospitalized in Pediatric ICU in DC with breathing difficulties and possible infection.
Sharon's friend DANA - who has been diagnosed with many illnesses recently including fibromyalgia and MS.
LYNNE AND STEVE - both need jobs that provide/offer health insurance.
WANDA's Mother, GG - Needs new AC unit.
Hoda, good story about the poor wayward penquin.
I have decided that the kindest thing I can say about the folks who predict the weather in my part of the world is that they are delusional and they need to find other jobs. We had temperatures in the eighties predicted for today. It is still posted as such...82 degrees today...yet it is only 64 degrees right now with wind and overcast skies not the sunny they said it was going to be....HURRRRMMMMMFFFF!!!
Happy Summer Solstice everyone...put your face up to the sun for me and enjoy what it feels like...Oh how I miss it this year...
Ok I am off to yoga, and then errands and will be back before I go to Dragon Boating...BBL
Aw, Lori, that's a good list.....need to add Lynne's and Wanda knees to theirs! Both are suffering.....
Did you see my BLUE info for you, Lori?
LORI, you and Julie share many of the same interests, that's for sure ! No wonder you and I get along so well !
Thanks for the prayer list ! Well done ! I'm adding them to my personal list which also includes:
LYNNE, WANDA and JUDIE, for ongoing orthopedic woes.
SHIRLEY, JUDIE and Shirley's Kathryn for dental/jaw problems.
Hello,
If I had been in the courtroom, I would have been thrown out. I have been sleeping while the trial plays on my television. I dreamed that I fell asleep in a classroom and the students were watching the trial.
I woke up with a very sore mouth, so I called the dentist and he said I should take 3 Advil tablets, so I did.
It is no surprise, considering all of the drilling that went on. I am sure I will be better soon.
Shirley, maybe you should take ome of Kat's Vicodin and go back to sleep! Ha----I would have been thrown out of the courtroom, too, but for different reasons!!! Think I would be LOL at Baez---especially with that inane argument before lunch! Judge told him off more politely than I would have!
Almost time to head for Vet.
Sun is out....it is SO humid....but temp only up to 84° so far. I am having to empty basement dehumidier twice a day. PIA!
I can borrow one of Kathryn's pills tonight if I need to, or I might get a prescription from the doctor if necessary. He said that he will call me at about 4:00 PM.
I am afraid I slept through that part, Lynn.
Hmmmm....astronaut Mark Kelly is retiring from NASA and the Navy to be by Gabby's side as she goes forward with recuperation/rehabilitation.
I now have George and Susie, who are Alvin, Simon and Theodore's cousins. Five chipmunks out here.
BBL. Enjoy your afternoon. I should be home in time for tea!
Wow---I'm back and no one is here!
It has been very quiet, Lynn.
Liesl is having surgery Thurs. for tooth extractions...4 baby teeth that have not come out---stuff is getting trapped between them and the new teeth---vet pulled out ball fuzz. That's why her breath is so bad...and can lead to rapid decay whether food or fuzz as bacteria gets a foothold. Will have her micro-chipped at the same time.
Oh, poor little Liesl, Lynn. She is lucky to have such a good mom.
To all my dog loving eagle friends. Lori are you there?? This is rather disgusting, yet hysterical all at the same time. I was out picking up the "dog business" in the back yard and I found...wait for it...a $20 bill in the poop. I just had to share.
So a doggy ate a twenty? Hmm, it can be cleaned.
Time for my afternoon visit.
Shirley, had you fallen asleep in court, the judge would have thrown you out. Snoring would have been totally unacceptable but a welcome relief from the comedy of errors playing out. Just take it easy and use the med. that will work best for your comfort.
Sharon, sure hope you will find some relief. Is this an unexpected consequence of the surgery? Fixable without too much difficulty?
So nice that Kelly has that option. I'm sure having him nearby will speed recovery.
Is Liesl having a routine checkup? Not sick, I hope.
Hoda, I have a terrific idea for how to cope with your weatherpersons. Move to the East coast and be closer to us. I'm sure you enjoyed the yoga and will enjoy the Dragon Boats.
Kay, nice you will have Seth and Malcolm again for a visit. I cannot imagine making soap. Soap comes in a package found in a grocery store.
Wanda, don't forget to give us a GG report. Also, I forget, is soup kitchen next week?
Okay, going to put my feet up. Speaking of which, Jo is tardy checking in this afternoon.
BBL
NBG enclosure being cleaned and eaglets reassigned to different roosts.
And one remains at Decorah chirping for attention.
Phoebe's babes are looking very pretty in the sunlight.
Our nest MT
BBL I mean it this time
Check out these memories of a year ago:
Hope
Yes, I cleaned it. Ran it under the water. I have to tape it back together.While that was going on I went back out to the yard and found pieces of a $10. bill. I am not joking. Gives new meaning to these dogs costing me money. The 10 was in pieces and I didn't even try. Now to get one of the kids to own up to losing the money~! HA it's mine now!
20 in a pile of poop maybe I should go in to that business of doggie poopie picker uper LOL too funny
afternoon all!
Poor little Liesl! That's a very common problem in really small dogs.
Sorry for you mouth woes Shirley!
Praying for everyone on the prayer list!
SO, I had a dream that I was feeding the local Sasquatch empty toilet paper rolls. However, he became very aggressive and dangerous so I had to ask Steve to use Buford to shoot him. WHAT does that mean?????
wow cameras are acting up big time
get the tissues out....
Last Farewell
ROFL, DanaMo!! Finders keepers!!!
Sometimes it pays to be a pooper-scooper! Yep, totally washable!
You could have a lot of fun with that.....who's missing $20??!!!
LYNN, did you take Liesl in for the bad breath ? Glad the vet is going to take care of the problem and that she is to be micro-chipped !
DANAMO, LOL, for all you know the dog swallowed a $50 or $100 bill and you are just going through the change !
LYNNE, adorable avatar ! My dream interpretation is: You have a Big Foot Fetish.
My delete, posted same thing before and after Blogger Cop got me.
well, Steve has been watching some show called Searching for Big Foot. I think it is entirely POSSIBLE that they exist, but I am disturbed by the show people looking for them. Because it would only mean certain disaster for them if they were to be found. Because there are real idiots out there who would do them harm, no doubt. Maybe the dream was about my concern for the destruction of them!
and that by feeding it, I caused it's demise.
or perhaps that nervous breakdown is finally happening.....LOL!
LYNNE, oh my, Last Farewell, took care of the tear ducts for today ! How touching.
oh isn't though? I just cannot imagine.....I am so glad the dog has a new family, and I sure hope she adjusts well and won't hold on to her grief too long.
LYNNE, perhaps I should have said, you may have a BIG foot fetish !☺
I do have rather big feet....size 11!!
Hubby is home, BBL!
LYNN I need more tissue OH that was so sweet and so sad and yet so happy all in one I posted on facebook LOVED IT
Storm nearby....may have to shut down soon....
Baez is sooooo annoying. He's turning his own witness into a hostile witness with his sarcastic tone. The witness has gone from somewhat credible to a grinning buffoon. IMHO
Sorry LYNN, did not want to send the storms your way, but they had a mind of their own.:(
I'm back home after errands, drs. appt., lunch and re-talking to people about the little chihuahua running loose in my development. Re-encouraging them to put out water and food for him. Per Animal Control.
I hear thunder...
I just learned something new you know the links we post on her well you can forward them in an email I just thought it worked on the blog but it is universal but I suppose you knew that I send on to my email peeps the links that we wee on the blog also that way ok BBL LM
Not for sure what the we wee was LOL
Yes, Kay, I took Liesl in because of the bad breath. Trainer and I both agreed that a puppy should not have breath that bad---and she suspected teeth.....and she was right!
Because she is still new to this brushing routine, I can't get in right to do an up and down motion---just back and forth....so brush did not pull out that ball fuzz---yucky!
DanaMo---story is getting better and better!
Lynne---I, too, believe full-heartedly in Sasquatch, Big Foot, Yeti.....as well as the Loch Ness Monster....and even Mothman! But agree that efforts to find and or catch is wrong! Set up trail cams and capture photos and then forget about them! But, yeah, your dream is strange! And don't forget what they say about big feet---they are a firm foundation!
Lynne---don't forget to try to let us see that picture of an unknown tool!!!
Oohhh...shutting down! BBL.
Too funny Kay! Could be for all I know.
Okay, this blog is going downhill, from poop to wee wee.
I have slept most of the day. I wonder if Hunter's ball game is going to happen tonight. It is getting very cloudy.
Hi all! Have not read the blog yet. Can not believe that I have not been on all day. Busy day!
Have a great story to tell you! I was out in the front yard with the water hose in my hand. Heard a bird disturbance...nothing unusual. They I saw a roadrunner running up the side of a large oak tree 10' from me. Too funny! Then suddenly he flew to the ground with a large lizard in it's beak. It ran down the front yard to the road where it proceeded to beat the lizard to death on the road. It was amazing! Jack drove up when the roadrunner was in the middle of the road. I pointed it out to me and told him what happened. He was upset....said he freaquently talked to that lizard. OMG Jack, he who talks to lizards!!!!
Dentist did call me to check on my pain. I appreciate it.
Gee, if there are 20's in dog poop, we might have something going on around here.
Yeah, that lawyer does not seem to know how to ask questions.
I think I heard thunder. I am going to check the radar.
Really have to call the gutter cleaner/fixer guy. Three nails about to pop out. Gutter is about to come down. Way to high up for us to get to. Will take a tall ladder.
Just read your post, Margy. GREAT idea about checking for the ISS flyovers in CO. Will do just that this evening. Thank you!☺
We are heading out for a while.
BBL
Rain headed this way on radar. Not a bad storm, just rain.
storms popping up, coming from the northesat.
Lynn, everyone, I'll as Friend Dave to email me the picture and post it myself. Sorry....I guess his settings don't allow other people's friends to see his stuff.
aw, poor lizard, but what an interesting thing to witness Lolly!
SHIRLEY, my assessment of the witness turns out to have been harsh. He's been great at coming back at the smart alecky Baez. Hard to believe this witness was called by the defense, by the way he's been treated.
Lynn, on his way home from work one dark night this past winter, Steve saw glowing eyes on the side of the road about 12 feet up and he was convinced it was a SASQUATCH! I think it was more likely and owl on a branch....but, in FLA they call them Skunk Monkey because there, they have a skunky smell. And sometimes, just for a moment, when we smell skunk out here......oooooOOOOOooooOOOOOO!
I'd pee myself if I saw one. I'll probably pee myself when I finally see a bear!
LOLLY to cool a road runner and the cartoon song comes to mind right about now Oh no is lizard is gone and talking to them is ok I talk to mine and the squirrels and the birds I talk out loud often LOL I think it is just thinking out loud also
Need to shut down..storm is here.
DANAWV....did your bluebirds build a nest???
Speaking of BBs, HELLO NC SUZ if you are lurking!
OH! I almost forgot...IRENE!!!! SO VERY COOL that you are moving to Montana!!! You GO girl!
that puts me in mind of a Frank Zappa song...something like I'm going to Montana to be a dental floss technician
Good afternoon/evening everyone.
Just a quick hello before supper is ready.
Saw my neurologist/pain specialist yesterday. Geez! It's the same pain I had before but he wants an x-ray before giving me any injection. I know he's right since I've fallen since I saw him last, but I was hoping for quick relief.
Lynne, love your new avatar. Sure hope you can find a doctor to treat your knee(s) SOON! Also, am waiting for a pix of that old tool.
Our local newspaper has an article once a month about old tools and asks for readers to send in their ideas. Some I know, some I don't, but love history.
Lynn, poor Liesl. All the talk about people dentistry lately and now you have a pet with some of the same trouble (dental).
Shirley, this is no way to begin your retirement. Speedy healing for you and Kathryn. Stress could contribute to the TMJ.
Supper bell is ringing... bbl
Hello Diann! I just emailed Dave to ask him to email the pictures directly to me. Hopefully he'll get it done soon!
Dr Sharma, my vet at Randallstown Job has given me some Yoga moves for my knees. Have to start SLOW, and not be IMPATIENT. Still continuing better eating so I can get lighter.
Lynn, the picture that the 10 year old is raffling off....how do I get some tickets? That is just too precious of her!
How is the weather at the nest is it raining I have no sound on my cam for some reason so I can't hear if there is rain drops on the cam
It does look like it is raining I see rain drops
WOW big ones sideways rain drops
I wonder why I have no sound anyone else out there no sound
