«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 731 Newer› Newest»NBG says they have a big announcement coming at 4pm....wonder what it could be???
Time for a BLT. Hunter likes them without the B. I find that very strange.
Can't imagine what it might be, Lynn.
On the Still cam I can see the entire nest!! Leaves are being blown in the
right direction!
I hope they have some pics of Norfolk Daddy with a new mate and visiting the garden frequently !
JO
yOU ARE SO RIGHT...
LIKE A CURTAIN BEING PULLED ASIDE
Jo and LYNN I feel so honoured...we will meet when it is time and God keep us all in HIS grace in the mean time.
Thank you.
Shirley, most of the viewers of NBG eagles think that it will be that Dad
has found a new mate... one viewer said
"They were matched on eagleHarmony"
That is so right, Hoda!
Margy - great for an entrance now of
B & T - The stage is set!
I need lunch - BBILW
This is the son of the former Premier of Newfoundland.
Don't Drink and Drive
I feel so sad for all involved.
Nice coverage on the news of yesterday's eagle release. WooHoo---Ed Clark says between 800-900 nesting pairs in the Commonwealth!! Had been as few as 30 in 1970!
HODA, that is so sad and so often repeated everywhere. Which young man is son of the former Premier ? Does each province have a Premier and is the post comparable to our State Governors ?
KAY Yes a Premier is the same as a US Governor. The young man in the picture, Jack Tobin, is the son Of the former Premier.
Good Afternoon Eagle Friends and Lurkers.
Jo what is the TinyURL?
Isn't that what we are doing?
Well as far as bird feeding. Some
of the seed that would stick in
the bottom before putting in new.
I would knock out on the ground.
Really miss my birds but skunks
have been coming around.
Judie you lucky gal "saw 5 juvie
eagles soaring overhead". Ohhhh
Yes Iris has a son that lives in
Georgia. They go visit there every year. Iris has talked about giving up the house in Florida for about 2 yrs. now. I guess the time has come.
Prayers for Robyn and Tori
heading to Colorado.
Lolly I am glad Jack is back
to being himself.
Paula you ankle and foot sounds
like it looks terrible. So glad
you are able to walk on it. Take
it easy gal.
Wanda your knee is still on my
prayer list.
Lori safe travels and have a FUN trip.
It was good to see Linda dropped in.Glad Lori was there and Lynne2 dropped in for Linda.
Prayers continue for Linda and her
family and Billy's wife. Prayers
that God will intervene in the
tiffs that are occuring.
Again thanks to the Momster who sent
the flowers to Linda. I too would like
to donate. You have my email address.
DanaMo Prayers for your friends
hearts that are aching. For the placing of the child with the grandmother and other siblings. Too bad they couldn't have adopted the child. God Bless them for taking this wee one in.
JudyESorry for Lisa's I think
you are saying Lisa's daughters grandfather passed yesterday. WHAT???? A woman missing named Angela. If I have it right they
found her car but not her???? Prayers
for you, other co-workers, her family
and friends. JUDYE how long has this lady been missing????????
DanaMo Prayers for your new
school year coming up.
THAT GOES FOR ALL WHO ARE TEACHING;
JUDIE, LAUREL, DANA AND ANYONE I MISSED.
Thelma I hope the game is exciting for
you. Since not only will TRAIN be there but you are excited to see a Major League Teams play. Thelma so glad God is answering those prayers for Beth. Ed liked the Pirates
but they have not until this year been doing very well. He would be HAPPY with how they are playing this year. ENJOY BOTH!!!
Oh Hedgie-Lynn I can believe it!!! When they let Mary O'Brien off like they did. I knew others would follow suit and not care for their horses. There is NO PUNISHMENT!!!
Hope you find your house this trip.
Hoping the news from NGB is that Dad
has himself another mate and using the
same nest.
Prayers for all those that need them-
which are many. Plus prayers for Gods
animals.
Janet/Nilla is really in my prayers and thoughts. Praying for her and her family. His wife and his friends. May God carry you through this Janet/Nilla in HIS LOVING ARMS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOB CRUNCH!!!!
AND A HELLO TO DORS ( :
Good afternoon.
Shirley, sitting in backed up traffic. Had lots of time to watch.
JudyE, can only imagine the anxiety for family, friends, coworkers. Hoping for a safe return for your coworker.
Bob Q, your videos are lovely. So nice and clear. Many thanks for sharing.
Hi Jo.
Hi Dana.
T-Bird, no need to tell you to enjoy Train but will tell you to enjoy the game. Safe trip, please.
I really like BLTs and would be very happy with all B. Hunter and I would never fight over a BLT.
Back to work.
Sorry Doris I was typing too fast let your i out Hello Doris
Have an appointment with Mother need to leave.
I will catch Bob pictures and enjoy them with more time when I get back.
Wind really is blowing the leaves in the right way.
Haven't checked the NBG site for awhile. Sounds like very good news from there.
Google Tinyurl to see what it is.
It just eliminates typing into our formula a long url address - it shortens it and you can copy/past it into our name of
link
REMEMBER that you do not need to do this and that you can just type in the
url address.
My comment backfired on me
I typed our link formula and accidentally it made a link to no where
land.......
I am in!! My head is covered with sweat. Cooling off now. There is so much that could be done outside. I just try to do a little at a time. Jack had an eye doctor appointment this morning so we did not mow. He got to the office and they were not expecting him. The have a new computer program and lost a lot of appointments. So, he goes later. Plan now to mow in the morning, but may get lost in the tall grass. LOL
San Diego Zoo 1st birthday party for
Yun Zi (Boy panda) He knocked over his
beautiful tiered cake.. All boy!
I'm sorry - he is 2 yrs old.
JO You know so much and I say thank you...The San Diego zoo posting...
Hoda - I not that bright but with 5 yrs of watching experience on here I like to
spread the words of interesting things.
Eagles and then the zoos have all been
my favorites.
I hope Lynn's home is being painted and
that Liesl is ok with that!
My NC bunch is scheduled to come into MD this upcoming Monday (Unless the Army changes its mind about Patrick's leave time) When they are here I get to go SCHOOL SHOPPING which includes
shoes and maybe first day outfits. My
gd says they will be in short or summer wear into October. Sammy is 10 and Izzy is 3. 3rd grade and preschool ages. I am very excited! Only other 2 scholars is a HG senior and a Jr. Both boys. One is a shirt/tie prep school and the other is
public school. Maybe I should consider getting them something special.....
Taking a break
BBILW
The house is finished!!!! Loading up their gear. Tried to close up shop without painting fascia. GRRRRR.......it is now done. Told him that I had specified that at the time of the estimate! MAybe he has CRS disease, too, but I very firmly remember that transaction!!!
Getting pics and such hung back up on exterior walls.....he remounted SOME of external things, but a few things (plant hangers) I will spray paint before remounting.
Well another hot day.75 degrees at 11:15 PDT and is forcast to go to 90!!! I do not think it is going to make it...the sun is out and no clouds. I have my hat and my water bottle and am headed off to yoga and then some errands...BBL Enjoy the day everyone...
CONGRATULATIONAS LYNN>>>House is done and you stood your grounds...Proud of you. Next thing get ready for your trip. How did Liesl react to the vaccine?
Hoda, sad story about the former PM's son's tragedy. Is there any kind of legal action pending against him?
I'm not so sure about the NBG announcement....they have already indicated that Papa has a new mate....and it's too early to know if they will use the same nest....
Lynn, I thought that it was said that NBG daddy had found a mate. Hope they don't tell us that there is an egg!! I guess their bio clocks aren't set for that kind of activity yet???
Lynn, I'm glad you have your house refreshing finished, but, I'm guessing you won't hire these same guys the next time...they were aggravating ME!:)
Wishing you much luck on house hunting and...a lovely trip.
Time to head for the vet for Liesl's vaccine. BBL.
I think I read that the CANACIAN drunk driving aristocrat's son is awaiting sentencing...hope Hoda lets us know what his sentence turns out to be...or, not to be, that is the question;)
Be a good girl, Liesl! Make your momma
proud of you.
So happy the house is finished - I'm sure you have lots to do on inside walls
Glad you were supervising and got
exactly what you asked for with the
painting!
Wanda - your tub gardens are beautiful and such a good idea. I think my deck will be much prettier next year!
Such sad news, Hoda. We do tend to feel invincible when young. Sympathy for the families.
Lynne, terrific that the house is finished and completely finished. Give Liesl extra hugs for getting another vaccine.
I rather suspect we will be mostly not hearing from Jo next week. Well, that's okay. She's going to be having a "grand" time.
JUDIE I laughed my butt off when I read your last nite post of the days summary to funny
PAULA is sharing her tree so nice,
LORI will be in my neck of the woods soon, sorry for the disappointment of my woods just heat and humidity that is why I like air conditioning during the summer the rest of the year its nice here
PAULA so glad the ankle has healed nicely. and thanks for BOB pic link
HODA I think I agree with you of the camera and rowing don't need any unnecessary distractions
and JUDIE say 5 juves YEAH!!
WANDA so sorry about your knee still The Trip and Fall Club need to be shut down someone call the BBB fast
I am up to 2:02 am Yikes I will never get caught up Jordyn is down for a nap we went to see Winter the Dolphin which always makes us get home past her normal nap time she didn't get down till 215 I have to wake her about 4 ish so I will continue to read and will check in sometime again after I read more So good to here from LINDA BBL
only about 195 comments to read I forgot to add that info Later gator
Yup...I caught that or maybe it was Andrew who caught it, I had herf instead of href. I will still need to look at my cheat sheet to do a hyperlink if I ever do one again!
oh just to clarify, that was to a post that Shirley wrote earlier about my issues posting links.
No need to be 'just saying' Paula cause I made it clear to use the url address is simple to do. I am spoiled by having
the TinyURL on my menu bar and it's just
easier for me to copy and past that due to habit - I'll blame it on "that's the way Jim taught me!" lol
Paula it is on FB that everyone is
guessing about the 4:00 special announcement - 99% feel it will concern
"Daddy's got a new mate" We'll see
Where is everyone going to be watching for this announcement? On FB....
the cam has been shut down... ????????
Judie you gave me a scare - not hearing
from me next week. My instant thought
was 'am I suppose to be going somewhere
and forgot about it' ROFL
Next thought was that 'Judie misread
what someone said and thought it was me'
THEN it sunk it! Yes indeedy I am going to be having a GRAND time. Thanks
Judi!
Just found mostly everyone over in FB
awaiting the announcement on the
Eagles at Norfolk Botanical Garden page
I guess I should make a link
FB Link - hope you can open it
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, October 15, 2011, Norfolk Botanical Garden will host a Fall Celebration & dedicate the New Eagle Memorial Plaza! That’s right, a PLAZA! More details to come!
I think only a few viewers mentioned that the announcement could concern the
Memorial to Mom
Well perhaps that will be a meeting place since our NCTC Open House isn't happening!
ROAD TRIP
Jo...Lynn commented that the NBG male has a new mate...I haven't heard about that...
And my comment about the links...I hope people are cutting and pasting the url into the formula and not TYPING it in!
I would love to go to NBG...
There had been posts of several sightings of NBG male with a new female starting a couple of weeks ago----don't rmember who asked where I saw that. And Wanda saw it, too!
Nice announcement.....it will be a nice memorial to Mama eagle and her longevity.
Hello Dear Friends - Only have a minute to post, but wanted to let you know the pictures of the beautiful baket you sent me is on my blog.
Please look and see HOW BEAUTIFUL the arrangement is. I will take it home and cherish it!
Thank you, again.
I couldn't remember how to do a link to the pictures, so all I can say is please look on my BLOG!
Love you all!
Wanda, this application is guaranteed for 5 yrs., so I don't think I'll be here to worry about having it done again!!!
Hey TBird, I think you will enjoy the baseball game! Don't forget to have a ball park hot dog !!
Lynn, glad the house is done...hope it turned out the way you wanted. Where did you hear about NBG new mate???
OK, Thanks Lynn...hadn't heard anything! I do know that they have been seeing him on the boat ride at NBG, but no one had mentioned a mate nearby.
Linda, the basket is just gorgeous. There's a Momster out there with a very good eye!! ♥♥
♥♥ Thank you Angel Momster ♥♥
Well Jordyn is home and I have returned to read 167 to read
DRAGON BOAT races in Tampa today Just on news
OFF TO READING i am at 6;27am almost 12hrs ago will I ever catch up If you don't here from me send in a posse LOL
HODA my elec bill was 218.00 I used 1382 KWH and water and reclaimed water with garbage and recycle is 67.00 I have a 3bdrm 1bth house 1247sqft I would love your bill I do have reclaimed water for watering yard but don't water yard everything that goes is heat tolerate I use to do lots of yard work but since I have had Jordyn two days when I am off I have not touched my yard in three plus years When she grows up and is in school I will probably start again on it but I am having to much fun with her and yard can look like poop till then LOL
LYNN and WANDA, Jack Tobin, the former Premier of Newfoundland's son, is going through the sentencing process right now...he already pleaded guilty and the prosecutor is asking for five years and no driving for ten years after that. The defence is asking for 18 months jail time and five years driver's license suspension.
They are not really aristocrats. His father's people are fishermen and the father worked hard to get to university and then he got elected when he entered politics.
I think the sentence will come in around the 31st of August and it will be somewhere in between what the prosecutor and the defence want...probably two years less a day, so he can stay in a provincial jail, they are better than the federal jails, and will have his license suspended for five years and will have to do around four to five hundred hours of Community Service. I think this is standard for such cases here.
JUDY E 218 dollars for electrical in the summer time is WAAAAAAYYYY toooo high.My Gracious me, I do not think I can afford to live in Florida either!!! In the winter here, and I heat with electricity, the highest I have had is 150 dollars every two months and that is January and March bills...
Bird, dark colored and with long trail keeps going into the spot on the trunk on the right of the screen...
where the Gingerbread Man is
wonder what it is
he is landing on the "hole"
Good Evening Eagle Pals
xo
large something just flew "in front of the nest" OUR front that is
it was large !
Oh-oh......woman bitten by a camel at Catoctin Zoo......on a safari ride and she was feeding it and it bit her arm. Poor camel is quarantined.
And tourists in Norway attacked by a polar bear----he was put down. :(
and brown like an eagle
I know I need to read backwards to see what everyone has been up to
smaller bird in the hole looks like a grackle, at least the tail does
tail on that bird is soooo long might be a thrasher but it should be woodpecker
Thanks for the sentencing info, Hoda. He will certainly learn a valuable lesson.
MARGY I see the small bird at the Y bracnch hole. I do not know what it is.
I missed the big bird?something that flew infront of the nest...I had to reboot my computer...it would not bring up the live feed!!! Server error message returns...and again logged on when I had not done so...What's up with that????When I tried to send OC a message they told me to log on so I logged on and they told me I need to be a memeber!!!UGH OK I feel much better now.
Wish I could get a better and longer view of the smaller bird, Hoda...glad you saw it !
It might even be a mockingbird, looks mostly dark or black
but maybe a little white in the tail and at the top of the tail
"dorsal" ?
and the other bird sighting I am almost certain it was Eagle but it was FAST and QUICK and then GONE
Lynn
glad the house is DONE so to speak and all the strangers and their things are gone
And quit talking about not needing it ever again ! I hope you need to have it done a whole bunch of times, every five years !!!!
JO
Your "disappearing act" for next week sounds GREAT!
Know how excited you will be see the BRAGG BUNCH and get the cousins all together again also.
Hope the leave plans do NOT get changed for Patrick !
MARGY I think the little bird has a lighter shade, possibly very light yellow on the head and on some wing feathers...I just saw it again. Good for you for spotting an eagle flying, yes it DOES go too fast...thanks for trusting yourself enough to report it.
I think we will have many chances to see the little bird as I think it is setting up residence in the little hole on the Y BRANCH TREE.
I think so too Hoda
I'll keep trying to study its features, I think your eyes are keener than mine
Sure looks like it is making a home there, a nice cozy home
Paula
Paradising it this week-end?
The Flower Basket sent to Linda is Very Beautiful.
Need to work on the Dinosaur in preparation for Comcast Cable coming to make the switch from Frontier (telephone internet) to Cable on Sunday. I hope it works out well for operations here.
How's That for a Friday Night Date Night !
Love to you all
back later on xoxo
Best Wishes for a Good Evening
FLASHPOINTE 9:00 pm
Hi all! Flowers sent to Linda were beautiful, thanks to a very thoughtful and loving Momster.
Ran some errands this afternoon and I hated it. I am becoming a hermit!! Staying inside with the blinds closed you can sort of forget the heat.
I will not even discuss water bills with you. You would go into shock!!
Whew---everything put back in place except for behind TV.....scrubbed the walls affected with little benefit: looks like what leaked in and ran contained the stripper and it stripped off the polyeurethane and maybe a little color. Will have to live with it cause there's no way I can do anything about it. Guess whoever ends up with the place will just have to completely redo the walls.
I just viewed the floral basket that was sent to Linda and I am speechless.
It's beauty surpasses all that I could
imagine! Blessed are you among us!
((hugs)) ♥
If the bird you gals saw has yellow on it, it was a frequent visitor a month or more ago. Can't remember now what we decided it was, tho'!! Too many bird ID's ago!!!
It was a lot bigger than that bird Hedgie...
sleek like a Thasher, but darker i most places
cleaning out emails, what a task
JOELLEN: no, no, no!!! Flashpoint 8:00!!!!
Yes, the flower/plant basket is just perfect! As I told Linda in comments: she can plant those at her home in memory of Billy.
Super job, Anonymous Momster!! And the sentiment was perfect, too!
Glory Glory JoEllen made a flub!!!
If not for my bestest friend I would have missed my only 'new' show for tonight.
((hugs)) to you Lynn ♥
I do still have to put the deck back in order....but the "pulp" that is edging the carpet needs to be vacuumed up...so guess I'll haul the wet/dry vac out there tomorrow and try to do that. Have some windows to clean, too---sure hope the "slops" that got on them comes off! I suspect that I may have some overspray on the truck, too. ARGH! They had me pull it out of garage when they painted it...don't remember if it was breezy or not...but Weds. when I had to run the wipers, they were dragging and smearing badly and I have felt sticky stuff....hoping it was just sap that got on it while it sat out....will go to carwash tomorrow and see how it comes out.
Hate to Bi--h, but....they took my picture-hanging hooks that my metal pine tree hangings hung on. And, of course, I don't have any more! Sure hope the Dollar Store has some. Don't have time to go to Lowe's, and no hardware stores on this end of town anymore.
MARGY I love the heart shape leaf pretty cool and it is red Never have heard of it or seen it.
Talking about the nest being so dark I live in a area where it never gets dark unless we loose power street lights all over I know when I go to June and it is so dark at night in the mountains with no street light anywhere June and Terry have a security light installed which is really nice at night I guess it what you get use to huh!
Happy Birthday Crunch BOB!!!
MEMAJO love the eagle harmony to cute
I came I saw I conquered I read I am done Yeah Happy Dance just in time for the eagle go arrive Now don't disappoint me I am going over to the rocking chair for a bit I haven't even posted pic to facebook I am so behind and that's even from yesterday I am such a slacker LOL ---LM engaged
Your welcome, Jo! I sure don't want you to miss our show!!!
Lynn, glad you house is finished and you can get back to normal. I do wish though that you would be a little more positive about being around longer!!! Love you and do NOT like your assuming you will not be here 5 years from now.
Jack is complaining of hunger. Going to warm up last nights dinner. Cooked enough for two meals. Yea!!!!!!!
BBIALW
Forgot to tell you....I was downstairs putting canned goods away, and Liesl actually made it down the top step!!!! Funny pup---she goes down the bottom two and she goes down the three on the front porch....but won't go down the long flight off the back deck, and has not made it down the basement steps completely yet.
Hi everyone! I had my email up at work today and was trying to keep up with posts, but it just got so busy and I am now so far behind....
Well,my jaw is somewhat better today!
But the black cloud is still upon us....Steve was driving the "new" car home from all of 3 miles away where he's been working on a house with my former landlord, and the passenger front tire blew.
I honestly don't know why we are constantly being tested. It's really becoming too much. After buying the car which is STILL not fixed (have to take in on Monday) and the big chunk we spent on the Saturn, we now have to buy 2 new tires for the "new" car. UGH. I just don't know what we are doing wrong....
BUT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRUNCH BOB!!! and Hello to Doris!
I have not read back to see if he's checked in today or not.
I need to go pack my duds...we are heading west again this weekend. My MIL is having her big yard sale and hopefully it won't rain!
Going shopping tonight after midnight!!! Online, that is!
Fashion Bug has 40% off sale 12:01AM - 11:59 PM tomorrow. Have always had good luck with clothes there for the plus-size grandgirls.
Carolyn and they picked out items online and sent me the info, so will order it with my member's card for the 40% discount! Looks like they've done well.....$200!!
read back far enough on here to see YAY Lynn's house is done!
And Jo's kin are coming!
and not so nice that Hoda is having a real HEAT WAVE! Well, we can all sympathize with that Hoda!
NGB male has a new mate.....I'm glad. I circle of life goes on...
No more talk of this 5 year not being here crap Lynn.
Glad to see Liesl is finally starting to "step down" in the world!
OH poor JudyE....our electric bill last month was $80
OK, going to do my things now...BBL
oh, my new avatar is a Black Swallowtail. Found him fluttering in the field last summer, first time I ever saw one!
or rather, i should say, first time I SAW one in my new appreciation for butterflies! I think before that, I saw many and didn't SEE. KNow what I mean?
According to Environment Canada Weather office it is 86 degrees right now. It feels a lot cooler than that the breeze is not hot air...
Belle and Truder are missing such a wonderful opportunity to show off and be admired at the nest, since the leaves are blowing in the wind...will they show up? I hope so...
Oops---Jo, YOU'RE welcome! I blew that!
Lynne, So sorry to hear that the travails continue to haunt you. Sure don't want to have to start calling you Job......maybe reading a bit of that would give you some comfort. I will WISH that you WIN the lottery VERY soon! Or that I do, and share it! Life just sure isn't fair.
Hope your weekend getaway is a good one and you come home with some good pics and refreshed spirit. Love you, gal.
Oh, Lolly, et al.....not really thinking so much that I won't be around in 5...just mostly that I can't keep up this place...don't know how many more winters I can feed the fire, for one thing. And who knows: maybe a full-time beach abode could be in the future!
Okay, Hoda.....what big Canadian city has a building similar to Seattle's Spcae Needle???
Flashpoint is set in Canada, but they just showed one like that! Lit up red all around the top!
Love the Black Swallowtail, Lynne
I know what you exactly what you mean about seeing and seeing
or is
seeing and sawing ?
I saw a Giant Swallowtail once, and it was so good about posing for pictures
that was before I had my digital camera
Best wishes for a Good Week-end, Lynne and Steve, Hang In There !!
Good Things Come to Those Who Wait, Believe It !!
xoxo (( Hugs ♥ ))
JudyE
Expert naturalist friend of mine things the Heart Leaves are Red Bud Leaves,
got lucky getting that one Red leaf in amongst the green ones...
that was May 2010
xoxo
time to download pictures now onto a flash drive, THAT will take awhile
Thanks by the way JudyE
Hedgie
When are you leaving for NC??
You are filling your schedule up with more and more HERE things ...
thanks Lynn, and I think I will read some of Job. And thank GOD for you momsters and I bless the day I found you all! You sure do lift my spirits with all the fun talk and sharing of woes, too. This is a group like no other!
And I understand what you mean now by the 5 year thing. Exactly what my In-laws are dealing with now. Winter sure is pretty but quite a pain the arse, for sure!
LYNN that would be Toronto. with the tower.
LYNN'S TOWER IN TORONTO
BTW Margy, we bought 3 little year old Redbud "sticks" 2 years ago. I put them in pots and didn't take into consideration that the dirt in the pots would freeze much faster than if they were in the ground, so we lost 2 of them. But one survived, and we planted it last spring. It's now a whopping just about 3 feet tall! The bigger one we bought at Home Depo we planted 3 falls ago, and it's now 6ft tall, but only had FOUR blooms this spring! But I am hopeful that it will bloom like crazy next year! And I agree, those ARE Redbuds in your picture....the new leaves on ours start out that same reddish color.
OK need to get food ready for the critters for the AM....BBL
Toronto is the Capital of the Province of Ontario. It is the centre of the Financial Services in Canada and it is very expensive to live there and their highways are impossible...
OMG! Does anyone remember the pigeon with the hurt wing that showed up here early in the year? The pale colored one with tan splotches....The wing was badly bruised so the wildlife rehabber said to keep it confined and let it rest for a week...we let it go one week later and he flew off very strong. Well, today, I was in the bathroom and saw a light colored pigeon flying around. We just don't get pigeons here...very unusual. It was alone. i went outside and got some pictures of him up on the roof. I swear it's the same dang bird!!!! He wasn't still here hanging around when I got home, though. But I put some extra "compost" on the ground before I left!
Linda, the flowers are certainly beauteous. Thanks to the Momster or Dadster who sent them.
Flash visited the vet this afternoon. The test for lyme disease was negative. They are checking other possibilities, and we should know more by Monday.
Oh, Lynn, I can see you living full time at the beach. Sounds like a plan.
Hoda...do you know what I would give to have it 86, heck, I would settle for 96. It got to 107 again today! Here it is close to 7:30 and 99.3. You open the door to go out and it is like opening an oven door.
Ok, Lynn, I understand that. I know we will not be able to keep up this place forever, but at least there are two of us. Can understand your situation completely.
We can mow easily, but the weed eating is hard on Jack.
Lynne, so glad your jaw is better. Hang in there!!! Know that we love you and really care. So very very sorry that you are having these challenges. And, please, never say "I hope it does not rain!!!" LOL
LOL You put out all the "compost" you want, Lynne!
That pigeon is a sign Lynne !
It's a good sign, maybe an Angel in Disguise
Shirley, okay, good, no Lyme's Disease
Hoda,
I have a sister and brother-in-law who lived in Ann Arbor Michigan for a time, they enjoyed going to Toronto!
Hi Lolly! Thanks for the beautiful post cards...!!
Gad, I have a lot of pictures on this computer, kind of fun seeing a quick peek at them before off-loading them
Mama deer and the twins are on the corn! Gotta bring in the trail cam tomorrow!
MOON is finally visible, almost half full already....
in the South West
Thanks for Megan conveying the upcoming full moon names, via Wanda I think by FB
xoxo
bye-bye color at the nest
:(
oh SHirley so glad the test was negative for Lyme!
Margy, Margy, Margy!!! Love you! You are the sweetest thing ever! Jack received his card from you today. Thank you!
He is really doing great and goes to therapy Monday. He is thinking this started last Fall. He had 5 weeks in the trailer with a flat pillow. Ooops! I am thinking about getting to Bed Bath and Beyond and getting him a memory foam pillow. We will see if that helps!
Well if Hedgie moves to the Beach...
I think I would have serious Separation Anxiety, but would be happy for her
xox
Sitting here sipping on sunscreen. ☺
and I am having my last brew which has been in the refrigerator for weeks, Lolly
Shock Top
oh man, Lolly
I got two for one the other day, very nice pillow!!
But it would cost a fortune to send it to you! Sorry...it is dense and heavy
so I will just put on top of my head each night and get more memory
Jack is so very welcome !
You know how I am about snail mail !
However, Lolly, it would probably cost less to mail it than for you to buy one...
think about it !
Had to google Shock Top. LOL Jack's favorite beer is a Belgium Beer. Michael got on line and found him some for his birthday. It is hard to find.
Well I'm in process of doing some picture on facebook then head to the tv so I'll say good night now

I had the cutest little pillow once, was a neck pillow
was shaped like a doggy bone
and that's what I called it
the doggy-bone pillow ☺
Don't have it anymore, it got all worn out when my Sister was ill several years ago
♥
For a good cause, for sure
Margy, we're leaving Sunday after church. So I guess noonish! I think their service is at 9:30.
Thanks, Hoda!!! Lighting is a cool touch! Certainly does enhance it!!
Lynne, that pigeon was stopping in to say HELLO and THANKS!!! Sweet!
LOLLY believe yu me I know what you are saying about the heat...Yesterday I mentioned our temperatures to Batch in OKC and he cut me off right away telling me it is 107 degrees there and has been for at least two weeks, he had NO SYMPATHY for my weather!!! Lake Hefner, where he has his sail boat is dropping and he thinks these conditions will last till 2013, something connected to Al Ninio he said.I changed the subject. He noticed and laughed about it in an email today.
Margy, thank you, but you just put that pillow on top of your head and soak up some memory. I will get out and get Jack one soon. Let me know what you think of your pillow. Do you really like it?
Let me just say here, that I absolutely love sitting here chatting with Margy in WV and Hoda in 86 degree heaven. ☺
Margy, Jack said to tell you that you would get along very well with Joey, who loves wheat ale.
LOLLY I am sitting down, and I do not have anything to drink in my hand, and there is nothing to throw near by...all this to reassure you in terms of being shocked...but I am curious to know... is your water bill 300 dollars every two months?You said you were not going to mention it so we would not be shocked, but I am curious...do tell...
OH I am not a connoissseur, Lolly, just have one once in awhile
think I got this six-pack about two months ago
Yes I like the memory pillow, surely worth the extra cost
I have a down feather pillow also but am embarassed to talk about it, learning AFTER I got the pillow how those down feathers are acquired :(
Gotcha Lynn, on your schedule
Hoda, much hotter than you expected it would get, stay - 6 weeks ago, aye?
LORI must be packing as she is going to Orlando tomorrow...
Where are you all seeing a picture of the Basket of Flowers sent by VERY GENEROUS ANONYMOUS MOMSTER? Is it on FB?
That is for sure MARGY...much much hotter than I expected then. I remember wanting it to get warm and wanting to not wear jackets and socks...Well I am certainly not in need of them now...LOL
Linda posted a picture of the flowers on her blog, Hoda.
Hoda, google El Nino and you will get the info that Batch was referring to. Tilde over the 2nd N but don't know how to do that on the keyboard!!
I'd be happy to wheat ale-it with Joey,Lolly
It think Hedgie told me about this one
always liked Molsons back in the day
well, back to the pics now I guess
no scratch that, have to tend to a family sitaution regarding brother in law, back, not sure when
xoxo
Lynne - that is the tower that Hoda
found! Show was great this evening.
I sure do like those characters.
Taking a break
I keep looking out to the deck in case
my little opossum visits again.
Can't get a pic through the glass door -- plus it would scare him away.
BBL
Hoda, we pay by the month. Let's just say I would be thrilled with
$300 for a month. Really thrilled!!!
Thanks Shirley. I tried to leave a message and it would not let me...asked me to log on and to verify my post I did so twice and it kept asking, so I moved on...
THANKS ANNONYMOUS MOMSTER.
Hoda, you have to understand that I am a gardener. Gardening is my main interest and love. Also, we live on an acre and I have nurtured the whole acre. However, I have given up the front part just this summer. The lawn down there is dying. It makes me sick!!! Maybe I will adjust. We are watering about half an acre. I am trying to keep my flower gardens and landscaping alive.
Good Evening Everyone. Got home late, ate din din & was reading back just to top of this page.
I love those words "Field Trip"!
I wonder if there will be a memorial to Lady Norfolk?
I have another lost mate story. The lady I work with at Chelsea is from Albany, New York. She told about a bridge (there, I think) that had an osprey nest on top.The male was flying low over the bridge & one idiot swerved to hit the bird. He did and all the other motorists who saw that followed him, someone called 911, and they got him surrounded as police came. He was fined and locked up.
The rest of the story is that a young male osprey joined the family and even brought fish to the nest for the step-chicks! ☺
Hoda,
Take a look at Lolly's Hawkwood Gardens blog.
Step chicks! Love it!!!
LOLLY and JACK with such a bill I have more respect for your love and efforts for gardening and for making the planet a more beautiful place to live. You live what you value and the pictures I see of your garden tell me of your love of the land and of the determination you have to be its good guardians...as we say up north of 60, Good on you!!!
Thank you, Hoda! It is my love. I know how precious water is and I respect and value it. My gardens are so important to me. It is just something in me...when I see a plant wilting and dying...I hurt. Is that crazy? We do not eat out much, we do not go to the movies...this is my hobby. If I have to let it go....shoot me! ☺
WOW!!! Hawkwood Garden Blog...Thanks SHIRLEY for pointing me there and LOLLY and JACK it is AMAZING...you have created a beautiful environment...BRAVO.
Our mistake was buying an acre. LOL But, we have been here 38 years this summer. Maybe we should have a small place with a little yard.
Hoda...I have posted a lot of pictures there. Remember to click on older posts at the end.
well folks, gotta hit the hat...4am comes early! I'll check back in when we get home.
Have a good weekend everyone, good night and prayers for all!
You are livving every environmantalist dream in that you have your own acre and you are tending it with your live and yur labour. How you find time to look after the church too is incredible to me...I will look at the other pictures on your blog as a treat over time. I had seen pictures of the pond and part of your garden on FB and thought WOW...It is a good thing tht you are doing LOLLY and JACK.
Nite, Lynne! Have a great weekend! Keep smiling, it is bound to get better! ((Hugs))
Thank you, Hoda! (((Hugs)))
Think I am going to read for a while. Will be back later.
Oh, forgot to say. Jack did get up to armadillo hunt this morning around 6 AM. He saw the dude, but was not fast enough. It got away. They are fast!!
LYNNE 2 have a terrific weekend and drive safely. Look forward to hearing from you on Sunday when you come back...I have you on my prayer list that you both do not carry things on your shouders alone and that GOD helps you both in taking every step...Sweet dreams to you both...
Bears in Kiddie Pool
Just for Fun
"There but for the Grace of God go I"...
Shirley your link about the bears and the kiddie pool brought up a report on Somalia...I follow their story closely.
Did you get to see the bears, Hoda?
Did you get to see the bears, Hoda?
A report on Somalia is important, but I would not label it "just for fun."
Margy, not me recommending that beverage! I never heard of it!
Hoda, uncheck the "stay signed in" box and then your comment will post!!! You MAY have to sign back in tomorrow to get on blog, tho'!
OMG, Lolly....MORE than $300/month????? Year-round or just in the summmer???? GULP! I think I would end up doing my yard in Arizona style!
No Shirley I did not see the bears...I will go back and check what comes up...
Oh, Lowreeda...a terrible story...with two good outcome. Locked up the jerk and the chicks got a new papa. :( and :)
SHIRLEY I scrolled down on the list of clips and did not see anything about bears or kiddie pools...do you get anything about Somalia?Is my computer acting up???
LYNN thanks for telling me what I have to do to post a comment on a blog...
Lolly, do they ever put y'all on watering restriction?
I see a commercial, a weatherman, and the bears in the kiddie pool. Odd.
LYNN, you're going to be worn out by the time you leave on Sunday. Some of that stuff could wait til' you return, ya know ?☺ When I read your comment about not being in that house 5 yrs. from now my immediate thought was, "she's going to make a permanent move to NC by then". After that I read on and saw friends who've known you a long time taking it a different way and anxiety began to build. Whew, I finally got to your post which ended with "who knows: maybe a full-time beach abode could be in the future!" Big sigh of relief and some satisfaction that I was right in my first impression !♥♥3
LINDA, thanks for showing us the beautiful basket of plants and flowers. LYNN is right, you can plant some of those outdoors or keep them as house plants for a long term reminder of your dear brother and of the Momsters/Dadsters who love you so much ! I loved seeing the photos of you and your brothers as children. As the only girl I'm betting you could tell us some great stories !
♥♥♥Thanks again to the loving Momster who is responsible for the memorial gift !♥♥♥
Nothing about Somalia, Hoda.
LORETTA, like everyone else I found the vehicular homicide of that NY osprey to be appalling. Glad the perp got what was coming to him and so sweet to hear about the young male who stepped in to help Mom with the chicks ! Nature never ceases to amaze.
Bears in Kiddie Pool
Now I have to keep trying.
It is good to know that there are enough concerned people that the guy who hit the osprey was reported and caught.
SHIRLEY, no lyme disease for Flash----great news ! Oh Dem Bears, what a cute video that was. Mom was no doubt watching to be sure none of those humans bothered her little swimmers !
LYNNE, praying the Good Lord will soon lift that little black cloud that is following each of you around these days ! Just can't believe how much bad luck you've had lately. Have a safe trip to the mil's and don't work too hard !
Lynne, sleep tight and have a good trip. Hope you can relax some while working AND even have some fun!
Lori, imagine you are zonked by now. Hope you have a great trip, too. How long will you be in FL?
Cute bear video, Shirley!!!
Kay....it could go either way, kiddo!! Feel like I am on borrowed time, since I'm NOT supposed to be here now!!! It is what it is....and I sure don't dwell on it.
HODA, got a big charge out of your conversation with your American brother in OK ! I know where he was coming from ! Do they ever travel north to see you ? This would be a great time for them to escape the heat.
Back again before the news starts
Would love to read back but eyes are too
tired.
God Bless and Peace be with all of you
& your family & your friends.
Hugs to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Been watching some TV & eyeballs are closing, so time to call it a day.
Pleasant Feather Dreams and Prayers for Linda, 'Nilla & all those in need ;>)
Glad that you could see the bears, Kay.
Hmm, my wireless mouse seems to be beeping at me. I do not know why. Maybe the battery is low. It usually has a red light blinking then, though.
LYNNE, I know whatcha' mean. My kids get after me for making remarks and some plans that show I feel I'm living on borrowed time. I've outlived my parents, sister, and all but one grandparent by many years already. I have six cousins in OK and TX who, like me are living well beyond the family norm. We really can't believe it !
More insanity:
Insulin on a plane---NOT!
Shirley, glad that the Lyme's test was negative....wonder what else they are checking for?
MARGY, come back ! I'm worried about what's up with the bil. Hope everythings okay.♥♥♥
JO, thanks for relaying the NBG announcement to we non-FBer's. I checked and it's a 10 hour drive from here to Norfolk or a $250.00 plane ticket, +hotel and car rental, etc.. Can't swing it and still go to Our open house next Spring and I think that is far more important to me. I do hope some of you MD,WV,VA folks can represent us all there at the Garden, however.
Arthritis, I think, Lynn.
Something keeps beeping. I swear it is my mouse. It is unhappy about something.
Kay, you are doing great!!! I come from lines of longevity....only my Dad has died young.
Okay, maybe it is the cordless phone. It says it wants to dine on electricity for seven hours. Geesh, there are so many electronic things around here.
Interesting story about the insulin on the plane.
I have to say I would hate to be in the position of those people at TSA.
Love our spotted dog pictures, Lynn. I was admiring Flash's spots on the inside of his mouth today.
Some of those TSA employees sure do get a case of power craziness ! She could get the syringes through, but not the insulin ??? On one of my early flights post 911 an agent dumped my tote out in search of the gun I was carrying. Seemed a bit chagrined when my gun turned out to be a very standard Proventil Rescue Inhaler ! I always put my meds/inhaler in my carry on, so if I need them in flight, or if my checked luggage is delayed, I have what I need to survive.
Kay, I sure am tired! Still have the sunroom to vacuum, but it will have to wait til tomorrw. Dozed off on sofa a little while ago while cuddling with Liesl...she took a nap ,too---right before her bedtime!
I have a good bit to do yet, but know that I won't get it all accomplished before we leave....it will be waiting for me on return!!
I do hope they let you keep the inhaler, Kay.
When Rus was in elementary school--I think third grade--he took a very small plastic box filled with screws, springs, etc., to school. He told a little girl it was a bomb.
Her mother came to me concerned about what he had, and I explained what it was. It went no further. I hate to think what would happen now.
No, I had not encouraged him take it to school, and I do not remember how I even knew he had it. But he was just a little boy with an imagination.
Tomorrow would have been Lucille Ball's 100th b-day. News clip showed the Vitameatavegimen shot! SO FUNNY....then and still!
They sure don't make good, clean comedy like they used to.
Heard that MDA and Jerry Lewis have parted ways---no reason given. Strange-----after all that he has accomplished for that cause.
Lynn, for goodness' sake, take it easy. You are going to be plumb tuckered out.
Cute bear cubs in th epool SHIRLEY. I appreciated watching it. Thanks for trying again.
KAY we usually have some very good conversations my American Family and I.
Shirley, I never ceaase to be amazed by Liesl's spot on her belly and even some showing on the pink skin under her white hairs!!! Have never had a doggy that looks like that before!!!
