Thanks for the call over and new thread.
Granny, thank you for the encouraging words.
WWVDana, sounds like you a fab day. Time with your momma and a starry treat when you got home. Nice.
Thank you for the new thread, STEVE!
Thanks, Thelma, for the call over!
So it's on this thread:
SHEP IS INCUBATING - FACING 11.
Good morning!
I hear the dove. Love it. Shep is deepin the nest.
Hi Lori and Sharon. Looks like a beautiful morning at the nest.
Good Morning one and All and wake up after shower to find a new thread when I sign on THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD STEVE
THIS WAS IN MY JUNK BOX THIS AM other must be complaining also I will go read but can't sit and keep hitting refresh or newest neck bothers me from last nite
Perpetually has posted an answer to the question "HELP AFTER TODAYS UPDATE WITH GOOGLE TO BLOGGER WE HAVE NO EMAIL TO ME AREA":
Yes, I've just seen that the full-page comment format which I use has changed to the new Google look and the subscribe option isn't there. It's also vanished in the pop-up format which has the new look too. Only the embedded format has retained it. It's really annoying to lose this function and I hope the option is restored soon.
Hi JudyE, I have the new format but it's not been a problem. This doesn't look or function much diff from what I had previously. Thank goodness. Love the comment box at the bottom. So helpful.
Morning, all.
Went to bed early, trying to beat this bug, and the computer wasn't cooperating either.
Lynn, good to see you were posting last night.
Carolyn and Lynn, so sorry to hear about Wes passing. Hope Charlie and Carolyn told the girls.
I also love the comment box at the bottom of the page. I can also understand how some could be upset about the no email option. I don't use that.
Paula, hope you AND 'puter are better today.
Thelma, I don't use the email option either.
My cam keeps freezing up about every 10 minutes. Does anyone have any solutions?
Try a different browser?
Thanks, Susan, I think we are both feeling better this morning
:-)

Good morning.
Thank you for the fresh thread, Steve and Thelma for the call over.
Carolyn and Lynn, very sorry Wes died and wish peace and healing for all the family.
WVsUSAn, hope the best for your friend.
does anyone know what the comment meant when the person that replied to me
Only the embedded format has retained it.
I wonder where that is
Headed to the big school house this morning. Easy day - video interview with serial killer.
Nest looks sunshiny warm this morning. Shep doing a good job.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.
More Zicam, JudyE. I use allergy eye drops. Love them!
Egg roll.
Thanks Judie. It's ALL gonna be good!!
Shep back down at 5.
I love getting my daily reminder of the image of the day todays is soooo cool
Eastern Seaboard at Night
tooo cool
Judie drops info on a video interview with a serial killer and then bolts. Girl, that's just a teaser.
SHIRELY I would love to sit in on one of your classes I love Crimial Minds and I love all shows like that I love reading books also like that my favorite author is LISA JACKSON she does lots of them have you all ever read any of hers??? Well its time for me to go to work HAGD
I agree SUSAN I want to hear more on it but have to leave for work maybe she will give us more details after she reads your comment OK Bye again and I do love the box on the bottom
JudyE, beautiful
make sure you check out the link I posted it is a view of you all area from space
THIS IS UNDER PICTURE
An Expedition 30 crew member aboard the International Space Station took this nighttime photograph of much of the Atlantic coast of the United States. Large metropolitan areas and other easily recognizable sites from the Virginia/Maryland/Washington, D.C. area are visible in the image that spans almost to Rhode Island. Boston is just out of frame at right. Long Island and the New York City area are visible in the lower right quadrant. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are near the center. Parts of two Russian vehicles parked at the orbital outpost are seen in left foreground. This image was taken on Feb. 6, 2012. Image Credit: NAS
Shep is sunning his face at 7
JudyE, I have free Sky View app on my phone that identifies everything at all angles. Awesome
Right now Vega is directly above me. It's the second brightest star in the Northern hemisphere.
Paula-I tried Firefox and it didn't even give me the choice to bring up the cam.?
Egg roll by our dear Shep. Now facing 3 or so.
Another egg roll. This boy is busy.
Well, my cam just went off. hmmmmm
Refresh was refreshing. Cam back on.
Off to go to the hospital. BBL
Tbird, you may need to update your flash player in Firefox?
juDYe, the blog can be formatted to threaded format..you could reply to each persons post and it would should your reply under their post...if you google it or go to blogger you will see it. I think it would be confusing for us here. It is up to the blog owner to decide which format they want to use.
Hi all - checking in from school to find a new thread. Thanks Steve. Ya know, catching up on the blog first thing this morning, I read something that someone (JO maybe) posted from Tori on FB. It said that Tori was able to sleep on her side last night and it felt so good b/c she hadn't been able to do that for so many months. That post really put things in perspective for me! WOW ... and here I am complaining that blog comments no longer show up in my inbox. I am finished whining and complaining about such a trivial thing!
I am healthy, my husband and my boys are healthy, my family is healthy. Denny and I have good steady incomes, plenty of food to eat, and a home that we don't have to worry about being able to pay for. We are blessed! If the worst hardship in my life is having to refresh the blog page every time, then my life is good!
Prayers for JEWELS and Charlie's family.
Prayers and more prayers for LYNN.
Prayers for SUSAN's friend having surgery.
MARGY, the astronomy sites are awesome but I still love it when you just tell me where to look and what I'll be seeing when I look there! =)
OK, back to work for me!
Hope the bug bugs out Paula...
wonder, do people's pets ever catch anything from their owners, or vice versa, like sniffles and things..
Speaking of bugs! I saw and had in my car, in Berkeley Springs my vrist first Lady Bug beetle yesterday, beauty of a little critter, not a spot to be seen...wanted to save it and bring back to Martinsburg, but she found her freedom first
Morning all.
Thanks for all your condolences to Charlie and Carolyn. I, too, hope they told the girls. They can't afford to miss school, but......it is what it is.
Christie just called to say that Shannon is in an ER close to work with a kidney stone. Not his first....his work buddies are bringing him and his car home in a little while. OUCH! Poor SIL.
Have a follow-up apptmt. with the radiologist today. Frank and Irene are going to be my chauffers and run a few errands for me, too!
Yep, Sandi, you put things in perfect perspective!
sUSAn, praying that all goes well for you BFF. So glad you c an be there.
Righto Sandi...
that was indeed Jo that posted and I repeated it thanksfully....at the very end of old thread before #400...
yes, some things just tend to pale by comparison...
xoxo Back to work here
Thank you Steve for the New Thread
Thank you T-Bird for the Alert....
I'm peeking on Blackwater from time to time to see if any eagles make a visit :(
I see Belle has resumed nest duty--at least for now!
Good Morning Lynn
Hope this is a good day for you..
Thinking of you, Carolyn and the family...and all of Charlie's extended family
(( Hugs ♥ ))
I missed your first post Lynn...
sorry too about Shannon...
and happy to see that your friends will be your chauffeurs today...
Hope you see some beautiful things there and back
xoxo
************************
A very GooD Tuesday
MorN tO U aLL.
************************
The rain in So Cal yesterday amounted to one horrendous squall, which sounded more like a bombardment, but which only lasted a very few minutes. And then there came some very light showers followed by another downpour, which was hard rain with a lot of cold wind, but it never got as intense as the first one... Beautiful, cool and clear this morning now. ;~)
Take a look at how big and active Phoebe's chicks have gotten in a short time. Incredible!
Very sorry to see the end of BWE's season, and I'm anxious to read what the biologist has to say about the cause after his examination.
Have a great TWTF followed by a wonderful weekend.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Thanks for the fresh thread, Steve
Good Morning Friends..
Daughter is walking in the door - it
must be Tuesday.
I'll need to read back later
I see sunshine on the nest..
BBL
Yea, Hedgie, was just going to comment that they pulled a switcharoo on us!
Okay, I am about to depart.
Hi Lynn. Hope the appt. goes well. Sorry about Charlie -- painful.
Jo, have a nice time.
Jim, the West End and Two Harbors eagles both looked a bit soggy late yesterday and Phoebe's little ones look about ready to try their wings.
Margy, I think cats and dogs are generally immune to the human cold virus.
Okay, leaving with my serial killer.
Have a good day.
Belle up for some digging...
Wiggled back down, facing 11
Hi to Lynn, Judie and Margy - all we
need is Wanda! lol
Sorry to hear of Shannon's misery!
Thinking of Charlie and Carolyn and
hope you all find Peace - Praying for
Wes's family.
WVsUSAn - thanks for all the blog remarks
Sandi - ditto to your coment
Paula - fight it off - don't give in
Good morning Eagle Pals! I think I have sleeping sickness! Going to sleep my life away! LOL
Lynn, good to see you on here this morning. Sorry about Shannon. Hope he recovers from this fast. Prayers for comfort for Charlie and family, so so sorry! Wes was way too young.
Annie has basically stopped eating. Jack cleaned her box this morning and he said she is using it less. She is also sleeping more. Taking her to the vet this afternoon. Maybe a vitamin shot will perk her up, but this may be it. I hope not! She is still purring!!!!
GOOD MORNING...
I have been reading back on last and newest thread and it has taken me 2 hours to get caught up...now, I'm ready for a nap:)
I was napping every day when I first got home from the hospital and it felt really good, but now, if I nap, then I don't get sleepy again until well after midnight:(
I've been wondering if, with the loss of the two BW chicklets death, Lord & Lady BW might start another family. It is still fairly early. Remember a while back, after Lib and Bell lost their eggs to a bad snow storm, they built another nest on top of the old one and had more eggs? Was that last year or year before?
I hate not getting the comments emailed to me. Just sayin. . .
I love this group everyone tries to help keep each other informed.
Sandi thank you so much for posting that information about Tori. I had not heard that she has gotten to sleep on her side...great news. Bet that feels so good to her.
Yes we all takes some things for granted. Just the human part of us.
I have been seeing lots of robins lately.
awwwww Margy a Lady Bug I just love them♥
Lynn so sorry Shannon is dealing with those kidney stones again.
Good that Frank and Irene are helping you out.(((((hugs)))) and give Liesl a tummy rub please.
Wanda, the new eggs were laid within days of losing the first two.
Belle digging in the nest. Wiggle wiggle
Off to read the paper now.
Lolly - Annie has been with you so long
Love it that her motor is still running
A purr is just like the ocean's waves -
Peaceful.
I have finished the paper and now off to start my day.
Yes, Jo...the purr is sooo nice! And, Annie has a loud purr, you can hear it across the room. Love it!
Have a great day!

Bug on the cam
I just got home to the most exciting thing - 2 adult Black Vultures on the roof of the "barn" where they laid their eggs last year! They've been dropping down into the barn from the holes in the roof, into the same stall where they raised the two babies.
I'm so excited to have them back! And on the right schedule this year. They had those eggs so late last year!
REMINDER.....Tori's last name is CHAKWIN.
Thanks for the list, Jo.
Paula, sorry you are feeling puny....too much weekend excitement??
Judie, I am wondering if the interview with the serial killer is one that you did??
Wanda, I would suspect that you NEED a nap after therapy!!!
Thanks Lynn - I have Robyn and
Bobbi on my mind
I had to quickly look at the cam - I was afraid that Boris returned...
PAULA, hope you're feeling better soon. Lots of people at work are getting colds now. Virginia said this is the latest flu season we've had in 25 yrs! Have any of that chicken soup left?
Today is my Mr. Bill's birthday! He's 68----WOW!!
LYNN, enjoy your time with Frank and Irene. So glad you feel well enough to get out! Big hugs and lots of prayers for you, special lady!
WHOOHOO---Lori is going to be a BV Mom again, I bet!!!!
LOL, Lori---no thrill going to a doctor.....:(
I'm hoping I get to be a BV mom again. It was so fun and I really missed them!
You never know, Lynn, you could get great news anytime! Prayers, prayers, prayers! ♥
Good morning , Good afternoon all.
JEWELS and LYNN so sorry that WES died. PRAYERS.
LYNN Thinking of SHANON and hoping for healing.
Your family has had its share plus some LYNN. It is bound to turn the tide.
Thanks JO for the birthday and anniversary list.
PAULA I hope you feel better and if you need to take a day off and catch up to your self...
Keep us posted LYNN.♥
What was that? Belle fluttered her wings while still sitting on the cup and got up looked at the egss and changed position...I heard the wing flutter was strong.
I am touched by your writing about ANNIE LOLLY.♥
Wowser Lori
That is unexpected news
I am excited for you!
I just had 2 ravens flying in and taking
peanuts on my deck railing.... THEN
along comes the red tail hawk into the
tree and he flies at the ravens and
off they go......
I call them Ravens because they are so large...
Lynn - 68 is young to me.... I hadn't seen that for a few years....
Hope you get to see him to wish a Happy Birthday!
Frank and Irene are lucky to be there
for such a wonderful lady! I know they will take good care of you! ♥
Hoda - usually that eagle action would
mean a hatching taking place - too soon!
I don't know what made her jump.
I have yet to have my comment box at
the bottom of the page......
It may be due to my not ever 'signing
out' I always close the site down with
my 'x'
Lolly, hope that Annie perks up...hard to watch an oldster fade.
I think Belle was just aerating----it's hot in that sun!!!
Happy 68 Mr. Bill !!!
Lori this is great your going to be a Mom again. You have to keep us updated on the BV's.
BV babies! I love babies, no matter what kind, how ugly, how pretty, just so they are not my babies! :)
Shutting down. See you all later th is afternoon.
Thank You LYNN and JO in regards to Belle action.
LORI very excited about the TV...it was exciting last year to read about them and sad too and then more excitement as the one fledged...you are so good with them...
LYNN......watch it! 68 is young!!!☺ No, wow needed! LOL
Lori, that is exciting. We were so happy when our hawks returned every year to the nest. We miss them. They nest close, but not the same as having them in your own yard.
Jack and I just finished our walking. I was watching Belle. Jack was watching the feeders and he saw a Blue Bird!!! I rushed to the window but never saw it! Dadgum!!!!
Jo, I never sign out either, I just x out. I do split the screen between the cam and the blog and my comment box is at the bottom when I show windows side by side. When the blog is full page it is back at the top.
Belle has been on the nest for quite a while now. Time for Shep to come and relieve her.
Sad about the eagle. Paula, I like your comment. Would love for Buddy to be a daddy. LOL
Time to put my street face on as well as my street hair. LOL Do not want to scare the vet when we visit. LOL
Not a wig, not a mask....just make up and a hair comb!!!! But, those two would come in mighty handy!
Headed off to see what the day has to offer...BBL
Good Luck Lolly with Annie (((HUGS)))
Robins are in my yard! SPRING! ♥
just turned it back on
eggs alone at NCTC
belle back and calling
and gone
okay pals...
I'm at work but will be watching the nest best I can....
to see when one or the other parent retursn
I was on fb and now see the nest is empty. Belle had been there all morning. What's up?
Hope that Vitamin shot perks up Anne, Lolly...
Okay, Judie, then I might want to be a cat or a dog ...
no colds
it was empty when I checked at 1:34,Belle came in,
then went out and has been gone since
she was squawking at something overhead....not too terribly badly
and flew out kind of like at the 6-7 spot
Thanks, Margy! Still no Belle or Shep. Eggs still exposed!!
at least warmer and not so windy as it was on Sunday.....
when the egglets were alone for awhile
Wish we could at least hear some sound in the attic.
Times like this the eggs looks so tiny.
Close to 15 minutes now.
I just a jolt at the camera. Somebody must be returning.
Oh, heard something on the cam. Come on down!!
Shep is here!!!!!!!!!!!
Shep returns at 1:52 p.m.
Okay, now I can leave. All is well as Shep is on the eggs. Yea!
and I have no sound here.....but I hear those happy Sheph is Here boices
guess I need to get back to work now too...
xoxoxox ☺ ♥ ☺
adn part of what I do is type for a living...
sorry about those typos ...the screen for this is far away....
boices, yes, new word
boisterous voices
Good on Shep. Bet he, Belle or both were within eyeshot of those eggs the whole time ! We're a bunch of nervous Norvis'es !
LYNN, so sorry Wes didn't make it, may he RIP. Prayers for the whole family ! ♫Happy Birthday♫ to Bill ! Enjoy your visit with Frank and Irene--so glad you're feeling up to it. I managed to stay up for the whole race and went to bed happy with the results. Yeah, for my man, Kenseth and hurray for your man, Jr. !
LINDA, hope that excruciating pain is history. You need a TENS unit ! I've heard it can help with migraines, too. I'll bet some gently used ones are available on e-Bay.
DANAMO, LOL, what do Boy Scouts eat for dinner ? Or taken another way, what do Boy Scouts taste like, chicken ? Okay, I'm sick, but when I read you had a Boy Scout dinner I giggled !
LORI, yippee ! So happy you and we by extension will have the Vultures to watch this year !
Time for a couple of errands, but will see ya later ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Home for lunch let me start reading the blog the blog way My email box is lonley LOL
I think we need to give these two a
"No Show" mark when we turn out to
be the egg watchers and they are late!
That Ticks my nerves!
Yea, Jo, give 'em some demerits!
All caught up but my mail box is crying LOL
SUSAN that sounds neat on your phone I just have a trac phone just to use in ER nothing fancy but sometime I do wish I had on with IE that way I can always see the nest or blog
PAULA I guess I just will have to get use to this and maybe they will fix it I doubt it
SHARON I agree with the no comment in email I think there are only three of us that did that
LYNN glad you came and posted so sorry about Shannon kidney stones
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LYNNS MR BILL 68 is young to me when I am 62
I dislike the our name being smaller under the avatars
JO thanks for the list of dates I will have to copy and paste and put in my email since I don't get the email comment any longer to file
I got a quick video of two vultures flying ver the parking lot at work the other day there were about 8 but could only focus on two with the cam and it was a quick video We were all teasing each other that they were waiting for the old folks to kick the bucket I said Hey watch what you say I'm getting old now LOL
JO did you try to bring in the side of your window and make it narrow that is the only time it drops down I watch the nest on the bottom right of the screen above it is the still cam and on the left side is the blog and use to be email comments Try to narrow it I just measured the screen and it has to be less than 11 inches I used a piece of paper and a yard stick so
Whoa! Finally the Comments at the bottom of the blog are now in effect...
I swished my Blogger Screen and it
had no where to go but down!
Paula - are you feeling any better
this afternoon? I am ready for a nap..
it is after 2:00...... Kristen has
gone home & I am really waiting for
Lynn to return from her outing.
Yeah! Judy - I squished (not swished) it
and I got it at the bottom.
Judy - I don't know why you don't get the list - It comes from EM - do you

BBL Feet Up
Have a good afternoon at work Judy
Good afternoon.
Lolly, sorry Annie is slowing down and hope the vet can find some solution. Never easy when they begin a decline. But you and Jack have given her a good long life. Hoping for the best.
No, I did not conduct the interview. A forensic psychologist from Harvard interviewed Dennis Rader (BTK) Thursday will be an interview with Richard Kuklinski (The Ice Man) conducted by Dr. Park Dietz.
Paula, hope you feel better soon.
Jo, thank you for the birthday updates. Card sent to Tori last week. Robins in our yard also. Spring is near!
Shep tending the nest. He's become a very good dad.
Wishing the eagle can be saved and sent to WCV to continue a long life.
Hoda, I can only imagine what your day holds for you. Never a dull or slow moment. Oh, do you still have Jo's trash can? I think I left it at your flat last night.
Congratulations ahead of time for Lori expecting to be a BV mom again this year. Frequent updates are requested.
Okay, got a customer. Bye
Thanks all, but I'll survive, it's just a cold. Like Sandi said, there are plenty of people worse off than I ! Not complaining here.
Hi, Everyone,
Super busy with work today, but need to say hello here.
Carolyn, I'm SO sorry that Wes didn't make it. My heart aches for you. (((HUGS)))! Prayers for you and the whole family. Prayers for Shannon, too!
WV sUSAn, prayers for your friend having surgery today. Hoping and praying for an excellent outcome.
Lolly, prayers for Annie, and for you & Jack! Hoping for the best.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MR. BILL!!!
Lori, so glad your vultures are back!
Well, gotta get back to work. Will check in later tonight, after dinner. HAGD, everyone! :o]
...Anxious to hear from Lynn when she gets back home. Prayers continue nonstop!
The first pictures of the Black Vulture pair's return are on my blog!
Sorry, I'm starting early this year! :)
Lolly, do keep us posted on Annie's every move. I know how much you love her!
Love and hugs to JEWELS and the entire family during this time. Prayers to ease your pain, as well.
Did JUDIE say she had a customer? LOL
Lori, glad the TV's have returned! Yay!
Lolly, hope the shot helps Annie.
Happy Birthday to Lynn's Mr Bill.
Hope Lynn enjoyed Frank and Irene carting her around!
Hmmm, Judie....student customer...cat customer...husband customer?
What a day! Can I just say I am glad that it is over? Well it's not really over because I have that stinking 4 hour meeting again tonight.
Hi all, just checking in before I leave work.
Lynn, glad you are getting out today! Hope to read later that you did just fine! Very sorry that Wes didn't make it. And that Shannon has kidney stones.
Lori, now that you have seen the BVs around the barn looking, it's another sign spring is here!
As far as I am concerned, spring starts March 1. Meteorological Spring. The time when the 3 coldest months in these parts are finally over. I say this every year. LOL!
Oh, Happy Birthday to Mr. BILL!
Hi LYNNE! Let's hear it for Robins, Black Vultures and Meteorological Spring! It's so nice to have you back!
Lolly, I'm sorry Annie has stopped eating. And elimination is way down. You didn't mention how long since she has eaten. I'm holding your hand virtually while you are at the vet.....
AND, Lori, a big flock of RWBB, Grackles and Cowbirds showed up Saturday morning. Robins yesterday. Saw a dead groundhog on the way to work, sad, but it means the GHs are coming out of hibernation. And the mornings are getting so noisy with birds singing now! WOOOO HOOO
heading out....see ya later!
Student customer -- at least it wasn't a future serial killer (I hope).
Lynn, sorry I forgot earlier. Happy Birthday to Bill. Hope he had a special day.
DanaMo, may the four hours go swiftly. My sympathies.
Hi Andi!
Um, where's Hoda? Bet she's having fun with Jo's trash can!
AM in the PM tonight. Eggs, etc.
Lynne - you left, I was going to tell you James and I have been seeing Red-Winged Blackbirds in Berkeley Springs near a little pond with cattails...
I am waiting on Grackles and Cowbirds !
Hello Afternoon Eagle Pals..
Beautiful Day Today.....
Wowser of an ISS flyover tonight hereabouts...
plug in your zip code here and see what's UP in your area:
ISS Flyover Site
Shep changed directions while I was typing....
He looks great and so comfortable
for ISS here,
7:26 at brightness of -4
that will be kind of bright like Venus...
rises WNW and will sail ESE -
look for the bright object like a plane with NO blinking lights...
Lori:
So excited to hear the Black Vultures have returned..
I can envision the little bar,
Best Wishes for a Great Nesting and Fledging Season...
Margy - you and I had a conflicting
edit......... as usual my comment
was soooooooo long.............
watching next to see how Lolly and Jack's visit to the vet with dear Annie has gone...
and how Lynn's afternoon has been
Happy Birthday Wishes to Bill
xoxo
also wanting to hear sometime how Susan's friend's surgery went
Stepping back, being quiet, and watching the nest....
Hope everyone enjoys their evenings...and that DanaMo's meeting does not REALLY last four hours this evening...
I'm sorry Jo.......
bummer....
Hi all. Home from my Tuesday and have caught up on the blog.
LOLLY, holding my breath that the vet finds a fix for Annie!
LORI, congrats on becoming a "vulture mom" (vicariously) again! Loved your pics!!
We are back from the vet. He could not find any new problem. Just same o, same o! No blockage, no fever. He apparenty did not want to give her a shot. They did suggest another food..Fancy Feast. Called it cat cocaine! LOL So, we stopped and bought a couple of cans on the way home. Will give it a try. She was just under 10 lbs, so she has not lost a lot of weight. Time will tell.
LOL Cat Cocaine! Hope Annie likes it!
He did ask what we are going to do when the time comes. Did not like that. Not ready for that!!!!!!
OK, I am going to head outside. I need to get out and breathe fresh air. 73.9 right now.
Lynne, thought of you while at the vets. Wish you had been there to really hold my hand!!!!
Hi,
Just stopping to say hello. Have been busy today. Bowling this morning, then outdoors this evening with Hunter and some of his friends. The basketball goal has gotten a lot of use.
So Fancy Feast is the cat food for reluctant eaters? Kathryn has problems keeping Lucky interested in food from time to time. I will have to tell her.
Lucky is one of those cats who will starve rather than eat something he does not like.
LOLLY, happy to hear that new food may be the solution for Annie - hope it's that easy!!
Also happy to hear that all has seemed quiet at the nest, though the eggs were left alone for about 15 minutes. In light of what happened at BWE, I want to send our eagles and email asking them to never leave their children - unborn or born - unattended for ANY reason. Call me a worrier ...
Love that avatar, Sandi
Hello Cyclone Shirley, hope bowling was fun for you, and basketfall fun for the kids
Lolly - - okay, I hope the Fancy Feast is a HIT...will you put in one of those Fancy Goblets?
Hope Annie has a restful night...
and you two also..
Shep was using his little Big Voice at something a few minutes ago...
rattle in the attic also
SHEP POOF. I CAN HEAR BELLE CALLING!! CAM SHAKING!
Eggs alone
BELLE IN THE ATTIC CALLING
SHEP POOFS
LOTS OF ROCKING ON THE CAMERA
BELLE STILL CALLING
BELL INTO THE NEST AT ABOUT 4
SETTLING ON THE EGGS FACING 11?
BELLE ARRIVES!! SETTLING ON THE EGGS.
Belle in, settling on eggs.
I think the Royal Pair had a little afternoon delight ☺♥
Time to fix dinner.
Thanks MARGY. The avatar isn't Bella but it looked so much like her when she was younger that, when I came across it (don't recall where), I HAD to "borrow" it!
Back on eggs! Hurray~!
I have 2 picky eaters and I just said to
them that there's the back door - out you go for awhile. My two turned up their noses at the Fancy Feast...
Good Luck Annie!
Hi Margy.
Lolly, the panthers were "treated" to Fancy Feast when they first adopted us. We were trying to play nice. It is expensive here (~$.50 for a small can) but now it is the only wet food they will eat. Spoiled. They prefer shrimp and seafood feast. Dry food is always available at 5pm get the good stuff. Hope Annie will respond.
Shirley, glad you had a busy but nice day.
Waiting to hear from Lynn and Susan.
And Good Evening....
Lolly - Do hope Annie gets her appetite back with the new food.
Jewels/Lynn - So sorry to hear about Wes not pulling through early this morning. Will keep your family in my prayers.
Good to see LYNN here this morning. Hoping a day out to the doctor was not too much on you...
LORI - Yay for the TV coming back!! Great pic of the pair!
Paula - take care of that sore throat (Sharon, too). My cold started as one and I am still fighting bronchitis and now an ear infection!! You never know...
LYNN - And now Shannon?? Geeze, you guys need a break in your family!
The only problem with giving in to picky eaters if they are otherwise healthy.......is they will wrap you around their little paw!!
Ours try that, and we show them the dry food! We even stop the wet feedings for a couple days and then they change their tune fast!!
Have collected about 10-12 gallons of sap so far. It is cooking away on the wood stove.
Dennis says there is one tree out back that produces three times more than all the others. Interesting....
That must be the tree he talks to Linda....mayabe even sings to ... sounds great, the Maple Syruping...
sorry to read you are battling some ailments also.....
Afternoon all,
See there is exciting "birds in the barn" news. Plus other harbingers of spring. Snowing at the cottage (8-10" forecast) and rain here (ground is frozen - hope it doesn't end up in the basement).
And 'swishing' screens and 'boices'. Such a creative bunch.
Hope Lynn does well on her outing and receives some encouraging news. That family must be getting afraid to answer the phone with the abundance of bad news lately.
Added "I Come in Peace" to blog.
Interesting, heartstopping & heartwarming.
Hugs to you all. Can never have enough of them.
Thanks, Margy!! It pales in comparison to some of our dear Momsters..... ♥
I finally went to the doctor ant got started on an antibiotic, after my ear starting popping and it sort of scared me!
Heard the geese!
CarolAnne - Just precious pics of the polar bear and dog!! Amazing.
And I could see your eagles!! How awesome was that??
Beautiful, CarolAnne...thank you
ttfn xo
SPLIT not too far away, the dead-end 200th post barricade SPLIT
JO'S trash can here JUDIE says??? I have not seen it the bears must have helped themselves...early for the to be out though??? So it is now a whodun it?A missing US trash can in Canada and did it clear customs???LOL
I read Belle and Shep had more bonding going on today...getting to be a habit I wonder??? They did the same yesterday about the same time...
Busy and fun day...lots going n and in small steps it gets done...
I am glad you are posting your pictures early LORI, it is an exciting event you are witnessing live.
Could use some tips to help me get used to this new way of reading the blog. Like, how do you keep your place on the blog if you "leave" to look at pics on someone's personal blog and then do some scrolling up and/or down? When you come back to the main blog, don't you lose your place and end up reading posts twice or skipping posts? I do.
Also, will I just get used to refreshing the blog on a regular basis? Right now, I find myself posting and then, once I hit "Publish," there are all these recent posts that were published before mine but I hadn't read b/c I hadn't refreshed.
Learned about using the HOME and END buttons to jump the the top and bottom (thanks JO), but that only works for me when I click on the day and get to the tan screen, not when I'm on the white page that I get to by clicking on the number of comments. Is that true for others as well?
Since we got home, Annie cleaned up this mornings little bit of food in her dish. Jack fed her a little bit of Fancy Feast and she ate a little bit of the little bit. Need her to drink too!
Works on this white page for me, Sandi.
For our pet owners/animal lovers:
"Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened."
Be they family pets or wild animals that we come to know, they are a part of us.
Must attend to supper - too long on the phone with Mom. Bubby home soon.
Take care all!
Sandy - click on the outside of this
comments box......... Even while you are writing your comment you can go
to the end....
You cannot refresh while writing a comment or you will lose your comment.
I have the habit of ALWAYS refreshing
before I start a comment so I can see
what is being discussed and/or who is
there.
5 more and we split
Should be painless.........
Hello. It's been a long day. Outing was okay....but I was in some pain after Dr. pushed on my liver. It is enlarged and sore.
Tried to nap after Frank and Irene left, but no luck. Liesl didn't want to cooperate!
Good luck with Fancy Feast for Annie, Lolly! You may have to show tough love to get her to eat anything else.
Margy, loved your typos!
Linda--WOW, your sap is running well. New Hampshire says they are really in trouble there. Hope you feel better----are you on an antibiotic??
Lynne, glad you had a moment's breather to check in from work!
Caught Bill just as he was taking his autistic grandson home from school. No time to talk. Just passed him his card. No, I was not implying that 68 is old----it just doesn't seem possible that he is 68 because he still thinks he's a 30-something!!! But then he does some strenous work and realizes "duh!"
Today's apptmt. was just a follow-up with the radiation doc. Basically he just checked to make sure my skin wasn't burned! He did say that he is keeping in touch with the oncologist.
Time to eat.
Thanks for the update LYNN...♥
3 of the Ohio students have now died. So sad.
