Wonderful and inspiring Morning posts, educational, nature,
all kinds of good things to start the morning with...

Sandi, I wish I could come there and help identify bird sounds ...

me and Lynne, we should make a Road Trip ☺

magpie said...

Remember, this works for me, maybe you pals also:

When you are HERE on this side of the split, and you want to read back to the first part of the thread.....you can hit "Older" and when you are done THERE, Hit your Back Arrow and it should bring you back HERE

magpie said...

I drink everything out of coffee mugs, and I have a powerful collection of them...

some "earmarked" espcially for tea, they are the more delicate ones......

magpie said...

Best Wishes of the day on this Palm Sunday...
for everyone, whatever your activities are, hope they are joyful and encouraging....

Thanks for the friendship and fellowship, it is precious

Have an early start to my day,
yippee I am "retired" for two days ☺

will "See You" later on
xoxo (( All-Day Hugs ♥ ))

magpie said...

That's one all-day fish that Shep brought in, Whale is Right!

Hoda said...

It is coming on five in themorning here so I will go give my bed another go for a few hours...Have a terrific rest of your morning eveyone...

MARGY I drink my tea out of mugs also even though I say a cup of tea...only when it is a fancy occasion do I drink from a tea cup and saucer...with the CFUW we always drink in cups...I think the over eighty group would not approve of mugs!!!

Sandi said...

Tennis @ 9 for me, so I need to scoot so I can eat something and get dressed.

CarolAnne, I also use a coffee mug for my tea - tea cups are too small IMO.

Margy, I've got plenty of room if you ever want to make that road trip to Bethany!

Anyone know anything about variegated zelkove trees? Planted one out front about 4 years ago and it has done beautifully. But I just noticed that, although ALL the other trees around the house (sweet gums, black gums, maples, dogwoods, Japanese maple) are starting to wake up and have buds, this one still looks asleep. The branches bend and don't seem brittle. Did a Google search and can find nothing about when they start to leaf out. Hopefully I'm worrying about nothing, but I love this little tree!

Later all!

JudyEddy said...

My MOM dislike the mug so much She had the hardest time buying cups She would not drink from a mug funny huh When ever we would go to a store she would look for cups always said she had a hard time finding them

BELLE BROUGHT IN MORE FLUGG

JudyEddy said...

SHE SORT OF COVERED THE EAGLETS WITH IT

JudyEddy said...

SHEP IS TUGGING ON STICKS ON RAIL AND BELLE IS PICKING AT FLUGG IN NEST

JudyEddy said...

Lori O. said...

Kate just emailed that the prayers worked last
night because she never thought she would get her to stay.

She gives her warmest thanks.

I'm sitting her working on the station website
and FB page - my new weekend job (LOL)
keeps me busy seven days a week. Enjoy it, but can't wait until they train someone for it.

CarolAnne said...

Rest well HODA.
Have a good day at work JudyE
Walmart here has men's T-shirts with an eagle soaring over pine trees.
Tennis well Sandi!
Enjoy the day everyone - its brand new and waiting to be used up!

As my Dad use to say "It's daylight in the swamp", so must get my day started.

magpie said...

Good to see you CarolAnne, Always !

Thinking of Lynn♥ and all on THIS side of the SPLIT also

Lori....I hope you can work in your pajamas from home if you want
to !

I think that is a wren trilling in the background at NCTC, just not sure which wren !
xo ttfn xo ♥

Lynne2 said...

Good morning!

WOW CarolAnne...a Raven's nest! Very cool!

Lori, so sorry things didn't go so well for Kate and her mom last night. Prayers that this will get easier.

Sandi, get a knife and make a small "peel" in the bark of the tree. You don't have to got deep, just peel or scrape the outer bark. If the under layer is greenish, the tree is fine. Had to learn about this worrying about our baby redbud.

Lynne2 said...

Big 'un and Tiny are COVERED in flugg....like little eaglets in an Easter Basket!

Lynne2 said...

MARGY, are you getting some James time this weekend?

Lynne2 said...

On the subject of tea...my grandpap would make it in his tea cup, and then pour small amounts into the saucer and sip from it! He said it was cooler and he could drink it better that way!

Lynne2 said...

the new cam page is nice! Picture much bigger!

Lori O. said...

Wish they would fill up that entire square with
the cam image instead of having it over in the upper left corner.

Overcast morning in So Cal with a small chance of rain. I guess it should be beautiful later though.

The BWO pair are active, and they are building so fast they might start their clutch significantly earlier than last year's pair.

Have a great Sunday.

movin said...

Lynne, an older next door neighbor, when we lived in the Del Mar area, we used to call "Grandpa", did exactly the same thing with his oversized saucer and his coffee.

Lynne2 said...

Hey Jim!

Lynne2 said...

wow, the MD MegaMillions winning ticket was bought in Randallstown! Down in the not so good part of town.

Lori O. said...

Wow, Lynne2 - it could have been yours! So close!

Lynne2 said...

Not a chance Lori...that's a neighborhood that I stay away from!

grannyblt said...

GM all. I just checked out the live web cam. Those little eaglets are HUGE. And the new web page is nice too. Hope everyone has a nice day.

stronghunter said...

:)

Mema Jo said...

Good Palm Sunday morning everyone. New look on our cam page is pleasing to the eye.
I can tell it is Belle by her neck
feathers but I think it is time to
have the cam zoomed back.

Don't get fooled today

guess it is time for a jump.......

Mema Jo said...

Margy, thanks for the page turning tip.
Really works well and so no more reason
to jump back once you are here and want to go over and come right back here.
Now that makes sense - right ?

hedgie said...

Palm Sunday greetings, and April Fool's as well.

New cam page still times out but have to refresh page.....no play/pause button I can see. It did well until my screen saver took over.

Tea and coffee in saucers...remember my Dad and my Pop both doing that sometimes!

Hope everyone is plannning a special day of some sort!

Lori O. said...

Kate expresses her gratitude.
They were downstairs drinking coffee - her Mom said she wouldn't eat
& she was going home.
Well, she just emailed and they got Mom back upstairs to her bedroom - a huge feat - but accomplished.
Maybe she'll take a nap and settle down a little.
A lot would be nice!

Anyhow, thanks you greatest prayer warriors!

hedgie said...

Funny how the eaglets were SO covered with flugg earlier. Really plotzed now, especially big guy!

Lori O. said...

Good Morning, Lynn! I hope you're in for a great, feelin' strong and NO nausea kind of day!

Lolly said...

Just a quick good morning. Time to eat a bite and leave for church. HAPPY PALM SUNDAY!

I have not been on much this weekend...love the new look of the cam. When did it change? This morn? Did we know it was going to change? Help...I am lost!

Gotta run. BBL after church! Yes, and prayers for Kate and mom!

(((hugs)))

WV sUSAn said...

Odin has arrived at Loch Garten. Flew in to the nest wita fish for EJ and proceeded with digging and nestorations. Poor Blue XD but YEAH for Odin!

WV sUSAn said...

Good morning to all and Happy Sunday.

stronghunter said...

Belle watching over the little guys.

stronghunter said...

Now she is tenting.

Mema Jo said...

Looks as though EJ needs to make a choice! This could prove disastrous -
keep us posted Susan........

BWO cam - I can't get a picture on the cam - timer is going but black screen.
The BWE cam is ok.

Good Morning Lynn!
Any special plans for you today? I wish I had gotten ready and gone to Market! Not sure if Megan took plants this time - I know there were bakery items there from the Stone Hearth Bakery.. Look on FB at the Market pictures from this morning.

glo said...

Blessed Palm Sunday to all of you entering Holy Week. Oh the memories this week holds for me.

stronghunter said...

Belle seems to be watching something.

NatureNut said...

Wow, the cam pic seems larger. I saw thatv new set up last night, but cam wasn't working.

Happy Palm Sunday and April Fool's Day. Girl I work with got married Friday. She really wanted Ground Hog or April Fools Day!!☺

About 2 evenings ago before dark, I saw the funniest interaction with the two chicks. Both were asleep next to each other in the bowl. One closest to camera was strecthing wing and hitting back chick. Back one stood up and popped #1. Then the front chick finally backed out of the bowl and did a P.S!!!!

Sandi said...

Hi all - back from tennis! Lynne2, thanks for the tip on the tree. Scraped the bark and the trunk is green as green can be, so it must just be a tree that leafs out a little later. All of my crape myrtles are still asleep as well.

I am trying to talk Dennis into hopping in the car to ride over to James Farm Ecological Preserve to see if the osprey pair have returned or to Assawoman Wildlife Refuge to look for the eagle nest that I know is there somewhere. So far, he is resisting!

I see that our eaglets are on the move today and are getting suntans! They are SO CUTE!!!

hedgie said...

Cute story, L oretta!!!

I am feeling a little stronger today, and nausea not a problem since last Sunday! TG!

Did a couple of chores, and now waiting for the therapist to do my healing and my back massage.

Sandi said...

Yay Lynn!!!! Enjoy that massage!

Brian just called from Tanzania. Turns out that Lynnis isn't crazy about the Kindle Fire he bought her for Christmas - prefers the web browser on her iphone, plus he just bought a new ipad. So, I'm buying Lynnis's KF with a leather cover for a great price! Will have it in a few weeks!

Wore Denny down so we're off to search for raptors in Delmarva!! Later!

stronghunter said...

Lynn, so happy to hear see that you are feeling better.

stronghunter said...

Shep in. Whole family in the nest.

stronghunter said...

Belle has poofed.

Mema Jo said...

I saw Belle poof - Shep is now in charge . His sidekick is up also.
He had been sleeping with the fish for a pillow.......

Hi Shirley

Enjoy and relax Lynn ♥

Mema Jo said...

Shep is feeding himself
Little one has his eyes him...

Mema Jo said...

They are both going to gang up on dad now

Mema Jo said...

I don't see how Shep can ignore his 2 hungry kids

stronghunter said...

Looks like Shep is feeding one of the babies now.

NatureNut said...

NEW THREAD!! Yippee! ☺

Mema Jo said...

Shep is feeding himself at times and then the Biggy but Littly has yet to
get some..... Share - Shep - Share

stronghunter said...

Heading
over
to

new
thread.

Lynne2 said...

uh oh....

Say it ain't so!

DanaMo said...

Hey Lori, sorry it wasn't going to well with Kate's mom. I hope the situation improves. Such a difficult time. I don't look forward to it either. My parents are 70 and 74. Last weekend my dad fell at Mass and I wasn't there. Someone called to tell me about it. I fear this and more with my parents.

LYNN YOUR ON THE WRONG DAY COME ON TO SUNDAY

Hi, Everyone,

Hope you all had a blessed Palm Sunday, and April Fool's Day.

We have had quite an afternoon and evening. The neighbor who lives next door to our desert house called, and told us that our gardener came over and told him that someone broke into our house, by breaking one of the patio sliders on the back side of the house! We called Security, and the Sheriff. The Sheriff called to let us know that it looks like a bunch of teenagers were having a party and drinking in the house.
There's apparently not a lot of damage, but they did leave some graffiti on the wall. He said it's not going to be a difficult fix.
However, Kubby had to call his boss and get tomorrow off, and we are both going to make the trip up there to take care of the situation. We've called the insurance company. They were looking up someone who boards up broken windows, and were supposed to call us back, but they never did. When we tried to call them, the number was "changed or out of service" with no new number on the voice mail. Please pray that nobody will break in again before we can get the slider boarded up.
Security is going to keep a close eye on the place, but I'm not sure whether they will be checking out the back side of the place, or just driving by. Golly, it seems there's always something. We didn't drive up there today, because we figured it would be nearly impossible to get someone to board up the broken slider at 4:30 or 5 pm on Palm Sunday. Hope we have some success tomorrow. It's a 90-minute drive one way. Emma will have to stay home alone, so we'll be concerned for her while we are gone. We hope we will be able to sell that house before too long, because it's becoming an unnecessary source of stress for us. It's a really complicated situation, though, and we need to find a probate attorney who knows real estate. My cousin is a part-owner, and we haven't seen or heard from her since about 1994. She hasn't contributed a cent to either the payments, or any repairs. Tried an internet search to find her, with absolutely no success.
More prayers, please! The place was completely refurbished inside about 5 years ago, but we haven't rented it out. My Dad, when he rented the other house he owned just down the street, had the place trashed by the renters. Yikes! MTBR tomorrow....

Very happy to hear that Lynn was feeling better today! Hooray--no nausea! Hope the massage was just what the doctor ordered. Sending love and (((HUGS))), and prayers for your healing continue!

Lori, praying for the situation with Kate's mom. Certainly hoping it works out well! That's a tough one, for sure.
