Thanks Mits for the heads up
was just thinking about a new thread:)
I'm going to get my belated 3:00 cup of coffee and then take a break.
You must have 'thought it to come true'
BBILW
Hi Mema, Hi Mits...I guess I have good timing to get the new thread
yes you do, phyrfly:)
Good afternoon everyone!
yes, Jo I have espn:)
Yay! New thread! Good afternoon everyone! Sharon needs to work on the steps for the Egg Roll/Wiggle Wiggle dance!!!
Yay! New thread! Good afternoon everyone! Sharon needs to work on the steps for the Egg Roll/Wiggle Wiggle dance!!!
what's up, Sharon?
And she is not afraid to use it, right Mits? ESPN that is!
Hey hey that is my job to say new thread.
Afternoon all. Great story about the Hoover.
Also about the homemade snow shoe rescue. Margy will be glad to hear about that.
Prayers for Greg. Doesn't sound promising.
that't right, watch it all the time:), you know I was kidding, right?
just wanted to see if anyone was paying close attention.
well sooooory, Ceil:), no it does not sound good, I had read about it on WMDT yesterday, at the time, did not know he was an MSMU graduate.
Happy Shrove Tuesday. Did not wear my beads today I am not ready for Lent to start. Pancake dinner at the Lutheran Church is cancelled.
yeah, Lent has snuck up on us....got to go to the store and get the stuff to make pancakes yet, it is freezing out there...don't feel like going.
I agree it is cold out there. Walked to the store and then walked to meet MM at the restaurant. Had hot chocolate it was good.
Just checked on the nest. Windy and my live feed keeps stopping. Shut it down
yeah my live feed has been bad today...worked ok with FF, but FF caused a whole slew of other problems...so shut it down...BTW FF did move Favs over to their bookmarks, but it moved everything I had when I had Comcast, not Verizon, have not had Comcast since 08.
Eagle is calling out.
Calling out repeatedly.
talk about strange and bizarre, just put live feed back up, eagle started to call out, feed froze, and audio of commercial came on and eagles call out was magnified like it was a dozen eagles calling...really strange.
Hello all. Finally got the heart to checkin on the nest to find the parent sitting there screeching her lungs out. Does everyne still think there is a third viable ewgg in there?
Someone wants a break! Eagle on the nest calling out,
Hmmm, calls are continuing...
That poor eagle. Has a funny clicking in her call too. They sure have had a hard time of it.
Candy - we have only seen 2 eggs. Only Time will tell if the first of those 2 is viable.
Paula, you have seen 2 eggs! Do you think they are starting over again then? How has the weather been up there lately. Hopefully there will be no more snow to challenge them.
Wind sounds very strong tho.
I couldn't get the live feed in school today, but have been checking in on them during school from time to time. Someone is turning deaf ear to her calls for sure.
We have a loud eagle in the nest. The pic and sound are better.
So she has been calling out for 20 minutes or more, huh?
Megan - cool snowshoe story, thanks for the link.
Candy - one of the eggs is the one she laid last Tuesday in the snowstorm. The second one was laid this past Saturday.
I would guess there is something nearby she doesn't like this close...or she is really calling for a break!
Candy, 4th egg was laid a few days ago. A new dadster, JT, who seems to be a real expert, feels that it is indeed a 4th one to this clutch, rather than the beginning of a new clutch. He says there are several weeks between clutches if that were to occur.
Well I just hope everything is ok.Thanks Paula.
I tried to raise the window so the million starlings out here could hear Belle but the window is locked. Dernit! That would have been funny!
Our girl is not happy!
And thanks Lynn for the info. So the poor Belle has had four eggs this year. I do hope and pray that she at least gets these two.
Megan, I see that you and your husband must have survived those terrible storms you had up there. I sure hope your greenhouse did too. You two seemed as dedicated as Liberty and Belle are.
I like the idea of opening the window so the starlings could hear.
Darn, went to bus stop, can't believe she is still yelling.
Thanks, Candy, Gh is looking good.
What in the world?
Sounds like Hidey!!
So glad to hear that Megan.
My school is on a 2-hour delay tomorrow.
Somebody commented that I would need a map to find my way there.
One local high school--the one Will and Susan graduated from--has roof damage in the auditorium and is closed the rest of the week.
Just saw something fly by the nest, not sure if it was Lib but she sure got a lot louder.
I saw that too.
Oh Wow - I could finally see the two eggs, see AND hear the wiggle wiggle and also see the swaying sycamore balls, and hear Belle still calling out...it is Belle right?
Nope no pics of the new 'do
but I was sure you would enjoy seeing my Megan Flowers from last June ☺
So glad our tree does not sway like NBG's -
that nearly 2,000 pound nest is not swaying one bit
DINNER!!
Dinner just arrived, but the provider is eating it
Brought her some food, she is happy now!
get on those eggs!
TWO EGGS!!!
Good afternoon dear ones, the suspense is killing me. It looks like I will have to stop the lurking and communicate. Mits' husband has to have it right on the nail, "It is what it is!" I am praying for just one little Spunky or Hidey. We'll see. The college shut down today. Happens rarely. Catching up on laundry. Have a blessed rest of the afternoon and evening dear hearts. mauley donna
@*## cam stopped...yes, I was still watching, thanks for asking.
Totally inspiring....
Liberty has stepped up to the (nest) plate!
Go Dad !
Hi Donna....and all here now ☺
Missed the action. My phone rang. Kathryn is going to be late tonight--they are very busy.
Sharon or Sissy, somebody said her husband puts glass in trucks. Kathryn's Tom does that, too, along with car glass.
Man oh Man the Winds!
I'm pinching myself here, no add and no question and I'm still watching !
My live camera went off shortly after Liberty arrived with dinner too. Never saw the switch, but am glad to hear that it happened and now all is quiet again.
Hey Margy, did you see the homemade snowshoe story in today's Journal? I posted a link on the old thread.
Me Shirley, Steve works for Pilkington. He happened to call just now...they are a MESS with orders and he won't be home anytime soon :(
Absolutely Megan!
I can't watch much and type....
that story did NOT make today's paper copy of the paper.....
thank you so much! They look just like the ones I saw !
Great story, love the rucksack detail too
THANK YOU !!!
he doesn't install, he is the warehouse lead.
wiggle wiggle goes the eagle
Just saw something fly under the nest as well, plus a couple of small visitors fluttering around!
Mits
Prayers of course for Greg Forte and his family
I read the link, does not sound encouraging.....
thank you for asking us to share with prayer
My luck is running out on live feed
Sounds like a rattlesnake there!
Oh to have the sun on the live feed that we have on the still cam !
Just back to say hi. Sounds as if everyone has had a reasonably good day.
Trying to catch up. BBL
So, did Belle eat and then fly off, or fly off with the eats!
She flew off with the eats.
The demise of the icicle - -
nice to see the eagle avatar Paula
Glad they did not lock you IN the classroom Judie ☺
I'm thinking Belle TOOK the chow Paula
I think the question on the live feed, (for me) should be "Are you still Trying to Watch ?
YES!
CRC finally confirmed yesterday evening that chick #2 did not survive. Apparently they did a quick "chick check" this afternoon on the remaining chick as well. Mom happily back brooding the little rascal :)
Dear me, somebody tried to melt snow and ice on a roof with a propane torch. House burned down. Well, I guess the snow melted.
Thanks, Sharon and Margy. Yup, the icicle melted and fell off...
tough news, Paula, but glad the other little eaglet is doing well
sorry Lynne and Shirley, that your loved ones have to work late...
hope it translates into more $$
I am still having trouble with my live feed freezing everything up. Maybe I should unfreeze it with a propane torch?
That's crazy Shirley...
Happens sometimes too when folks try to thaw out frozen pipes esp underneath mobile homes
I've got live feed down so you all keep talking about it...
Hope so, too, Margy. Kathryn's vet bill was steep, so it's already spent, I'm afraid. Tiny bottle of eye drops was $54, and that was only the medication.
Some problems can't be solved with a propane torch.
The trip back to old thread to pick up Megan's link to the Snowshoe Story is well worth it!
At 1:40 pm on old thread
and the request for prayer which Mits posted, at 9:52 am
Heat tape is a good thing for pipes under mobile homes.
incoming and outgoing, Shirley
the $$
hope the eye drops work, it will be well worth it, surely....
Duct tape and WD40 is all you ever need. If it is stuck, use WD40. If it is loose, use duct tape.
yes, and sometimes a low watt light bulb well away from any insulation
Sometimes the heat tape light is ON but it really is not working.
Ask someone that knows.....ME -
I have spent many an hour underneath a mobile home with a hairdryer, small enough to scootch under there. I DO NOT miss that !
We are supporting the local economy, just keeping the money flow going.
Belle is getting some much needed flying time...
and Liberty is getting some much needed Roosting Time!
It is a fine work of art what they have done with that nest cup ♥
oftentimes I have worked a pile of overtime hours, Shirley...only to find I needed a BIG car repair...brakes, rotors, tires...
endless cycle
I just love my Megan Flowers!
All that grunting and groaning, and shoveling.... Megan
keeps people like me, very happy♥
MEGAN....IS YOUR MAILBOX FREE TO RECEIVE MAIL ???
I owe you a Birds & Blooms!
Mailbox is just fine.
Good afternoon. Just heard that we are going to get up into the 60's tomorrow. Hallelujah!
So, Belle was really loud this afternoon, huh? Was she upset about something or just wanting Lib to pay some attention to her?
Jack drove his little "pickemup" truck to the back yard this afternoon and pulled up into an upright postition the tree/shrub that fell over. It is now propped up with a 2 by 4. So, many tree down or injured around here.
OK, who wants to come over and shovel out one of these for Daisy....I'm just too damn tired...
Dog Track
There go the geese
Two eggs in view.
so glad to hear your daffydils are pushing up the dirt Lolly, and
nice work by Jack and the pickemup truck ♥
Megan I didn't really mean that you should have to work so hard for everyone else's delight...that didn't sound the way I was thinking about it
the most beautiful view of proud Papa and egglets just a minute ago !
An eagle left and an eagle returned. That's all I know, and I am sticking with it. Who left and who returned is beyond me. lol
No worries, Margy, I knew what you meant:)
and I didn't even see it, just saw what I saw when I did, someone else no doubt will know !
I sure enjoyed the live feed for a little while this afternoon, the sounds and sights....
Lib left, Belle is on eggs. I think... trying to make dinner and watch.
so I guess Belle was inspecting Liberty's work then! thanks Megan
ttfn
got to take care of a few things here.
I have a lot of ice cream to go through tonight, and neighbor lady will get some too !
oh, one of my nicknames once was "Miggles"
I kind of feel like that with all this curly hair ☺
Ah, Shirley, you too can be a stand-up comic in your next life. Propane torch? Stuuuuupid! Sorry the med/vet cost so much. Hope is helps and Luna is better quickly.
Liked being locked out of the classroom. Wish it had lasted 75 minutes.
Cool site for butterfly lovers.
Butterfly
Oh! Baby Moon is out in the West/Southwest...think it was an infant last night but the clouds covered it up here...
going to that site, Lynne, I do love butterflies ☺
have heard that there is a Butterfly Garden at NCTC but never really found out for sure about it....
something to investigate about
Birds & Blooms calls them Flying Flowers ☺
That is a FANTASTIC site, Lynne, I am weak on identifying many of them, one of the favorites I saw near the fish hatchery not far from here was the Giant Swallowtail
that was BEFORE I had a digital camera :(
Love that dog run, Lynne. Sent the link to my kids.
loved the dog run and butterfly site....Wanda and GG are butter-fly mommas:)
I am so anxious for SPRING !!!!! I love butterflies and have lots of milkweed to plant...and my butterfly bush we've dug out from under the snow each storm to try to keep it from crushing. It's only very little.
hey Lynn...just turned on the Classic Country Station on fios and guess what...Johnny Cash with Riders in the Sky!!!
Lots of wild orange butterfly weed here Lynne...and some but less yellow ones
and I got a butterfly/milkweed plant from Megan at Market last year...
yellow, my favorite color !
also have some wild swamp milkweed, beautiful pink color...
with loads of butterflies around them, not far from here
last summer...
Lynne...were you around for Wanda's and GG's monarch butterfly fledging adventures ?
Loretta is very good at id'ing butterflies, and Lolly also ☺
Love the dog track...my dogs have almost made theirs a circle...
A snowblower could make one of those...
If you want to hear spring...turn on the PH cam and just listen...
And Lolly, I am jealous of your daffodils...please post some pics soon.
Cool, hummer on the PH nest
Hi, Everyone!
Trying to catch up a bit on the blog.
MITS, prayers for sure for your friend, Greg, and for his family! Very strange circumstances regarding his disappearance. Prayers for those searching for him, too!
Getting here pretty late in the day. Hit the road running this morning, and have crossed almost everything off my 'to do' list. Got 3 loads of wash done so far, went to the P.O. twice (MTBR later), went to the bank, and got new sheets on the bed. Phew! I'm done, for a while.
Guess what?! After going to the Post Office early this morning, the mailman brought paperwork from the EDD to renew my unemployment! Made a second trip to the P.O. to get it mailed in QUICKLY! YIPPEE!!
Just about 30 minutes ago, about the time Hubby got home from work, we were surprised to see a single Band-Tailed Pigeon in our yard, on the table, eating LOTS of bird seed!
Haven't seen one of them in a while, and last saw a pair of them. This guy was alone. Gosh, he's huge! (Almost 14 inches long~~looks nearly the size of a chicken!) Our Mourning Doves were kinda intimidated. Hope the big guy returns, maybe with a friend!
BTW, since it says in the Scriptures that we're to "Help others with the same help we ourselves have received," am praying that you guys get some of the weather we're having, and SOON!
It's 80 degrees here today and sunny~~almost too good to be true!!
Want to send it your way!!
I was here for the Monarch that Wanda and Gene raised!
I sent away for free milkweed seeds and also gathered some from Kent Island (on the Bay) and from Loch Raven Reservoir where we fish. I guess I ought to plant the seeds soon...Megan??
Will post some pictures when more open up. I actually picked some and have them in the house in a vase. They were open in the garden with the gazebo that we can not see from inside the house. There are many flowers about to open so will get a picture soon.
Band-tailed Pigeon, have to look that one up Andy !
thanks for offering to share your weather, sounds like a great "got-done" day for you
I am glad to say I was able to put 6 pics on the Momsters album, including two good ones with egg views
I am playing catch up - don't know but you all are moving too fast for me...
be back after 30 more comments...
need to go to PH and daydream ☺
so here I go
Oh, and the Bird Clock just chirped Robin ♪
Jack is actually watching Curling on the Olympics. Going to prepare dinner.
BBL
I saw some today Margy!!! And a copper's hawk! (not in the same place at the same time!)
Steve called, on the way home...gonna go fix the poor man some hot supper...BBL
oh yeah, just took Daisy Mae out for her walk and WOW the baby moon is SMILING at me!!
Maybe you to whom it concerns already know this.... Washington County Public Schools will be operating on a two-hour delay Wednesday, Feb. 17, the school system announced on its Web site Tuesday afternoon.
Public schools in Berkeley and Jefferson counties in West Virginia will be closed Wednesday, but will operate on two-hour delays Thursday and Friday.
Will BBL, you guys.
Dinner's almost ready, and Hubby will want to visit some. See you after dinner! :o]
And Frederick County MD is closed again...those kids will be going to school until July!!
I just got a Valentine's Day card in the mail. Thanks friend but I have to tell you that Mopsy, Hairy, Buphals and Scooby were pretty jealous that their names weren't on the envelope! :) Thanks Margy!
Lynne loved the dog track. Daisy needs that but she seems to be the type to jump over it.
Margy we got your card today also. Thank you.
Ruh Ro, Sharon...MY BAD !
I have written all those names down AGAIN for Easter time...coming up in six weeks ☺
Hope Buddy did not gloat! xo lol
I have to tell you all that I ran out of Valentine's cards and couldn't get to the store to get more so I know I missed a few of you....but not in my heart, you all are ALWAYS there ♥
I think a lot of kids are going to lose out on their Spring/Easter break, and maybe even still have to extend the school year.
Bet lots of grandparents are getting more grandchildren time through all this
and maybe some teenagers are earning some babysitting money ☺
well we have only received mail once since Feb.5th...last Thursday the 11th....
Having a bit of squirrel for supper at CO. Only one egg slightly visible.
no new CBS shows tonight:(, repeats because of Olympics
Westminster finals tonight too.
One in the box one on the perch at Valmont also
Oh Lolly Colorado Ft ST Vrain is awesome thanks for the alert !
I boosted the economy at the hairdressers today
Same gal been looking after me for 20 years through 5 different salons. I always get the special shampoos and stuff too.
my annual vanity expenditure
Was over looking at ggd video.
My TV night for 3 in a row.
I'll check back during commercials of which there are many!
BBILW
egg roll and a wiggle and bedtime at Colorado
I smell a computer burning...bet someone lit a torch to it:)
PICKUMUP IS ALSO A TERM USED BY TRUCKERS TO DESCRIBE A PICKUP TRUCK. They do have so very many colorful names for different things:)
I so loved the video of TOM SCHNIEDWIND doing a PRIVATE PLUNGE at his house. One crazy dude!
Dang it all Mits, I
should have read before posting.. Guess I will be able to watch the olympics!
OH NO, MR. BILL, reruns on CBS?!
Tell me it isn't so:(
It was either Baltimore or DC that have announced they were extending
Valentine's day to this weekend. Florists and Restaurants could feel the loss this past 14th.
It's a heart breaker isn't it Wanda!
Well we also have the dog show...
Egg roll eggs in view our nest
darn it...WAS....I did get a pic though
no doubt...the trucks bringing in the flowers to the florists could not get there !
So many businesses have taken a hit on this one....
223 pics in the album and counting...will make a very intersting slide show...
maybe we don't want to watch all that snowy stuff again :(
Hi Wanda!
from the road I saw beautiful GG sitting at the kitchen window around 3:30 this afternoon ☺ ♥
How very special of you to get her some sweaters rather than go for your computer...
Angel here on earth ♥
Margy, don't know if new school calendar law goes in to effect this year or for '10-'11 year. If not, they can't extend past June 7th.
Taping Westminster for weekend viewing. Mens short program skating tonight. Plus Idol and Lost---thank goodness for DVR!!
I cleaned house today, so I am tired! Still want to throw in a load of laundry, but will wait til I take my bath so I can throw in my comfy jeans.
understand Hedgie..going to be a real challenge for teachers everywhere hereabouts !
Saw where Shirley posted of some auditorium damage at the school Will and Kathryn went to...wonder how our schools inspection is coming along
guess I better start knocking down some ice cream . 3 hrs and 37 mins until Lent starts
Back again. Dinner over.
Lynne, thanks for the butterfly site. Looked and got hooked. With all the damage to shrubs from snow may try to replace with many more butterfly attracting plants. Can watch butterflies for hours.
Maybe someone can fill me in on CRC Savannah. I take it neither she nor Derek can fly any significant distance. Is their nesting area enclosed (similar to NZ)? If neither can fly any distance, how is food obtained? Bad timing. Missed feeding times.
Checked CRC quickly when I got home. Saw a man, maybe a second one, approaching the nest area. Guess they were the ones who confirmed second chick did not survive.
Off to watch some tv. BBL
Check this out...Happy Fat Tuesday
Mardi Gras--Bourbon Street
Holey Moley Phyrfly...
I know it's a challening night for law enforcement
I thought it was interesting to watch a little of. I wouldn't ant to be on the force tonight for sure.
Margy, if you can't finish your ice cream, put carton in baggie---it should keep! How is Lorraine? Does she have family taking her back and forth to hospital everyday??
Christie and Shannon had yummy pancakes at the firehall tonight. I'm jealous!!
Deputy Carroll of our county was released from the hospital yesterday by the way....and then the Sheriff went in for some undisclosed ailment....
been working night and day with the snowstorm activity...like lots of other folks
Wanda, I do not know if he is related to Buzzy Carroll or not, will try to find out
I remember we peeked in at New Orleans last year. Think it would be fun if you are sitting up on a balcony. Sure would not care to be in that mass of people. Glad they are having fun,.
Think I am going to work on slides tonight while watching the Olympics.
BBL
No, if you can't finish your ice cream, send it over fed ex!
A quick egg roll...
wish I could just deliver it in person Megan!
Lynn, Berkeley Senior Services is doing the transports
Hey Lynn, I read where you are making the Great Escape Tomorrow -
Have Fun !
Ahhhh! That is nice, just saw a nice egg roll. Now back down...wiggle wiggle.
Sharon, are you working on those dance steps?
Judie - the folks there at CRC supply the fresh fish daily for the eagles.
TH and PH could have their eggs any day now. WE nest is still off the air, they are working on repairing yet. The nest is in real need of nestorations...I am wondering when they are gonna get with it...
I've been watching the short programs also...
isn't it some sort of sin to NOT finish ice cream?
Before I go I just have to say that I am now in love with Ragdoll cats. I have always, until now, had Siamese. Our last Siamese, my most favorite cat ever. looked a lot like a Ragdoll, only with short hair. She had the light grey points. She was like a puppy, followed us everywhere. Anyway, I think the Ragdolls are beautiful.
Really must get busy with slides.
Egg roll
We should all show up at Margy's and have our own Mardi Gras celebration and gorge ourselves on ice cream. We can eat until midnight!
Update from CRC on the chick removal -
The keepers entered the bald eagle aviary because there was a fight between two of the resident eagles. Looking out for the safety of the eaglet they removed the adult eagle that started the fight. If you watched the camera later in the day you would see that Savannah came right back to the nest and even fed the baby. ...A little later Derek also joined her on the nest. Thank you all for your concern.
There is a very strange pinkish glow to the eastern sky....weird.
thanks Paula...that's pretty scary...the fight, wonder how often that kind of thing will happen
Can you imagine working at a Center like that...
Hedgie it can't be the sunset at this time of evening. Is there a fire near by.
An Ice Cream Social would be most fun right about now Shirley
All Are Welcome at the Roost ☺
LYNN.....there IS a weird pink glow in the east....wonder what it is?
Can someone link me to the CRC site?
Lynne - One thing for sure is that you could never join the clean plate club!
I see it from here too Lynn...you have the scanner on? hear anything?
I Might try to google it
what is the "clean plate club"!
Daisy and I are going out for a better look at the weird sky. If we don't come back soon, then it was aliens and they took us. (they'll probably send her back)
Bourbon Street is have their Mardi Gras Bash big time.
Street looks like the OC Boardwalk in the middle of summer.......
Googling was not such a hot idea...some pretty weird stuff on there.
it is diminishing now
OK, we are back. No aliens. Not sure what it is. I would say it's some kind of glow from the City (Baltimore) but I can't imagine you'd be seeing it all the way over where you guys are. It's not quite as pimk as it was the first time I looked.
Going to make some ice cream and head to bed. Yeah, and I wonder why the scale broke when I got on it...
Good night and prayers for all!
Lynne not coming from Baltimore. The sky is clear here.
Well, it's probably a good time for me to scram before THE SPLIT !
Thanks for the report Lynne and Daisy !
I have a Birds & Blooms Extra, a monthly version of B&B but a little different, that was a gift from brother in law, and I only get ONE of them. Going to check it out and daydream about Spring ☺
Work looms Wed at 6 am, so I will be up at 4 am...
I had fun today on here, sorry I ate up so much blog space...
Prayers for all our needs, and that everyone, Rests Well...
Good night from curly Miggles.
so long ice cream for six weeks.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
S P L I T
Good night all. Restful sleep.
