Good morning everyone. Haven't made it here for 2 days so this morning its my first stop. Porch deck is about 85% done. I wonder if i will finish it. I am down to those individual spindles. Maybe one a day and it will be done in oh 2 or 3 weeks LOL. Photography has become very busy for me. That is a very good thing and I am loving it actually. Time to peak at our cam. Maybe I didn't miss breakfast at the sycamore palace today.
I think they are waiting for some fresh breakfast, Glo! Soggy night, lots and lots of storming late in the evening... I think they'll be okay, at least there is NO WIND !
Take care, enjoy your projects, especially the photography...
Time for me to head to work now.... ttfn all, Hope today is a Good, Better, Best Kind of Day xoxox (( Hugs ♥ ))
Morning Glo and Megan! Margy, I haven't heard that bird since I first opened the cam. Isn't that always the way! Time for me to get a move on! Will try to check in from school! Have a good one, my eagle friends!
Good morning to one and to all. Wednesday again. By circumstances, I have no massages today! One client is out of town and one rescheduled for tomorrow....
Another beautiful day in Nashville, 54 right now. It feels great out there. HOwever, heading to mid 80's today, and 90's in the next few days. YUCK
JUDYE: i KNOW everyone missed you, but certainly you need time to deal with your loss. You have people ready to help and to support you, (me included) and you know this. Just take your time, you know grief has its own time line. Love you, Sis.
Spent a good part of yesterday afternoon in my flowerbeds and helping a neighbor trim the brush on one side of the street. This morning she and I are going to rake the brush into a pile so maybe one day the city will haul it away. My neighbor is 73 years old and quite the firecracker! It makes me sad though, she is scared of her own shadow sometimes......
My outside critters are keeping me entertained. The squirrels are quite brazen! They get right up on the porch and play. I put out some oranges in hanging feeder for the woodpecker and the squirrels are eating them!
Not a lot going on. Going to work in the yard again today and I have a noon appointment to get this mop (aka hair) trimmed today. I feel like a shaggy sheep dog, lol.
Everyone, have a good day. JUDYE: keeping you close in my heart and thoughts. Hugs, light, and healing to all....I'll check in later.
Good Morning Janet, 'fraid I mighta just missed you...wow busy day with the firecracker, that's nice of you !
Enjoy your day, I understand from a post that Lynne2 made that we are in for some steamy hot weather this weekend also might be time for water balloons, squirt bottles and maybe a dip in the water at Swinging Bridge ☺
Good morning! Jack is already back from looking at the car with the adjuster. She is still there and has a lot of figuring to do. Have picked a place for repair, car will be towed there. She is arranging for a rent car.
Have read the paper on my nice clean patio. Leave for the doctors at 10.
Delphia, aka BirdGirl, posted this on Facebook and I got permission to bring it over here. Momster prayers needed.
Many of you know that I am in remission, having had malignant papillary cancer nearly 15 years ago (at age 25!) which had spread through my lymph nodes. It was technically classified as terminal, but through a lucky twist of Fate, I'm still here. Three months ago, during a followup ultrasound after having a breast cyst removed, it was discovered that I had some nodules appearing in my neck. Since then, those two have grown and two more have appeared. My surgeon is now concerned that the cancer may have returned; I was actually warned years ago that it could come back at anytime, and I have yearly tests done to follow that. On June 6th I will be having one of the nodules removed and tested to see if it is benign or malignant. Anyone who has had cancer will tell you that you become paranoid about it, even if your conscious, logical mind tells you not to worry. What I need from my family and friends is positive thoughts that I don't have cancer again. Thanks in advance for all of your help....
A very busy day here with appointments and I am headed out the door shortly for a walk first and then the day starts. I will check in in the evening when I return.
JudyE so very sorry for the loss of your friend. What you told us about the "moth landing on her hand then staying on the wall and in the morning still there and she took it outside and it flew off". That was just beautiful♥
Lynne so happy that the jump start fixed Steve's car.
Lolly you have waited and waited. I am sure you would have the right to really be upset with those people. Yes keeping uninsured is always the best thing. Happy that your insurance is even going to pay more. I still have to say, "I keep thanking God you was not injuried badly".
Kay I am praying you find the right rehab for after your surgery. You will certainly be missed on the blog. Plenty of prayers for the upcoming surgery.
Sandi I am very glad that you and Dennis was able to meet up with Jo and Ed. What an enjoyable time it must have been. Who is coming home on Thursday you and Dennis or Ed and Jo?
Paula happy you took the time to check in. I am so very, very, happy for the Mr. in your life.
Shirley I hope feeding George smaller meals more often. Gets him back to feeling better. Hope Kathryn is ok from over doing it.
Magpie: MORNING! The firecracker and I just spent 45 min raking and hauling all the brush down the street to a pile. She is now calling the city to come pick it up. I jokingly said to tell them where to send our paychecks to as well, lol.
Sending healing to BirdGirl. Too young, just far too young....
I have just ordered a book. http://www.qirevolution.com/Products.html#local-Cooking-with-Qi
Hope the link shows up....went to Qi Gong year and am now ready to move into veggie smoothies a couple days a week. I've been using raw veggies so much more and over all I feel so much better. I THINK I'm ready for the next veggie adventure!
Jewels I can see you had the right to become upset with Charlie's brothers stepson "Donald". I truely believe that Lynn was right there with you. Not being "happy about the phone call and I don't think she wants Donald getting her house". Remember you are you Mother's daughter and as tender hearted as Lynn was she also had things that made her mad. ♥YOU & Mom/Lynn♥
The saga continues, donald is charlie's brother (mom called him Donald Son) . Teddy is the step son. Although I think Teddy was just doing the phone call for his aunt Donna. She evidenly wants to offer 100 grand for the house. I am so not ready for this. We have tons of stuff in the house to still go thru. Sis and I did knock out the dresser in her room, all of the office and have two shelves done dowstairs and the wicker dresser downstairs. WE did that in just two days. Her next day off isn't until like June now. :( Maybe we can have a sleep over this weekend and knock some more out. Privately there is the neighbor that is interested in the house and others that we know of. so 4 pple interested without for sale signs. Hmmmm
That unfortunetly isn't the asking price. But pretty darn lucky for a offer that high. ALL the other houses in that development have been going for 40 to 80 grand.
Oh Carolyn, a house like your mom's would sell for twice that in these parts!
Glad all went well at the Dr Lolly!
Geesh, they have been out back cleaning up the dump all day. They are using BIG equipment, and tearing up small trees, bushes, not to mention the mess the trail has now become. GRRRRRRRR
Thundering here...poor Daisy has taken to her bed.
In 2000 her house appraised for 200-225 grand!!!! The housing market here took a hard crash and still hasn't rebound. You can get a 300$ home for 150$ or less! Def a buyers market.
Thanks for clearing up the JO issue I thought I may have missed something so was going to read back Thanks SHAR Home for lunch just a in and out I did some quick shopping punched out at 1215 shopped and put away and almost time to go back got caught up toooooo
Good Afternoon ! Sycamore Palace seems to be a serene and peaceful place right now. Lovely.
DELPHIA certainly has my positive thoughts with her. Will look forward to hearing what her June 6 results are, once I'm out from "under" and able to think right again. Haven't decided exactly how I want Julie to spread the word about me. May have her e-mail reports to LORI, MARGY and JO initially and then they can dispense the news. I will have my cell phone a bunch of #'s at the hospital. Julie and the boys will make sure I have computer access frequently once I feel up to it. Certainly by the time I'm in rehab. In other words I don't plan to be out of touch for long and will make sure a condition report is issued the day of surgery.
JEWELS, thinking of you and Christie as you go through things at your Momma's. So glad you have each other and know you'll make the right decisions together ! No need to let anyone rush you. I love the idea of the two of you having a sleepover in that lovely log house. I know LYNN will be there with you ! ♥♥
LOLLY, sorry about all the snafus' that have ensued after the accident. Hope everything will soon be resolved satisfactorily !
PAULA, don't apologize for not being with us quite as much right now. So grand that you've found love again !
Expecting Julie and Seth for dinner after they take Malcolm to the dog park. Just Digourno pizza n' salad, but wonderful to have their company while Hugh is out of town on business.
JUDYE, thinking of you as you mourn the loss of your dear friend. So glad you saw him last Fall and hope you and his wife can get together soon. ♥♥
I know I'm leaving some things out, but please blame the meds ! Love you all ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Yea, Kay! Thanks so much for seeing that we are not out of the loop on your condition. You know we would be terribly upset if we did not hear anything. You know how we are!!! LOL
Guess what....I HAVE WHEELS!!! I am now driving a new 2012 silver Jeep, a smaller car than my Expedition. When I got home Jack told me to get used to it. Two weeks before they can work on it, and then 4 weeks of work. Yikes!!! Thankfully we had no trips planned. But 6 weeks...groan!!! I want MY car!
Hi all, we have an eaglet flapping and bouncing on the rails like s/he is on a trampoline. The way that wind is blowing at the nest, we may see an unexpected launch! Be still my beating heart!!
Hi Sandi! School is almost out! Laurel and the boys are sooo ready! Joseph immediately leaves for Colorado for a week of kayaking, hiking, and bicycling in the mountains with his church group. Joey will be one of the chaperons. Laurel and Jacob will spend part of the week here with us. Yea!
Lolly, this work week is pretty much over. Tomorrow is a field trip all day and I'm off to Baltimore on Friday. Then the kids have 4 days next week and 5 days the week after that! This has been a frustrating year - some with my students but more with my administration and with the school district as a whole! For the first time in my 28 years of teaching, I really wish I was able to retire! But I have to do 4 more after this one.
Was hoping to mow, but it's too wet here...will work on other things tonight like laundry, grocery store...and if I'm lucky, at least putting some flowers I picked up last night into planters.
Sending positive energy and thoughts to DELPHIA and may there be healing and wellness... Hang in there and as the sign says, " DO NOT FEED THE FEARS".
Cooking with my new pots and pans is very enjoyable. I got a set of very good stainless stell pans and when Kristin was here we cooked up a storm every night after our hikes...I have to get used to how well they take in the heat and distribute it evenly...they seem to cook faster than the other pots which I have to account for with liquid and butter/ oil measurments...LOLLY have you got any advice?
Good on you SHAR for taking a photo of the one that lifted when s/he took to wing. Awesome. I will miss them when they are gone...they have done well those two.
LOLLY congratualtions for the rental and I hope they do a very good job fixing your own car...I am glad the Dr. Appointment went well.
My doctor gave me yet another inhaler!!! God help me!!! This time it is a blue one...so I am to use the orange one twice a day and the blue one when things catch...I will take forever to pack and clear customs, almost need a new suit case for medication!!! LOL!!! two inhalers, 1 epipen, for bee stings, and my vitamins and minerals...To answer their question at the border "do you have any drugs?" I will say "yes I am a walking pharmacy!!!" LOL!!!
Meetings went well and the sun came out today...Happy Dance...
HODA you are tooo funny you druggy you!!!! LOL you can always mail or UPS your stuff they are advising that here on the news
KUDOS SHARON for the pic grab did you put in album??? I have been trying to get a video but they don't seem to do it when I am at puter CAMERA SHY I guess or don't want to show off LOL
Do we know someone called Tara Shymoniak? I clicked on her name as she sent me a friends request on FB and no connection to anyone...how did she get my name I wonder???
don't accept her especially if there are no other people Some people just go looking to add up friends What I do is I always send them a mssg and as the how I know them that I don't accept request from strangers I never hear back except one person I had gone to school with so I accepted her
you started it PAULA I just finished it It took two good minds LOL it just came to me when I read your comment and I didn't want to imply incestuous family kissing etc .LOL after they are brother and sister
Jack is cooking breakfast for dinner. Laurel said she did not know what she was going to do for supper and I suggested breakfast and that got me to wanting breakfast. So, it is omelet, grits, and bacon with cresent rolls as I had some in the refrig.
Yesterday the video I took and put on the fan page looks like they were kissing but I think it was just pecking the Pecking Order It was cute pecking LOL I have one of each of them doing wingersize in the nest also I put on it I want to get one of the getting high
Here I am from work! My thoughts and super prayers go out to Delphia-birdgirl!!! hasve been busy in here again!!!! Hoping tonight storms by pass us...finger and toes crossed!!!
Hi, Lolly. I had a craving for grits for breakfast yesterday. I don't know when I have ever even had grits in my house, so I bought some. They were delicious.
Hi Jewels from work! Saw your post on FB about it being 4 weeks without your Mom. Things won't ever be the same again, but gradually, thinking about your mom being gone won't be as painful as it still is right now.
Prayers for Delphia for a good outcome. Isn't 6/6 the same day that Kay has her surgery?
Josh's mom called school today to say that walking is still painful for Josh but he IS walking with the use of a walker. She is hoping that he will come home on Saturday. She said he was sad last Friday night thinking about the 8th grade dance and wishing he was there but he has been a real trooper!
Judy, it sure is good to see you back on the blog!
Paula, are you heading to the beach for the holiday weekend, with or without Mr. Studmuffin?? If so, hit the road early (or late)!
Lolly, happy to hear that you've got wheels!! You drive an Expedition? No wonder you weren't hurt in the crash! Do those things even fit in one lane??
I am beat - not sure why since I didn't even have a full day at school today. Think I'll say goodnight.
See y'all in the AM - hoping for no fog delay tomorrow morning as it will really mess up the field trip schedule!
Shirley, a school project this late in the year?? Hope it's not too involved! What is that teacher thinking? When is Hunter's last day? And how is George doing today?
I got a couple of friend requests from some former students a few months ago. Not ones I would accept, though. Some I am fine with, others not so much.
Yes, drive an Expedition. Used to drive a conversion van. Have to have something big to pull the trailer. Also, need something we can travel with Laurel and boys in comfort as we often take them on trips. Very thankful I was I was in it as her car was demolished and I only have $8000 damage. LOL
Philip Philips just won AI. I am glad. Jessica is amazing and she will do well but if I were to go to a concert, I would rather listen to him than her. But, I would really rather listen and watch SCOTTY! ☺
So sorry George has lost weight. We have always fed Annie dry Science Diet. When she started loosing weight we switched to can food, but keep the dry food out. It is a pain, but she is eating better.
George gets Hill's canned food and I also give him their dry food pretty often. It's their ID prescription food. He has had both urinary and intestinal problems.
If I left food out all of the time for him, I think that he would have eaten himself to death long ago.
Sandi, heading down Friday night...sure there will be Bay Bridge traffic to contend with...oh well!
Also, my brother Phil and his wife and 3 kids and 2 dogs are coming down, plus my brother Steve (who goes down with me a lot), and Michael and Laura, We will have 9 people and 3 dogs!! So, I bought a lot of groceries tonight, going to try to get the potato salad done tomorrow night....plus
In the midst of everything going on at work, it looks like John and Ajay are going to try and purchase a mobile home...it's a double wide, very nice, but I haven't seen it yet. So they are FULL of questions, and need a lot of advice and guidance. Plus, I promised to help them with the $$ down some time ago...so we have been spending a lot of time on the phone.
Ok, gotta go fold the laundry! Didn't get the plants potted...maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, LOL
wheww, a call to 911 from my mother n law. her deceased husbands brother who lives with her is having chest pain and pain in his jaw clean down his right side and trouble breathing. Seriously?? when is it going to stop?
Don't think I have checked in today... Took GG to her pain mgmt. doctor today and appointments have been set up for July to get her last two shots...they will 'kill' the nerve that is responsible for her pain, one on each side of her lower spine. Should last 6 mos. to 1 year. Don't know where to turn next if this doesn't work. Guess we need to think positively. She was feeling well enough to go out to dinner...ate a BIG plate full and chocolate covered strawberries and ice cream for dessert:)
Going to say good night now. Sending love and prayers to all of you♥
Have been very busy again today catching up on laundry, housework, and yard work. It was a very nice day here today, so took full advantage, and got lots of trimming done in the yard.
Shar, thanks for the update on Delphia. Mega, mega prayers being said for her!!!
Lynne2, forgot to mention last night, I think--SO glad that Steve's car jump started OK!
Carolyn, PRAYERS for your mother-in-law's brother-in-law! Sure hope he's OK! Please keep us posted about him!
Wanda, I'm glad that GG was feeling well enough to enjoy dinner and that yummy dessert! Prayers that the 2 shots in July will do the trick! By the way, LOVE your adorable avatar! :o]
Shirley, prayers continue for George. Hope he starts gaining back some of the weight he lost! Tell him I said "Meeeow," please.
Well, golly, it's getting kinda late here, so I'd better head for bed. Have said prayers for everyone, and every creature. Have enabled both security systems, and turned on the porch light. Hope everyone gets a really restful night's sleep. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you! ♥♥Love and miss ♥Lynn♥♥ ♥♥Carolyn & Christie♥♥ I ♥ us!
Lots of trampolining and flapping at the nest already this morning! Both kids "on the edge!" At one point, one was standing with his/her wings fully extended and facing out, not in. I fully expected a take-off, but then s/he turned around and folded those wings in. Any time now it looks like!
Good morning everyone. Its and hour earlier where I live than many of you. I have come looking for a feather. I guess maybe I will go find a cup of coffee instead. Camera getting a work out over the next week. I am happy camper. Pray neither the camera nor the computer breaks LOL. Enjoy your day.
Quick good morning to all. No time to read posts this morning, running a bit behind.
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday....and wish everyone a pleasant day today.
I spent yesterday in my yard......it was wonderful. Tending plants and bathing all my dogs....ready to go back to work today.
Last day of school for metro Nashville. Livvy (and we) had a bit of a surprise, she is beign sent to summer school because her math skills are weak. Let's just say she was less than pleased.
I really do love this and am trulet gonna miss this at anytime of the day we can get a eagle fix Will be sad when the leave Belle is taking back the fish now and the chicks are peeping and now the other one comes to eat
Shirley, I do hope George is on the mend. So troubling when pets are sick. Grace returns for a checkup this morning and I think her incision is nearly healed and will pass inspection. I agree with Lynne -- dry food for cats is not best as total diet. Ours get wet 3x daily with kitten dry left out.
Lolly, happy to know you have a vehicle again. So sorry for all your inconvenience and worry.
Paula, enjoy the time with family this weekend. Incomplete chores? Well, those give us something to look forward to, don't they?
Hoda the Amazing! Really like the garden recipe and have saved it. I see your boys in red were escorting the Queen yesterday. They looked very handsome.
Off to find coffee and clean up before heading to the vet with Miss Grace. Don't tell the vet but I took the Elizabethan collar off around 10pm last night. What a flurry of washing and grooming and racing around. Ah freedom!
Oh, almost forgot. I think banding of one of the Decorah eagles is scheduled for today. Pete's Pond is back on air. The Kestrel babes are getting big. The RTH babes are really big now. Our babes were picking at scraps and wingersizing with Belle in attendance. Bye
I LIKE that Firecracker song...Oh, I have so many closed doors, especially at the Big House... ☺ Love that song
and I especially liked the Lindsey Cadillac offer for Military Personnel this next few days, AND the $100 dollar donation to the Wounded Warrior Project for each car serviced...that is so wonderful !
Towhee this morning was chirping "Drink Your Coffeeeeee " (instead of "Drink your Tea ") ... "ya think ??
JudyE: We are all going to go through some MAJOR Separation Anxiety when the Peaglets fledge.... though they and the parents won't completely disappear right away....
Time for me to Go Make Dough! T-Bird: I will always cherish that expression, and YOU saying it a few years back. Right about now is my 4th anniversary of officially becoming a MOMSTER ☺ Like McDonald's says:
Thanks for all of your words of concern for George. He is out in the back somewhere.
Interesting about the dry cat food being so bad. I did discuss it with the vet. It was originally my idea, I think, and he agreed that the wet food was a good choice for George. He said that the wet food is more nutritious as I recall. Even better for weight control, according to the doc.
The funny thing is that George loves the dry food. I use it for treats sometimes. It is the safest treat for him because of his digestive problems.
Sometimes I toss a handful of pellets on the floor. Kathryn says it is like feeding chickens. The dogs like it too.
Hmm, Luna is crying to be let out the front door again. BRB.
Kathryn was not sure one of her incisions was healing properly. She called yesterday and they said to take off the dressings and let it air out last night and they'd look at it this morning. She was to be there at 8:30. I will check in a bit to find out what they said.
Oh, Carolyn. More prayers for your family. Hope things turn out okay.
One of the eaglets caught enough air to fly part-way across the nest. Then the other one took off and crashed int its sibling. They are getting better every day.
Rushing around here. I have an ortho appointment about the tear in the left knee today.
Carolyn prayers for your mother-in-laws brother-in-law. Does seen you have a lot on your plate. ((Hugs))
Paula good ljuck for John and Ajay's purchase of the double wide. Sounds like a wonderful weekend for you coming up. ((hugs))
Judie hope Grace gets the vet ok today.
Shirley hope things check out ok with Kathryn's incision.
Margy I keep you in prayer. For all you do for the Momsters and Dadsters. Plus all the things you are helping with at the big house. You are such a fine lady ((Hugs))
Prayers for all on my prayer list whether human or animal.
I also have another prayer request. This one is for a long-time friend, Lori Woods. She was born with spina bifida and has had issues from that all her life. She used to be able to walk but is wheelchair bound now. She has a 13-year-old daughter.
Anyway, she has a huge hernia in her stomach, a large cyst on an ovary, kidney stones that will not pass and a nonfunctioning kidney. She is seeing the kidney specialist today at the Cleveland Clinic and hopefully they will schedule her surgery soon. They have given her a 20% chance of making it out of surgery. They will repair the hernia, remove a large portion of her intestines, remove the cyst and ovary and the nonfunctioning kidney. I told her I would get the eaglet momsters on this. She is 46 years old.
Kathryn said that her incision is healing okay. They put another strip on it to hold it closed.
She and Hunter will go off to the "Rivah House" this weekend. As of now, it looks like Will and I will stay home. He has to work until late Saturday night, so he is thinking that he will probably just stay here instead of joining them.
Laurel is at the Fort Worth zoo today with 130 6th graders. More fun! Actually, she is only in charge of 8 sweet girls, or so she said. Should be a great day, though a bit warm. No school for her tomorrow. It was a built in snow day...unused, so a 4 day weekend right here before the end of school.
Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all of your positive thoughts for me. I hope I won't have to wait too long for the results of the biopsy.
Meanwhile, I'm going through some neurological testing to see what may be causing my "short circuiting" of my mind (speech and cognitive dysfunction). The doctor said it's possible I've been having tiny Complex Partial seizures, so he is sending me for an EEG and neuropsychological testing. This has nothing to do with the biopsy.
Happy TH to everyone. Konked out last night after Idol, and that's all I didn't write!! Sharon, so sorry about your friends' ailments. Prayers for all. Was out watering EVERYTHING! Flowers started to wilt & I fed them all on Sunday. Drizzle is not enough & I saw on News that Manassas area got 5-6" of rain!
Gotta get back online~~shopping for a couple B'days.Hope everyone has a great day!♥
I'm going to babysit a dog over the week-end! One that belongs to my niece...a beautiful sleek golden color short hair...something or other, will get the type of dog she is her name is Bella
SHAR you are a delight!!! people who have more Birthdays live longer!!! no kiddin'!!!
Delphia yes indeed do keep us posted with the neurological testing and results.Remember: DO NOT FEED THE FEARS
Glad Kathryn's incesion is healing properly SHIRLEY.
PRAYERS SHAR for your friend; and yes indeed there are things worth than death...
Good Morning/ Good Afternoon all
JUDIE It is Her Majesty's 60th Anniversary and even in Canada we are having a big to do about it!!! Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall are here on an official visit for the Daimond Jubilee celebrations. The Boys in red are handsome indeed.I have to go look for pictures of them escorting Her Majesty. I have not seen them yet...
one of my cats now has lizard breath I found only the head and one little leg of the lizard on the floor I went to lay down with Jordyn and of course fell asleep just work up and there it was in middle of floor and the one rug is a mess the lizard must have tried to hide under the rug I guess the other half is eaten I think its Benny he is looking all over the rug area EW EW EWWW
Taking a break. Up to 88 and I pooped out! Waiting for Jack to get home to help me with this project. I tell him all the time he has a d___ good yardman!!!! LOL I will not tell you his reply.☺
Oh MY !!! Missy just spread her wings and lifted up high as she was flapping them at the noon position. It must be what SHAR saw the other day...I held my breath. Bro is now taking a turn at flapping his wings....they have so grown in such a short period of timeBoth now flapping wings I hope they do not knock one another out of the nest!!!
Have been outside (doing more 'looking' than working) and it is just TOO humid for me. Perspiration just pours into my eyes and burns to the point of not beeing able to see. It is only 82°, which doesn't sound really hot but, take my word for it, it is! Everything is up and growing very nicely in the garden. Squash is very slow growing. We have little peppers and tomatoes are blooming.
My MEGAN Nicotania is blooming... a beautiful purple flower which is suppose to smell very good. Too hot to have a fragrance, maybe this evening:)
That youngster is awfully close to the edge falpping wings and lifting off only feet remain!!! Get back in there you are not ready yet!!! My oh my...I think it was Bro from the size and the colour shade...
JUDIE it must be an older picture of Her Majesty and the Boys in Red!!! I went through all the British papers that I read and no new pictures posted in any of the recent events. There is some coverage of The Prince of Wales in Canada, but not of Her Majesty.
Wanda that nicotiana....if it behaves like my Megan Flower Nicotianas these last two years.... will open up and have the most wonderful fragrance towards evening and through the darkness of night... I did not have a chance to get mine going yet this year, BUT, I might have some volunteers popping through

Good Morning, MARGY!!!
I must say Buddy got me up awful early but it sure is nice to see everyone.
Ditto That, T-Bird, except Buddy did not wake ME up early this morning :)
Well, it's time to leave and go check out the Little House for a few minutes before worktime....I'll be bee-bopping to the tunes :)
on the way...
Best Wishes for a Good Day, Every One...Hope Wellness Swells !!
never got to this last night...:
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One

I heard a caller saying Loo and Lori are fun and bubbly ☺
I agree with that...
at the home roost for a few...
sound on but not mysterious birdy sounds yet
at the nest
trying to listen for what Sandi was hearing
Good morning everyone. Haven't made it here for 2 days so this morning its my first stop. Porch deck is about 85% done. I wonder if i will finish it. I am down to those individual spindles. Maybe one a day and it will be done in oh 2 or 3 weeks LOL. Photography has become very busy for me. That is a very good thing and I am loving it actually. Time to peak at our cam. Maybe I didn't miss breakfast at the sycamore palace today.
OK this is not cool. They are both sitting on the edge of the nest. one at 12 o clock and one at about 3 .
Morning:) Seems to me that show should be called Lori and Loo, it just rolls off the tongue better!
I think they are waiting for some fresh breakfast, Glo!
Soggy night, lots and lots of storming late in the evening...
I think they'll be okay, at least there is NO WIND !
Take care, enjoy your projects, especially the photography...
Time for me to head to work now....
ttfn all, Hope today is a Good, Better, Best Kind of Day
xoxox (( Hugs ♥ ))
That's a good thought, Megan...
let's go for it, girls should come first anyway!
Been hearing towhees for weeks, but you know those rascals don't present themselves for a view, At All !!!
Morning Glo and Megan! Margy, I haven't heard that bird since I first opened the cam. Isn't that always the way! Time for me to get a move on! Will try to check in from school! Have a good one, my eagle friends!
Hope this weather is not too bad for your gardens....
thinking of all the beauty at YOUR Roost
xoxo
Good to See You !!

okay, 'bye from home roost, see ya' from work roost
Yes, I hear the towhees all the time in the yard, the male comes up often and eats birdseed at the feeding area in my garden.
Magpie and Sandi I hope you make a good day at work. Someone has got to make the dough, huh? : )
Sounds good Meagan.
Wish I knew the sounds of birds like you all do.
I love'em but I know very few.
Thanks Megan - I like that better, too! LOL!
Hey Thelma :) I knew you would like that,Lori, really it just sounds better.
Off to work in the gh before it gets too hot in there. Have a great day!
Good morning to one and to all. Wednesday again. By circumstances, I have no massages today! One client is out of town and one rescheduled for tomorrow....
Another beautiful day in Nashville, 54 right now. It feels great out there. HOwever, heading to mid 80's today, and 90's in the next few days. YUCK
JUDYE: i KNOW everyone missed you, but certainly you need time to deal with your loss. You have people ready to help and to support you, (me included) and you know this. Just take your time, you know grief has its own time line. Love you, Sis.
Spent a good part of yesterday afternoon in my flowerbeds and helping a neighbor trim the brush on one side of the street. This morning she and I are going to rake the brush into a pile so maybe one day the city will haul it away. My neighbor is 73 years old and quite the firecracker! It makes me sad though, she is scared of her own shadow sometimes......
My outside critters are keeping me entertained. The squirrels are quite brazen! They get right up on the porch and play. I put out some oranges in hanging feeder for the woodpecker and the squirrels are eating them!
Not a lot going on. Going to work in the yard again today and I have a noon appointment to get this mop (aka hair) trimmed today. I feel like a shaggy sheep dog, lol.
Everyone, have a good day. JUDYE: keeping you close in my heart and thoughts. Hugs, light, and healing to all....I'll check in later.
Good morning,
It is good to see our two eaglets okay this morning after last night's storm. Wingersizing, too.
Good Morning Janet, 'fraid I mighta just missed you...wow busy day with the firecracker, that's nice of you !
Enjoy your day, I understand from a post that Lynne2 made that we are in for some steamy hot weather this weekend also
might be time for water balloons, squirt bottles and maybe a dip in the water at Swinging Bridge
☺
T-Bird....glad you can hear the bird sounds you like....
and I know from Sharon's birding reports that there are bunches of them there !!
Hi Shirley ☺
Good Morning Eagle Buds 9-6 all week
interesting pose from eaglet on the right in the nest..
was..
not now
I have no idea which one is which these days
cannot watch them enough
that was a horrific storm last nite but I loved hearing the thunder and odd how they sat on the edge of the nest instead of being hunkered down
can't watch them OFTEN enough that is.
I could watch them all the time !
Hi JudyE -
(( All Day Hugs ))
pic of water at Swinging Bridge coming your way via snail mail ☺
It's lush !
MAGPIE I can't tell them apart either
cool beans Margy
BBL. School time for Hunter.
Oh
check out Google Image ..
does it make sound? I can't check that part from work
Oh you gotta listen!
It's Moog ☺
one of my co-workers has that sound !
We're rolling!
And you can record
your free entertainment for the day !!
I so needed this laugh !
Good morning! Jack is already back from looking at the car with the adjuster. She is still there and has a lot of figuring to do. Have picked a place for repair, car will be towed there. She is arranging for a rent car.
Have read the paper on my nice clean patio. Leave for the doctors at 10.
Delphia, aka BirdGirl, posted this on Facebook and I got permission to bring it over here. Momster prayers needed.
Many of you know that I am in remission, having had malignant papillary cancer nearly 15 years ago (at age 25!) which had spread through my lymph nodes. It was technically classified as terminal, but through a lucky twist of Fate, I'm still here. Three months ago, during a followup ultrasound after having a breast cyst removed, it was discovered that I had some nodules appearing in my neck. Since then, those two have grown and two more have appeared. My surgeon is now concerned that the cancer may have returned; I was actually warned years ago that it could come back at anytime, and I have yearly tests done to follow that. On June 6th I will be having one of the nodules removed and tested to see if it is benign or malignant. Anyone who has had cancer will tell you that you become paranoid about it, even if your conscious, logical mind tells you not to worry. What I need from my family and friends is positive thoughts that I don't have cancer again. Thanks in advance for all of your help....
Good morning all.
Glad there is some movement on the car LOLLY...
A very busy day here with appointments and I am headed out the door shortly for a walk first and then the day starts. I will check in in the evening when I return.
ENJOY the day...
Comments from Tuesday evening.
JudyE so very sorry for the loss of your friend. What you told us about the "moth landing on her
hand then staying on the wall and in the morning still there and she took it outside and it flew off". That was just beautiful♥
Lynne so happy that the jump start fixed Steve's car.
Lolly you have waited and waited. I am sure you would have the right to really be upset with those people. Yes keeping uninsured is
always the best thing. Happy that your insurance is even going to pay more. I still have to say, "I keep thanking God you was not
injuried badly".
Kay I am praying you find the right rehab for after your surgery. You will certainly be missed on the blog. Plenty of prayers for the upcoming surgery.
Sandi I am very glad that you and Dennis was able to meet up with Jo and Ed. What an enjoyable time it must have been. Who is coming home on Thursday you and Dennis or Ed and Jo?
Paula happy you took the time to check in. I am so very, very, happy for the Mr. in your life.
Shirley I hope feeding George smaller meals more often. Gets him back to feeling better.
Hope Kathryn is ok from over doing it.
Good Morning Sandi, Lori, Thelma, Margy, Glo, Megan, Janet, Shirley, JudyE, Lolly, Sharon, and Hoda.
Prayers for Delphia-Bird Girl that the test on June 6th shows no cancer.
Oh Sharon....this is so tough...
Thanks for bringing this to us to add our prayers, for Birdie...
Mom with food
Nice
I think it's Mom...head busy eating cannot see its forehead too well
Look Mom, see me flap my wings and scare the pants off the folks watching the nest !
what is the food, anyone know
Checking in:
Magpie: MORNING! The firecracker and I just spent 45 min raking and hauling all the brush down the street to a pile. She is now calling the city to come pick it up. I jokingly said to tell them where to send our paychecks to as well, lol.
Sending healing to BirdGirl. Too young, just far too young....
I have just ordered a book.
http://www.qirevolution.com/Products.html#local-Cooking-with-Qi
Hope the link shows up....went to Qi Gong year and am now ready to move into veggie smoothies a couple days a week. I've been using raw veggies so much more and over all I feel so much better. I THINK I'm ready for the next veggie adventure!
Okay, back to work....my yard calls. hugs to all
Sounds like a smart healthful plan, Janet
okay, now to return to make a little dough...
a little
☺ xo
Jewels I can see you had the right to become upset with Charlie's brothers stepson "Donald". I truely
believe that Lynn was right there with you. Not being "happy about the phone call and I don't think she wants Donald getting her house". Remember you are you Mother's daughter and as tender hearted as Lynn was she also had things that made her mad.
♥YOU & Mom/Lynn♥
HAPPY WORLD TURTLE DAY EVERYONE!
Hi all.
Sending thoughts of strength and healing for Delphia. We are here for you, lady.
Sad news. Jo bear was shot and killed yesterday. Report is on bear center web site.
Hope everyone is having a nice day.
Bye
Just watched Loch of Lowes feed its baby :)
Very sad about Jo the bear :(
Did you see the "falling bear" died too? It wandered back into the city and got hit by TWO cars on a highway :((
Bird Girl...
Sharon has made a post....and brought to us what you are going through...
As Judie says...
we're here for you, and with you...
(( Hugs ))
I call you Birdie sometimes because ... well, I think you call yourself that
but I hope you don't mind
terrible news about Jo :(
Lynne2, I want to specify that you are talking about Jo the bear and not our Mema Jo. Someone coming in on the end of this might panic.
OMG....THANK YOU Sharon!
BTW...on FB, I posted the lightning eaglet pictures! Will get them on my blog, eventually!
Thanks, Sharon. Mema Jo is safe at her beach abode as far as I know. It was Jo the Bear at the National Bear Center that was shot and killed.
Home from seeing the doctor. Weight, height, bp, all numbers good. Do not go back for 4 months.
Appointment to get the rent car in an hour. Car is being towed and heard from repair place. We are on a roll!
I entered a picture of Buphals on wash.fm's Pet Passion contest. Please go vote for us! :)
Please vote for Buphals
Voted, Sharon!
We can vote for Buphals once a day (from each email address)until June 4th. Let's help Buphals Farley win!!!!
The saga continues,
donald is charlie's brother (mom called him Donald Son) . Teddy is the step son. Although I think Teddy was just doing the phone call for his aunt Donna. She evidenly wants to offer 100 grand for the house. I am so not ready for this. We have tons of stuff in the house to still go thru. Sis and I did knock out the dresser in her room, all of the office and have two shelves done dowstairs and the wicker dresser downstairs. WE did that in just two days. Her next day off isn't until like June now. :( Maybe we can have a sleep over this weekend and knock some more out.
Privately there is the neighbor that is interested in the house and others that we know of. so 4 pple interested without for sale signs. Hmmmm
That is very good, Carolyn. Good to know that it will probably sell with no problem and you can get the asking price.
That unfortunetly isn't the asking price. But pretty darn lucky for a offer that high. ALL the other houses in that development have been going for 40 to 80 grand.
Oh Carolyn, a house like your mom's would sell for twice that in these parts!
Glad all went well at the Dr Lolly!
Geesh, they have been out back cleaning up the dump all day. They are using BIG equipment, and tearing up small trees, bushes, not to mention the mess the trail has now become. GRRRRRRRR
Thundering here...poor Daisy has taken to her bed.
In 2000 her house appraised for 200-225 grand!!!! The housing market here took a hard crash and still hasn't rebound. You can get a 300$ home for 150$ or less! Def a buyers market.
Thanks for clearing up the JO issue I thought I may have missed something so was going to read back Thanks SHAR
Home for lunch just a in and out I did some quick shopping punched out at 1215 shopped and put away and almost time to go back got caught up toooooo
I can only vote once since Ed is gone. I vote per person - 2 votes per household.
Good Afternoon ! Sycamore Palace seems to be a serene and peaceful place right now. Lovely.
DELPHIA certainly has my positive thoughts with her. Will look forward to hearing what her June 6 results are, once I'm out from "under" and able to think right again. Haven't decided exactly how I want Julie to spread the word about me. May have her e-mail reports to LORI, MARGY and JO initially and then they can dispense the news. I will have my cell phone a bunch of #'s at the hospital. Julie and the boys will make sure I have computer access frequently once I feel up to it. Certainly by the time I'm in rehab. In other words I don't plan to be out of touch for long and will make sure a condition report is issued the day of surgery.
JEWELS, thinking of you and Christie as you go through things at your Momma's. So glad you have each other and know you'll make the right decisions together ! No need to let anyone rush you. I love the idea of the two of you having a sleepover in that lovely log house. I know LYNN will be there with you ! ♥♥
LOLLY, sorry about all the snafus' that have ensued after the accident. Hope everything will soon be resolved satisfactorily !
PAULA, don't apologize for not being with us quite as much right now. So grand that you've found love again !
Expecting Julie and Seth for dinner after they take Malcolm to the dog park. Just Digourno pizza n' salad, but wonderful to have their company while Hugh is out of town on business.
JUDYE, thinking of you as you mourn the loss of your dear friend. So glad you saw him last Fall and hope you and his wife can get together soon. ♥♥
I know I'm leaving some things out, but please blame the meds !
Love you all ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Yea, Kay! Thanks so much for seeing that we are not out of the loop on your condition. You know we would be terribly upset if we did not hear anything. You know how we are!!! LOL
Guess what....I HAVE WHEELS!!! I am now driving a new 2012 silver Jeep, a smaller car than my Expedition. When I got home Jack told me to get used to it. Two weeks before they can work on it, and then 4 weeks of work. Yikes!!! Thankfully we had no trips planned. But 6 weeks...groan!!! I want MY car!
Look at that eagle on the edge of the nest. It looks like he is sitting on his tush with his feet hanging down. Funny!
Ok, he just moved his talon back, he did have it hanging over. Yikes! Now big wing flaps, and jumps. Maybe was thinking of taking off?
OMG...it is flying. It went so high that I could only see its talons at the top of the cam. Won't be long.
He/She better be careful, what with the wind he just might take off!!
Hi all, we have an eaglet flapping and bouncing on the rails like s/he is on a trampoline. The way that wind is blowing at the nest, we may see an unexpected launch! Be still my beating heart!!
Hi Sandi! School is almost out! Laurel and the boys are sooo ready! Joseph immediately leaves for Colorado for a week of kayaking, hiking, and bicycling in the mountains with his church group. Joey will be one of the chaperons. Laurel and Jacob will spend part of the week here with us. Yea!
Lolly, this work week is pretty much over. Tomorrow is a field trip all day and I'm off to Baltimore on Friday. Then the kids have 4 days next week and 5 days the week after that! This has been a frustrating year - some with my students but more with my administration and with the school district as a whole! For the first time in my 28 years of teaching, I really wish I was able to retire! But I have to do 4 more after this one.
2 big peaglets sitting in a tree....
Was hoping to mow, but it's too wet here...will work on other things tonight like laundry, grocery store...and if I'm lucky, at least putting some flowers I picked up last night into planters.
Oh wow, flying up above the cam...won't be long for sure!
I snipped a pic a while ago of one out of view of the cam, above the 12 o'clock position.
cool, Sharon!
Glad Lolly got a car and things are moving forward.
I saw Delphia's post on FB...hoping for the best outcome!
Pouring here. These storms are moving from the east rather than the usual west.
2 big peaglets sitting in a tree....
F l a p p i n g
First comes the fright
then comes flight
Then they will be off in the night
When you typed that PAULA I got to thinking and you know that can be a dangerous thing LOL
I had it oh so many ways
First comes the delight
then comes the fright or
then comes the flight
into the night
Sending positive energy and thoughts to DELPHIA and may there be healing and wellness... Hang in there and as the sign says, " DO NOT FEED THE FEARS".
Cooking with my new pots and pans is very enjoyable. I got a set of very good stainless stell pans and when Kristin was here we cooked up a storm every night after our hikes...I have to get used to how well they take in the heat and distribute it evenly...they seem to cook faster than the other pots which I have to account for with liquid and butter/ oil measurments...LOLLY have you got any advice?
Good on you SHAR for taking a photo of the one that lifted when s/he took to wing. Awesome. I will miss them when they are gone...they have done well those two.
LOLLY congratualtions for the rental and I hope they do a very good job fixing your own car...I am glad the Dr. Appointment went well.
My doctor gave me yet another inhaler!!! God help me!!! This time it is a blue one...so I am to use the orange one twice a day and the blue one when things catch...I will take forever to pack and clear customs, almost need a new suit case for medication!!! LOL!!! two inhalers, 1 epipen, for bee stings, and my vitamins and minerals...To answer their question at the border "do you have any drugs?" I will say "yes I am a walking pharmacy!!!" LOL!!!
Meetings went well and the sun came out today...Happy Dance...
Shep in feeding

Yeah Shep was picking at it earlier the helmet
JudyE love your poem

Judy is a poet
But doesn't know it
But her feet show it
They're Longfellows!
Sorry, couldn't resist!!!
Jack is cooking breakfast for dinner. Laurel said she did not know what she was going to do for supper and I suggested breakfast and that got me to wanting breakfast. So, it is omelet, grits, and bacon with cresent rolls as I had some in the refrig.
JudyE, I thought of the kissing in a tree as well, LOL!
Yesterday the video I took and put on the fan page looks like they were kissing but I think it was just pecking the Pecking Order It was cute pecking LOL I have one of each of them doing wingersize in the nest also I put on it I want to get one of the getting high
Golly Miss Lolly I love brakfast for supper
OK now I am serious I need a shower I stink LOL

Good on you both JUDYE and LOLLY...I enjoyed the poems.
I keep losing the live feed.
Fish brought in
Here I am from work!
My thoughts and super prayers go out to Delphia-birdgirl!!!
hasve been busy in here again!!!! Hoping tonight storms by pass us...finger and toes crossed!!!
Hi, night light just came on.
Baseball got cancelled tonight. There has been much stalling, but Hunter made some progress on his school project this evening.
Hi, Lolly. I had a craving for grits for breakfast yesterday. I don't know when I have ever even had grits in my house, so I bought some. They were delicious.
Hi Jewels from work! Saw your post on FB about it being 4 weeks without your Mom. Things won't ever be the same again, but gradually, thinking about your mom being gone won't be as painful as it still is right now.
Prayers for Delphia for a good outcome. Isn't 6/6 the same day that Kay has her surgery?
Josh's mom called school today to say that walking is still painful for Josh but he IS walking with the use of a walker. She is hoping that he will come home on Saturday. She said he was sad last Friday night thinking about the 8th grade dance and wishing he was there but he has been a real trooper!
Judy, it sure is good to see you back on the blog!
Paula, are you heading to the beach for the holiday weekend, with or without Mr. Studmuffin?? If so, hit the road early (or late)!
Lolly, happy to hear that you've got wheels!! You drive an Expedition? No wonder you weren't hurt in the crash! Do those things even fit in one lane??
I am beat - not sure why since I didn't even have a full day at school today. Think I'll say goodnight.
See y'all in the AM - hoping for no fog delay tomorrow morning as it will really mess up the field trip schedule!
Shirley, a school project this late in the year?? Hope it's not too involved! What is that teacher thinking? When is Hunter's last day? And how is George doing today?
Anyone watch American Idol???? If so where is Jennifer at??????????????????????
Well Jennifer just proformed on stage....awesome!!!!
That was Jennifer performed on stage and was awesome!!!!
Hunter's last day of school is June 8.
He is making a poster about a book he has read.
I never heard of Tara Shymoniak, Hoda.
I got a couple of friend requests from some former students a few months ago. Not ones I would accept, though. Some I am fine with, others not so much.
I came home tonight to find George on the recliner with Kathryn. She was feeding him French fries. I think he is getting enough to eat.
He was just nudging me to pat him, so I did and then gave him some more food.
He has definitely lost weight. I can feel bones that I am not used to feeling.

Yes, drive an Expedition. Used to drive a conversion van. Have to have something big to pull the trailer. Also, need something we can travel with Laurel and boys in comfort as we often take them on trips. Very thankful I was I was in it as her car was demolished and I only have $8000 damage. LOL
Philip Philips just won AI. I am glad. Jessica is amazing and she will do well but if I were to go to a concert, I would rather listen to him than her. But, I would really rather listen and watch SCOTTY! ☺
So sorry George has lost weight. We have always fed Annie dry Science Diet. When she started loosing weight we switched to can food, but keep the dry food out. It is a pain, but she is eating better.
George gets Hill's canned food and I also give him their dry food pretty often. It's their ID prescription food. He has had both urinary and intestinal problems.
If I left food out all of the time for him, I think that he would have eaten himself to death long ago.
I watched a few early AI programs, but did not keep up. Kathryn likes Survivor and I watched DWTS. That was about all we could keep up with.
I have to say good night now.
Good night and God bless to everyone out there. I will see you tomorrow.
On George--I primarily use the canned food because he has a serious problem with constipation, and he gets more moisture with the canned food.
Sandi, heading down Friday night...sure there will be Bay Bridge traffic to contend with...oh well!
Also, my brother Phil and his wife and 3 kids and 2 dogs are coming down, plus my brother Steve (who goes down with me a lot), and Michael and Laura, We will have 9 people and 3 dogs!! So, I bought a lot of groceries tonight, going to try to get the potato salad done tomorrow night....plus
In the midst of everything going on at work, it looks like John and Ajay are going to try and purchase a mobile home...it's a double wide, very nice, but I haven't seen it yet. So they are FULL of questions, and need a lot of advice and guidance. Plus, I promised to help them with the $$ down some time ago...so we have been spending a lot of time on the phone.
Ok, gotta go fold the laundry! Didn't get the plants potted...maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, LOL
That was a fantastic AI Loved it all of it
watching the news and I loved the weather forcast for tomorrow
"pop up - hit miss - splash and dash storms" I thought that was cute the way he said it
sound like a fun time PAULA

Wow Paula, full house!
Dry food is the worst thing that ever happened to cats.
I need to get to bed, too. Goodnight and prayers for all!
wheww, a call to 911 from my mother n law. her deceased husbands brother who lives with her is having chest pain and pain in his jaw clean down his right side and trouble breathing. Seriously?? when is it going to stop?
OMG Carolyn! Prayers that he'll be OK!
It never stops. Sometimes, it just sucks being a grownup.
Oh my Caro, glad she called 911
(((Love and Hugs for all)))♥
Oh, Carolyn!! Prayers!
PRAYERS CAROLYN...
Calling it a night!
Yard work tomorrow. Yea! Did not do a thing out there today.
Night all! SED!!!!
Don't think I have checked in today...
Took GG to her pain mgmt. doctor today and appointments have been set up for July to get her last two shots...they will 'kill' the nerve that is responsible for her pain, one on each side of her lower spine. Should last 6 mos. to 1 year. Don't know where to turn next if this doesn't work. Guess we need to think positively.
She was feeling well enough to go out to dinner...ate a BIG plate full and chocolate covered strawberries and ice cream for dessert:)
Going to say good night now. Sending love and prayers to all of you♥
Hi, Eagle Gang!
Have been very busy again today catching up on laundry, housework, and yard work. It was a very nice day here today, so took full advantage, and got lots of trimming done in the yard.
Shar, thanks for the update on Delphia. Mega, mega prayers being said for her!!!
Lynne2, forgot to mention last night, I think--SO glad that Steve's car jump started OK!
Carolyn, PRAYERS for your mother-in-law's brother-in-law! Sure hope he's OK! Please keep us posted about him!
Wanda, I'm glad that GG was feeling well enough to enjoy dinner and that yummy dessert! Prayers that the 2 shots in July will do the trick! By the way, LOVE your adorable avatar! :o]
Shirley, prayers continue for George. Hope he starts gaining back some of the weight he lost!
Tell him I said "Meeeow," please.
Well, golly, it's getting kinda late here, so I'd better head for bed. Have said prayers for everyone, and every creature. Have enabled both security systems, and turned on the porch light. Hope everyone gets a really restful night's sleep. God bless, and goodnight. Love all of you!
♥♥Love and miss ♥Lynn♥♥

I ♥ us!
Good morning my morning eagle friends!
Lots of trampolining and flapping at the nest already this morning! Both kids "on the edge!" At one point, one was standing with his/her wings fully extended and facing out, not in. I fully expected a take-off, but then s/he turned around and folded those wings in. Any time now it looks like!
Good morning Sandi and all who are about to check in.
Busy, busy morning here. Hope to check in later again.
I miss you! ♥
Good Morning Eagle Pals....
running a little late this morning...
Best Wishes for a Good Day...
Prayers for Wellness Amongst us, Our Families, Friends, and Pets....

Hi T-Bird, Buddy, Sandi and Lori...that's our Morning Folks so far...
okay 'bye
xoxoxo
Mornin' MARGY & THELMA. Not even much action in the nest this morning.
Good morning everyone. Its and hour earlier where I live than many of you. I have come looking for a feather. I guess maybe I will go find a cup of coffee instead. Camera getting a work out over the next week. I am happy camper. Pray neither the camera nor the computer breaks LOL. Enjoy your day.
Quick good morning to all. No time to read posts this morning, running a bit behind.
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday....and wish everyone a pleasant day today.
I spent yesterday in my yard......it was wonderful. Tending plants and bathing all my dogs....ready to go back to work today.
Last day of school for metro Nashville. Livvy (and we) had a bit of a surprise, she is beign sent to summer school because her math skills are weak. Let's just say she was less than pleased.
Such is life.
Have a great day ya'll. Hugs, light, and smiles!
I wish they would put that big stick some where.
GOOD MORNIN EAGLE BUDS I think for just a sec both parents were in nest and then one poofed
looks like a fish was brought in and one chick claimed it while Belle is sitting there with the other chick on the edge
the one eagle is still hording the fish while Belle watches and the other eagle wants some tooo and he or she is not sharing
I really do love this and am trulet gonna miss this at anytime of the day we can get a eagle fix Will be sad when the leave Belle is taking back the fish now and the chicks are peeping and now the other one comes to eat
Helloooo Judy!
Good morning everyone.
Shirley, I do hope George is on the mend. So troubling when pets are sick. Grace returns for a checkup this morning and I think her incision is nearly healed and will pass inspection. I agree with Lynne -- dry food for cats is not best as total diet. Ours get wet 3x daily with kitten dry left out.
Lolly, happy to know you have a vehicle again. So sorry for all your inconvenience and worry.
Paula, enjoy the time with family this weekend. Incomplete chores? Well, those give us something to look forward to, don't they?
Hoda the Amazing! Really like the garden recipe and have saved it. I see your boys in red were escorting the Queen yesterday. They looked very handsome.
Off to find coffee and clean up before heading to the vet with Miss Grace. Don't tell the vet but I took the Elizabethan collar off around 10pm last night. What a flurry of washing and grooming and racing around. Ah freedom!
Bye
Oh, almost forgot. I think banding of one of the Decorah eagles is scheduled for today. Pete's Pond is back on air. The Kestrel babes are getting big. The RTH babes are really big now. Our babes were picking at scraps and wingersizing with Belle in attendance.
Bye
Good Morning from Work, after having enjoyed some fabulous bee-bopping time listening to Lori and Loo ♪ ♫ ☺
Yes, Shirley, do sincerely hope that George will be okay and start to fatten up in these next few days to come
Best wishes Judie, with Miss Grace this morning
xoxox
Morning GLori
I LIKE that Firecracker song...Oh, I have so many closed doors, especially at the Big House... ☺ Love that song
and I especially liked the Lindsey Cadillac offer for Military Personnel this next few days, AND the $100 dollar donation to the Wounded Warrior Project for each car serviced...that is so wonderful !
Towhee this morning was chirping
"Drink Your Coffeeeeee " (instead of "Drink your Tea ")
... "ya think ??
Also two beautiful lady deer in the back yard...
JudyE:
We are all going to go through some MAJOR Separation Anxiety when the Peaglets fledge....
though they and the parents won't completely disappear right away....
Whoa, it is going to tough !
Hoping to hear that Csrolyn's Mother-in-Law's brother in law, is okay...so sorry to read of that, but good that Carolyn could take that call....
Prayers.....for him, and for Wellness Amongst us every day.
Time for me to Go Make Dough!
T-Bird:
I will always cherish that expression, and YOU saying it a few years back.
Right about now is my 4th anniversary of officially becoming a MOMSTER ☺
Like McDonald's says:
"I'm lovin' it "
xoxox ttfn see you later, pals
Good morning,
Thanks for all of your words of concern for George. He is out in the back somewhere.
Interesting about the dry cat food being so bad. I did discuss it with the vet. It was originally my idea, I think, and he agreed that the wet food was a good choice for George. He said that the wet food is more nutritious as I recall. Even better for weight control, according to the doc.
The funny thing is that George loves the dry food. I use it for treats sometimes. It is the safest treat for him because of his digestive problems.
Sometimes I toss a handful of pellets on the floor. Kathryn says it is like feeding chickens. The dogs like it too.
Hmm, Luna is crying to be let out the front door again. BRB.
Hoping that Grace is all mended this morning, Judie.
I just saw an eagle feather float to the ground. Really!!

Kathryn was not sure one of her incisions was healing properly. She called yesterday and they said to take off the dressings and let it air out last night and they'd look at it this morning. She was to be there at 8:30. I will check in a bit to find out what they said.
Oh, Carolyn. More prayers for your family. Hope things turn out okay.
One of the eaglets caught enough air to fly part-way across the nest. Then the other one took off and crashed int its sibling. They are getting better every day.
Another eagle feather just flew out of the nest.
More wingersizing and a bit of pecking. As big as that nest is, it is not roomy enough for all of that activity.
George has come in and is snuggled up next to me on the recliner.
Carole King, You've Got a Friend on the Lori and Loo show! ♥♥
They cut off the thought for the day! :(
I LOVE US!!!
Good Morning Eagle Friends :)
Rushing around here. I have an ortho appointment about the tear in the left knee today.
Carolyn prayers for your mother-in-laws brother-in-law. Does seen you have a lot on your plate. ((Hugs))
Paula good ljuck for John and Ajay's purchase of the double wide. Sounds like a wonderful weekend for you coming up. ((hugs))
Judie hope Grace gets the vet ok today.
Shirley hope things check out ok with Kathryn's incision.
Margy I keep you in prayer. For all you do for the Momsters and Dadsters. Plus all the things you are helping with at the big house.
You are such a fine lady ((Hugs))
Prayers for all on my prayer list whether human or animal.
Love to All !!!
Update on Kristin:
There really is not a lot to report. They are taking it day by day. She hasn't had the long-term tracheotomy placed yet. That may be today.
It keeps coming to my mind that there are some things worse than death. :-(
I also have another prayer request. This one is for a long-time friend, Lori Woods. She was born with spina bifida and has had issues from that all her life. She used to be able to walk but is wheelchair bound now. She has a 13-year-old daughter.
Anyway, she has a huge hernia in her stomach, a large cyst on an ovary, kidney stones that will not pass and a nonfunctioning kidney. She is seeing the kidney specialist today at the Cleveland Clinic and hopefully they will schedule her surgery soon. They have given her a 20% chance of making it out of surgery. They will repair the hernia, remove a large portion of her intestines, remove the cyst and ovary and the nonfunctioning kidney. I told her I would get the eaglet momsters on this. She is 46 years old.
Lots of wingercizing going on in this nest today!
Prayers for your friend Lori Woods, Sharon.
Love to watch the wingersizing this morning.
Kathryn said that her incision is healing okay. They put another strip on it to hold it closed.
She and Hunter will go off to the "Rivah House" this weekend. As of now, it looks like Will and I will stay home. He has to work until late Saturday night, so he is thinking that he will probably just stay here instead of joining them.
Good morning! Goimg to be our warmest or should I say our hottest day so far. If I am going to work in the yard, I better get out there soon!
Found this on facebook, you will really enjoy it!
Jewel and Cubs playing. So Cute!!
Eagle near the cam. Just a big bump and shake!!
Glad Katherine is healing.
More prayers for Kristen and family. I agree with you, Sharon. There are things worse than death!
Laurel is at the Fort Worth zoo today with 130 6th graders. More fun! Actually, she is only in charge of 8 sweet girls, or so she said. Should be a great day, though a bit warm. No school for her tomorrow. It was a built in snow day...unused, so a 4 day weekend right here before the end of school.
I am going to start my day. Have a good one!♥
Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all of your positive thoughts for me. I hope I won't have to wait too long for the results of the biopsy.
Meanwhile, I'm going through some neurological testing to see what may be causing my "short circuiting" of my mind (speech and cognitive dysfunction). The doctor said it's possible I've been having tiny Complex Partial seizures, so he is sending me for an EEG and neuropsychological testing. This has nothing to do with the biopsy.
I will keep everyone informed :)
Please do, BG. We will be waiting to hear from you. Prayers.
One eaglet plotzed and the other observing the surroundings.
Happy TH to everyone.
Konked out last night after Idol, and that's all I didn't write!!
Sharon, so sorry about your friends' ailments. Prayers for all.
Was out watering EVERYTHING! Flowers started to wilt & I fed them all on Sunday. Drizzle is not enough & I saw on News that Manassas area got 5-6" of rain!
Gotta get back online~~shopping for a couple B'days.Hope everyone has a great day!♥
Birthdays are good for your health. Studies have shown that people who have more birthdays live longer. . .
Sharon:
That's a good one !!

"I don't think she'll be afraid of you..."
EWW EWW EWW

Delphia yes indeed do keep us posted with the neurological testing and results.Remember: DO NOT FEED THE FEARS
Glad Kathryn's incesion is healing properly SHIRLEY.

Good Morning/ Good Afternoon all
JUDIE It is Her Majesty's 60th Anniversary and even in Canada we are having a big to do about it!!! Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall are here on an official visit for the Daimond Jubilee celebrations. The Boys in red are handsome indeed.I have to go look for pictures of them escorting Her Majesty. I have not seen them yet...
one of my cats now has lizard breath I found only the head and one little leg of the lizard on the floor I went to lay down with Jordyn and of course fell asleep just work up and there it was in middle of floor and the one rug is a mess the lizard must have tried to hide under the rug I guess the other half is eaten I think its Benny he is looking all over the rug area EW EW EWWW
...Sorry, worse than death not worth than death
Taking a break. Up to 88 and I pooped out! Waiting for Jack to get home to help me with this project. I tell him all the time he has a d___ good yardman!!!! LOL
I will not tell you his reply.☺
Oh MY !!! Missy just spread her wings and lifted up high as she was flapping them at the noon position. It must be what SHAR saw the other day...I held my breath. Bro is now taking a turn at flapping his wings....they have so grown in such a short period of timeBoth now flapping wings I hope they do not knock one another out of the nest!!!
Hello and Good Afternoon...
Have been outside (doing more 'looking' than working) and it is just TOO humid for me. Perspiration just pours into my eyes and burns to the point of not beeing able to see. It is only 82°, which doesn't sound really hot but, take my word for it, it is!
Everything is up and growing very nicely in the garden. Squash is very slow growing. We have little peppers and tomatoes are blooming.
My MEGAN Nicotania is blooming... a beautiful purple flower which is suppose to smell very good. Too hot to have a fragrance, maybe this evening:)
Back outside for a while...
That youngster is awfully close to the edge falpping wings and lifting off only feet remain!!! Get back in there you are not ready yet!!! My oh my...I think it was Bro from the size and the colour shade...
It sounds like a good day for LOLLY and WANDA working in the garden...
So, they do kind of peck at each other...or are they beaking...like their parents did ?
JUDIE it must be an older picture of Her Majesty and the Boys in Red!!! I went through all the British papers that I read and no new pictures posted in any of the recent events. There is some coverage of The Prince of Wales in Canada, but not of Her Majesty.
Wanda
that nicotiana....if it behaves like my Megan Flower Nicotianas these last two years....
will open up and have the most wonderful fragrance towards evening and through the darkness of night...
I did not have a chance to get mine going yet this year, BUT, I might have some volunteers popping through
