My Uncle George was a USFS Ranger from the 30's to the 60's based out of Redding CA.
He hiked up daily on his days on the job to 'his' fire tower for 30 + years for his 9 to 5 with his USFS Issued Head Shed on.
He was physically assaulted by the weather during the fire season months on his foot hike up to and down from the fire tower. Hit by lightning 5 times on that exposed ridge line just as an example of the harsh weather.
A thunderstorm wind blew him off his feet off the trail and broke his arm on the way down.
Walked back up the next morning. Gumption.
Some of the most eloquently described to me ever with no bull shit relevant truly dangerous wildlife encounters were described to me by him and has saved my bacon countless times !
He was 99 when the forest left him eating fat back bacon and looking at the best Pine Tree you ever saw sipping a whiskey.
The best Scholar of the Wild I've ever met bar none.
I miss his counsel here tonight. He was one of the hands that hewed the wood above us.
I have his USFS helmet lightning scorched, dented, battered yet glove leather soft to ones forehead well maintained helmet.
It is my most treasured possession.

Good Morning to 2024 and ...

The History of New Year’s Resolutions
The custom of making New Year’s resolutions has been around for thousands of years, but it hasn’t always looked the way it does today.

Phyl, good article on New Year's resolutions, I always make some and as most, they fall to the wayside! Great 365, the ravens look so sweet, not something one usually associates with ravens! But they have babies too! And they are sweet looking!

BL, your Uncle George sounds like a wonderful and wise person who inspired you to live the life you are living. Adventure and an enormous thirst to be one with the wild... Hats off to Uncle George and his shed of antlers! Thanks for the Neil Young! https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=Neil+Young+Harvest+&&mid=AAA136BBDE9D86D16F30AAA136BBDE9D86D16F30&&FORM=VRDGAR
Lori, hoping this new year is a good one for you and Destini! I's sorry she already made New Years Eve plans without you! ;D ;D (Destini would never do that...)
Lani, thank you for the remembrance pictures of Mom, and here we are at Chapter 13! Who would have thought people who never met each other could become forever friends. We have been through a lot and have a lot more joy and some sorrow to share in the coming years... And you have 6 more days with Aly and Dewey! Glad Shannon was able to be there for the Ball Drop!
karen, you did good yesterday with your walking and doing chores! Thanks for the update on the SWFL little one...
My resolutions:

Phyl - Thanks for history of New Year’s Resolutions, and the 365.
BL - You have some great memories, and possession of your uncle.
Lori - Happy New Year...good to see you!
Lani - Another year of the Beak :-* Love the pics of Mom, HM & HD, and the North's! Jeff would not trust me either to trim his hair...LOL It has to be his girl that does it.
E4E - Sounds like you all had a good day yesterday. We didn't leave the house either. We took the Christmas decor down inside and out. The kitties were happy. Everything is back to normal.
karen - Yum, chili and boiled shrimp! Awww, so glad to hear that M is on the baby.
clynn - Love your resolutions. How are the kitties?
tsk - I was getting ready to ask...where are you? I had forgot you were bringing Barb & Tom to airport this morning.

For the hoomans...These almond cupcakes are soft, moist and extra fluffy. Each cupcake is filled with luscious vanilla pastry cream and smothered with a creamy custard-based frosting. Both the cupcake and frosting have a wonderful almond flavor and the toasted almonds adds the perfect amount of crunch in each bite.

good morning Beakers..
2024 in Chinese Tradition is the year of the Dragon..... symbolizes power, nobleness, honor, luck, and success
The Komodo dragon is a large lizard!...
Well our vikings demonstrated none of this last evening....I chose to fall asleep before the end of the first quarter and heard the final score this morning....I have no idea which QB they will chose to play next week. I think we've run out using up 4 so far, LOL...
Too bad there isn't such a thing as the Year of the Moose!...couldn't have hurt.

Happy New Year Beakers!
I'm watching the Tournament of Roses parade on TV ... Hi PUFF
Service at dinner was below par last night. The food was good albeit late and not hot. I brought most of mine home.
Well... "there is always next year, Vikes..." An annual retort by fans. ::)

Lani - A wonderful evening in your household last night! I love how you posted your Happy New Year at midnight!!! ;D Love all the BEs - especially Mom Decorah from 2012. :-*
Lori - Beautiful post this morning - love all the New year images!!
Phyl - Love your New Years message/image!! Thank you for 365 and History of new years resolutions (I will come back later to read). :) Cute kitty at the door!!
BL - Thank you for the story of your Uncle George. What an exceptional man he was. You definitely learned a lot of skills from him and hold onto all those great & special memories.
Clynn - Like your post this morning! Happy new year to you & Ed and the family!
Tsk - Good question; my Mom used to be a hairdresser and she taught me how to cute my hubby's hair - been doing it for years! I've also googled vids of how to do a basic 'man's' hair cut. Nice of you to have taken Tom & Barb to the airport in the dark!
LisaG - It is always so fun to decorate and prepare for Christmas, but we too have already undecorated, and have everything put away until next year! Nice to get my house back to 'normal'!
Tig - I am watching the Tournament of Roses parade right now too! Is Puff there again?!
Hi Puff - If you are at the Parade - I know you are enjoying!!! Have a fantastic trip!!
Kb - Amazing picture!!
BBL! Going to cook up some breakfast while still enjoying watching the parade!
-
Lori! Oooh, the cup cakes look and taste wonderful! Thanks for your morning post! Nall going well!
Oops! I missed that Puff was in Pasadena .
-
Hi E4E Clynn Of course I'm here/there - if only in spirit. I haven't missed too many in the last 50 years. It was really a thrill though last year. ;D
Chapter 13 of our RRP family. I like the way Lori put it:
Who would have thought people who never met each other could become forever friends. We have been through a lot and have a lot more joy and some sorrow to share in the coming years...
What a great collection of memories to be a part of.
HAPPY HAPPY 2024 To All Confetti Toss. . .
P
No - I'm not there. I'm here in Darien with the TV - Oooooo I remember the jet roar. I wouldn't be able describe the roar. Lots to cause an echo, too. LOUD.
Repeat at the stadium and game, too. And it's a small enclosed echo chamber there, too.

E4E - I agree with what you said about decorating. It's nice and pretty, but I am glad to get back to normal.
Puff - Morning :)

Whew---- Baby E23, Parade, Checking and Replies of Mail, Watching NN for activities of building the nest/bole, they did do their thing too, phone call with Theresa,
I finally had to take a break or I would have P'd myself. Back to the 3-ring of the day.
Later. . .
P
-
PUFF.... see your PM
-
Yes I did see it tig. I'm back on now, too.
Last talk was with Theresa in TX. She was watching the parade and thought of me too. She also had the same idea I had -- Why don't we set up a meet-n-greet for the Rose Bowl next year. I've found out it's worth it. It was really a good idea, and remember I went by myself. Should I take names and work it out for 23-24??
P
-
LISA Wonder when I will pull my mittens out this winter ::) ::) This was the last of it today - The tree came down. Three days previous to get all else put away. LOL Had to set an alarm to make sure I got up in enough time to have the first cup of coffee so I could see straight in the dark driving them to the airport. I just checked flight tracker and they landed early about 12:15 nest time
HI PAULIE Happy New Years to you as well. ;D
LORI I'll enjoy one of those almond cupcakes , please. :D WOW You did really well with your fist collage way back then.
TIG Too bad your NYE dinner was sub par. :(
-
No, No! Things stay up and on until my day.
Maybe that's what all the local noise was about at midnight last night. Just kidding! ::)
Someone a block over, still residential, put on a 15-20 minute pyro show for us last night. Had some big "stuff", some nerve, and some left over $$$.

Puff - I think I know what Theresa in TX, you are talking about. ;) A meet-n-greet at the Rose Bowl sounds like a fun time. Add me to your list of names, if you put something together! :D
-
OoooooH so many ideas, so many thoughts. Here's one that has nothing to do with eagles/raptors. It's a half-hour vid of an antartica cruise. Blew me away! Unfortunately I'm dealing with an over-the-hill body.
Contact me and I'll share.

I went to T of R parade once when I was a teenager---Dan's HS girlfriend was attending Pasadena College--fashion design and among the students decorating the floats that year and her parents were going to see her and took me along. It was fantastic experience .
CLynn noble resolutions; how are the kitties---keep wanting to call them either Max and Emma or Ko-Ko and Yum_Yum. ::)
Karen tks for the update on SWFL nest, M and egglet; glad your day went well; good luck w/ the games
Tsk we had fireworks all evening and the abruptly ceasing at 12:01 am; was up for a full 24 hrs and not with intention plus 12 from today thus far---all I'm saying---I was busy. Glad your middle of the dark run to airport went well and Barb/Tom got off A-Okay. And, arrived safely too ;)
Lisa Jim worked today so he turned in early last night---and up at 4am ---LOL I got to tell him 'Good Morning
Paulie tks'for the NYD greeting :-*
{{Lori}} lovely thoughts for the NY here in Beakroom; very nice cheery BD greeting for Zippo.
KB scary Komodo Dragon for the Chinese new year
Tig T Of R Parade--been eons since I've watched nothing quite compares to being there.
Eagles colorful fireworks for NY greeting; arage entry, kitchen and dinning room are all undecorated the traditional red/green and burgundy/gold are all returned to their storage tubs. Leaving the living room with it's evergreen garland draped entries and stair handrails left along with the focus of the season Nativity remaining until January 6th Epiphany when those items will go into storage.
Hi Puff
thoughtful NY's wishes Lani
Lori many tks for the photo update on SWFL Eagle Cam F23 & M15 and little one E23. Sweet little ball of 'silver fluff'. Fluff ball on it's back w/ M and the adoration between them :-* :-* :-*
Well---pork tenderloin off the grill; collard greens and blk-eyed peas and kraut all waiting. Hope all that superstition works this year!

Phyl - That is so perfect to keep garlands and nativity up for a while longer during the holiday season. I just know your home is so warm & beautiful.
Hi Paulie - Happy New Year to you!
Puff - Okay, clearly you were at the Parade in your total whole spirit!! I couldn't believe when they said the temp was 70 during the parade!!
Lori - Beautiful 2024 post of images and well wishes!! Oh my gosh - sweet pics of E23!!! :-* Thank you!!
Tsk - I give you a 'high five' for driving in the dark - I am refusing to do drive in the dark anymore. Your eye sight is more than likely better than mine!
Puff - Our neighborhood had some loud illegal fireworks being lit - such loud booms. My little precious Star used to get so frightened with the LOUD booming fire works.
Lani - Thank you for your New year wishes for the Beakers. :-*
Hi Karen!
Beakers have a warm, safe, & cozy night.

Phyl. Had herring but forgot sauerkraut! I like the Bavarian style! Have to get some!
Might clear the Christmas out this week but then I might keep some of it out! I have a large bowl of painted glass vegetables and fruit on the coffee table and a crystal bowl of strawberries and another of mixed fruit. That I really like to look at. So shinny and. Bright! Will see!
Enjoys the games! Seds
Oh, waiting for the kitty names! We may have to have a reveal party, Clynn?

Awww Lori, you never lost your groove! These are fantastic gifs and pics of newbie E23! :-*
-
Lori and Destini, Thank you for the sweet New Year's greeting, and delicious goodies for hoomans! Beautiful first collage! :-*
BL, Amazing Shed shed by your Uncle George, I see moose antlers in there too. I can see where you get your grit from! Your Uncle George was a trailblazer, a hearty soul and a very wise man. :)
Phyl, sweet pair of Ravens protecting themselves from the sleet in the nature video....Love the cat on the door, thanks for the history of New Year's resolution.... Yummy dinner, I hope it all works for you, Jim and Maggie too!
Karen, has been a great weekend and Monday for football! Michigan did beat Alabama, but it was a close game! And Washington is ahead of Texas in the 3rd quarter. Thanks for sharing your SWFL Updates. Tonight F23 is on the nest and keeping baby warm and safe.
Clynn, wise thoughts for the New Year! :)
Tsk, it was quiet last night, which I'm sure the critters appreciated... Glad to hear Barb and Tom are safely settled into their Florida home for the winter.
Lisa, thank you for helping me Identify Decorah HM and HD. I didn't date my Pinterest pic of them when I moved them into Pinterest. And I couldn't find the original pic in my photo file. So thanks.... oh my, you and Jeff have been busy putting your decorations away. It'll be a couple of weeks or more before everything is packed away for ten months or so.
Kb, sorry about the Vikings! The Year of the Dragon, awesome Komodo Dragon.
Tig, Good parade and great game! But, too bad about your NYE dinner. :(
Eagles, ah, you inherited your mom's artistry and gentle touch! ;D
{{{Puff}}} Things will stay up until my day too! ;D

Last night we finally decided on names for the kittens - Sam and Sophie! We tested all the names I had written down with Kelsey, and these are the ones she can say easily. I think they are perfect!
Lani, hope you have been having a wonderful and peaceful time with Aly home, I would love a walk in your forest with both of you... The little one at SWFU is a good sign for the new year!
baz, love the cat knocking 2023 off the table...
Phyl, love your good night kitty, just watching the snow fall... You can call my new kids Sam and Sophie!
Lori, wonderful videos of the little one at SWFL, thank you so much! A great way to bring in the New Year!
I have to go have blood drawn for my Dr. appointment at 11:00 this morning, the Lab is open at 7:00 and I like to be there early (so I can come home and have COFFEE)! And then I have a 9:00 appointment for a perm also!
BBL!

Hey owner: How obtuse can you be?.....it's obvious.
Morning all...
Lots of hoarfrost on surfaces this morning. Not yesterday but I didn't venture out on our as yet to be treated roads!....Maybe by noon I'll give it a try with Ollie...I can't step off the end of my driveway without being on a hill....so, I figure I'll find out how slippery it is pretty quick.
Hopefully the streets supervisor will respond to my e mail today..will be interesting to hear her response.
Road pretty much looks like it did now 2 days ago.
Phyl - love that part of Minnesota and how the ice/snow/frost looks so different depending on the type of tree..gorgeous. (365)
55 seconds of more daylight today....typically not noticeable until the end of this month though...heading in the right direction.
Off to start short ribs in the crockpot.

Inquiring minds wants to know. . .
A week or so back there was a discussion/mention of a new fitted sheet on the market. Mind didn't retain. :-[ What was the name of the product please?
P

Puff, it was ZipFit sheets! They are wonderful! https://quickzip.com/pages/zipfittedsheet?utm_source=gsn&utm_medium=cpc_targetroas&utm_campaign=ziporzipper-nonbrand_exact&utm_content=responsive&msclkid=f91bacd19c471ffc4af6c9458b4aa3f4&utm_term=zipper%20fitted%20sheet Is your birthday on the 8!h, the same as Elvis? It was also Kay's birthday...
Phyl, love the 365, I have been in some of the northern Minnesota forests, but not in the winter! They are beautiful in the summer as well! We used to canoe the Current River in Southern Missouri, one of the guides told us that the most beautiful time to canoe the river was after a good snow. I always thought it would be so peaceful and pretty but never dared to try... I love sauerkraut, but not the kind with the caraway seeds in it. Is that the Bavarian? I made sauerkraut once, decades ago...
kb, good luck with your short ribs! And the ice, hope it diminishes some today!
This is a long but interesting read. It was on a FB page so I couldn't post the link.

The Horse Manure Problem of 1894
The 15 to 30 pounds of manure produced daily by each beast multiplied by the 150,000+ horses in New York city resulted in more than three million pounds of horse manure per day that somehow needed to be disposed of. That’s not to mention the daily 40,000 gallons of horse urine.
In other words, cities reeked. As Morris says, the “stench was omnipresent.” Here are some fun bits from his article:
Urban streets were minefields that needed to be navigated with the greatest care. “Crossing sweepers” stood on street corners; for a fee they would clear a path through the mire for pedestrians. Wet weather turned the streets into swamps and rivers of muck, but dry weather brought little improvement; the manure turned to dust, which was then whipped up by the wind, choking pedestrians and coating buildings.
. . . even when it had been removed from the streets the manure piled up faster than it could be disposed of . . . early in the century farmers were happy to pay good money for the manure, by the end of the 1800s stable owners had to pay to have it carted off. As a result of this glut . . . vacant lots in cities across America became piled high with manure; in New York these sometimes rose to forty and even sixty feet.
We need to remind ourselves that horse manure is an ideal breeding ground for flies, which spread disease. Morris reports that deadly outbreaks of typhoid and “infant diarrheal diseases can be traced to spikes in the fly population.”
Comparing fatalities associated with horse-related accidents in 1916 Chicago versus automobile accidents in 1997, he concludes that people were killed nearly seven times more often back in the good old days. The reasons for this are straightforward:
. . . horse-drawn vehicles have an engine with a mind of its own. The skittishness of horses added a dangerous level of unpredictability to nineteenth-century transportation. This was particularly true in a bustling urban environment, full of surprises that could shock and spook the animals. Horses often stampeded, but a more common danger came from horses kicking, biting, or trampling bystanders. Children were particularly at risk.
Falls, injuries, and maltreatment also took a toll on the horses themselves. Data cited by Morris indicates that, in 1880, more than 3 dozen dead horses were cleared from New York streets each day (nearly 15,000 a year).

Phyl - Your NY Day dinner sounded yummy. Thanks for the 365.
karen - Your bowl of painted glass vegetables and fruit, your and a crystal bowl of strawberries and another of mixed fruit, sounds really pretty.
baz - Hope you and Zippo had a good New Year's!
Lori - Those gifs of E23 are great. Thanks :D
Lani - You're welcome. I have a similar screen shot of HM & HD, so I knew it was them. :D
clynn - Love the name you have picked out for the kitties. You have a busy morning!
kb - Be careful stepping out. Short ribs sounds good.
Puff, tsk, tig and all - Morning :)

I just can't believe the emotional intelligence of this 4 year old...I'm serious.
I know of many older adults not this capable...Have to watch till the end. Just over 2 minutes.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1741957477292503449 (https://twitter.com/i/status/1741957477292503449)
Saw my first city plow truck with salt in the bed drive by....bed was not up nor the spinning wheel...
Hmm, at least they have returned from vacation. Maybe only dropping at intersections?
Lisa - I won't head out till at least noon so the hoar frost goes away and the temp close to 32..just to try it out.
Edit: Ha, the spinning of dropping salt just drove by....down the middle of my road...still, the fact they never plowed means the snow/ice along the curb line where one walks won't improve until temps melt it for long enough. But, I will be able to walk down the middle of the street sometime today me thinks. Haven't yet gotten a response to my email.
-
Good Morning! 33 degrees earlier when I let Piper put! Will be up to 55! A bright sunny day!
Kb, didn’t you have some things you put on your shoes to walk more safely in bad weather? Better that rather than adding more salt to an already too salty earth!
Clynn, very busy morning for you! Good names for the kitties! Will sam become Sammy?
My glass ornaments are not the glass like Phyls pretty green glass. But the Christmas ornament glass that shatters easily!
-
Karen - of course but with this kind of ice one still slips even with cleats on. I walk Ollie who also can pull and whom btw doesn't wear cleats, LOL. I lost my GSD Walter in his elder years when he slipped on my deck.
The industrial strength and volume poured on our highways each system is the true source of salt. Not my little neighborhood as multiple other smaller suburbs agree....broken bones and isolated people and pets do not line up with environmentally friendly either We are a designated bike and pedestrian town already....it is overzealous to not want to keep people safe and alive.
They also didn't plow which would have helped immensely.
Our trucks also are fitted with some sort of calibration system that doesn't drop too much...and a less toxic mixture.
False narratives would make this state uninhabitable in the winter....It's way under done already.

HI EVERYONE
Morning got away from me!!! We just had the 4th warmest December on record :o :o
EAGLES I too no longer drive at night unless local and close and I know where I'm going. BUT I think Barb thought it would be lighter but it was OK as I knew where I was going LOL. Seeing you mention Star - would you get another pup again??
BAZI Good way to get rid of 2023 - just let the cat do its thing LOL
CLYNN Sam and Sophie it is ;D ;D ;D How do you tell them apart??? Boy, you have a busy AM! Sure glad I did not live in the 1880s :o :o
LISA Love that knitted cup cozy
PHYL Loved that Minnesota northern woods video 365 - peaceful :)
KB An that little boy learned all that from his wonderful Mama who at an early age gives her little boy, life lessons - Beautiful!!!
-
kb tsk Almost hard to believe the maturity/vocabulary/logic in a 4 year old. Hope the interaction for him continues. They'll have an experience to charish.
What a position to handle for parents.
I would be hard-pressed to bring up a 22 year old with the same development.

Thanks for the ZipFit clue clynn.
Elvis only made it to 43 (1977) So sad a loss of such a talent. I've managed to squeak out 80. EEEEEK 80?

Hi Karen, Eagles :)
Tsk, Mike and I can't drive at night anymore, even with glasses.
Kb, that's just like Milo, always in my face for food, even when his dish is full. He hates leftovers. :-\ ... Enjoy your short ribs and stay warm.... oh my, this child is old soul wise on so many levels. I love how his mother is relating to him, she's down on his level and eye contact, gentle voice. His parents have instilled such a wonderful sense of a self confidence and rational reasoning in him. Goodness, I'm a bit teary. I wish I done a better job. LOL!
Phyl, thank you for today's gorgeous fly over nature video.
{{{Clynn}}} Hugs and prayers for your blood work and appts.... Love, Love, Love, new babies names for Sam and Sophie! ;D :-* .... What a beautiful furry family of Harley, Sam and Sophie! :-* .. new perm a great start for the new year. :-*
Puff, :-*
Have a good day Everyone! ;D

Well, I'm going to wait a day to melt more before I take that walk with Ollie.
I met my mailman at the door, I know him well and he knows Ollie well, and asked him how the streets were for walking.
He said i just fell right on this street and pointed it out to me...we then had a lengthy conversation how bad it is and how unnecessary given they have plenty of salt and money this year, shaking our heads.
Hope he sues them....or reports it at least to have them wake up!
I saved the clip of my video showing him falling, mail flown everywhere. He did get up so assume he'll be sore but okay.
Of course we laughed we both could walk in the middle of the street!..it's dry there and get hit by a car.
-
kb - Aww, the 4 yr old! Glad to hear the salt trucks drove by. I hope you were able to get out.
karen - Oh, so very fragile glass?
tsk - There you are! :D
Puff - You look great for 80!
Lani - Cute morning greeting.

abelit 'belated'. May you always have bird seed...fresh cage liners and treats.
-
Lisa - nope, read my most recent post. My mailman slipped and fell..he's only 5-10 years younger than me. I hope he sues.
-
KB LOL hungry kitty, Maggie does that to me, frequently :( ; I too luved the N365 today. Just lovely with the variety of conifers and other trees. Good news on the salt trucks. Your poor mailman---ouch that hurts in more places than one.
The 4yr old, isn't there a 'condition' called 'Savant Syndrom' ? The video had me wondering, is all.
Hi Puff
CLynn Bavarian 'kraut has caraway seeds in it. However, this recipe seems to cause less digestive 'upset'
Karen I do know what your'e referring to Re: KB's shoes she wears when she walks Ollieman in the snow/ice. The have a special tread . Yep. The thinner the glass more it becomes fragile--- I know with my dad's handblown Christmas ornaments cr. 1940's 'thinned' with age and became so delicate that to touch made them break in several pieces; some 'plastics' do the same, suspect decomposition :-\
Tsk I tend not to drive a night also ; cute penguins this AM. I think each kitten has different color points--- i. e. seal point and lilac point, etc., etc. some coats are cream and others are beige, etc.
Lani LOL dog in robin costume
-
All the Christmas stuff is put away for the year with the exception of a beautiful fake poinsettia that I will leave out until Easter tolls around when it will return to its home in the office closet! I already miss my little outside tree with the colored lights!
Mailmen, neither nor snow. Nor heat nor cold will keep them away!
Was that a robin? Thought it was a turkey!
No night driving here. Have to say that I did not drive at night, had catsracts. Cataracts off snd I drove at night. No longer
-
PUFF Kay was CLYNNs friend who passed this year.
LANI It's a bird, It's a plane, No, it's a dog robin LOL
KB Tough job for those who deliver the mail even without weather worries. Hope he will not suffer too many aches and pains
-
Happy Day, BEAKERS! :)
I'm in a dash, but wanted to stop by to see what's up in The Beak, and say hello to all. So, HELLO!! ;D ;)
(((Sam and Sophie and Harley))) It's going to be a fun new year for you all!! :-* :-* :-*
I had a short walk yesterday - by way of faster walking. LOL. Only 27 minutes, but it'll do. No walk today. Busy around the house, and getting ready for the new fridge that's coming tomorrow. Yay!
THANK YOU TO ALL who sent bird-day greetings and wishes to Zippo! She says, "Cheep cheep!!" That's a good thing. LOL. ;) :D
By the way, Zippo's "official" ::) ;D birthday is tomorrow - Jan. 3rd. I don't know her actual hatch date - I only know she was 12 years old, and had 2 previous owners, when she adopted me and came to live at my house on Jan. 3rd, 2000, which makes her 36 years old, as of tomorrow. That's why we picked the 3rd as her "birdday." But I have celebrated it with her many years on Jan. 1st, because that's a big day to celebrate many things, and it's so close to the 3rd. So I know that's why she received birthday greetings yesterday. Thank you, All! Hugs!! :-*
My TarHeels play in an hour-and-a-half, so I have to scoot. Go Heels! (fingers crossed). :)

Thanks for that tsk. I do recall now.
Hi back to you Phyl. Ready for '24? Bring it on.

Some old school acoustic pickers showed up with their guitars and they are in rare form here this eve.
3 Gentleman not amplified at all chorusing out their vocals awesome tunes over the crackle of the bon fire.
Shucks this is going to not royally suck is it? Pip said.
Wait for it their just tuning up.
The outdoor fire pit is pumping out the BTU's up to 57° F @ a 20 Ft radius.
It's ambient about 28° F out away from it at 10 PM EST.
Clear and Calm.
Presently showering this here ear shot with awesome fire side music magic.
There are some folks and critters young and old boogieing out in the field. 3 to 67 I'm told.
Now when Grandmas & Grandpas dance around like kids with the kids at this time of year here ....
Pip and I are just standing back and watching it all with cheeks.

Phyl, love those naughty puppies! Interesting space news, meteor shower today! Love Chickadees, beautiful breathtaking forest... Currently 28, high 37 today, sunshine and clouds.
Lani, love the good night pup with one eye peeking out! Honey used to do that, open one eye to see what was going on...

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS
BL Sounds like an interesting evening around the bonfire. You and Pip weren't dancing?
PHYL That little Jay is so cute - Wonder what the history behind it is? Cool closeup of the chickadee's feathers 365.
Meteor shower - have never seen one. :( Didn't know Uranus had rings...awesome.
CLYNN Peace leaf - WOW Took a bit of examination but figured out the tabby sleeping LOL
-
tsk, that is actually a picture of Honey from years past...
Yesterday/s Dr. appointment was good, have one more appointment this morning for an ultrasound of my carotid arteries. A1C was 6.1, blood pressure 126/80. Both kind of surprised me! Lots of specialized tests being run on all they blood they took - 4 vials! They will send all of those and more to the retinal specialist I will see next week.
Sam and Sophie this morning:

Yikes, between those pictures posted and now I realized it was 8:42 and my and my appointment was for 8:45! It's only about a mile away and I got in fine, just a few minutes late. Don't know the results, of course, but my blood pressure was 116/80. Even better than yesterday...
Wow, that was fast Amy! And now we are in the 2024 Beak Room!
BBL, have to run to Sam's...

OH OH AMY's been at it LOL
CLYNN Your blood work is great so far!!! Which kitty has the more extensive dark muzzle?

Just as I was about to hit post, it seems the forum was undergoing maintenance.
E4E - Sydney loves the drum set, especially when her Daddy is beating it up a storm. I waiting for a video of it.
BL - Having a good time?
Lani - I just asked Bradley this morning, is the house all in order. He says, it is getting there.
Phyl - Pretty morning greeting, thanks for the 365, and for the links on space news and meteor shower.
clynn - That pic of the SNL cast was when the show was good!
tsk - Beautiful morning flowers.

I was a bit confused this morning. The link to Decorah Lounge was usually in the middle, I saw Lisa's name clicked on it and ended up in the Decorah thread. LOL! Here we are in the new 2024 Beak Room!
Thank you Amy for organizing the threads for the New Year! ;D
Phyl, love the gorgeous blue jay figurine..... Love Chickadees, ours have not migrated to the valley, sweet nature video... we'll miss seeing the meteor shower. It'll be cloudy with possibility of snow.... stunning view of Uranus.
{{{Clynn}}} perfect nature made peace sign.... Love Honey's one-eyed peek! Our tabby Weezel would do that from his snuggy perch too... Oh my, I hate heights! Working at such heights is amazing to me, and what views! ... One of the best SNL cast ever!! 8) ... awww {{{Sam and Sophie}}} so sweet and such beauties! :-* ... good blood pressure, prayers for your appt. :-*
Lisa, I'm happy for the kids. New Year, new adventures and memories to create in their new home! ;D
This is Aly's last day to work for Payson Community Bridges. She and her clients have shared lots of tears these last two weeks. But, she wants them to call her anytime. I guess she's not allowed to work across state lines in this new year. She and Dewey return to Oregon on Saturday.
Time to put our manger scene away. :(
Happy birthday Zippo! 8)

clynn - Oh my goodness, Sam & Sophie are just too adorable! Glad to hear that your appointment yesterday was good. Hope and pray all others will be, too.
Lani - Awww, Aly is leaving. I know you are going to miss her & Dewey.
Happy Birthday, Zippo!!!!!!!!

Morning Beakers!
Wow - Amy caught my attention with the new Decorah Lounge 2024! :) Thank you Amy!! :) :)
Lani - Do you still have your tree up? I think you enjoy yours for a week or so after the new year? Are getting any rain? We got about an inch between yesterday evening and early this morning. :) So glad Aly & Dewey are there with you until Saturday! :-*
Phyl - Thank you for 365 - cute chickadee! Thank you for links :)
Clynn - I bet the Munchkins can't wait to come over again and play with Sam & Sophie! Hope Harley is hangin' in there with the newbies! ;) :) :) Wow-the photo atop the World Trade Center in '79 :o Thank you for that amazing picture. Love the Sat. Night Live Cast. :-*
Glad you had a good appt report yesterday. Wishing you all the best. Cute pics of the kittens!
Tsk - I do appreciate your question tho - thanks for asking. :)
LisaG - That will be so fun when you get a vid of little Sydney banging on the drums and her Dad too! ;D ;D
-
tsk, Sam is the one with the darker face, the Seal Point. Sophie is supposed to be a blue point, but she's not like any other Blue Point I have had. I think there is some Siamese Snow Shoe in there (the white back foot and one toe in the front, and the different coloring on her face. Here is a picture of a rare Siamese Snow Shoe from the web, and I think that is what she is... The second picture is Sophie.

Lani, oh, I bet Aly is sad to have to leave her patients from Payson ... she will be missed I am sure. You have a couple+ days left with Aly, and I am sure both of you will be busy! How is Mike, and also is Shannon doing well? Loved the old SNL days, so many laughs!
E4E, yes, Erin said the kids want to come and see the kittens again! Harley has been mainly in the Mole Hole with Ed, as usual. We haven't really put them together yet, trying to get them used to each other's scent...
Sarah, Kelsey's helper today took this picture just a little while ago:

CLynn Sam and Sophie are beyond adorable. Thanks for added info on markings. and, snaps of them.
OMG Dan Ackroyd was so cute. I don't remember him being that 'cute' back then. LOL 'The Not Yet Ready For Primetime Players' is what they were called , I believe..
So far so good for you and your doc appt next week. I wish my appt w/ ENT would go so well on Jan 10th. I swear if a word is said about being late getting to this visit that ought to have happened on Dec 6th the fur will fly far and wide!!
Tsk Amy sure has been working, alot! We're all set fot the new year now. I'm guessing if the skies in your area are clear and M. shower is visiable---you'll see it. I've on;y seen one in my lifetime---just awesome to t he max.
BL having some fun? ;)
Lisa when video of Bradley and Sydney is ready you must publish it here. Still have the cirtter cam out back?
Lani that's on puzzled looking primate! Safe travels for Aly/Dewey.

I still have the post card.
I climbed with Peter B. Kaplan on several occasions.
He's the maniac that took the pictures. ;D 8)
Funny back story to that post card. They sold like hot cakes on the streets of NYC back in 79'.
Ed Koch got his panties in a twist because his name was on their hard hats and tried to get the post cards "recalled" ::)
Yea right good luck with that Ed. LOL

BL, are you the one mooning? LOLOL! I looked up Peter B Kaplan, sad to see that he died in 2019 from interstitial lung disease, resulting from exposure to airborne debris after the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. How very sad... Very famous for his high altitude shots!

Dog rescue from helicopter off Indian Beach just south of Astoria, OR where Willie used to live. Dog fell off the cliff and rescue off the beach.
Hugs at the end....awe..
These are my heroes!
BTW I had a substitute mailman today....sure do hope mine will return soon.

Phyl - Yep, still have the critter cam, but with gloomy days the solar panel that runs it loses power.
BrokenLug - I get dizzy just looking at your pics of them that high. I would be a "splat" on the ground of I had to do that.
oldguy - Many thanks for the bookmarks. :D
clynn - Aww, look a lil Elvis.
Puff - I hope your weather is going to be better than what is supposed to be coming our way this weekend.
kb - Oh no....I hope your mailman is OK from his fall.
Good night, everyone :)

Good test results, Clynn! Sam and Sophie are adorable! Think you are right about Sophie. Great photos from NY and the Eiffel Tower! Thought Bl might have been up there! Great he knew the photographer!
Loved tge old snl ! The original group or at least many of them cut their teeth at a place called Second City, in Chicago. Very successful! Cooler day today but that is okay!
Had chili and cheddar bay biscuits for supper, the latter of which I shared with Piper!
Funny dog shames!
I was confused when signing in this afternoon! Felt like Lani’s primate! Aly will be missed!
Good Night Lisa! (The little drummer girl!)
Happy frige day Bazi and Happy Birthday Zippo!
Miss my Christmas decorations!
-
LANI LOLOL I did the very same thing - the Lounge has chanced positions. I'm sure it's hard for both Aly and her clients to make this break. :(
CLYNN Thanks for the ID. I don't know much about Siamese types. What blue eyes on the Snow Shoe :o Sophie's a cutie. :) You picked some great classics from the best SNL group ever... ;D I can see how you are getting very little done with the "new kids" on the block ;D ;D Thanks for the backround info on Peter Kaplan. Sad, Young Elvis. wonder what they were looking at? Back in those days they said " nobody smile now 1,2,3"
BL Where did you and Peter used to climb?
KB cool rescue :o Hope nothing was broken on the dog after that cliff fall. Hopefully the mailman can just rest a day
OLDGUY You still busy at work and with family?
-
BL, are you the one mooning? LOLOL!
The guy with the mirror shades is/was my uncle Ron.
Hence the chain.

BL Where did you and Peter used to climb?
Shawangunks.

I can only say that these are the most sober sane safety savvy soles that I have ever climbed with.
Bar none.

BL so that's Uncle Ron ---Randy in my HS graduating class had sideburns like those. Gosh! That high up and my legs would be 'Jell-O".
Hi Old Guy thanks for the links; who won at cards? Or did I miss that in your other post?
Clynn tks for backstory on B.Kaplan; vintage Elvis as little boy w/ parents
Puff hope you'll still be able to view meteor shower tomorrow
KB sub mail carrier, that doesn't sound too good for your regular IMHO. Sweet rescue video
Karen the old SNL was the best. Took the evergreen garland down this PM and started feeling blue. Nativity remains at least until Epiphany
Good Night Everyone...SEDs

Clynn - Just read what you told Tsk and I too had wondered if that was one of your kittys, and you just said it was a past picture of Honey! Good plan to introduce the kittens to Harley gradually! Nice picture taken by Kelsey's helper. :) Love the fantastic pictures; Eiffel tower and Elvis!!
Lani - Awe, I'm sure Aly's patients will miss her so much. That is so nice of her to offer that they can call her. :)
LisaG - How is your Mama doing? I know you will be seeing her toward the end of January and I wish her all the best.
Phyl - Is Jim having any luck with searching for a car? I know its not easy to find exactly what you are looking for!
BL - Amazing history! :o ::)
Hi Puff!
Tsk :)
Kb - Hope your mail carrier is back on the job soon. :)
Og - Thank you for the links!
Karen - It is kind of sad to put the Christmas decorations away. But, I bet Piper is happy things are back to 'normal'! ;)
Hi Tig!
Beakers have a good night.
-
Eagles, Our Christmas tree will be up for a couple more weeks or so. ;D. I'm slowly putting some things away. We will continue to use the Christmas dishes for awhile too. I change the kitchen cupboards in November to Christmas dishes/glassware/cups only, and then change it back in late January.... It's suppose to snow tonight. And it's been that kind of a cold day that makes you feel, "I think it's going to snow." ;D. I love snow in my birthday month! 8) .. good rain for you!
Clynn, very interesting about the different points of a Siamese. I looked up a Siamese Snowshoe, they say they are rare.... They are beautiful sweethearts and you can see they are bonded.... Mike and Shannon are doing well.... love the Coneheads!! Roseanne Roseannadanna!!! LOL!! ... Elvis inherited his mother's eyes and intenseness... YIKES! workers on the Eiffel Tower. :o
Phyl, The monkey reflects my confusion when I clicked to enter the Beak and ended up in the Decorah thread... funny dog shames, Love the 3rd one! What big smile from the bacon lover! ;D
BL ... mooning over NY! LOL!! Great pics, cool one of those brave men is your uncle.... interesting story on Peter B Kaplan.
Oldguy, thanks for the forum bookmarks.
Kb, poor dog, I bet the owners were in shock when he fell over the cliff. :'( The rescuers did an amazing job! Heroes for sure! I looked to see if the dog is okay, a few scratches/bruises but seems okay... I hope your mailman is okay.
Lisa, glad to read you still have your nature cam... Have you seen Pepe and family lately?
Karen, glad to read you were a bit confused too. I miss Aly already. :(.
Tsk, lots of tears for both Aly and Clients. These clients have gone through the drug and court programs, hard life, some from the Apache Reservation too.

HI EVERYONE
BL That is some spectacular climbing country :o
LANI I have a friend who also changes plates glasses etc for the holiday season. Lots of work and dedication and fun to enjoy.
CLYNN The long phone cord on the kitchen wall.. ;) ;) Last night's kitty pics are so sweet. Bet Kelsey is over the moon. Good screen clip at SWFL
PHYL Am not as much in the mood for cocoa and mittens with our warmer weather and no snow. :( Have heard there is a terrible cough going around. Is there a walk in clinic he could get into? So funny about how to use a dial telephone. Love the wolf series 365. :)
-
Good Morning! Phyl, can you run to a store and get a covid test for Jim? Hopefully he is negative but if not he needs to get some meds quick! My friend Mickey had a cough and was positive! Just started on the drugs following a home test and tele visit with the MD. Better safe than sorry! Mickey had all the shots and says she was always masked up! Not fun!
Loved the old
phones! My first was a no dial, operator kind on a party line! You’ve come a long way, Ma Bell! The picture of Elvis and all look like typical depression era pictures, scrubbed and in their Sunday best. About the right time! Good pictures of the kitties and the kiddies!
Lani, my Christmas dishes are calked Winter .greetings and Inuse them almost all winter! They are bright and colorful and feature song birds on them! My Favorites are the .cardinals!
33 going to 58!

Some makeup back postings. . .
Phyl Nope, no meteors. Woke about 3A, broken clouds were encouraging, gave up when it got too light.
What I do remember Clynn is the routine of untangling that d*** cord. Interesting fact about red/black numbers on the face of dial phones. Never noticed.
I might do a semi modification on decoration routine E4E. Timing seems to indicate snow and temp could be an issue if I wait until the 9th. Remember too that I now have uninspired others who volunteer to help that I have to take into consideration. I'll maybe have the outside things taken down and dropped into the garage - then I can put them in the storage boxes and in the out of the way places. Once things are out of the elements it should be things I can finish up. Did I mention? I have an attached garage that years ago (40? years) I learned that the house stayed a lot warmer by mounting a heater. Just enough to aid in the heating bill. It also kept the slate entry floor from frosting up. Yep, icy floors not good. :-\
E4E I went through that cough/cold too. Started just before Christmas, broke maybe Tuesday/Wednesday, now just coughing out congestion. Three boxes of Puffs followed Puff whereever she went for too long a time. Open last box up this morning. I even had had 2 medical apppointments that I cancelled out of concern of spreading the problem. Rescheduled for the 15th and 18th.
Seeing all those in high places gave me another flashback to my Dad. I told y'all he was a welder/boilermaker who helped prepare the deck for the WWII aircraft carrier - Well, he also worked on the tower and antenna setup for the top of the Hancock building in Chgo loop. Scary to think of - not talked about at the time. Of course the "floors" of the Hancock were up to 95, he worked above that. And of course, the Sears Tower ended up besting that. But at the time, scary. The sad thing is, just like the 1940-ish WWII pics, I wonder if those pics he took are still in existence somewhere. My niece might have rescued them from her dad (my brother) when he passed away. I'll have to try to remember to asked her. My brother was also a welder/pipefitter. There's also a history of them working on the nuclear power plants in the area. Lots of protocol there, too. Another who cares fact - my first husband also became boilermaker - I understand there was some settlement when he died early in his 60's. Crazy things people do?

Off to a dental appointment, but wanted to say, Hello!
karen - LOL, lil drummer girl!
BL - The Shawangunks look like a beautiful place to climb.
E4E - Mama is doing good. She is already thinking about when she can drive after her surgery. She called me yesterday, and said, I asked the nurse how long do I have to wait to drive and she said 2 weeks. She hates sitting still. How is your mom doing?
Lani - I always love the pics of your snow you post. We have only seen one Pepe' on the cam lately.
clynn - Love the pics of Bella & Kelsey with the kitties, so sweet. LOL, Robert Quigley smoking a cigar! M15 loves his baby!
Phyl - I hope Jim can get into a doc to see what is going on with his cough. Walking pneumonia maybe? Thanks for the 365, and links to the stargazing events. I was so hoping to see the meteor shower this morning, too cloudy tho.
tsk - Morning - love the egg!
Puff - Glad to hear that you are feeling a lil better from your cough and congestion.

Baby elephant re-uinited with mom and the rest of it's herd in India. Wildlife wardens re-united them after baby alone for 3 days before this pic...they are just napping here in this picture. Normally, a herd would NOT leave a baby but they did as they were moving through an area of human conflict so they chose to..Track how they did this.

Ah, I think I'm having an outa body experience!....LOL...we finally cut the tv cable cord or rather are going to on Monday. Instead all tv's hooked to you tube and an apple tv box...The remote for my tv is small and complex not unlike a small phone rather than tv remote.
New learning curve on the way.....ugg. What I don't do to save us 65 bucks a month. LOL..we have all tv shows we normally watch and then some through you tube plus others...
I might end up getting a little ornery after Monday with the final disconnect...
Though we'd been thinking about it for quite awhile, they did a bait and switch on us through an agent last week which crossed the tipping point. All past plans have now moved to a la cart.....they didn't tell us that and signed us up for the "new plan" losing 3 channels for the same price...that's it!

Royal Albatross
Top Flat Track Update WYL & BOK (lower nest in grass. BOK female has been gone 13 days. WYL did not leave nest for hydration or any food. Rangers were worried something happened to BOK.
Mind your ears ~ skycalls all round last evening (and big sighs of relief) as BOK walked past the #Royalcam to relieve WYL of nest duties.
Their egg will be swapped with the dummy egg sometime today. The egg has been taken to the incubator for safe keeping in case of desertion by WYL.
Update posted 5 hours ago: The Ranger came by this morning to confirm BOK was in at the TFT nest, and then came back in the afternoon to return her egg and take the dummy egg away. WYL & BOK's egg will be candled later.

Guess even the nocturnal VIPs prefer OWLGUY's ride services!
FYI This is my car and these are my actual plates. What an epic way to start the new year! I couldn't have asked for a better perch. No one enticed the owl to land on the car; it did so spontaneously. Around 20 onlookers observed the owl flying from a nearby tree to perch on the car. Some bystanders captured pictures from different angles, providing additional perspectives of the incident. If you were one of them, please share the picture in the comments or feel free to reach out to me directly.
This guy posts pics often from MN.....so cute.

KAREN You are chilly in your neck of the woods today. 34 here but really sunny - for the first time in a great many days.
PUFF So cool about your Dad working above the 95th on the Handcock tower. Boy, you need to find some of those old pics. Glad to hear you have recovered from that terrible cough going around. Smart to change your appts. When Tim was in the ER/hospital mid Nov - All staff were wearing masks. Think it only appropriate for what walks in and out of there. :o Many at my grocery store/church are wearing as well.
LISA In one way that is a good sign from Mom that she can't sit still. She'll recover much faster LOL
KB Glad that ellie story has a good ending - sweet photo. :-* Comcast just dropped FETV where I could find old TV programs Perry Mason, Matlock, etc.. :P OWL guy LOLOL
LANI BOK needs a smart watch LOLOL

Been meaning to mention Dan Ackroyd has two shows streaming on FOX Nation, "The Unbelievable' and 'History of the World in Six Glasses' with his old SNL alumni.

From left: Jim Belushi, Kevin Nealon, Dan Aykroyd, George Wendt and Jon Lovitz
CLynn cute pictures of Bella and Kelsey with kitties; enjoyed vintage photos, Swfl nest photo M15 and E24.
Tsk you're lucky w/temps. I was wanting something 'blue' for today. The Urgent Care Clinic are staffed with NPs . Jim doesn't have a fever/temp. I suspect this is chronic lung issue. He called mid last month for appt and his doc was so booked up that the Jan 11th was soonest for him.
Karen his PCP would have suggested CoVid test---they didn't this time. His other symptoms may have negated that. He has been taking what PCP suggested over the phone. Jim has my car nowadays so he's best to run errands on his way home
Puff timing is everything even with outer space. LOL Too bad missing out---same for me. Heard about the Iowa shootings On this morning's FNC Happening Now segment. :'(
Interesting about you dad and the Hancock Bldg---vintage photos would be cool.
KB all the best w/your new cable provider... would luv to be able to pick what we want re: channels. Sweet elephant story/snap. LOL the owl has his own set of wheels
Lani tks for updates on Royal Albies---got it, BOK-is girl and WYL-is boy ;D

PHYL Tried the "Unbelievable" and first episode too gruesome for me so turned it off. Have not been back. Did not know about " Six Glasses" Tim and I say that all the time - " wish we could pick out all the channels that we like and get rid of all the rest."
LISA Not only that the owl landed on his car but that so many got to take pics of it LOL

Lani - Everytime I think I am clicking onto the Decorah Lounge - I find I am not and need to correct myself! This is such a sad time for Aly and the Clients who adore and trust her!! I know you & Aly are having great quality time together!! :-* Good for you in keeping your tree up for a while longer. So nice that you enjoy your Christmas dishes for a while during the holidays. ;D :-*
Clynn - Love your retro 'Kids will never understand' I can tell you that I identify with that picture, although, when my Dad was home from work in the evenings, I could only talk for 10 minutes, as he said that someone else might be trying to call us for something important!! Love the pictures of Kelsey and Bella each with a kitten!! OMG- the 3 year old smoking a cigar :o Love SWFL - I had the live cam up for a while today!
Phyl - Oh my gosh, I am so sad that Jim has not been well. Maybe he would feel a little in the evening with a 'hot toddy'. Hot Toddy: hot cup of tea - a little bit of honey, a squeeze of lemon and a splash of Brandy. He definitely needs to get well before he resumes looking for a car! I pray that he feels better soon.
The retro sign of the dial phone! Wow!
Hi Tsk!
Karen - I remember my Mom having a telephone 'party line'. When she would pick up the receiver and someone was having a conversation, she would click the hang-up bar a few times to let them know she wanted to make a call!! :-[ ::) :o
Puff - Hope your cough gets better soon!! Awe, the story of your Dad - he had an amazing job. Your first husband had a rough job too!
LisaG - Good for your Mom in looking ahead to see when she can drive following the procedure! My Mom is hangin' in. She fell in October in her bathroom and has been having pain in her knee ever since, so went to the doctor yesterday. Thank you for asking!
Hi Tig!
Kb - Such a precious picture of mama elephant and baby :-* :-*
Beakers have a nice, safe, warm evening.

Clynn, sweet pics of Miss Bella and Kelsey with the kittens ... 3 year old cigar smoking Robert Quigley could have been one of the Our Gang! LOL! ... sweet pic of SWFL dad with E24.
Phyl, sorry to hear Jim's been ill, is there an Urgent Care he could walk in for treatment? I just read your post to Tsk.... sending prayers for you both, and Miss Maggie.... love the black wolf in Brandenberg classic nature video. I remember several videos of the Black Wolf. I could never tire seeing them. Thanks for posting the best stargazing events for 2024.... Interesting facts of the dial phone.... Five Comedians walk into a Bar ;D
Karen, I think I've seen your Winter greetings dishes with the Cardinals,it a beautiful set...
Tsk, love the egg daisy and yes, BOK needs a smartwatch. I wonder what delayed her, though they do say this is her first egg. She had a devoted mate to stay on that egg 13 days.
{{{Puff}}} glad you feeling a bit better.... masks are being worn in our medical facilities.... ugh, another school shootings :'(
Lisa, Happy to hear Miss Fisher's greatest fan is doing fine and planning for quick recovery. I pray all goes well for her :-* ... awww, only one Pepe, I wonder where the family went.
Kb, awww wonderful story and photo of Mama and baby ellies reunited.... gorgeous Great Grey Owl on OWLGUY's car! Cool story! ;D
Eagles, I'm sorry to hear of your mother's fall. OUCH! Sending gentle hugs and Prayers for healing and comfort. She's had such a time, bless her.

tsk - All those people, in the right place at the right time taking pics of the owl. :D
E4E - Oh, I didn't realize your Mom fell and hurt her knee. I hope it is nothing too serious. Gentle hugs for her!
Lani - I love that good night pic. It seems Pepe' and his family comes in spurts. We still get plenty of different cats that come, as well as a pair of raccoons. It's a jungle out there. ;D
Phyl - Thank you for the prayers for Mama, and her surgery. Thanks for the 365.

HI EVERYONE
EAGLES When we were young kids and had terrible colds, Dad would make us a hot toddy just like that right before bed. I'm sure the "splash" of Brandy was less than a teaspoon but we were out like a light. LOLOL
LISA I can see a foam moustache from the first sip of your AM cocoa. ;D ;)

Lisa, love your morning pic, imagine the first sip of that cocoa! Yum! LOLOL, it's a jungle out there! Also prayers for your Mom coming from here! She will be so fine in time for her Miss Fisher convention!
Phyl, I could watch those Sandpipers in the 365 for a good while, it's mesmerising... Prayers for Jim to get over whatever it is. My Aunt June sounds like she has the same, a lingering cold/cough or whatever that just won't go away yet... How is your nose feeling? Still
Lani, thanks for the Alby update, so relieved to hear that BOK returned safe and sound! Have a wonderful day with Aly and Dewey and Mike, and of course Sadie, Norman and Milo! Love the peaceful good night pic...
tsk, a Poached Egg Daisy! Oh, the chick talking to the fried egg!!

E4E, hope your Mom's knee issue gets taken care of! Falling in the bathroom...nothing soft to fall on. Ouch! I remember telephone party lines, especially my Grandparent's phone in the 50's. One of those big wooden ones on the wall. Her ring was 2 longs and a short. Neighbors all listened in on each other when they wanted to know what was going on, I think there were 12 on the line. And I know we had a 2-party line in the 60's when we lived in AZ.
baz, how is the new fridge? Have you gone grocery shopping yet?
kb, love the OWLGUY and his mascot! Thanks for the ellie story, they look to sweet...
Puff, only two masks have I seen in the clinic where I have been 3 times this past week. One was the PA I saw, the other was a guy in the Lab. I suspect that we will see more in the after the holidays surge...
Sue Bruhling - I couldn't resist sharing this picture of little E23 or Eve, Debbie has named her Eve since she hatched on New Years Eve and I Love it! ❤

John Steitz also heads to great grey owl territory and in fact met up with Lavin "the owl guy" of my previous pic...above pic is from John. Luckily they both post pics often.
Yah!....partly cloudy today not solidly cloudy, LOL...it's been very gloomy for quite awhile.
Mailman and I spoke yesterday. He's okay he said as he landed only on his keester and didn't hit his head. Only his pride was hurt he said but still angry as unnecessary to still have icy roads.
Lani - love your goodnight pic and it had me going down a rabbit hole thinking of chimneys, LOL
A few days ago when walking I saw maybe? 50 percent of homes with fireplaces. I don't have one and my immediate thought was I'm grateful to not have that maintenance chore as so many on my city fb page are looking for help/chimney sweeps/change overs to gas etc. etc. and masony fixes. I'm sure those who have working ones love them.
Then I thought about the 1957 home I grew up in. A typical rambler without a fireplace nor a built out basement as we bought as a new build in the development.
Of course over time everything was added including the built out basement. Included: a "pretend fireplace" It was beautiful though. Two walls of light colored brick with an alcove over one wall with uplights that were red. Other wall a brick electric fireplace. Also a bar and a desk wall with cupboards etc.
I remember how long it took for our Norwegian master craftsman to build it all out and that he drank vodka from the morning till night but did a solid job.
I went to google maps and looked at the current rendition of my home. Would love to knock on the door and ask if that basement was still there...
okay, enough about fireplaces.....teehee

📺 SLOTH TV
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Just hit 663 grams and out of the incubator! We are currently transitioning him to a smoothie diet.
Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Recovering well from her hand amputation surgery. Still spending nights in the incubator but nearing 500 grams. We are closely monitoring her progress.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: The wound on his leg is completely healed and he is stable. He is at 656 grams, so we have moved him out of the incubator and are transitioning him onto a smoothie diet.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Still stable. Eating well and gaining weight; currently at 736 grams.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: He seems to have recovered from anemia, so we have suspended iron treatments. Still being monitored closely but gaining weight—currently at 738 grams.
NEW ARRIVAL Fergus, three-fingered sloth: Abandoned by his mom after falling from a tree. Showing signs of head trauma. He has been gaining weight since his arrival—currently at 900 grams. Seems stable, but we are closely monitoring him. He has been getting time on the Sloth Playground to practice his climbing skills.
🌳Sloth Elementary Update:
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Officially over 1 kilogram! He has been moved to Sloth Elementary for the next stage of his rehabilitation process. See him on the Playground Camera!
Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Slightly underweight for his age, but stable. We are keeping a close eye on his leaf intake and making sure he gets enough smoothie.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: He is growing fast at 1.3 kilograms and has been spending more time on the Sloth Playground. He is eating more leaves and is almost fully weaned off smoothie!
🎓Sloth University Update:
Coco, two-fingered sloth: Currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures, eating well and likely the next to be released.
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax was recently moved to one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures. He is growing fast!
Myrtle & Spike, two-fingered sloths: Neck and neck in weight, competing to see who will be next to go to the pre-release enclosure. We are getting ready for them to graduate to the next stage!
Liana, two-fingered sloth: Liana has encountered a bump on her road to release and was transferred back to HQ for a period while she is being treated for severe anemia. We are working hard to get her healthy again, but she has a reserved prognosis at this time.
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Our smallest graduate, but working hard to catch up to the others. He is stable and growing well.
A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.
Giselle is feeding baby Nazli!! 🥰

A busy last day with Aly, no TGIF dancing for me :(.
She's rented a trailer to take the last pieces of her furniture that we took off the moving van last June, because of the last minute overcharging by moving company.
I'm giving her some of my Fall Lenox and antique dishware of her late great grandparents that she loves. We're packing that up, along with a few of my MIL crystal wine glasses we're no longer using. She wants all the muppet/Smurf glassware (20) I collected from the many McDonald's Happy meals years ago. They're in mint condition, washed by hand. I never put them in the dishwasher. We haven't used them since the kids left home. ;D
Have a lovely Friday and see you all tonight! :)

Hmmm... getting a stye... luckily on lower lid. I washed it last night and it feels better today.
Camper's Sister, husband, (child?) invited themselves over this afternoon to finally exchange Christmas presents. Hopefully Camper will get to see his nephew.
Some of us need some hugs today

Lisa I'll take that cuppa cocoa; Jim will take my Kia to dealership after he gets off this afternoon for a software update regarding the 'anti-theft' device . LOL good description of your backyard wildlife 'interlopers'.
CLynn my nose is still on my face is all I can say until next Wednesday's appt w/ ENT. :( Tks for Sue's snap of little E23 or Eve as Debbie named her. Suburbs in Denmark look efficient parking wise
I've been out in the garage busting up Amazon and other shipment boxes, scoring off mailing lables and what -not and what-all for Jim. Just wore a History.com tee shirt 'neath a sweatshirt--- suffice to say it was cold. ;D
Bazi ditto how's the fridge? Got it all stocked? IMHO not much more depressing than empty fridge and bare pantry.
All on the Eastern coast heard snow in your forecast wishing you plenty of warmth.
KB pretty snap of Indian peafowl couple. So happy to hear your 'mail man' will be 'okay'. As one who has slipped on ice and landed on her back...I felt that for this person .
{{Lani}} always a sad day when visiting dear ones leave to return to their home. I remember reading about the overcharge by her movers. Sounds like Aly has lots of family 'treasures' to take home with her...she'll do a better job of transporting than the movers would have. ;)
{{Tig}} sure hope you feel better, soon. Here's to Camper getting to visit w/ his nephew.
-
LANI Aww poor Mimi. Wonder how she will manage with only 1 hand? Guess they will see. Sweet little Fergus. :P
Aly has hit the jackpot! It is so wonderful to see the next generation even want the parents "stuff" Am sure she will treasure it learning from her Mom.

NATIONAL BIRD DAY TIMELINE
https://nationaltoday.com/national-bird-day/ (https://nationaltoday.com/national-bird-day/)
"Birds have always held special place in our hearts, which is why we celebrate them on National Bird Day every January 5! While birds are amazing, they’re also a massive animal group under particular threat. And the phrase “canary in the coal mine” was named after birds for a reason—they’re the barometers of our planet’s environmental health. The fact that so many bird species are under threat thanks to the illegal pet trade, disease, and habitat loss means it’s more important than ever to raise public awareness of the needs of birds. The survival of hundreds of species depends on it.
Whether they’re your backyard’s star cardinal or the common pigeons that flock to and fro in the park, birds have always held a spot of fascination, love, and adoration in our hearts. There’s a certain awe that can only be tapped into when watching an eagle soar. Unfortunately, most birds are either endangered or protected, this is mostly due to habitat loss or illegal pet trade.
That’s why the Avian Welfare Coalition created National Bird Day: to raise awareness of the hardships and plights of these important animals and how we can initiate the change needed to create a healthier, more sustainable relationship with them.
Birds are often considered living links to the past, being the closest-related animals to the evolution of dinosaurs. They’re often keystone species in the ecosystems, signifiers of its health and vitality. For example, the holes left behind by woodpeckers are often used as homes for a large variety of other animals. That means if woodpeckers were to run out of a food source – or out of the right kinds of trees – so, too, would all the animals dependent on their pecking skills.
While National Bird Day may be relatively new, having been founded in 2002, the adversity that birds have had to face is nothing novel to the animal kingdom. Just ask the Dodo, the Labrador Duck, or the Passenger Pigeon, considered sacred by many Native American tribes and often the subject of many works of American art until its demise."
BIRDS BY THE NUMBERS
10,000 — the estimated number of species of birds.
2¼ inches — the length of the smallest bird on Earth.
1 — the number of eyes that ducks keep open when they sleep.
50 — the number of words most parrots can learn.
43 mph — the maximum running speed of an Ostrich.
20% — the percentage of bird species that migrate long distances each year.
100 — the minimum number of words that African gray parrots can learn.
50,000 — the number of acorns that woodpeckers are known to hoard.

Number 7 on the list is Europa Clipper, this is the project I was talking about last year in my December 18, 2023 post about NASA's Virtual Guest Program and launching “Message in a Bottle” campaign. Where each signee has their name etched on the clipper's many, many , many microchips.

Rather than directly orbit Europa itself, the spacecraft will enter an orbit around Jupiter in 2030 such that it would spend much of the time out of the gas giant's intense radiation and intermittently fly by Europa for observations of its ocean structure and chemical makeup.

((Lani)) - Thanks so much for the update at TRR! Aww, Fergus and Mimi! Aly sounds like she is leaving with alot of good stuff! I have some Burger King Collectibles from back in the 90's, but Bradley used them, and they are worn.
tig - I sure hope that stye feels better soon. They are no fun. ((HUGS)) for whoever needs one!
Phyl - Good deal on Jim taking your car for the recall on anti-theft. I got notice on my Honda app about a recall on my Pilot, but when I got my new tires last week they told me I had to wait to get an actual paper copy of the recall, as they were sending them out when the parts were on hand. Mine has something to do with the fuel pump.
I wish the weatherman would make up his mind on how much snow and rain we are getting this weekend. Every time I listen to the news it has changed.

Tsk the BBs are Eastern Bluebirds and here all the time. I'm just too busy to notice mostly. But, when I do notice I'll snap 'em. However, I shall say in 'O2 they had moved do to loss of habitat from new construction, 22yrs ago.
I sure wish Kia would download my system updates to my Samsung ---so I could do the same as you. Their service dept. reminded us of an oil change---I said I didn't have my coupons and no $$$ today. I'm gonna have to do that I know.

Hi Beakers!
Kb - Love the story from Lavin and the picture of Owl sitting on his car - so special!!!! ;D Liked the story of the 'pretend fireplace' and the Norwegian craftsman. ;D Glad your Postman is okay. Hope you & Ollie had a nice safe walk. :)
Tsk - Enjoy watching those good 'ol shows!! Sometimes, we watch the older tv shows too! I bet your Dad knew just how to make you kids a hot toddy during those terrible colds! :) Bedtime is the perfect time!
Phyl - Love the picture of the 5 comedians!! Thank you for good wishes for my mom! :) Lots of Sandpipers in 365 :) They talked with a doctor this morning on the Today Show about the lingering coughs that folks are having. Apparently there are a lot of people in the same boat as Jim. It is just taking time to get over the cough. Some can have coughs for over 8 weeks!
Lani - Thank you for mentioning my Mom. She keeps trudging along and continues to take care too.
LisaG - Thank you so much :)
Clynn - This how the fall occurred; Mom has a little clothes line strung across the bathtub that she hangs things up on to finish drying - so she has a little rug draped on the rim of the bathtub - she went to reach for the article of clothing and was leaning against the mat that is draped on the tub, and the mat slipped, and that's when my mom fell into the tub, but she did not fall all the way in as she was able to grab ahold of one of the safety handles that Kris had previously mounted on the wall of the tub/shower area. But she somehow banged her knee pretty hard. Hopefully she will be able to heal okay - although it is taking a long time as this happened in Oct. I hope you don't mind my explanation of how the fall occurred as there are probably others here who might have wondered how it happened.
That's right about the old telephone party lines; our phone would have a certain ring too! Neighbors were always listening to the conversations! Lol!
Lani - Great updates on the Sloths - such cuties - great pictures! This week sure went by so fast with Aly & Dewey, and can't believe its already time for her to head home tomorrow. Wishing Aly & Dewey safe travels. :-* So special for those treasures you are giving her to take home!
Tig - That is good that the Stye is already feeling better. Hope all of you had a nice day exchanging gifts. Definitely hugs {{Tig}}
Karen - Doctor told my mom that he hopes she can get relief with using Arthritic Tylenol. He is not keen on her having knee replacement surgery - which is what he would recommend if she were younger. She is 86.
Temps in your area sound good!
Baz - How is your new fridge?! ;D Did Zippo have a nice birthday? :)
Hi Lori, Bl, Og :)
Beakers have a safe, warm, evening.

Phyl, sweet Sandpipers waiting for the tide to fall... sweet Bluebird ;D ... delicious dinner.
Lisa, it is a jungle out there! ;D ... the weatherman has been the same here. We were suppose to get snow, and ended up with neither snow or rain.
Tsk, awww poor Jimmy! :( ... I don't think they will release Mimi... I hope you and Tim are doing well.
Clynn, Loved your morning pics... she's been deviled! LOL! ... Smb took a beautiful photo of E24! Look at that healthy crop on the baby! ;D ... interesting the way Denmark designs its suburbs.
Kb, love Great Grey Owls, they look like old ministers.... fireplaces ;D ... love the peacock pair... glad the mail is okay.... I hope you and Ollie had a good walk.
{{{Tig}}} I hope you had a good visit with Camper's sister, her husband and child.... sending a great big hug! :-*
Karen, interesting about Baz, I hope not... I thought about the walkways to the homes in Denmark too. Such a long walk to the house in cold weather. And looks like they can only have one car.
BL, I checked on Oregon's weather on the weather link you provided it's rain or snow Aly will be driving into. Thank you for link... You, pup and Piper stay warm and safe.
Eagles, Your mom was very lucky she was able to grab onto the safety handles Kris put up or it may have been worse. She's been through a lot in the past few months. Bless her. :-*
Good night!

E4E 8 weeks?! Cough up to 8 weeks. I'm just starting my third week here. Madonna Mia! It has eased a bit, but only a bit; not bad unless I move. :-[
I like hearing about all those hugs going around, given here and there for comfort and showing love/concern. I've been a big promoter since 2022. I think, and I found out, they are the #1 remedy for so much.

I'm up---oh duh! LOL
Jim stiill in bed and he's been coughing 24/7. Nothing helps I fear he'll ruputre his 'wind pipe' if he doesn't get some help. Matters worse since no availability for doc appt. But, time gets shorter and his appt for next week draws ever closer. Do take care yourself!

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY!

Phyl, wormhole, LOLOL! Those waders in the 365 are like the Sandpipers here, love watching them. Kind of like a wet murmuration! Great poker cat pic! It sure seems like Dr appointments are set much farther out than they used to be, unless you have an emergency! I called in early October to make my annual appointment, got December 5th. Then they called near the end of November and said they needed to change it, to February 16th! So when I went to my Dr, for this eye emergency they said 'it's been over a year since we have seen you'! Hope Jim can get some relief, I bet his ribs hurt from coughing...
Lani, thinking of you this morning... I looked up the Muppets and Smurf glassware on eBay. the Muppets are worth some $$$. The Smurfs not so much. But the memories are priceless, I have many things that I could sell but am not interested. Erin can do that when I am gone... ;D
E4E, I am glad you explained how your Mom fell, you have made us aware of little thigs to watch out for! Like when I pulled up the shower mat and just laid it back down. I stepped on it and it slid because I didn't make sure the little suction cups were set. I slipped but caught myself. Now I make sure it's secure when I get in! After Mom had her back surgery we did a few things around the house to help. First was to convert the bathtub to a walk-in shower. She has a shower chair she sits on and 3 safety bars. We got her front load washer, and both washer and dryer on pedestals. They already had the Acorn stair lifts because of my Dad. So she is pretty well set. She will be 90 this year.
tsk, we have FETV, I watch it a lot! I would be mad if Dish removed it! We also used to have METV, which also had a lot of good old shows, and it's been gone for several months now. I don't think there is anywhere that you can pick the stations you want, you have to find a package that has what you want included. Not easy. ::)
baz, are you still filling up your fridge?
karen, the kittens are doing fine! My aunt June, she never got any vaccines, she has bad reaction to a lot of meds, her Dr. tested her, it was negative for covid. He thinks she may have had it and thought it was a cold. It could be that she is in long covid, or maybe just taking a long time to get over it because of her age (87).

Fits right in!..in the picture I mean, LOL.
Morning all.
Phyl - yesterdays walk was very good, roads were mostly dry. Just kept an eye out for a stray ice spot.
Last night we got a similar round of sleet/ice/snow..maybe 1/2 inch less so I'm glad I went yesterday. All should melt today if it gets above 32.....heading into a polar vortex territory next week so will try more walking in the next few.
I did notice yesterday while walking an awful lot of city vehicles including a patrol...that always makes me happy but then last night there was an attempted robbery with gun displayed literally a block away from me in a CVS parking lot just after dark. Woman got away. The night before 2 businesses robbed 6 blocks north of me...A grocery and dominoes...also with guns.
Brazen crime is heading into town here. It has these last few years but now with weapons. Course, none of this is on the news. I read it from victims on social media and crime specific pages..
Have no idea if I saw the city vehicles yesterday while walking because of this uptick or not.
Hanging loosey goosey in the house today.
Forgot Phyl - it sounds like Jim needs some steroids to me with just a call from doc to pharmacy. Mine would do that though she knows me for 30 years....Maybe he's tried that and I forgot?.
Anyway I hope for some relief for him soon...

IT'S CATURDAY EVERYONE
BL Hunker down :o
PHYL How often do you go to the grocery store or does Jim bring home the goods from your list? ;) ;) Loved the AM blue cat. ;D "wormhole" ;D
EAGLES How awful for Mom - She never expected that would happen. Bone bruises can be like fractures in how long it takes to heal. :(
LANI Peanuts is so wise
CLYNN Love your comparison - murmuration. Yes FETV was my go to if nothing else was on.. :'( :'( I love lighthouse pics. That one was very powerful.
KB Cute AM photo :) Pretty scary in your neighborhood..... ???
Got some snow overnight - Covering the grass and thick on the trees -
-
tsk From the pole feeder I'm guessing 1 to 1 1/2 " when I got up. That's gone down because of misty stuff falling/melting. Heard that you had less up north. Latest local from wunderground says 31 degrees.

Good morning and Happy Caturday! Rain over night and none in the forecasts for today , but cloudy! High of 70! Down to50s tomorrow! Lol, up and down!
Funny am cartoons! Love, in and out to the vet and home and the card player!
Good pictures of the kitties Clynn! Your Mother is set up well! Aunt June, not so good! Lighthouse🥸
Eagles, can your sister help your mother with hard to reach items? I am guessing they have grabbers around! They are very helpful!
My grandmothers both lived to 94 and 96 and neither of them fell, had walkers, canes, or the like! Amazing, thinking back!
Baz, check in please!

Wow! Sun is breaking thru the clouds! It is going to be a great day!
Lani, safetraveks to Aly and Dewey!

Taking a break from bookshelf cleaning: :)
KAREN Dad's Mom lived to 96. No falls for her either tho she did use a walker later on. Played bridge with her doctor until months before she died. :o Her husband my grandfather died at our home when they were visiting. They had been watching football. I think he was 68. He had a ruptured aorta...Mom's side not so good. Dad with dementia/stroke and died in his 70s....Her mom loved with us for several years - was visiting her other dtr in the next suburb and died instantly of a massive stroke while there She was 88. Ironic in our family, as we had a smaller colonial style home and was 2 story whereas Mom's sister had a huge ranch with extra bedrooms...Mom took her in lovingly. TMI ::)
Back to cleaning..Listening to Pandora playlist!!

We wanted to head out to the store early this morning before the weather got too bad.
tsk - Good luck with your Subaru software update! Beautiful eyes on your morning kitty.
karen - I am leaving on 1/21, and going to drive half way. Will spend the night in Savannah, and drive the rest of the way. I am doing the same for the drive home on 1/28. Long lives for your grandmothers. I hope that will be me. :D
Phyl - Your dinner sounds yummy! Very cool chair. Thanks for the 365. Hope Jim can get some relief from that coughing.
E4E - Yikes on your Mom's fall. I hope she can get some relief with the Tylenol Arthritis.
Lani - Bradley just sent me this pic of the first snowfall at their new house.

some bounce
in-laws... can't choose 'em, on either side :(
Anyway. I planned some good food choices for me today and just went out to sweep the small amount of snow we got last evening (to get some exercise and fresh air) ... before the Amazon person and mail carrier got a chance to walk on it. I made it down the sidewalk and one path down the edge of the driveway and was headed toward the garbage/recycling containers when my one knee started to give out. A man walking past saw me struggling with the overturned broom as a support and asked if he could help. "Thanx! Just that small bin please" I was two feet from it. Made it back inside ok. Phew. I should fashion a cane carrier that can go over my shoulder ... maybe a strap from a convertable bag,,, so I can carry my cane on my back for when I need it? Hmmm...

I am partial to dark haired babies, since I was the dark one and my two younger sisters are blonde... ;D Mom's collection of the 3 of us, baby, High School graduation and at age 50. And then the three of us at Christmas 1962 in England. All with our new dolls!

Street Cat Bob in a blue/gray hand knitted scarf from an admirer.
CLynn the kitty dressed as poker player reminded me of OG on his Saturday nite poker games/pot luck. If possible can you make the snap of you and sisters in life stages enlarge? You're on the left-hand end? Yes---cats are truly great joys in the world. Ahhhh. Sam and Sophie :-* Zumon Lighthouse on the Brittany that took some building. Willie :-* :-* :-*
KB luv your Caturday kitty; glad it was a good walk---Oh no! A robbery while you and OllieMan were out---do take care keep OllieMan close. I completely understand shy you stay in your neighborhood.
Re: Jimmy-baby, you know I do't recall steroid either w/his last 'bout. I think it was antibiotics and he did have some pneumonia. Don't think I mentioned the
Long Covid to Jim or no. It's seems to just be 'fluid' that comes up. Personally, I think his bod's a mess. Jim's just been with his Doc about 2-3 years though. Too bad 'cuz the longer one's been with their doc the better. Prob is they all retire early in life or move up in medicine.
Tskl I've not been out of the house since Jim's auto accident (first part of October '23) and he's taken over my Kia. It's usually after 4pm and that's too late for me to go anywhere. Nieghbors are all gone during the day--talking about 14hrs. ; So luv the blue, blue-eyed Siamese in your post. WE got a good steady downpour last night . And a dreary day today.
Hi again Puff keep warm and well
Hi Karen
{{{Tsk}}}
Lisa cute Caturday; even cuter Snow Bunny with her mommie. ;D Hope they don't leave the snow too long on the deck---will ruin the wood, esp if untreated lumber. Do you still 'chat' w/ Jaspurr and the kitty she adopted from Misty's litter?
Tig good idea, you and me both; 'In-laws what-ya-gonna -do? I'm lucky as we'r so far away from any one. But, then there's no help either. :-\
t40 been a weird day here, will view later. I'm sure as always these a good ones.

Well guess I'm caught up for the day ???

Howdy Beakers! :)
I have several days of posts to read to catch up! So it will take me a while. ;) It's been busy around here...
I did get my refrigerator on Wednesday, as scheduled. All went well with that. I now have fresh foods in my working refrigerated portion of my new fridge now! Yay! I have stuff in it like fresh veggies, juice, cheese, and eggs! I got to cook fresh eggs for Zippo and me for breakfast today!! That was the first time I could do that since last spring!! Zippo is as happy about it as I am!! LOL.
I didn't get my walk in on Wednesday or Thursday. But I walked 44 minutes yesterday, and 33 minutes today, after the rainy weather had cleared here, and the sun came out! about 3:45 this afternoon.
I hope all the Beakers are staying safe with all the different weather out and about! :) I will be reading and catching up on all the Beaker news here soon. :)
Meanwhile, I just started reading in The Beak where I left off last, and came across this post, quoted below, by BL, where he said, "Bar none." I couldn't help laughing at that because all I could think of was a funny card I got years ago from my sister, with the same sentiment, but different meaning, LOL! and it is one of my all-time favorites, so I have to share it here, in response to BL's post below. ;) ;D
I can only say that these are the most sober sane safety savvy soles that I have ever climbed with.
Bar none.
BL, LOL, per my note above your quoted post... A different kind of "Bar Nun." ;) ;D

TIG Many canes already have a wrist strap on them so you can let go of the cane and it won't fall - or in your case be there if needed. Good idea. Phew is right! Man in right place at right time. ;)

Aly and Dewey are near their hotel for the night in Lost Hills, CA. She and Dewey left around 12noon and decided to go on the I-40 thru Flagstaff to CA.
She just went through Bakersfield and will take the 5 all the way to Medford, Ore.
{{{Puff}}} Your ribs must hurt from all the coughing :( sending hugs and prayers you feel better soon.
Phyl, Sending prayers for Jim, it must painful for his ribs to cough. :( I pray you don't get it either. Love Caturday cartoons... the Waders look like Sandpipers in today's nature video.
Clynn, Love your comment about the Waders - wet murmuration. That's exactly what is it like.... Aly found 4 Burger King Star Wars glasses way in the back of the cupboard too. Mint condition. She decided she didn't want the 4 Smurfs. Just the Muppets/Star Wars... you and your sisters have done a wonderful job of helping your mom be safe and comfortable, and very loved... aww the kittens :-* and kisses for Harley too.... another interesting lighthouse... Willi's TVs.... I saw a GHO make a quick flyaway from our patio before sunrise this morning. :o ... love you and your sisters beautiful sweet photos.... beautiful Switzerland and French Alps.
Kb, cat in a pot! ;D. ... I hope Jaspurr and the kittens are doing well... Scary neighborhood... You take care as well.
Tsk, love the gorgeous blue-eyed Caturday Siamese on your morning post.... Like your grandmother, Mike's grandfather lived to 96 too. :-*
Karen, I hope you and Piper enjoyed your warm day. Temps are heading down to the teens for us this week, with possible snow... a long life for your grandmothers. :-*
{{{Lisa}}}awww the kids first snow in their new home! ... sweet Sydney and her mom, first snow! ;D :-*
T40, thanks for videos. I'm looking at the now.
{{{Tig}}} I hope your not sore from your fall. Nice of the man walking by and was able to help.... and nope we can't choose our in-laws on either side. :-\
Baz, great to see your post! YAY new refrigerator! {{{Zippo}}}.... Bar Nun! Sister Mary! ;D

Lani, so glad to hear that Aly and Dewey are safe in their hotel for the night, and home in Medford today! Good choice by Aly on the glasses, the Burger King Star Wars glasses are also worth some good $$, even more than the Muppets! I was looking up Medford and found this good article that is all about Medford! https://www.planettraveladvisor.com/north-america/oregon-travel-guide/attractions-and-things-to-do-in-medford/ Love the Good Night Siamese...
tsk, yes, I had long hair and crooked bangs a lot (Mom cut my bangs), I don't remember when she stopped cutting bangs and let them grow! I told Mom she should get one of those 'Hurrycanes' but she was having none of it.
baz, glad to hear you are not trapped in your fridge! I bet you were so happy to go to the grocery store and buy perishables and frozen things! Eggs! Zippo likes eggs! Bar None! LOLOL!
Phyl, love Bob with his special scarf, he looks just like Harley! You asked for bigger pictures, here you go! I thought you Beakers could click on the pic and make it larger. It doesn't work?

kb - I got a email from jaspurr yesterday, as she was checking on me, and she said, that she was in hibernation with all the rain/snow happening.
karen - I am going to have to get Ms. Sydney a pair of mittens. You were busy yesterday!
clynn - I love the pics of you and your sisters at different ages. I wish my Mom would have done something like that with me and my brothers. Beautiful pics from Grindelwald, Switzerland and the French Alps.
Phyl - "I could do that." ;D I gave Bradley a Lowe's gift card in his Christmas stocking. He told me he bought a snow shovel, and some other things for the house with it. He didn't have to use the shovel yesterday, as the snow turned to rain, and it is all gone. Thanks for the 365, adorable kitty!
baz - Glad to hear your new fridge is getting stocked up, and that you were able to make some eggs for you and Zippo! Sister Mary ;D
tsk - LOL, yes Bandit, most of the time! Bradley said, they got a good amount of snow, but was gone once the rain came.
Lani - Safe travels for Aly & Dewey on the rest of her way home. Glad to hear she made it to her destination last night. Awww, kitty keeping warm by the fire.

A moose enjoying a swim in a lake. NOT Rutt, nor Minnesota.
Which has me wondering about how our Rutt is doing...and, don't even think about swimming in that Red River, Rutt!...that's an order.
Morning all.
Lisa - thanks and happy to hear she can hibernate...yesterday's precip map showed a lot of pink over her
And, I'm hibernating today as well...another round of greasy stuff fell last night...looks like a common thread this whole week. Frankly, I'd rather have 4 inches of snow and the plow come through than this icy stuff...
-
bounce
No! I did not fall. Just a knee saying "it will be time to sit soon".
The wrist strap on my cane broke when I misused it. Can't have it on my wrist if I am sweeping. Guess I'll just need to set it at my feet while working... Walk, work, walk, work...

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE
LANI Nice for Aly to take a different route and see maybe one is better and quicker than the other. I see she arrived safely. :) Nice Siamese by the fireplace.
CLYNN That is a great link to Medford. In another life I'd live there in a heart beat!! Beautiful part of the country. That is the cutest pic of you and your Dad. " Daddy's girl" ;) ;)
LISA Love that ceramic cup!! Thanks for Jaspurr update. I don't blame her. When you get the mittens - don't forget the clip that attaches them to the sleeve. LOL I never had those. ::)
KB Beautiful sight - moose crossing river.

https://i.pinimg.com/236x/cd/6a/20/cd6a20cd68fca687327bcb445f0c18c4.jpg
Very cutest sweetie ever Phyl. Ahhhhh
Did you all see the tornado report from last night? Over FLL. Heard of no touchdown, lots of wind damage. What the heck!
Lani No my ribs are not my main discomfort. . .An enormous headache going on 3 weeks now.
I've had a forever companion now since Greece trip in 2021. I'm referring to my friend (?) The Stick. I have one at the door/in the garage, never live home without it, I have made my neighbors happy. I also have one I leave in the car. But that strap really does earn its keep. They all do come with a strap, don't they. I even bought a replacement strap when one started to shred. My problem I've have not conquered is not having a good place to "hang" or hook it when I sit down. Room full of people will jump and then make sure I didn't go down with it.
I purchased a rubber cane stand holder that I thought would be a good idea BUT It is hard for my feeble hands to put it in or pull out as the situation calls for it.
AND It is a heavy chunk of rubber to be able to hold Stick upright. And, it does work. Weight of it however becomes an issue. I'll keep working on this; spine and hip issue becomes very problematic when it keeps falling and I need to bend down to pick it up. There's an unforeseen problem you don't anticipate at 40 or 50 years.
You were easy to pick out in the group clynn with your clue of you had the dark hair. The Air Force man is your dad?
P
-
Puff, yes, my Dad was in the Air Force for 24 years, he retired in late 1969. So we were Military Brats... ;D Cheers for your friend, The Stick. He has probably saved you from a fall many times! Have you seen the doctor about your headache? That is way too long to have a headache!
kb, beautiful scenery for the moose, I bet it's in Alaska or the Grand Tetons...Breathtakingly gorgeous!
Lisa, we're supposed to get snow tomorrow night and into Tuesday. We have only had a dusting or two since the half inch we got in October!
Phyl, the ancient findings are so interesting, love reading about them! Love that sweet kitty!

KB What a great pic of the GSDs and the little girl - Love her green boots with claws? LOL
-
Ah, just lost a post!
Kb, what is the grease that is falling on Minnesota? Very odd!
Puff, according to CBS News, there was a tornado touch down in down town Ft. Lauderdale, Fl last evening! No injuries reported, minor damage to a few buildings, spotty power outages, no damage to boats and, fortunately it spun up and out to the ocean.
I have a cane that I take when I leave the house! It has a strap that I ignore and I purchases a hard rubber square that lets it stand up alone! I do not remove it and have no trouble walking with it on. Bought this at Oublix after my back surgery!
-
Light snow, mixed with sleet. Temps in the high 20's to low 30's. But in Minnesota we call any light snow greasy cause it's slippery...Higher snow inches bring out the plows and treatment so it's not.
As the season progresses with prior treatment, it gets less greasy. This year we have only had the grease and not as often as average.
And not odd. Our meteorologists and local news anchors use the term all the time....

tig - I give up already on the Vikes....ugg.
and, sorry Peep, those Lions uniforms have to be the ugliest I've ever seen.....LOL

Aly surprised me by taking this pic early last Sunday morning, New Year's Eve. She and Dewey was well ahead of us, while Sadie and I was having a nice easy walk going uphill. We must have been talking too, Sadie's looking up at me :-* ... Aly caught the sun rising over our beautiful Rim Country. :-*
{{{Clynn}}} Sweet photos, love you with your dad... love your morning posts.... Now, Aly and Dewey have passed through Woodlands, CA, only 4 hours to go till Medford. ;D... she has Jabba the Hutt on one of the glasses.... Love the Medford link! I didn't realize there were that many places to explore. I sent it to Aly.
Phyl, The little Dunlins don't mind wet feet while sleeping.... very interesting Live Science report on 2000 year old calendar.... awww, sweet kitty.
Lisa, glad no need for snow shovel for Bradley! Yes, ditto with Tsk about clips for the mittens. Aly always removed her gloves.
Kb, nice pic of moose... what is this greasy stuff? ... the little girl with the cute boots, looks well protected and loved by her GSD pack! Especially, the big boy behind her. Oh, I'd love to have him. :-* ... I just read your explanation about greasy! ;D
Tig :)
{{{Puff}}} sorry about the headache, that's terribly long time to have one. :( hopefully, you can find some relief soon.
Tsk Good idea about the clip for Sydney's mittens! Thank goodness I had them for Aly. She was always removing her gloves. :)
Karen, thanks for updating the tornado touchdown in Florida. All is well at SWFL: this was posted 3 hours ago. 10:16a M15 flies east from treetop. 10:40a F23 loosens grass around nest while E23 awakens and watches. 10:42a F23 goes to nestovers and begins feeding E23. 10:48a Feeding over, F23 returns to brood E23.

Anyway, just trying to visualize what you posted.
BTW, nice tar or concrete available for your walks?

Lani great pic of Sadie and You taken by Aly on 12/31/23. :) 8)

Puff - Yes, apparently tis the season for long/lingering coughs! So you are in good company around the globe. ;)
Phyl - Poor Jim with his 24/7 cough. Is it possible that his Doctor can prescribe him something even though his appt isn't until next week?
That must be so hard not to have a car while Jim is at work. If I were your neighbor, I would lend you my car for your errands!
Clynn - That is so wonderful that you & family have secured safety in the house as much as possible for your Mom! Love that you guys got her a front loading washer & dryer on pedestals. I have the same thing for myself. My Mom has a washer & dryer that stack upon one another in her apartment. Your Mom sounds like she is doing really well - very good!!!!!!
Love the picture you posted that reminds you of Willi ;D ;D
Beautiful, precious photos your Mother has of you girls!!!
Kb - Scary stuff at night in your neighborhood. Thank goodness you are not driving out at night. Thank goodness that woman was able to get away.
Tsk - It does take my mom longer to get over bruising these days. Mom and sis were over here yesterday for a couple of hours. :) Just read what you said to Karen with regards to some of your family history - thank you for sharing.
Karen - Yes, my sister helps with reaching for those hard to reach things, but if my sister is not in the room, mom will usually just try to do it on her own. Wow, your Grandmothers were amazingly fit not have Canes and Walkers!! You have inherited their good traits!!
LisaG - Beautiful snow at Bradley's new home / looks like a nice deck area! Darling pic of Sydney in her first snow!! :-*
Tig - So true about in-laws :-X Don't over do clearing snow! I know that is easier said than done, but please take care.
Baz - Yaaay, so glad your fridge got delivered the other day and that you are stocked with food!! Zippo is happy too! ;D Bar Nun!!Lol!! ;D
Lani - So glad to know that Aly & Dewey are having safe travels.
Clynn - I'm so glad Phyl asked for enlarged photos!! Very nice and so cute - thank you for posting!! That must be you & your Dad!!! :-* :)
Need to get busy again around here. BBL! Hope all are having a nice Sunday afternoon. :)
-
Phyl - Did you happen to get that Stollen from Publix? I have a friend who lives in TN, and she shops at Publix and bought German Butter Stollen the week of Christmas. :D
kb - Glad you are hibernating, too. Icy roads are not good. I think lil girl is safe. ;D ;D
((tig))
tsk - I need to find some of these cute mug (in real life). I will look for the clip for mittens. :)
((Puff)) - I hope you get some relief from that headache. That is a long time to have one.
clynn - I looked at the weather for your area. Did I read that correctly, 6 to 11 inches to be expected? :o
karen - Sorry about your lost post. That is so sweet of you to offer, but I have already booked my hotel in Savannah! The summer before last, when Mama was here, and I drove her home we did pass near you, I think. Instead of my usual route, which is 95 to Savannah and then on to Jacksonville the next morning to get on I-10 to Mobile. We had cut across Georgia in Savannah. I thought it was much longer and we were on some back roads!
Lani - LOVE the pics that Aly took of you and Sadie, and gorgeous snow day pics! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u3XWri8BoU
E4E - Thank you :) Yea, the deck on the back of their house is really nice.
-
LANI Could be you on your AM walk - Only more forest LOL Oh no I continued to read and saw that it was you - What a great shot by Aly. You got a nice snow today - Always so pretty. Esp if you don't have to go anywhere. ;) Hope Mike is home for awhile.
KAREN Had not heard about the Ft Lauderdale tornado.
KB You can click on the photo of Lani and it enlarges. Vid is so hard to watch. :(
CLYNN Cute pic of the "fur" ball from SWFL ;D Houses look like Hobbit houses LOL From NR LOL
-
Lani - I'm confused. Is that you and Sadie?...You look in the pic like you are going downhill, no?
Anyway, just trying to visualize what you posted.
BTW, nice tar or concrete available for your walks?
No, we were going uphill. And we were walking on the golf cart path, taking a short cut to the road to meet one of our walking buddies. Sun rising behind us. :)
-
Lani great pic of Sadie and You taken by Aly on 12/31/23. :) 8)
It looks like Aly's making very good time back to Medford towing a trailer. It looks like she was able to "tip-toe" through the worst of the weather along her route too. ;D

KB handsome moose; have you head anything on 'Rutt"? ; Good idea to stay indoors with foul weather; That cute little girl is well protected by her army of 'body guards'. ;) m Thaks for explanation of 'greasy' as it pertains to snow and it's slickness.
Puff sweet kitten from this am is part of my 'blue phase'. ;D ; heard about the tornado; headaches are the pitts sure hope your's
goes away. Keeping your cane close at hand is smart. Gonna be me one day. {{{}}}
CLynn thought that was your Pop ; y'all do take care w/the snow and all. A thought---if you have patch pockets on your clothes Sam and Sophie could ride along w/you around the house. :) Maggie rode my shoulders for 8mos. :-*
Karen how frustrating to loose a post you've been working on >:( ; many thanks for the weather update, esp tornado in FT. Lauderdale, FLA , glad that was no worse than it was. ;)
Lani very nice sunrise for you on your walk; you have 'just enough' snow to be perfect and enjoyable; Won't be too long and Aly/Dewey will safe be back home in Medford ;)
CLynn thanks for the update from Sue on SWFL eagles /what a sweet silvery fluff ball. Your photo of Norway reminded me of Nat'l Geo Mag ---a couple of years a go did a long piece on the ancient Vikings of that area and Germany. What an eye opener---author did a fine piece dispelling some myths of that culture---living in 'long houses' just one long room with dirt floors and a fire pit. I love Archaeology :-*

It looks like a lot of the Beaker's are going to get in on this next winter storm.
Some severe weather in the South/ SE. ::)

OG it looks like you might be in the IA "bulls eye".
BL, that is serious weather heading towards IA! :o

Aly and Dewey are tucked in their beds early tonight. ;D
BL, Thanks for the link you posted Friday night, cemented Aly's decision to go through CA then north to Medford. She said it was windy going north thru CA, but trailer was packed tight and did well.... I hope all is well with you, Pip and pup!
Clynn, Thanks, the sun rising over the rim is always a beautiful start to the morning.... awww E24 :-*..... Love the moss covered homes in Norway, reminds me of Hobbits homes ... NR knitted a darling sweater.... Trucker ties down toys! Cute ;D
Karen, I love Aly captured the beautiful sunrise we see here.... tomorrow we'll see the Rim covered with snow.
Kb, YIKES! video is definitely greasy, slippery, scary! :o
Lisa, great winter song!
Tsk, there's Ponderosa, Pine, Junipers, Oak trees all around us, except on the golf course. Dewey has bad knees and they did a short walk with us. So, we walk the trails up from our home to one of the holes and Aly and Dewey returned home, and Sadie and I continued our hour walk with others (off the course). No walking or pets allowed on the course or cart paths, except in the winter and you have to be off before 7:30am. And as you can see the sun is just rising.... Mike is leaving Tuesday for the valley.... beautiful puzzles.
Phyl, beautiful serene good night pic .... beautiful Barbie.
Good night!
Keep warm and safe Beakers! :-*

Good Evening/Morning Beakers
BL - I have been watching this system in the forecast for 5 days now - every forecast has changed the snow amounts for Tue and Wed. It started out as 1.5 inches each day - the current forecast is 12 inches for Tue. I get to work on Tue. - forecast is for .5 in/hour rate - so I will have about 4 in. on ground at start of shift and 7 in. on the way home. I ended up buying a 20V snow shovel today after work - it should get a workout this week...
For Christmas Brunch we made a pork sausage cake that was mentioned here - everyone thought it was perfect for a brunch - could not taste or see any sign of the pork. Also surprised that it was not mentioned to refrigerate - had a small portion left over and I finally threw it out after 10 days - no sign of spoilage... :o What my other half noticed was that the pork was the only "fat" used in the recipe.
Cards was played as normal - won 1 out of 3 - but scores were close...
Been working on some house cleaning and reorganization - need to replace bed - old bed is a queen and replacing with a king, so bedroom layout needs to be changed - also adding a computer/makeup desk. Also need to move furniture in front room to make a path to a king into the bedroom. Still trying to find a desk and headboard that we like - almost nothing available in town - will need to check for them in Cedar Rapids... We use to have 5 furniture stores in the area - down to 2 and neither has hardwood in stock.
Work was busy this weekend - lots of foot traffic and of coarse this is the time to start setting up the store for spring. Forecast for next week is temps in the -6 to+12 range and the schedule is to start setting the unheated garden center... ::) Note: we have 3 eagle statues this year.
Time to catch up on the videos...

oldguy, you have been busy and more to come! Glad to hear Spring merchandise is showing up...Spring is coming! Thanks for all the links, will get to them... ;D Something funny about beds, I had the kittens closed in our bedroom yesterday while Erin cleaned my floors downstairs. I sent the Munchkins up there to play with the kittens. Erin went up to check and Talon mentioned how big out bed was (split king XL adjustable). Erin showed him how it moved with the remote. Talon said 'Grandpa and Grandma must be millionaires!' LOLOL!!
Lori, hello there!
Lani, are you able to see the rim on your walk? It sounds so beautiful! Found this picture of fresh snow on the South Rim... Sweet snuggly puppy!
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2718/4334214186_ffac09ff7c_b.jpg)
BL, bracing for the incoming snow, looks like many states will be affected! As the old saying goes, 'Buckle Up Buttercup!'
kb, never heard of greasy snow, sounds gross! Best stay inside until the barrage is over! We are all getting hit here in the Midwest!
Phyl, beautiful stones and such a classy Barbie!

GOOD MORNING
In the forecast beginning at midnight...
PHYL Beauties of beach stones. Would be fun to collect. :) I have a necklace I bought from an artist who uses beach glass.
BL Beautiful stones from you as well.
LANI Thankfully Aly and Dewey are safe and sound. :) Will neighbors help her unload that trailer today? You have some great walking opportunities with friends to meet along the way with similar goals. Nice scenery as well :) Good that Mike is close to home for this trip. That good night pup really made me laugh ;D
OLDGUY Had to Google 20 v snow shovel. Never knew there was such a thing. The new year bringing lots of home redecorating projects to the forefront. :) Our snow levels are also changing depending on which source you use. We go from rain to 6" ::) Stay safe. I will enjoy the links for my break time today, Thanks
CLYNN Keeping up with the stone theme - love the painted ones. That would be a fun hobby. Talon's measure of wealth LOLOL

California Condor.
Interesting: Captive bred California Condor's are being vaccinated for avian flu as an experiment. 1/5 of the Arizona condors died from it last year...
Last quote: "If it provides any protection at all, we should do it: Sorenson said.
Interesting story...and why we don't do this for agricultural birds etc.

tsk Not so concerned re snow but local Wunderground shows 30's and then 20's for this week - and then single digit highs for next week. WHAT! I'll be watching to see if any other local source comes up with the guesses.

It's a cold Monday, started at 9 degrees! brrrrr, late start for walking this morning.
Oldguy, Good to hear from you. You've been busy at work and home. Lots of plans for the New Year... The Walter Santi video of the recent kitten he rescued was a heartbreaker, I was in tears the first half. What a beautiful brave little guy, I pray they are able to find a forever home. Thanks for links.
Clynn, the sun is shining, there is snow on the Rimm it's 27 degrees now, and it's gorgeous outside. Stunning pic from the Grand Canyon.... Last night Mike finished the Tillamok Peppermint Bark ice cream ;D ... awww cute Talon story! Love the painted rocks...
Tsk, Aly's boss and his wife will help her unload the trailer.... We have great walking buddies. The gal I was meeting on New Year's Eve (daily walker too) had been having breathing problems. She had been coughing and having problems walking up the hills for the last month. I know this high elevation can bother people, it seems as the years go by I've been catching myself a bit too... Anyway, she was struggling on our walks this past week. She texted me early yesterday morning and said, she probably needs to get her pacemaker checked and medication changed. I agree bless her. Plans have changed for Mike, he's leaving for Houston on Weds and will return Friday. :-\ ... but, he goes to the valley for a checkup after his shot.
Kb, thanks for story on Condor. Did not know that about the AZ condors.... take care.
Lisa, oh my flood watch in the winter! Take care :-*
Phyl, love the antique trike, never had one. I wonder what that would be worth today. I love the show "American Pickers."
{{{Tig}}} you've had your workout today. Enjoy the rest of your day cozy and warm indoors.
{{{Puff and Lori}}} I hope you both have a lovely birthday! :-*

Happy heavenly birthday to your friend Kay and hugs for you Clynn.
Lani - So thoughtful of Aly to have taken that beautiful picture of you & Sadie! :) Love your snow pictures! So happy to know that Aly & Dewey are home safe & sound. I'm sure you are relieved {{Lani}} :-* Wow-cold temp for you in AZ today! Nice that Mike will be home an extra day by leaving Wednesday, rather than tomorrow. :)

LisaG - Later on in the season when the weather gets nice, maybe Bradley & Kelly will have you & Jeff over for a barbecue on that nice deck! :)

3 hours ago here in Minneapolis....this is what grease does!..only an inch here where I live.

Well you just have to love a Welsh Tidy Mouse .. ;D
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/07/mouse-secretly-filmed-tidying-mans-shed-every-night
-
some bounce
KB - LOL on the "attack". We had less than an inch today.
E4E - Sorry... I needed to take care of snow. I am on a mission this year - to move the shoveled snow back several feet from the edge of the driveway (where the men in my family leave it). Therefore after several snowfalls we, hopefully, will not have a snowbank over which we need to heave fresh snow. I did the snow from the weekend when I got home from the Y and then I just now did the snow we got this morning, and I did the patios and the city walk in the front.
Therefore, I'm postponing the dinner I planned to make and ask Camper to bring home some Panda Express. He went to a movie after he shoveled the walk and drive.
Now for a warm Drink... :o
-
KB What a great shot of that condor. Hope the vaccination works. I laughed out loud!!! lion and coyotes
PUFF Based on tonight's news - you should be getting more snow than I will.
LISA Beautiful cup with that cookie ;D I had bought these first 3 puzzles but a section at the grocery - 3 for $10.00.
All 500 pieces. Each took 7 days - the butterflies took 8. They were fun to do. Boy, you're getting rain and Midwest finally getting some snow - Second round Thurs to Sat.
PHYL Love that fabric owl :D Nice cakes!
BL Fascinating mouse - Wonder how much it gets/hour? ;D
CLYNN Great card for LORI ;D I'm glad times have change for cough syrup LOL ::)
LANI Beautiful cakes wishes for out two b-day gals today. I think the black squirrel will win! That's right, Aly has one great boss.
EAGLES Enjoy the visit with hubby's sister and fiancé - when's the wedding? ;) ;)
OLDGUY Could hardly watch the beginning of the Santi kitten vid. Good ending so far - Now a forever home. Shouldn't be too hard after that video. Like Santi's preview of coming attractions. Loved that song by Police. Maru et al - fun new year. Darci Lynne is amazing and getting better.
Crew of 4 women and 2 men to take down Xmas at the church - 90+ minutes. Offering 36 poinsettias free to parishioners ;D Then swiffered, washed and Quick shined my wood floors. ( my second January project done) Then off to Culvers and got myself a Concrete Blizzard for dinner!! - I deserve it ;)

Lots of lovely birthday greetings for Lori and Puff today. Hoping you gals had fun filled celebration.
CLynn Gosh. forgot it was 'The King's' birthday today. Shame on me 'cuz, so, I've been told, when I was just a babe still in her crib and that man started singing I'd pull myself up, latching to the rail top, squeal and bob up and down to the music! :-[ Sadly---as I matured I became enamored with The Fab Four. LOL
Unique peace symbol, :o that glacier and that 'One Night cough syrup" Goodness the ingredients in that suff wouldn't make the pass today as OTC.
Tig Boy! Do I envy you a warm swim in the AM. I hear ya on 'the men in you family'. ::)
LOL Lani the husky chasing the black squirrel. ;D You know as much as I watch the History Channel, I've never seen 'American Pickers'. Most thoughtful of Aly's boss/wife to help her out like that. Goes along way in expressing their fondness and concern for her. Being lactose intolerant, I miss out on the specialty ice creams---no doubt it was tasty . ;) :)
BL good idea keeping your 'electronics' batteries to capacity. Brrrrrrrr ! I really enjoyed that video of the Welsh Tidy Mouse. so cute . Thanks
Eagles cute little penguin this AM; yes we are similar temps wondering about our longs and lats. I wish I had neighbors like our Beakers.
Thanks.
KB that semi-truck definitely hit a slick spot in the freeway! Gotta watch for that 'black ice' and all. I feel prey to that once in my life---totaled out my car. :(
Tsk Yes. I think you deserve a Concrete Blizzard after all that work at church today. I hope you got an extra one to stash in a
corner of the freezer. ;D LOL

Happy birthday Puff! Enjoy the day and have a wonderful new year ,
Lori, Enjoy your day as you add another year !
I hope both of you have enjoyed some of the fun goodies the beakers have
posted!
Old guy! Lots of work going on in your surroundings! Spring will come! Lol.
Glad you made the sausage cake and, yes, the pork replaces any fat . It does well in the fridge and freezes!
Clynn, Talon is one smart boy! The sweater NR ade looks like a nordic design that might have come out of one of the interesting Hobbitt Houses! How is Harkey?
Bl, stay warm and safe! This is a storm system that I do not understand! Has to be multiple systems converging at your house! Tale care!
Eagles enjoy your company!
Lani, Aly has landed in a good place! You must feel good about this! Mike is a very good person and a very good man! Wish he would not work so hard!
Tsk, good job on the puzzles
They would make me crazy! Great dinner.
Washed bedding and a load of clothes this am! Ordered a few items from the store and charged my cell phone! Potted some amaryllis bulbs and moved some plants. Not too exciting and I hope the weather turns out to be the same way!
Baz?
Phyl, take Jim to work and have the car until you have to pick him up!

Good Evening/Morning Beakers
BL - I have been watching this system in the forecast for 5 days now - every forecast has changed the snow amounts for Tue and Wed. It started out as 1.5 inches each day - the current forecast is 12 inches for Tue. I get to work on Tue. - forecast is for .5 in/hour rate - so I will have about 4 in. on ground at start of shift and 7 in. on the way home. I ended up buying a 20V snow shovel today after work - it should get a workout this week...
OG I hope you can catch a snow day off work tomorrow. It looks like Iowa City is really going to take it on the chin .. :o

Bl, stay warm and safe! This is a storm system that I do not understand! Has to be multiple systems converging at your house! Take care!
Karen it's really just one huge nasty low pressure system that's going to bring trouble to a whole lot of the USA. ::)
You and Baz need to keep a very keen eye on the weather in your 2 areas tomorrow.
Slide your cursor over the times/dates at the top of the map. You'll get the gist.

Phyl - Wow, an authentic German Stollen, that must have been delicious! How is Jim? Is he feeling better? Thanks for the 365, and for the link on the solar eclipse.
tig - A nice warm pool sounds wonderful. I hope you got your Panda Express after all your hard work!
Lani - Oh my 9°, you are very chilly this morning. Did you get your shoveling done?
clynn - Yikes, on that iceberg! LOL, the cough syrup ingredients!
BL - Thanks for the weather link.
E4E - Hope you enjoy your visit with hubby's sister and fiance'. :)
kb - LOL, tiger and two coyotes! Yikes, on that truck slip sliding away.
tsk - Not a bad price for those puzzles, and you did them in good time, too. You sure did deserve that Blizzard. Mmm, Culver's...love those ButterBurgers!
karen - You had another busy day.
Good night, everyone!
-
Well, Lori and I have really over stayed our alloted time today. It is so sweet to hear from our bird buddies. And then, too, all those delicious low-cal cakes. . .yummy.
Memory lane time - for those from the 2011 inductees to the group, do you recall Alice Witt? She helped me out getting addicted and with some of the steps and areas we had available. I believe about 2013 we found that we had the same birth date. Not just the month and day, but the year. My note from her this year gave me a new title "birthday sister". If my old-person mind is still clear for the day, I know I was born about 8 pm, she was born during the day. Makes her older. ;)
Also, coincidentally, she's from the area. We both live west of Chicago, she's north of me and around O'Hare. Actually, tsk, she's close to you.
But I like that new title "Birthday Sisters".
Thanks again to all for spreading the good wishes. HUGS to you all.

BL, I read your report, you've got a lot of rain coming from all directions. Yes, charging anything and everything. I hope you have a generator too.... I pray you, Pip and Kopje will be safe. Prayers for all to be safe.... Love the House Proud Welsh Tidy Mouse! LOL! Great story, and a keeper for sure! ;D
Clynn, Tillamok Peppermint Bark Ice cream is a seasonal product. We found it in the valley in early November, and saved it for Mike for the holidays.... iceberg looks like the Titanic floating by... I can't believe the ingredients in the cough syrub. Yikes!
Kb, oh my "Tiger attacked by two coyotes!" Too cute! ... do you know there's a Greasy, Oklahoma?! ;D
Tig, I removed the snow off our driveway, entry and patio today.... Doing the Y and then removing snow, you deserve that warm drink and Panda Express. What movie did Camper see?
Tsk, My goodness! You helped take Christmas down at church... "Then swiffered, washed and Quick shined wood floors, and it's your second January project done! And it's only January 8th! WOW! What vitamins are you taking and yes, you deserve a Concrete Blizzard. Did you eat it in the car, away from Tim? ;D
Phyl, wolf had its tail between it legs running quickly across the open field. I hope all was well for it... thanks for the Live Science... I hope Jim is feeling better.
Karen, you've had a busy day too. I hope you gave yourself a treat! ;D Mike surprised me with a carrot cake after my busy day. ;D
Puff, I hope you're feeling better and had a nice birthday... I remember Alice Witt, she was very nice and friendly to new forum members.. She shared many valuable info about eagles, I learned a lot from her, I think there was a couple of eagle cams she was a mod on..... That's wonderful you both are in contact with each other "Birthday Sisters". :)
Lisa, Yes, I got the shoveling done. When are you leaving for your mom's?
Good night!
Thinking of Clynn, sending Heavenly birthday prayers to Kay!

What’s Up? NASA’s January Skywatching Tips
https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching/whats-up/ (https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching/whats-up/)
The moderate Quadrantid meteor shower is active from Dec. 28 to Jan. 12. The moon will wash out faint meteors, but the shower often produces bright "fireball" meteors.
Look for brilliant Venus rising with a slim crescent moon in the southeast, in the hour before sunrise, on Monday, Jan. 8. The moon will appear very close to the bright red star Antares, appearing to pass in front of the star for observers in parts of the Western U.S. On Jan. 13 and 14, the crescent moon will be visible with Saturn for observers in the southwest for a couple of hours following sunset.
If you have access to a telescope or binoculars, January 14–20 is a great week to pull them out. The presence of the first quarter moon makes for great viewing opportunities as you sweep across the sky, exploring the Moon, then Jupiter and its moons, the Pleiades, the Hyades, and the Orion Nebula.

Phyl, thanks for the NASA sky watching tips! Talon got a telescope for Christmas, I am going to send him some information! Cute little ermine popping up to scope the situation... Lovely blue coffee cup this morning, and the blueberry pancakes! I know what you mean about it being hard to get medical appointments! And then the snow! I am supposed to have my appointment with the retinal specialist this morning at 9:00, but it's still snowing. They won't plow the residential streets until the snow stops, which will be around 2:00 or so. We are on the corner of our street and one of the more important streets, so Ed thinks he can make it to the clinic, about a mile away. I am going to call first and see if the doctor was able to make it to the clinic!
Lani, I did find one holiday Tillamook ice cream, just one time. It was Sugar Cookie Dough, it was good! It's beautiful outside right now, looks like we have about 6" and it's still coming down...
Puff, I remember Alice Witt, she was one of the original members of the forum. I hope she is doing well! I can't remember what the forum was called then! When I was still working we had four of us in the same department with the same birthday - May 6th!
tsk, you are the Energizer Bunny, I think I have called you that before!

Lani - I am leaving to head to Mama's on Sunday the 21st.
I hope all Beakers are safe and warm!

GOOD MORNING
Not happening yet!
PHYL I enjoyed my ice cream but now back to sensible eating today. ;) ;) Thanks for the 10 cities to witness the solar eclipse. Wish I was one of them LOL
KAREN Do you still have your home health aide? You sure are keeping yourself busy in a way that tells me you may have dismissed the help?
PUFF Did Alice Witt use her real name in posting. I think I remember her.. What burb is she in? Did/does she volunteer for an animal rescue group? Birthday sisters - cute :)
LANI Tim left for Door County yesterday knowing full well there would be "blizzard" conditions up there today. Sure hope he can stay safe....He will be back tomorrow if the weather allows. Feels he's invincible :( ??? :-\ Hope that carrot cake had a cream cheese frosting LOL
PHYL The whole country is in turmoil these days - Lots of tornado warnings in the southeast I hear this AM. Well at least you and Jim will have some answers this week. Love the little " jack in the box" ermine ;D
CLYNN Good idea to make sure doc is there first LOL Sure hope you get that appt today. What a coincidence that 4 of your office workers had the same b-day - the odds LOL Interesting fact that Juneau has no road access Yikes
LISA Another cozy AM pic :D
-
clynn Been there, seen it many times, but that's a brand new perspective of Juneau. Yep, no way to get there but fly in or float in. There is a partial train connection but then you have to pick up ferry/shuttle. It's worth it though - did y'all appreciate that view!!!!
P

Waiting for the storm to come and go! Phyll, will take your wind! We have7 mph predicted and I hope it does not materialize. Several tornados reported in the Florida panhandle! No damage reports as they are continually tracking this potentially dangerous mess!
Got up this am to the call from Code Red. Had been laying in bed with Piper thinking the storm had by passes us but jumped up. Got dressed and made coffee, let Piper out and dashed to the street to get the trash receptacle! It was already blown over. Got it righted and in the garage! Dark as pitch so am hoping the power holds! Trees in back of me are leaning from the hurricane and if they fall can hit the fence and power line. WishI had talked to them abour these trees!
Any way, that is life here in Paradise!
Tsk, I still have the help but I do need to cancel them! Really just need a housekeeper every two weeks! Maybe a driver!
Severe-thunder storm warning just posted.
Clynn, hope you got to the doctor safely! I know you have many questions!
Doctor appointments are hard to get in December as people are going to be seen before the first of tge yrar as their deductibles have been paid! Then there is an increase i. Covid,rsv and flu along with the crazy cough! Phyl, you have been seen for your nose, just notthe ent!
Pouring rain now and just had another code red call!
Remember Alice! Very pleasant lady.
Clynn, my dads birthday was May 7th! Bbl, power willing!

This view of Juneau is not unfamiliar to me either---
In 2005 when Jim was flying for his last employer Doane Pet Care Inc, he and Rodney (and me as I was invited) took the Hawker and flew there to meet our company's president (family) who had taken a cruise with a potential client and his family to Alaska and her coast. There were no other passengers as Rodney's wife couldn't come along ( :() as she worked and wasn't allowed time off. So ---when Jim put wheels down to land on Sitka, Island; he told me to un buckle and move to the cockpit to view. the landing from the pilot's perspective. It was a thrill. And, I love thrills. Took a ferry to Juneau. Did the same when we left.
I remember shopping in a chain store called 'Galligaskins'. (British for very loose trousers; breeches worn in the 16th and 17th centuries. Chiefly British leather leggings,gaiters,) They had a line of children's' clothing called "Perry Otter'. A bit of a play on the 'Harry Potter' books. LOL
There were a couple of other 'tag alongs' Alaska way none more than over night---exects were along. :(
-
Lisa, lovethose slipper socks! Used to havesome!
-
Right now we have wind gusts up to 30mph and light rain. Wind is SW at 18mph. I suspect, for us, this is from that nasty weather the midwest and east coast is /will be getting
Tsk/Lisa thanks for well wishes this week---esp for Jim---
From what I've had to learn on my own about my fracture it could be healed already. But, it still hurts---alot. And that makes me hesitant to reinstate the treatment for the chronic non-allergic Rhinitis. What I'm seeking is an medical go ahead on the normalcy.
Karen Do take care.
CLynn I hope you do---But, I'll be surprised if you make your appt today. Your high later when all that snow drops ---is forecast to be -15F right on Caucus Day. :o I get so concerned for the folks living where winter months are actually winter with snow and ice.
Enjoyed all the morning posts and pictures .
With the weather I won't get to see much in the skies---not this week. :(

tsk - I thought that morning pic was appropriate for today. All, I would need is a Hallmark movie on the TV, and I would be good for the day. :D
Puff - Morning :)
karen - Mama just called, and said, we must have had a tornado pass thru here last night. She said, I just passed Walmart, and a few other businesses and notice trampolines turned over, some brick walls to neighborhoods entrances knocked over and a few other things.
Phyl - Good thoughts and wishes for your appointment.
-
Something very unusual weather occurring across the country at this time.
Every single State in the country has some type of weather Advisory, Watch or Warning in some part of the State .. :o
https://www.weather.gov/
KarenG it looks like the worst of that nasty squall line is past your area now.
Hope your property remained unscathed.
LisaG I do see some wind damage reports near Mobile, AL for yesterday 01/08/24 but no tornado storm damage reports (yet) however.
https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/reports/?&source=prelim&all&date=20240108
You need to stay weather aware at your location tonight also. You Jeff and the poodie_tats stay hunkered in. :)

Good morning Beakers! Photo of The Rim taken by one of the homeowners on a higher elevation in our community (looking East towards Pinetop, you would travel that way if you're on 260 and heading towards New Mexico). See the gorgeous forest we live in below, there are cabins/homes among those trees... We're always walking or hiking throughout these hills.
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
BL, thanks for weather update and links.
{{{Baz and Zippo}}} I hope you both are okay... thinking of you and sending prayers.
{{{Karen and Piper}}} sending hugs and prayers, take care :-*
Lisa, love the socks ;D ... prayers for your mom and residents in her area. :o
Tsk, oh Tim, Mike feels the same.... prayers Tim will be safe and able to return home.
Phyl, gorgeous day for the beautiful Ermine to take a telescope peek on nature video.... thanks for Nasa information.... gorgeous blueberries and pancakes, it looks porcelain.... prayers for you and Jim.
Clynn, beautiful morning pics.... start looking for Tillamok Peppermint Bark Ice cream in October. It'll be gone by December.... prayers you will be able to attend your doctor's appt today. :-*

Lani what a gorgeous view of the Rim that house has from the G.C. 8) 8)

PUFF Juneau - Wonder if every one knows everyone LOLOL It's a captive audience ;) ;)
KAREN Wow You going out and pulling in your tipped over garbage bin is quite a feat!!
PHYL Great experience for you to see Juneau even for a short time. :)
LISA Pretty scary down there in the panhandle area. Bet they have warnings for the bridge today?
LANI That is such a beautiful area you live in. What a view - awesome
Still no snow forming here - Just a rainy sleet - It is 35 degrees.
-
29 minutes left on our tornado watch! 70 degrees! Think I will step out and wash the windows on the sides of the door!
Power out about 5 minutes this afternoon and not I can reset things!
A lot of water in the yard and small bits of trees down but nothing major! Yard keepers here Friday and will get if cleaned up! Should be dried up by then!
Lani beautiful picture if your lovely area!
Tsk, safe. Travels to Tim!
Bl, thanks for the weather reports? This mess is Moving North! You, Lisa and Baz, stay safe!
-
BL - Thanks! Will tell Mama, no tornadoes, just very windy. Oh, the wind report on your link has changed from what I read earlier. I hope all my trees withstand the wind. :-\
Lani - Gorgeous view!
tsk - Jeff came home at noon. He didn't want to cross in the wind and rain this evening.
-
According to NWS---here in Middle Tennessee, we'll be under a wind advisory for about another day (Wednesday) with wind and gusts 40-50 mph. :o Its noisy with this weather. The wind comes underneath the eaves sounds like we're being lifted . Jim has been out in this blustery wet mess since 6am and working thru until 5pm. Then he has to make it home. A warm shower and hot coffee awaits.
Lani here's recipe for the pancakes in my AM post. Blue Spirulina Keto-Paleo Pancake Recipe https://www.blogilates.com/blog/blue-spirulina-keto-paleo-pancake-recipe/ (https://www.blogilates.com/blog/blue-spirulina-keto-paleo-pancake-recipe/)
BL Thanks. Y'all take care. Albeit for Nashville, TN , I have links in my AM post today.
Karen good news on tornado watch and temps.
Tsk with that sleet :o 35F Brrrr!
Lisa good Jeff is home. Y'all take care---mama too.

From Alaska to Arizona - We Live In A Beautiful Country!!!!
I better get busy on the states still in my bucket.
Lani - When I saw yesterday's pic of snow in the canyon I thought of "icing on the rocks". How ever would you manage to describe the view. First time I saw it, tears - lots of tears, first husband tears also. A person should be mandated to see the big hole in the ground before they die. I still get emotional when I go there.
And now I'm remembering all that beauty BL shared with us. There's got to be a better work than THANKS for what he shared with us. How about "Thanks and a big (((((hug))))) to BL.
Tsk - along with knowing everybody they know everybody's business. ::)
This morning less than an inch had fallen. Michael cleared walks/drives down to the cement/pavement. Got up to about 33-34
Now we have lots of big flakes. Now all is white. Cement/pavement are gone. At least 2 inches - and its going to be there for a while cuz it is 32. Watching for the dog sleds. ;D

Puff just to clarify: When Lani mentions the Rim by her near Payson, AZ she is referring to the Mogollon Rim.

The "Rims" of the Grand Canyon are about about 125 miles North of the Mogollon Rim above Payson. :)

Good afternoon Beakers!
Hi Tig - I know you like to stay on top of all there is to be done around house & yard! :)
Tsk - I have ordered one of those BeneCanes for my mom! I looked at the link you had provided for Tig, and I thought that getting a new and better cane than what my mom has been using, would come in very useful for her! As for my SIL's engagement, I do not know of a date for the wedding yet!
Safe travels for Tim!! He is brave to have gone to Door County yesterday - although I forget how long the drive usually is.
Phyl - I agree that if we had neighbors like our Beakers - we would have the best neighbors!! So glad you finally get see an ENT tomorrow. Hope you get a good report on how you've been healing.
Karen - You sure do keep busy! :) Just read about your Trash Receptacle and how you were out there picking it up and getting it upright!! You are strong!! ;D
BL - Wonderful of you always providing links and info for the Beakers in those 'weather' areas!
LisaG - Yeah it will be a good time and will definitely be a late evening as they won't arrive until about 4 pm. Their other brother is coming over too. He just lives about 45 minutes away from here.
Puff - Hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday!
Lani - You too, are getting your exercise in with shoveling, and of course I know you walk Sadie everyday!!
Clynn - I hope the doctor was able to make it in to the clinic. You & Ed take care and be safe. I watched Al Roker on the Today Show this morning giving the weather report!!
Hi Kb, Baz, Og
By the way, did anyone hear from Lori as to how she spent her birthday? Hopefully she had a wonderful birthday! :-* :)
Beakers have a safe, warm evening.
-
Hello Beakers! I called the clinic this morning and changed my appointment to Friday. We couldn't get out, no plowing was done until later, and the Dr. had not made it in yet.
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/78/b1/9d/78b19d111ebd3a338d99eae0cddab3f5.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2a/85/75/2a857592af81666e5c62819b1b56dfb9.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/56/55/26/5655268e4757ecbc7116f2f507a60bb8.jpg)
E4E, we got 8-9", it's very pretty! Erin and Sydney will be over soon to clear the 4 driveways/sidewalks here (3 other neighbors pay him to clear theirs). So I will get to spend some time with the Munchkins! I have a pot of chili on the stove! Ed went out and pushed some of the snow off the cars and shoveled the little sidewalk to the driveway.
Phyl, I am going to have to try those beautiful pancakes! I have everything but the Blue Magik, which I don't think is actually needed unless you want them to be extra pretty! I don't have blackberries, but plenty of blueberries! I had to look up the Blue Majik, sounds like it is pretty good for you!
Blue Majik®
Blue Majik is a propriety certified organic extract of Arthrospira platensis, a Nutrient Dense AquaBotanical™. Its stunning blue pigment is made up primarily of Phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant which has the ability to quench free radicals and is a potent natural COX-2 inhibitor — effective in alleviating chronic inflammation. In addition to Phycocyanin, Blue Majik contains anti-inflammatory compounds
Puff, so what is left on your bucket list?
Wow, this weather is hitting almost all of us!

Our Rutt, near Borup MN...not that far away from Georgetown where last seen many days ago.
Admin posted earlier today pics coming of our Rutt...that post is gone now, and this one is at top of page, so I assume this is what she was waiting for...?
Lots of snow.
tsk - waiting to hear if Tim made it to Door County. I've been tracking the snow and it looks like most of the day it snowed there.
We had somewhere between 10-15 of these kind of systems last year....whew, not this one.
Lots of snow....I feel y'all.

BL I knew today's posting was of a location outside of her town. The "iced" picture I spoke of that caught my awe was of the south rim, looking down into the depth of the canyon. Either one was awesome - in person all these inspiring views are not to be categorized, merely cherished. I have an huge edition of memories: The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain N.P., Bryce, the Tetons, Glacier N.P. So many "views" etched into old brain, never to be forgotten or downgraded. All these is on a convenient line, US89, south to north. I just admire them all and I'm glad I have the memories. (Old mind that it is these remain somehow - Meanwhile I can't find the safe place I put my missing ring. Which matters more?)
Maybe someone is swifter than I and can recall the Grand Canyon "icing" pic one or two days ago?

It has been a "WHITE" day around here - this time yesterday our ground was snow free - we still have about 3 hours to go, according to the forecast. My deck is at 13" at the center - corner railing posts have snow caps of about 10" high.
Went in to work this morning - got there without any problems - left early, after getting 2 key tasks done - very empty store - left at 1:15... visibility was down to about 500 ft. and roads completely covered with 3-6 inches of slush/wet snow.
Below pics from my door looking at deck rail, cars, lilac bush (about 5 ft high, without snow) now about 2.5 ft. high
-
Phyl - Oh no, poor Jim out in all this mess. I am glad Jeff made it home. At 4pm, I went up towards the bridge to get my haircut. The traffic was already starting to get backed up. They only had one lane open on each span for travel. An hour ago, they closed the bridge for sustained winds.
Puff - You be careful if you go out.
E4E - Does sounds like a fun time.
clynn - Beautiful snow pics. I am glad that you got another appointment so quickly.
kb - Love the pretty pic of Rutt.
oldguy - Pretty snow pics, too!
tsk - Did Tim say that if he got alot of snow in Door County?
-
PHYL " monkfruit" sugar? New one for me.
LISA Good reasoning for Jeff. If they had closed the bridge for wind before he got home would he then have had to get a motel to stay for the night? Yes Tim got snow but the blowing winds were more of a problem for his exploring around up there.
PUFF The heavy wet snow started at 1:30 . Sidewalks are covered but don't think we have more than an inch. Other burbs got a lot more! - We were on the line between rain or snow. It has stopped for now. Will catch the weather in a bit on TV You could knock off 3 of those states in one road trip!! ;D ;D
CLYNN At least it is still this week and not another month from now. Wonder if doc got in at all... Boy just look at your bird feeder view - WOW You have a wonderful son and this little side job ( exercise and $$) for him is a good
idea. ;) ;) A win win - You get time with the munchkins ;D You have that monk fruit sugar?
KB He went up on Monday so all roads were good. It has lightly snowed there most of the day - Streets still OK BUT the winds are so strong it blows the snow making it harder to drive as he was exploring up there today. Wisconsin is pretty good about clearing it's expressways which is 2/3's of his trip. Glad you got a break on this one!!
OLDGUY Golly, you really got a big storm - 13" mid deck - Impressive. Now be so careful about clearing all that snow.
Maybe pay someone to use your new toy ;) ;)

Good Morning Beakers!
Lani, are you able to see the rim on your walk? It sounds so beautiful! Found this picture of fresh snow on the South Rim... Sweet snuggly puppy!

OG a 13 - 15" snow total for Iowa City sounds about right. In line with last nights NWS forecast of 12-18".
Now the real question for the back and ticker is: is it heavy wet or light powdery ? ;)

Hi Eagles How's Chris's project coming along or is it finished?
Lani I had understood you correctly about 'the rim' near Payson. AZ. ;) Your rim has an etherealness with the snowfall.
CLynn if the doc is no show ---nobody goes. :( Well, at least you can get in this week. ;) Lovely photos of the yard and all with the snow. You have a wonderful son and DIL to do all that for you/Ed. So glad you had some time with the Munchkins, too. 'Blue Magik', maybe a good thing to keep in one's panty. 'Mnemonic' poem that's a new one.
KB Know you will ---but take care if ever out and about in this stuff. Tks for update/photo on 'Rutt'. He looks great and majistic in that snow laden forest. Such a contrast of his dark 'fur' against the whiteness of the snow.
Hi Lori lovely trib to CLynn's Kay. Hope you had a nice celebration and all's well on your end. Unless I missed 'something'. :(
Puff that's a few states left to check out
Tsk "monkfruit sugar" from Blue Majik Keto-Paleo Pancake Recipe---a real new one for me!
OG that's a lotta snow. Y'all take care. We have some in our forecast later--- in a day or so.

Beautiful snow pictures, clynn and old guy, You have hit jackpot on snow! I like Bl’s comment on shoveling wet, heavy snow! Terrible experience before snow blowers, etc! I especially hated moving the snow that was piled up at the juncture of the driveway and the street that was left there by the street plows! Oh, my aching back! Fo be careful!
Tsk, glad to hear Wisconsin is keeping up with their tradition of clearing the roads! Even before expressways you could always tell when you left Il or Wi by the road surface! Lol!
Wind alert still in effect here until midnight but so far I am not aware of wind!
Phyl and Jim, good luck with medical appointments!
Lori, waving at you! Baz, how are things going?

BL, Thank you for providing the correct information. We just call our beautiful forest Rim Country, never thinking others would confuse it with the Grand Canyon. My fault for not being more specific. Thanks :)

Lisa, Glad Jeff is home.... Are the kids okay?...... This weather is bad everywhere, Mike told me today, it was so windy over LaPlace, LA, it looked like tornadoes at times.....
BL, thanks for Rutt map update .... only 5 states left to fish, camp, explore or hike!
Kb, And there's handsome Rutt in a beautiful snowy area!
Puff, beautiful memories... only 5 more states to visit.
Lori, lovely remembrance for Kay.
Clynn, Glad you were able to get another appt.... Beautiful snow pics.... glad you were able to spend time with the munchkins... pot of chili, munchkins, your wonderful son Erin, Sydney, family. :-*
Oldguy, lots of snow.... take care
Phyl, thanks for sharing your blueberry pancake recipe... never heard of Monk Fruit sugar. I'll have to ask Aly if she's ever tried it... Thanks for understanding about The Rim. I'm sorry for the confusion.
Good night!

Snow! Erin brought their snowblower so he and Sydney could both work on the snow, he taught her how to run the machine and she did all the sidewalks while he did the driveways. Our lot and across the street are corner lots, so lots of sidewalk. They cleared 5 houses. there are a couple on the block who call him when it snows. They all called... He said this snow was very heavy, I am glad Sydney helped. I bet they fell asleep as soon as they hit the pillow... A couple of branches down from the two pine trees we have on the street side. Another inch of snow today. And a couple of pics of Bella and Sydney with the kittens!

tsk, glad to hear Tim is okay up in DC, he misses your trips up there, doesn't he... Yes, I have Monk Fruit Sugar, found it when looking for a natural sweetener! Cold and foggy here right now.
Lani, Bella is so smitten with the kittens! The iPad was never turned on! Talon, glued to the laptop! So studious! Do you have snow on the ground? I can't keep track of it! Oops, my mistake, I didn't realize that the Grand Canyon was that far away from you, I should have looked at a map! So I looked up the Mogollon Rim, and it is a beautiful place! Definitely a destination!

BL, I have been to all the states on your list, mine are all in New England...your neck of the woods! Maine, NH, RI, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey (landed in NJ when we flew back from England but I don't think that counts...). Wicked weather everywhere these past few days. Love your 'like shoveling mud with a pitchfork' description!
Lori, thanks for remembering Kay, Kelsey asks about her often. She's puzzled that someone else is living in her townhouse, and she talks about how they always went to Menards on Saturdays...
oldguy, looks like to got more snow than we did!
On FB last evening... Please still stay off I-80. Find alternate routes. Stay home or find parking and lodging.

Well, another really blustery night last night. Forecast rain for Friday---good I don't have that to deal with today.
Jim home a 11am today and I have to hussle for my ENT appointment .
Thinking of all the {{Beakers }}fighting this weather front. Take care y'all.
Lani that darling of a kitten looks like a 'Lykoi' or wolf cat (werewolf cat) see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lykoi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lykoi); when I posted the photo of berry pancake stack I checked out the recipe and thought of Aly; no confusion for me on 'The Rim' I knew what you were talking about. I've been to Grand Canyon many times ---You mentioned Mike and weather conditions in LA reminded me--- Jim's younger sister, Susan and her family plus Danny their younger brother live in Baton Rouge. Her husband Sam is a professor there at LSU. Susan's retired from LSU admin dept . .

Morning all..
Have to decide whether or not to return our comcast/xfinity boxes this morning....in about an hour or so.
We've had a few rounds of freezing fog.
The middle of the street is the only place they've dropped salt (hence dry) and I can only see what I can see out my window. The drive across the street at the apts is salted heavily as they don't want the liability of a slip and fall to their door entrance or down the steep hill to the back for parking...
Perhaps it will be fine by then down my street hill and elsewhere? We shall see..
BTW, I've learned fairly easily how to work the remotes for our streaming services including you tube tv.
My orchid is blooming and a nice winter addition.
BL- of course, thanks for the map of Rutt's travels. I'm sure glad he followed my orders from two days ago!, LOL...to stay away from the Red River...good boy, Rutt
-
Wow that was a wild storm for this time of year at this local !
Pip & I are high and dry and we didn't loose power thankfully.
We live on 'high ground' and have never really flooded right here.
We don't presently live real close to any rivers, but my childhood home was right smack dab in the middle of the West & East branches of the Saddle River up by the NY/NJ border.
Someone a long time ago thought the river looked like the shape of a saddle. We lived "inside" of the saddle. :-\
(Map image Below).
We were cut off from the world so many times as a kid I couldn't count.
Bridges that flooded over easily in every NEWS direction. ::)
It's a real mess of serious flooding here in northern NJ .. again. ::) :(

tsk - If they had closed the bridge before he got home, he would have just stayed the night at his Dad's in Annapolis. So, Tim didn't get to do as much as he wanted in Door County with the winds?
BL - What are you waiting for...you only have 5 more to explore! :D
oldguy - I hope you had some help shoveling, or if you didn't, that you took a break doing it.
karen - I am glad that you were not aware of the wind. LOL
Lani - Yep, all is good here, no power loss or branches down. Also, good at Bradley's. I hope Mike made out ok with the weather in LA. Sweet kitty!
clynn - Oh no, did the branches from the pine break your new fence? Love the pic of Bella looking at the kitten. Has Harley met the kitties yet? The munchkins look like they had a great snow day!
Phyl - Good luck with your doc appointment, and thanks for the 365.
kb - Your orchid is beautiful.

Good morning on a chillier day in South .georgia! Bright sun and no wind! Fridays rain coming from the gulf and bringing warmer temps and possible storms again! Hang on Phyl! Local news last night and this morning showed a lot of damage around here, so we were lucky! They say Valdosta is in a hole so that may save us!
Lani, I never confused you with the Grand Canyon either! Your location has a softer look to it to me! More forests! La did take a hit in the recent storms!
Phyl, is your appointment today, or Jims? Does he wear one of the yellow rain coats at Publix? Have not seen one for a while but they are great ! Would love one. Years ago, the man across the street, now since passed away, took one and wore it home! It annoyed me and months later I returned it to customer service and explained where it was! Have to go today to pick up a script!
Clynn, good for Erin and you and your neighbors! Bella looks like her mother in that picture! I was thinking that the kitties have her attention! Computers, games, dolls, not so much!
Good news Bl and Lisa!
Be safe and have a good day!

Royal Albatross update 1/8
Sharyn candled BOK (on nest) & WYL's egg yesterday
At day 54 (Sunday 7th Jan) showed that the embryo is still healthy.
This egg is a week younger than LGK & LGL’s egg.
Even though inexperienced with chick raising WYL & BOK are good at egg incubation
Video of Ranger Sharyn candled BOK & WYL's egg
https://twitter.com/i/status/1744138436502843869
We are now 10 days away from visual checks of LGK and LGL’s egg at Top Flat. When hatching begins the developing embryo moves into the air cell of the egg. Sometimes, sounds like scrunching can be heard as the membranes are broken through. There may even be a chick call. When the shell has a crack or pip in it for the beginning of hatching, we will remove it to the incubator. We hold the parents on the nest with a dummy egg until the chick has hatched. The nest will be sprayed with Avian Insect Liquidator* to ensure that flies are not living in the nest when the chick is returned.
The toroa colony at Pukekura is so tiny (just 1% of the entire world population of Northern Royal Albatross) that every chick matters. The incidence of often fatal fly strike** on this headland is too high to leave the hatching eggs at the nest.
The parents are happy to incubate the dummy egg and receive the chick quite readily when it has hatched.
LGK and LGL have raised 2 chicks that have hatched in the incubator with no incidence.
Although in-experienced with chick raising WYL and BOK are good at egg incubation. A candling*** of the egg at day 54 (Sunday 7th January) showed that the embryo is still healthy. This egg is a week younger that LGK and LGL’s egg.
*Avian Insect Liquidator is a bird-safe liquidator that repels flies. It is necessary to use a bird-safe repellent only as the respiratory system, being evolved for flight, is much for efficient than that of mammals.
**Fly strike and why is it an issue. Fly strike is caused by flies laying eggs in the flesh of the hatching chick and the resulting maggots quickly devouring the flesh they find themselves on. It is an issue at this site due to introduced flies that hatch out maggots supper fast and introduced grasses that hold the heat on the volcanic soils in this area. Fly strike only became an issue in the 1970’s and has become increasingly severe with the hotter, drier summers which are a result of climate change.
**Candling: shining a light at an egg in a dark space so that the inside is revealed. At this later stage of incubation, the egg is dark with a clear air cell like in the following picture.

Hi Talon and Miss Bella! Cute Snow day pics!! I bet Erin and Sydney were exhausted! Bless them for helping your neighbors too... How is Harley doing with the kittens? I think of him often, as I look at my two boys... Yes, we still have snow and expecting more on Thursday.... YIKES! I-80
Hi Tsk

CLYNN Loved the geese walking LOL Dramatic pic of the pine branches :o Awww such sweet pics of Sydney and Bella
Tim just got home. He left at 6:30 and was slower going down in the Peninsula but X-ways good. What a mess on I80 :o
Sure seems like we got more snow days when we were kids!
PHYL " Sinking feeling" is right. Interesting. Loved 365 today
KB Your orchid is gorgeous!
LANI I wasn't confused either.. I'd been to Grand Canyon LOL Fly strike sounds horrible. Glad they have a solution for that. gray seal made me laugh ;D ;D
BL Interesting map of your childhood home location.
LISA Tim now home safe and sound. X-ways in good shape. He likes driving around the peninsula and noticing all the new building - lots of new condo's going up and construction galore. Of course not much is open esp on M T W but he knew that.
-
tsk - so good to hear!
I left shortly after my post....twas greasy on the way there so I took a different way home which was wet/dry.
Surprised as York ave greasy, France clean.....go figure. They are only .5 mile apart...
Yah! I officially cut the cord...after 25 years of service the guy taking in my equipment back was a robot. The peeps on the phone were trying to keep us but nice when we said no.
Even got a walk in with Ollie later...now snowing lightly....think it might be a week or more Ollie man with the cold temps coming in...I mean like highs of below zero.

Our Rutt, near Borup MN...not that far away from Georgetown where last seen many days ago.
Admin posted earlier today pics coming of our Rutt...that post is gone now, and this one is at top of page, so I assume this is what she was waiting for...?
KB Rutt's updated travel map. 475 miles and counting from Alton, IA. :) 8)
KB The Rutt map has been updated once again today 01/10/24.
His original confirmed sightings have now been added. 1 in Flandreau, SD on 09/16/23 & 1 in Rock Valley, IA on 09/22/23.
As approved by the Admins. :)
Rutt's travel map updated 01/10/2024.
Rutt's track up to 01/09/2024 ...
Some Rutt stats so far ..
From Flandreau, SD on 09/16/2023 (1st sighting).
- to -
Borup, MN on 01/09/2024 = 115 Days
Point to Point STRAIGHT LINE miles = 555 and counting.
A daily moving average (if he moved every day the same distance) which he did not = 4.8 miles per day.
Rutt obviously traveled many more miles than 555:
A) he doesn't hoof it in a straight line and ..
B) we have no way of knowing where his journey really started this season.
>> GO RUTT GO >>
I will update this map as sightings are confirmed by the Admins of this FB Group. See less

BL- yes I saw it was approved...South Dakota his first siting....I tried to follow the Red River from ND south, assuming of course he left Canada or even just the Dakotas to escape the fire this last summer. I was surprised how hard it was to follow it (Red River) on google maps...I assumed he went south and somehow crossed it or went south enough that he didn't have to?...before once again heading north through IA and then MN...Can you see where the Red River ends up?
It's exciting for me to see where Rutt ends up. And let's hope Canada escapes fires once again this upcoming summer.
-
BL - hmm, I'm reading wikipedia about the Red River now.....I guess it flows north!...who knew..so Rutt apparently had plenty of room to cross into IA or MN at the areas he did without worrying about it.
Confirm for me if you agree.
Edit: I'm obsessed with him crossing the Big Red...it now appears to me he may never have come from ND...but maybe south from even MN and crossed to SD...

BL Interesting map of your childhood home location.

My parents and brother are buried in that churches very historic cemetery. It's a very peaceful resting place high above but looking down on the east branch of the Saddle River under a lovely white dogwood tree that's under towering old oak trees with a stone bench for reflection.

Hello Beakers
I got my snow removal completed this afternoon - did get some help from a neighbor boy (about 10), so ready to do it all over again on Friday after another 8-10 inches... :P
KB - the Red river starts at Wahpeton ND - with the merging of the Bois de Sioux River (drains the area to the south) and Otter Tail River (drains from MN) The Big Sioux River runs thru Flandreau (heading south) but is not very big. Interestingly, there is no river along the SD/MN border south of Ortonville MN to the Iowa border.

Yes the Red River of the North does in fact flow from S to N kb.
Good catch kb we also assumed incorrectly the RR flowed N to S.
It looks like the Red River begins in Wahpeton, ND / Breckenridge, MN and does flow north forming part of the border between ND and MN.
It begins in name at the confluence of the Otter Tail River and the Bois De Sioux river there. Image.
We were also a bit confused on the rivers that Rutt did or did not have to cross to get into northeast IA from SD.
Don't forget the drought conditions this past Summer/Fall in that area.
Very low river levels might have played a part in Rutt's "unusual" track.
He might have had to only had to cross stoney river bottoms with a trickle in them.
Mature moose are great swimmers however, I've seen them swimming miles from shore on big lakes just for the shits and giggles of it. ;D
Fast moving water may have triggered the no I don't think so instinct especially in a young moose not use to 'moving' water.
The Red River was in flood between MN and ND when he got to Georgetown MN on 12 /30-31/ 2023.
He might as a young male moose been like what the heck is all that river noise all about_ head east young man.
Plenty of good crop pickings with low snow load right here in MN.
kb I thank you for turning me onto Rutt's big adventure. 8)
I'm not a big follower of social media, but this FB group was very positive and cool.
The best part of it all is we'll never know exactly where he came from , or why he did what he did , and where he's going .. :)
-
Thank you both, oldguy and BL.
I find it interesting and do consider the big rivers important on his journey both coming south and north.
Just have to add, the Big Red is too treacherous at some points in the season and the area...I hope he does have that instinct...as I assume he must!
We shall all have to see!
-
All on the same page we see. :-*
-
Lani - Thanks for the Royal update. Very interesting about the candling. Thanks for letting us know the Seal cam is live. Safe travels for Mike. :)
tsk - Glad to hear that Tim has arrived home safely. Why are things not open on a M T W? Is it like a tourist town?
kb - Glad to hear that you and Ollie got a lil walk in today.
BL - Beautiful church
oldguy - Glad you got some help on the snow removal.
Phyl - Hope you got a good report at the docs.
Good night, everyone

Hi Beakers!
scattered showers today - 50 deg.
Clynn - I bet you & the Munchkins had a great time together. So nice that Erin & DIL help you with things that need to get done!! Good for Erin making a little $$ on the side with your neighbors! :)
Just saw the snow pictures - lots! ::) Darling pics of Sydney, Bella & kittens! Like the fun pic of Talon & Bella in the snow!
Phyl - Kris had finished his 'project' in one day! We had squeeky box springs on our Cal-King bed and finally he decided to 'fix' the problem! We are so happy and comfortable with our quiet bed now! The wood and hardware had cost about $145.00, and it was well worth it!
Thank you for links!
Lani - Safe travels for Mike! I think you said he will be back on Friday?? Scary to be traveling in all this winter weather! Thank you for Albatross updates. Great picture of LGK!
Kb - Your orchid is doing really well! :) Just watched the horsie & doggie vid - so precious!!!! :-* :-*
Bl - Good that you & Pip live on high ground. Always nice when you don't lose power! :) Thanks for posting the flood advisory / interesting map & data of flooding - very amazing.
Beautiful old stone church and the cemetery grounds look so lovely. Your parents & brother {{BL}} So nice of you to share this about your family. Nice that folks who visit can sit on that special bench and reflect.
Tsk - Glad Tim is back home now! :)
Og - So happy that you got help with the snow removal!! It sounds like the boy will help you again on Friday!! That's great!
Hi Karen, Puff, Baz, Lori, Tig :)
We had a wonderful evening with Kris' sister & her fiance, and stayed up until midnight!! They left around 12:30 pm today and it should probably take about 3 1/2 - 4 hrs to arrive in Napa. We didn't ask if they've set a wedding date yet!
-
KB Didn't quite understand . When you went to the Comcast store to return your cable box - a robot? How sweet was that the horse and dog companions. :-*
BL I travelled a lot with a girlfriend for many years and one of our favorite things when hiking or the like was to go through old cemeteries. You can get a lot of cool pics in them. This is so cool that your parents/brother are buried at this historic site. Thanks for sharing the pics.
OLDGUY What Maru doesn't go through to fit in a box :o Penny in that crocheted hat LOL Yay for your 10 yr old helper. ;) How did you like your new electric shovel? Snow too heavy for it???
LISA The Door County peninsula is a very touristy place in season. In the winter many stores and restaurants will stay open for the long weekends Th - Sunday for those who like to use the parks for cross country skiing or hiking or who just like to be up there in the winter when it is SO quiet and you can cross the main drag without even looking for any cars LOL
-
tsk - sorry, let me clarify. A real human acted like a "robot"...wouldn't make eye contact. Made me take the boxes out of my paper sack, never spoke. Made me ask for a receipt. His first words then: then show me some id..got the receipt.
Otherwise, sometimes they try to charge you for them...always ask for a receipt.

Hey Ralph where the heck are you going ?
I have always been a fond proponent of going for just a walk.

Tsk, glad Tim is home. :) ... Mike is in Houston. He's giving a presentation to several people tomorrow, including a couple of men from Mexico. He's also looking at land for a possible new company outside of Houston.
BL, thanks for Rutt update... How interesting and special to learn about The Old Stone Church, it's rich history in our country's life. And a special peaceful place where your parents and brother are buried. Thank you {{{BL}}} :)... Ralph ;D
Kb, awww sweet pup and horse. I'd love to know their story.
Oldguy, you just get the snow cleaned up and here comes another storm.... Miri is growing more and more into a Maru 2.... Take care.
Kb, BL, thanks for keeping us updated on Rutt. I want to know he's settled in a territory he can call his own. :-*
BL, Gordon Lightfoot to close out the night. 8)
Eagles, glad you had a nice visit with your SIL and her fiance. Safe travels for them.
Good night!

When Cigarette Companies Used Doctors to Push Smoking
Before studies showed that cigarettes caused cancer, tobacco companies recruited the medical community for their ads.
Sixty years ago, on January 24, 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General announced a definitive link between smoking and cancer. Before then, tobacco companies regularly recruited the medical community for their ads.

Good Morning! As Robin would say, Piper and I were up at dark thirty this morning! Still drinking coffee, cuddled in a sweatshirt lounger! Phyl, your temps today are about like ours! Sounds like most of us need to get our seat belts on for the next few days! Tsk, Lake Michigan warm temps may save you from too much lasting snow! Not sure about Puff! Old Guy, take it easy with this wet, heavy stuff! We depend on you for too much info!
Bl, very nice story about your family home! Fun , historic area full of beauty and lovely resting place at the olds tone church. Like Tsk, I have been known to wander through cemeteries, reading headstones! Find some interesting things!
Todays excitement brings a trip to the internist! Have not been for 6 months and this blood work will not be as good as the last spectacular results! Too much Thanksgiving and Christmas! Phyl, how was your visit to the ent?
Kb, with all the grease, you need a case on Easy Off!

Lani, wow, Mike is opening another plant! Good luck for his presentation today! Thanks for theupdate on the Albies! We just wait now for those eggs to start hatching... ;D That good night cat, what a sleeping position!
BL, beautiful old church, and such a history! New England is so full of history, I remember walking through the old streets of Fredericksburg MD, all the historic buildings and the history that happened there. Have been to Gettysburg, I can't explain the feeling... There were stores in Fredericksburg that were used as hospitals during the Civil War, and all the old graveyards... I could spend a long time there. And in that church and the graveyard ...

Love the Barker... they are into lots of salute horns at the bridge.
Looks like we will get some snow tomorrow after all.
I'm getting the car serviced this morning.

Holy Moley!...I see something blue when I look up and also a big yellow ball up there!
It's been a very dreary cloudy winter here to date...
Too bad it's getting so cold out....but at least it's nicer to look out my window.
Was starting to feel like I accidentally moved somewhere else, er um, like Seattle.
Morning all.

Our 6-9" snowfall will begin after midnight tonight. Like KAREN Living about 17 miles from the Lake may spare us a bit. We shall see.
KAREN Good luck with 6 mo. check-up :)
CLYNN Funny sheep. ;D Yes my main goals for January are done. Wall to wall bookshelf in office and Quick Shined my wood floors. Also emptied ( of moveable things) mud room/laundry and swept, swiffered and washed the floor twice! The kind of job no one really sees. ::) ::) Now updating handouts my ministry uses for our clients. So hard to even look at those old cigarette commercials! Cool pic of the Mark Barker stealing its way into port....
LISA I like the chocolate chip part of that cocoa ;) ;)
LANI How sweet - Moose and Elmo in the gym catching a snuggle.
LORI GREAT wintry posts this AM . Will be us tomorrow. ::)
5 miles from me is a lake - I think man made and stocked. On FB yesterday someone posted a pic of an eagle grabbing a fish out of the lake - I'm tempted to go sit there for a few hours LOLOL

Lani,Clynn, Oldguy, tsk, Lisa, tig, kbs, phyl, e4e, Karen, Puff & ALL,
Thank you so much for my beautiful birthday wishes, emails, cards in the mail & cards online and yummy cakes, I even got 2 Acura's! Thanks for the teggy oldguy. Lani the post was so cute of the dog & squirrel the other day. Puff I am so proud to be one of the Birthday Sisters :) OMG 1 out of 5 cats don’t care its your birthday, ok 5 out of 5 but I do! lol. Great minds think alike & have the same birthday! Karen, waving back at you! BTW, I sent you something in the mail & it got returned yesterday! Will email you about that. Clynn, you were a very good friend to Kay, I’m bet you miss her. Destini says thank you ALL for the pats on head & kisses from fur babies & beakers! Dad made me a jelly roll cake for my birthday, it actually turned out pretty good! Grandma is still hanging in there... now they want to cancel her medicaid due to some "check" that was cashed in the previous 5 years. Sounds bogus. If they even think about moving her right now they will get an earful from me. I did find out from legal that “if” there actually was a check that her benefits could be discontinued for 7 days. They are getting her home they made that clear, but dang, Grandma is alive and shouldn’t they be focusing on selling her home “after”” she makes that journey to heaven? Enough on that... ::) :-\
Trying my best to focus lately… I started this message on Monday! I hope all of you are safe in these storms, we lost power for awhile and lots of shoveling! Thank you again for making my day very special! Your friendship means everything to me!! ;D
Hugs, love and prayers and stay safe! Miss ya Lani, Tig, Clynn, Tsk, Oldguy, Lisa, E4E, KB, Bazi, pink, Blschue, T40, Lilbro, BrokenLug, Nora, Jaspurr, Phyliz, EBURG, Karen, Jilltosa, Peep, Puff, Ssrl, Mass, Ezee, MpMom, Godiva, Ginger, Oma, Weasel, Maxie, Lindy, Nanimal, Emyrauld, Nrstooge, Ruby, Paulie, F22Raptor, the Cheers group & ALL of you special eagle lovers!

We finally got some snow a couple of days ago. And with it came the cold. It is presently -34C with a windchill factor of -49C. This cheery note came today from a comedian some have come to call Canada’s dad.

On a more positive note, my nose indicates I am healthy.

LISA Thanks for the nice catch up note. Kudos to Dad for your jelly roll cake - I think they are hard to make. Hope Grandma's situation gets resolved.. ???
KB How impressive was that ellie rescue. Kleenix is right. That little baby wanting Mama to get up.
BL Massive storm.
EMY LOL " Welcome to January" Our single digit cold weather starts Sunday after the storm... Hope you are hunkering down - a nose is a good indicator LOL

Hello Beakers
An update on the weather here...
Because of the amount/heavy wet snow, there was some differences in the amount from Tuesday's storm. I measured 13 on my deck, which was on the backside of the house of the prevailing wind. The newspaper reported 15 inches for Iowa City and the local radio station reported 18 inches. I do not every remember seeing snow firmly packed on the side of the deck corner posts before, to the point of more snow than wood on a 4x4.
Tonight's storm is expected to start about 9pm. Both Underground weather and NWS is forecasting about 8-9 inches by tomorrow night. Currently 20 degrees and forecast of 31 at midday tomorrow. I will have to wait and see how wet the snow will be then - but tonight's snow should be light and fluffy.
My power shovel did not work well with the heavy wet snow, but did fine with this mornings surprise 1 in. of light snow. (was not in the forecast)
At work today - by noon we had NO snow blowers in stock. When I left at 3pm we had about 30 snow shovels left. We was selling ice melt at the rate of 2-3 pallets per hour. 3 people spent the whole time keeping ice melt and shovels stocked. We have emergency orders in for all of this, but can not get an ETA because of the weather forecast.

some bounce
We needed to get a new car battery. Luckily it was under partial warranty. And a tire needed a patch.
We will be getting 3 inches or so of fluff and cold. I should be able to get to the pool before it arrives in the morning.

Lori, wonderful cheery wintery posts! Love the duck and penguin gifs... awww your dad is wonderful to make you a jelly roll cake ... I'm sorry for the continuing issues for your dear grandma. :(
Tsk, You've been so busy, you should go and sit by the lake sometime... We have a stocked lake here too, and a pair of eagles have been fishing for meals for years. I've never seen them. Aly's office was across the lake, and she's seen them twice. Go, sit (in the car, says Karen ;D) , take a lunch, a book and enjoy the day. :)
Kb, so glad the mom and baby ellies were rescued. Baby helped to wake mom.
SED Eagles, Puff, Baz, Phyl, Clynn
BL, Massive storm clouds and over Oregon too. :(
T40 thanks for the link on the on the bomb cyclone and polar vortex.
Emy, "Welcome to January" LOL... terribly low temps... Keep warm and please take care.
Oldguy, Thanks for the links... Iceland update... Maru melting in the box. ;D. ... the QKids, love Bellamy. ;D ... take care tomorrow.
{{{Karen}}} good results... you and Piper have a good rest tonight.
Good night from Taiaroa Head, New Zealand

Good Morning Everyone...TGIF !

Currently 48F High 57F sunny, Low 21F
What a day yesterday! Maggie barfed in all but every room of the house, leaving blotches and trails ...kitchen not so bad. Livingroom, stairs , our bedroom ---wingback with fitted slipcover and cedar chest---do you have any idea what cat barf does to wood finish? ::) From there the spare room (computer, study). My fault as I didn't think to add a smaller dish to tilt her food dish. There was no problem with the water though. Well now I know!
All that and chores too---I was worn out by dinner. Afterwards, still up as Jim wanted some 'research' on something. I need a nap and I just got up!
CLynn this is your 'big day' with doc...wishing you the best!!
BBL
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Well, the Dr's office called yesterday, the doc I was to see this morning will not be in today so re-scheduled for Thursday. They promised to call me if they had any cancellations. Can't blame him, we are getting another blizzard today! Windy and very low temps.
Phyl, pretty 365. Puzzling tracks, do wolves actually walk on all fours in a straight line? Wow! And the raised tracks at the end? Oh poor Maggie, she didn't know what to do! The kittens are still up in our bedroom, Harley is here beside me. We take the kittens up to our room for the night so Harley can have some time on the main floor Soon he will be sent to the Mole Hole to be with Ed (which he loves) and we will bring the kittens down. We haven't really put them together yet, we are trying to get Harley used to the scent of the kittens. I think they are too small yet for a confrontation. He is a big cat!
Lani, love the picture of the Alby at sunrise... Freezing rain and snow in Corvallis, OR tonight. 211 miles from Corvallis to Medford...
karen, my regular Dr put me on a statin, this one is also supposed to lower risk of heart issues. I don't like being on a statin either.
oldguy, glad I have a snowblower already! And plenty of Snow Melt. It was always $6.99 for the shaker jug at our grocery store, even last winter. I got one earlier this week, it was $9.99. The Des Moines airport said 11.5" of snow Tuesday. Predicting around 8" for today. Wow, 3 people just to keep the snow shovels and ice melt on the floor!
tsk, well, now that you are done with your January to do list do you just get to lounge around and eat bonbons? ;D ;D I don't think you could! Sounds like a good way to relax, watching for eagles on a lake...
Lori, I hope you are able to get your Grandma's situation straightened out! Sometimes I am amazed at the little things that get attention when so much fraud is going on that they can't seem to control. How is Destini doing these days, has she had a spa visit lately?
Emy, brrrr... Do take care, I remember similar but not quite as extreme days when we lived in Duluth. And I was a kid with no cares!
Got to go get Kelsey up, she is usually up at 6:30!

GOOD MORNING
Our first real winter event has arrived. Can hardly see across the street. Schools closed and businesses in town. YIKES
Will come in two phases supposedly
OLDGUY Your storm has hit my back yard but will have no where near the numbers you have accumulated!!! WOW
Volcano update :o
KAREN It is Beck Lake - part of the Forest Preserve system. It is very close to the Golf road exit on 294 south I saw an oriole nest there - my first - a couple years ago. Good cholesterol. Doc told me I would never get off my statin.
LANI It is on my list to sit at Beck Lake - but not today LOLOL
PHYL Yes I know what cat barf does to wood finish!! Poor Maggie. Hope today is a better one. Good 365
CLYNN Stay safe and cozy today. I suspect the kids schools are closed? Dang what timing for your eye appt. :(

Oh you scare me baby mountain lion!.....too cute.
Scary weather for many here...take care.
Eagles4 - Yah!....my watch charged itself sitting in the "low in the sky" sun....it's been running for over 12 hours now and only about 5 minutes late....the next sunny day I'll do the same for a longer time frame.
It's a relatively old (by today's standards) citizen eco drive watch...with crystals. I love it as Scott bought it for me with a matching bracelet about 18 years ago now...I'd be lost if it stopped working...I've lost many pieces of jewelry gardening (other bracelets and even a necklace) but not these two. Great locking systems on them.

Good Morning Beakers....Happy Friday!

Phyl - So sorry that Maggie was having a bad day, and you had alot of clean up. :(
Thanks for the 365.
clynn - I hope you can get a cancellation appointment before next Thursday, fingers crossed.
tsk - One of my friends, who has a cousin who lives in Vernon Hills, IL, sent me a text of the snow they were getting. I can imagine yours must looks about the same.
kb - I have always loved Citizen watches. Cute baby mountain lion.

{{{Karen}}} good lab results...
Lani lovely sunset at Taiaroa Head, New Zealand
Lisa/Karen/Tsk the fracture is healed And has left me with a tiny, tiny bony 'bump' on the bridge of my nose. ENT wants to break my nose, again, and 'remove' the 'bump'. Oh, I don't know about that right now. Maybe not good idea not to wait though? Otherwise, my nose and I can get on like before the fracture. Doc knows it keeps hurting.
CLynn hopefully you're appt will be earler in the week; Brrrrrr! for you folks. Jim was later for work---an hour, then this rain, I haven't heard . Think I'll call him after 10am as he's suppose to be at lunch.
OG Thanks for links; Iceland update; Q-Kids
Emy Brrrr! Keep warm , take care
Bazi What 'ya doing?
T40 thanks for info on bomb cyclone /polar vortex.
KB quite adorable bobcat kit practicing hit's roar :-* :-* :-*; good luck with the atomic watch. I never wear jewelery while working in garden and what all. Perhaps, you'll find it all one day or can get the items repaired whichever the case.
BLWeather reports show everyone in US getting hit with 'this' mess; next week we get snowfall...Jim wearing his parka at work as he's out in this all day being 'nice to the customers' The South isn't suppose to get SNOW
But, right now, 47F with heavy rain, lightening, thunder and dear old Mother Nature rolling around in her bed. The high forecast is 58F with Thunder storms. And
Tonight a low of 27F.

We finally got some snow a couple of days ago. And with it came the cold. It is presently -34C with a windchill factor of -49C. This cheery note came today from a comedian some have come to call Canada’s dad.
https://youtu.be/uQ5vL-zQtcw?si=V8jnD71LC871dGxC
On a more positive note, my nose indicates I am healthy.
Yikes Emyrauld. You do take care in those kind of temps. :o :o

Good Morning!
Rain supposed to start here soon and continue off and on all day until z5 or 6 pm. Temps now in the 40s and will increase all day until it is 70 degrees at dinner time! This looks like the end of our good temps for the near future and soon our first freezing weather! I do miss the beautiful snows in Chicago and in North carolina. The quiet white covering the ground and making lacy patterns on the trees is breathtaking! Do not miss removing it or the dirty piles taking up half of the store parking lots! Every place in the world has its charm!
Clynn, sorry about your issues in getting to tje doctor! Hope the next appointment is a go!
Had a wrist rebroken as a kid. Phyl.
Tsk, interesting about the little lake! Wonder if you live in Golf if tge eagles visit your back yard! Love that little town. Do not get out and do too much heavy work!
A former co workers mother lived in Duluth and got up every. Two hours, during the night, to shovel snow so she could get out in the morning! Finally moved!
My friend in Springfield has a solar watch and it charges in daylight or in house lights! Sun not required!
Lisa, my step mother lived just north of Vernon Hills! When I grew up that area was almost all farm land. Except for the area along the lake! Crowded now! All take care and stay warm! Phyl, what was tge result of Jims appointment!
-
Phyl - since I've been gardening front and back long since I lost my jewelry, I'm pretty sure where they ended up. In the lawn care bucket...I pick up loads of leaves and perennials and such and drop it in buckets or large cans...
Makes me wonder if one took a metal detector to the lawn care landfill what one might find!..but who knows, would be fun to find something in my yard yet.
A very long article but easy read....esp. as they have diagrams of the train that moves as it derailed in PA.
By ProPublica....not everything I read from them do I agree with, but this one seems obvious. Too long of trains with heaviest in the back and manual brakes on hills in the front!....what?...For those who want to understand the recent in time train derailment issue.
I gotta read while I clean for probably the next 10 days so...ha.
https://www.propublica.org/article/train-derailment-long-trains

KB Good news - your sentimental watch woke up ;D Can you imagine living that close to a derailment?
LISA Vernon Hills is about 21 miles north of me. I think we are at the southern end of this as Wisconsin will be buried as I noticed on the Weather Channel this morning.
PHYL I didn't have to look up the Blue footed booby ;D. Love that name ;D If the bump is tiny tiny than I would leave it. Esp if it doesn't interfere with breathing or cause pain. Noticed that most of those major storms happened in the NY area!!
BL WOW for EMY those temps are in F.
Snow had stopped about an hour ago so went out and snowblowed 4" which is a good amount for our Toro snowblower. It is heavy and wet. I think we are getting round 2 later. Will check the weather. I do believe Wisc will be buried.
Just listened to the weather - This is it for now. Only 1-3" more tonight.
-
Phyl - Oh, I cannot even imagine the pain and recovery of having the nose broke again. I am sure you will make the right decision on what to do. ((hugs))
karen - You be safe with the rain headed your way.
tsk - I was wondering how close that was to you. Yikes on Wisconsin!
-
Winter Storm HEATHER.
As for what the storm will actually bring to parts of the South and East, here's what we know:
Snow and ice could spread into the Southern Plains beginning Sunday or Sunday night, then into the mid-South on Monday.
Some snow from this system might then spread into the East on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Details are still highly uncertain since there are questions about the track of the system as well as how much moisture will be available in order to produce any snow or ice in all of the above-mentioned areas.
Check back to weather.com for more details in the coming days.
Here's the one I'll be keeping an eye on once Gerri is done having his way with the USA. ::)

BL I'm enjoying all your weather updates... ;D

Some very unusual weather occurring across the country at this time.
Every single State in the country has some type of weather Advisory, Watch or Warning in some part of the State .. :o

Lani - I didn't realize you lived near a lake! That must be really nice. :) Safe travels for Mike.
Phyl - Awe, that is sad Maggie was sick to her tummy yesterday - I hope today is a bit better. So sorry for all the cleaning up you had to do. You deserve a nap!
Thank you for 365-those wolf tracks! Just read what the doctor said about your nose. That is a tough decision. {{Phyl}}
Clynn - I see your eye appt is postponed until next Thursday - hopefully the weather gets a bit better. Take care {{Clynn}} :-*
Kb - Cute baby mt lion this a.m.! Maybe one of these days during summer, you can get a hold of a metal detector and see if you can find some of your lost jewelry out in your yard! :) I sure hope you never lose anything Scott gave you!
I posted the above message message before reading what you've just said about putting your loads of leaves and stuff into buckets and it being taken to the Landfill! I still think you could find something in your yard!! :)
Tsk - Take care with all that snow in your area. I know I've mentioned it already, but I nearly always watch Al Roker on the Today Show with his weather report! Hope Tim isn't having to drive in that everyday?!
Hi LisaG, Lori, Baz :)
Beakers take care - be safe & warm.

Not that anyone in the middle of the country isn't aware of the arctic blast that's coming or already here but ...
Put your best warm gear on if you have to go outside. 8)
These are morning low temperatures (ambient not wind chill) in F°. Brrrr...
That is a whole lot of USA real estate in the - F° to single digits. Bundle up buttercup. :P

bounce
The pool was a nice 85 degrees and I did not need to go early. The snow was being held off by the cold, dry air over us. We went to a movie at 12:30. When we came out around 2:45 there was light snow.
Home safe and warm.

Ha, my nephew is now ice fishing on Pelican Lake MN....with 2 other friends. Current temp is 2 above not counting wind chill.

My high school friend Frank was playing football on his parent's large property just after his high school graduation.
When he went to throw the football his just received graduation ring went sailing off with the ball.
He figured he'd just walk the course of the ball and pick it up.
Many people for many days searched high and low for it to no avail including me.
-30 something years later - Frank and I borrowed another friends pretty high end metal detector.
The property had been through a few owners after his parents sold it by then.
We knocked on the door of the present owners and explained the story and what we wanted to try do.
An hour or 2 of walking a grid in the area he remembered throwing the ball -beep-beep-buzz-buzz-
You Know That No Way Look.
Dug out 2 inches under the grass lawn it was reunited with Frank B. the III. :)
We thanked the homeowner for letting us look and letting us retrieve the ring. No lawn damage of course. 8)
They were so happy for him that they broke out las cervezas and invited us to their barbecue on the deck Frank's father had built. 8) 8)

As the hook it mantra goes may your nephews Muskie fit thru his ice hole. ;)
In my ice fishing experience the best thing ever caught in one is a really cold morning hangover. ;) ;)

Scott (my Scott) caught his big muskie through the ice on Rush Lake, MN....at the time it was the state record.
I don't know how to do the maps you guys did, LOL.
My sis says my nephew Scott is happy to catch a Northern or Walleye through the ice as he likes to cook.
They are staying till Sunday. It just surprised me how fancy it all seemed to me when she spoke about it! I didn't know one could rent an ice house.
My shed at the bottom of my hill in back is one of Scott's fish houses....so he did have 4 walls at times!
I don't know if he did when he caught the big one or not as I didn't know him then. But if I recall from his story he threw it out I think of a door so must have. Maybe that shed is the one? He had 5 on lakes at one time he said. Most were portables. I never ice fished myself so I don't know for sure, other than that Muskie on my wall and pics I have of him catching fish through the ice.
After we married he never went hunting or fishing again. I know I know, don't say it....whatever it is they say. It was on him not because of me. He became a real homebody...even more than I needed, LOL
Whatever it's darn cold today although no snow at Breezy point that I can tell.
I'm sure a memory those guys will have forever.

BL - Snow Swath? I have never heard that term before, and it looks like I am in it.
E4E - :)
tig - Oh, 85° pool sounds wonderful. What movie did you see?
Have a good night, everyone :)

BL The earlier map had every state with A.W.W :o :o What a story about the metal detector!!
EAGLES Cute gif this afternoon. ;D Tim seldom ever has to go out. He just likes to LOLOL
BL Yes we will be in the deep freeze for a few days. Then when we warm up to the 30's we can put our shorts on LOLOL
TIG What movie?
KB I just googled Ice fishing house - WOW comforts of home LOL Take notes from BL's experience ;D ;D Scott smiling down on Scott - ;D

This is where we fished for some 20 years, but only Spring or Fall :P

Ok now that's really cool campesrtig. 8)
That is at least the 7th Lake Minnewaska I know of .. it being right next to your Pelican Lake in MN is way cool.
There's one up the road from us in NY with the same name and spelling.
An absolute riot in the Fall.
Minnewaska roughly means.
The word is believed to derive from two words, “mini” or “mine,” meaning “water,” and “waste,” meaning “good,” from the language of the Dakota (Sioux) nation, which was not local to the Hudson Valley region.

This is getting silly. According to this Mastodon post, flights are being cancelled because it is too cold to de-ice the planes. And to top it off we have a power grid warning to reduce electricity because 2 gas generators are down. I will be fine…but could be seriously inconvenienced if this keeps up for any length of time. We had the warmest December ever, I need to accept this cold spell gracefully.
-
Emyrauld I sure hope you have there an "off the grid" alternative heat source ?

Scott (my Scott) caught his big muskie through the ice on Rush Lake, MN....at the time it was the state record.
I don't know how to do the maps you guys did, LOL.
My sis says my nephew Scott is happy to catch a Northern or Walleye through the ice as he likes to cook.
They are staying till Sunday. It just surprised me how fancy it all seemed to me when she spoke about it! I didn't know one could rent an ice house.

Again younger bones. Whiskey involved. How old is your nephew kb ?
No matter.
I want to shoot you a cool topo map image of Rush Lake, MN.
As camperstig pointed out there is more than just one however ?
How many lakes are you folks up to now ?
-
My nephew is a year older than my son. He'll be 37 in June.
He has a wife and not yet 1 year old daughter shivering with a lot more snow than we got up here in
Rochester MN....yep, he's up north having "fun" in the cold ice fishing and she's at home hopefully not having to go anywhere.
Actually my nephew Scott grew up fishing, hunting, golfing, cross country skiing etc. etc..
But now he's a Doctor of Pharmacy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester mostly now teaching interns..
So I think he may have gotten soft....LOL
-
Karen Jim is on Augmentin, Methyl prednisone Z pak and some tiny gel cap for cough. He's never had temp and is Covid free. Another 'bout of pneumonia.
Tsk/Lisa ;)
KB jewelry---got it. Dr. of Pharmacology @ Mayo Clinic ;)
BL tks for the extra info and all. I'll digest it later. ;)
Emy glad you;ll be fine. But do take extra care one just never knows.

BL: the system regulator is preparing to bring the reserve supply on stream, and if worse came to pass they would resort to rolling black outs where we would a be without power for a couple of hours at a time. Personally, we have a small gas fireplace upstairs, lots of warm clothing. Tricks we can use include filling up the bathtub and sinks with hot water and make sure the curtains and blinds are all fully closed. If anything gives us trouble its the furnace. Our usual goto is turning on the ovens and opening the oven doors. With them being electric ovens that could be a challenge.
We got the gas fireplace after the furnace conked out at close to minus -40 anout 5 or 6 years ago. With our first cold spell not coming until mid January, we can rejoice in that it is only a few months until spring
-
Only because I book trips there, I get Steamboat selling helps. So far this season they've had 14 feet of snow - with a promise this weekend for 50" more. So now we hear from another winter group of diehards.
Again, from this mountain gal - never downhill skied. Most CO natives do cross country. It's a lot more enjoyable leisurely doing winter hiking (aka cross country) then you get to see/watch the beauty, magnificence of the surroundings.
Love the promo ads they send us to pump up and share the grandeur.

KB - which Pelican? There are 5... ::)
camperstig the one where it's 2 degrees in MN. :P
https://tinyurl.com/yvjhvnuq
I've been in some ice fishing huts on skids over the years that would make a worthy north woods cabin cry uncle to the "coziness" of it all. :)
kb cool cool. And BTW Scott is smiling from his grave. :-*
As the hook it mantra goes may your nephews Muskie fit thru his ice hole. ;)
In my ice fishing experience the best thing ever caught in one is a really cold morning hangover. ;) ;)
What a great pic! Looks like a fun day for all! It would make a great puzzle! ;D

{{{Phyl}}} I hope {{{Maggie}}} feels better this evening.... "Wolf tracks" in nature video. We like to look at the different animal tracks after a snow storm. A few large ones we take photos and check online.... just thinking about having your nose broken again, makes my eyes water and nose hurt. :-\ ... I remember a few pretty big Kansas snow storms that did some damage and 3 or 4 feet high of snow... interesting about the bears.
Clynn, sorry to see your doctor appt was rescheduled to next week because of the snow, I hope you can get an earlier appt. :( ... I checked Medford weather and ten days of rain, rain, rain. :( ... stay warm and safe. :)
Tsk, No, this week is not the week to sit by the lake looking for eagles. ;D... You, Tim and Lulu stay warm and safe...
Kb, look at those paws on the baby Mountain Lion! ;D... Citizens watches are gorgeous... Often watched the long trains go through Kansas and thought about the dangers.... Scott smiling down on Scott ;D
Hi Lisa :)
BL, YIKES the temps in Canada! ... thanks for your updates.... The weather looks clear and may be warmer for the next ten days. Why aren't we getting the storm that's over Oregon and north of us? We need the moisture.... I just saw another update with maps from you. Thanks...
Eagles, Payson has a small lake, its in the old main area of the original town. In the winter, Geese, assorted ducks, swans live along the lake. The residents protect them, because of the coyotes, bob cats.... We have lots of streams and small rivers throughout our area and throughout. Lots of trout and bass fishing. Theodore Roosevelt Lake is less than an hour away to the south of us part of Tonto National Forest. Wonderful lake, beautiful area with eagles, hawks, GBH, so many wild birds.... fishing, boating, camping, etc...
Tig, Beautiful lake ... thanks BL.
{{{Emy}}}, Please take care and keep warm... do you have another heat source? ... I just read your last post of what you do to keep warm..... I'm shivering right now. Sending hugs and warm thoughts. :-*
Puff, we have many wonderful memories of Colorado winter trips with the girls.
Good night!

Lani. it’s on,y what we will do if the power goes out. The furnace is gas fired but it needs power to operate, probably for the fan and controls. We just work to keep the pipes from freezing when there is no heat. We have had plenty of cold snaps, and although this one iis a doozy it’s not a record and both my children are close by. if we ran into trouble there would be someone to help. I don”t think there are many other sources of heat if we lose power, but we are a ways from that yet. I have tried many things over the years. I even bought a pair of battery heated socks for a football game once in my mad youth. They didn’t help much. The batteries froze. We just hunker down and wait it out.

Emy, Mike bought battery heated socks in his youth. Didn't work! ;D ... I remembered we let the water run so the pipes wouldn't freeze.... I think your cold front is making up for December. Glad your children are close by. :)
BL, my downhill ski days I could count on five fingers maybe more. I watched from safe distance... I was meant for the ocean sports only, Pacific ;D
I had a busy day, my mind won't rest. Good night again. :)

I'll share an arctic blast post from the past 2020.
Tuesday night was the worst. It got to -40?C here (-50?C wind chill factor - - that is -58? American). I was worried the pipes would freeze or the furnace would just give up and quit trying, but everything went well and I worried for nothing. It is slowly warming up. And by early next week we will be back to normal.
That is down right dangerously cold by anyone's standard Emyrauld.
- BL side - ambient air temperature -40 c = -40 f in an unusual C to F conversion.
I've been outside in that exact temperature exactly 4 times in my life.
4 out of the 4 is was not snowing. You know why - it was to cold to snow. It's a thing. look it up.
Now doesn't that just warm everyone right the heck up. ;)
I looked at the temp data from a weather station near you Emy.
That was a pretty darn cold week even by Edmonton, AB standards.
I've been to both McMurdo Station and the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica in the 'summer' (Oct-Feb).
It got down to ambient -55c (-67f ) early one morning in late Oct of 1985 at the south pole dome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amundsen%E2%80%93Scott_South_Pole_Station#Dome_(1975%E2%80%932003)) as I recall.
The wind chill that night was some ridiculously cold non-human temperature.
No one was allowed out of the dome for 2 days because a ground blizzard was raging.
The south pole is a very dry and high (9,300 ft) white snow desert. It rarely snows there, but the snow that has fallen for millennium's is there, when the wind really blows (and it does often) oh' boy look out or not at all 6" from your goggles.
I don't really remember the exact wind chill value and it doesn't really matter.
When ones nose ceases to exist and your eyeballs start to squeak in their sockets it's time to be inside of 4 walls. ;D
Stay Toasty my friends.

Had the KIA serviced yesterday and Jim forgot my credit card to pay for the work! So up a bit early and posting to run down to dealership and remit.
I'm stunned that they let him take the car w/o paying. But, guess they figured it was a Catch-22. ;)
Besides, they 'know where I live." LOL

Thank goodness yesterday is over! Wicked wind and snow! 4 right now, high today is 5, low tonight will be -16. This too shall pass.... ;D
oldguy, I felt really bad for Erin and Sydney, they were here around 4:30 to clear driveways. They have five regular customers around us and they got an extra one while they were here! They brought their snowblower so they would have two. Sydney did all the sidewalks while Erin did the driveways. Erin waited until the snow stopped to come, but it was blowing so much! They did all in about 2 hours. Love the Mama Cat Song! Cute robot cast feeder!
BL, enjoy reading your stories, incredible story of the class ring, and WOW to Antarctica! I agree, the wind chill doesn't matter much when the temp is -55!
Lani, I would also choose the ocean, although I remember the thrill of flying through the woods on a snowmobile! I think we see things a lot differently when we are young... I also looked at the map, looks like BIG rain and even some snow coming to Oregon:
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/32/31/d2/3231d2c73dcf848e80d7a96c276fa785.jpg)
Emy, you are a true veteran of the wicked winter weather, sounds like you have experienced many trials and tribulations! And yet you don't complain! (because it doesn't help... ;D)
Phyl, and there is Bob! See Harley below, he is a distant relative of Bob's! Glad Jim is getting meds, hope they work quickly. Sometimes we just sit and ponder, what's going to happen next? Sometimes seems like there is always something... Great 365 of the wolves, love seeing they kind of snuggling at the end!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
BL Thanks for the translation of the Sioux Minnewaska. Wow what an experience at the south pole - in those "warm summer temps" :o
EMY Boy, that is a serious situation. Do you keep all your windows curtained/blinded? I've never been in weather that cold...Be safe. Reading on I see you are doing all the right things. Gas fireplace is a plus! You are well experienced with the cold, for sure. Good to hear your kids are nearby. LOL " batteries froze"
PUFF I really enjoyed cross country when I did it.
LANI Your good night kitty looks so soft. ;) Hope your brain got a rest last night - I can sympathize LOL
OLDGUY Lulu happened to be on my lap when the robot brought the kitty food - Boy did she stare that one down ;D
Wonderful piece that Mom Clark wrote about 14 yr old Cash Good Santi video " Porthos" ;D
PHYL Funny AM kitty . Jim should be better in no time :-*
CLYNN Cute cat snowman retreat ;) Think EMY would be thrilled to get our -16 :o (((Erin/ Sidney))) Love when they turn warehouses into something else vs tearing down. That's what they are doing to the old Chicago post office - huge facility.
-
Phyl BPPV????
Lani Now snowmobiling is something I have done. Great 3-4 days in Yellowstone. Town, accommodations, and rental just outside the park. They close most of all roads. Went twice, both times lucky: clear skies, low wind, obviously non-describable beauty, lots of bison.
Try to picture this . . . First time there it was an awesome scene. River with white swans, quiet, very quiet, with the black stems of the aspen trees against the pure white of the fresh snow. Then came the realization of the black trees - It was the winter after the huge fire that claimed so much of the vegetation and trees. It was sad. But in the end it created a fantastic regrowth of the trees the next time we went. If you get the urge, contact me.
OK - I HAVE to feed my birds!!! Won't make all the stops, but things are empty!!!! It's in the 20's, slight wind, I'm planning a safe route, my friend Stick, ground should be frozen and hard for pulling my mini Radio Flyer of goodies. But first I have to bundle me. ;D Zero and minus is at hand. Good reminder about opening cabinets for tonight.
Later!

Cat discovers new tatoo.....cause it's Caturday.
Good freezing Saturday morning all.
I have an instacart and amazon delivery today so am going to bundle up and sweep the snow off driveway and then might as well do the back decks as I surely won't want to in the next few even colder days.
I hear no snow west of Highway 169. I'm east of that highway...so, no snow fro ssrl and my sister.
Tig - assume that means you did but maybe not as you are north?

bbrrrrrounce
KB.. it looks like we got about an inch to 1.5. I'm glad the wind blew a lot off the roof. Will need to assess maybe Wednesday. Will run a path down the sidewalk as we have an event to attend this afternoon.
BL... 11, 842 lakes of 10 acres or more. Back in 1962 a survey found over 15k lake basins, but a good number were dry.

clynn - Love the old warehouse/new apartments. The college that Bradley went to in Savannah, GA - Savannah College of Art & Design, they did that with alot of the old building around Savannah. They would make them into dorms, classroom buildings, etc. Erin & Sydney are great kids!

I'm in and done both decks and driveway. It actually wasn't broomable!..had to shovel first and then broom. But was not heavy..have no idea how much we got with all the wind. Shoveable though.

Anyone out there with tats ever had that reaction?
My quesstimate is 10 inches of snow Thursday night to this morning. Haven't been hanging out with weather people, but walking across yard this a.m., that was about it in my area. How about you tsk?
Stiff fingers still; colder than I thought, windier, too. Had to abandon the wagon; snow too deep and top 2" frozen over. But it was worth it. Coming up into the kitchen I could see a couple goldfinch already chomping away on the nyger. (Not sure, can finches actually chomp?)
Anyway - Had to follow orders. I was getting threatening messages tapped out on the glass - Feed us or else!
When I left to go out it was 24; now at 21.

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Kb, sweet cat checking out tattoo ;D
Puff Never been on a snowmobile before. That would be a trip!! 8) .. We've been to quite a few different ski resorts during spring breaks with the kids, but Copper Mountain sticks in my mind. I wish I would have explored snowmobile tour there. But a snowmobile trip through Yellowstone! Now that would be a something special! We've been there in the summer and experienced the bisons walking next to our small tour van. That was something!!! ;D 8) ... how wonderful it must be for you to have so many special memories of your travels. I was looking online at the Lofoten Isles in Norway this morning. Have you taken the cruise around Norway? Or British isles, like Shetland? ... take care when out feeding your critters. There's something ominous about tapping messages on your window. ;D
Clynn A lot of work for {{{Erin and Sydney}}} in two hours... I've never been on a snowmobile, that would be an adventure... 10 straight days of rain for Medford, Mike told Aly maybe they will drown the fleas. Where Aly lives had an infestation of fleas this past fall. Poor Dewey had to have a flea bath on paws and tummy after every trip outside. I guess that's normal for her area. :-\ ... so she's decided to look for another rental this month.... {{{Harley}}} ...Love the old warehouse/new apartments, a great idea .... -16 Take care
Oldguy, sorry to hear Iowa's closed! Cute Santi video ;D and robot feeding cat. :)
BL, I always enjoy your writings on your trips, including Antarctica in those warm summer temps! LOL! WOW! :o.... There's cold and then there's COLD!
Phyl, very nice dealership, that's a great pr move on their part... gorgeous Great Grey Owl watching the wolf pack.... {{{Jim, Phyl and Maggie}}}
Lisa, sweet morning pic.... Is Bradley still able to continue working at home?
Tig, take care
Emy, Love your Caturday post! I've seen my cats do that, and I wonder why! They have their own dish. LOL!
-
PUFF It had to be that all the quiet you observed was when the snow mobile was off??? ::) ::) 4-4.5" in my driveway yesterday ( official at the airport was 4.5") and another 1.5" this AM. Lots of burbs got much more - like you. My brother in Milw described lots of branches down blocking streets and power outages. Both Wisc brothers reported 10" or more. At your own risk the backyard birds can now survive ;) ;) :-* :-*
KB Too cute - kitty and tattoo ;D
LISA Snuggly AM kitty ;D
EMY LOLOLOLOL Of course.
LANI Oh no, flea infestation. Dang. Now having to move again...

Hi Beakers!
Kb - Sounds like your Nephew knows how to go ice fishing with comfort! I've not heard of an ice fishing house! :) Just read your Nephew's name and definitely your Scott is smiling on Scott! ;D :) Liked hearing about your Scott's fishing days! I remember you posting the mounted huge Muskie fish - quite a treasure in your house. :)
BL - Wow!! What an awesome story of finding that long lost HS ring!! Such nice folks owning that property and what a happy ending with a cerveza and a barbecue!! ;D 8)
Tig - Pelican Lake ;D I can see how you chose to fish there all those years!! Thanks for link.
Tsk - Lol! Tim just likes to drive out! I do too. ;D
Emy - Yikes, sure hope you are able to keep warm. :o
Phyl - Hope Jim feels a lil better each day. :) Nice of the Service garage to have let Jim take the car without paying - they probably know and trust you guys! :)
Lani - Having lakes nearby sound like fun to enjoy during Spring & Summer months! :) How wonderful to see all the variety of birds and other wildlife!! :) You & Mike live in a beautiful area. ;D
OG - You were up really late (looking at your time of post)! Amazing about Iowa. :o Thanks for all links! Love Quarantine kids - Cash is 14 years old now!
I need to get busy again around here, so I will be back later to catch up! Beakers have a nice Saturday. Keep safe & warm.

Scott (my Scott) caught his big muskie through the ice on Rush Lake, MN....at the time it was the state record.
I don't know how to do the maps you guys did, LOL.
KB I want to shoot you a topo map image of Rush Lake, MN.
As camperstig pointed out there is more than one however ...
KB there are 5 Rush Lakes in MN do you happen to know which one Scott caught the Muskie in ?
Lake name MN County
1)Rush Jackson
2)Rush Otter Tail
3)Rush Cass
4)Rush Sherburne
5)Rush (East) Chisago
Rush (West) Chisago
-
BL - so far I've narrowed it down to:
Sherboune County or
Chisago County.
My guess at this point would be Chisago.....why?...closer to Minneapolis and he hunted in Chisago and had a brother who lived in Now Then and friends in that neck of the woods?
For sure not south nor far NW MN
Thanks...also he said due north?
Edit: Now I remember him saying Rush City! East or West Rush Lake I would have no idea.
Whichever had the biggest muskies is what I'd say, LOL
https://www.presspubs.com/isanti/news/large-musky-caught-on-west-rush-lake/article_0edc59fc-d1cd-11e1-ac2c-001a4bcf887a.html
they stock Rush Lake in Chisago County with Muskie!
-
Puff - I had to LOL at your comment, I was getting threatening messages tapped out on the glass - Feed us or else! I feel like that sometimes, when the squirrels are looking for peanuts. ;D
Lani - Bradley is still working from home. Oh no, poor Dewey, and the fleas. I hope Aly can find some place else. Beautiful kitty this morning.
tsk - Wow, you and your brothers did get alot of snow.
E4E - Hope you had a good Saturday.
T40 - Thanks for the videos, almost done watching. :)
I hope all Beakers have been staying safe and warm. We started out at 52° this morning, the wind started picking up around 11am. It started getting colder with the wind, and it is still gusting every now and then outside. I saw a couple days ago, that we were going to have 1 to 3 inches of snow on Tuesday, but that has now changed on TWC.
Good night, everyone :)

T40, great video clips! Still chuckling over 'Let's Get Physical'!! Love the slo...mo.. of the Maine Coon y-a-w-n... Here is a spot Sophie fount to take a nap... the router...

tsk, -9 right now, wind chill -35 with the 25 mph wind. Have not even gone out for the mail today... ::) At least 8" yesterday, airport said 10".
Lani, I talked to Becky today, she said they are getting freezing rain now, maybe some snow later. Not usual for them... :o Oh no, fleas! Poor Dewey! I would look for another place too, she may never be safe from them if it's someone close by who is sharing them...
Puff, my bird feeders are almost empty, I need to get them filled but the door out of the deck is blocked by a huge snow drift and I can't open it! Need to go around the house, through the gate, and I bet I can't open it either. And then get the snow off the steps and the 12" off the tops of the feeders! It will warm up to 1 on Monday, maybe I can do it then...
Lisa, I love old buildings turned into something useful! There is a family business in Oregon that buys old historic buildings and turns them into businesses. McMenamins. https://www.mcmenamins.com/edgefield/discover/history
Gotta go fix some food for Ed & Kelsey!

Wish we could all warm up around this!
LisaG - Savannah College! Nice to hear that Bradley went there! :)
Kb - Hope you take care with all the shoveling & brooming. You are getting your exercise, and that's for sure! But please; no over-doing okay? :o
Emy - Love your post for Caturday! So cute!
Puff - So nice of you to go out and set something out for the birdies!! I am still setting out 'nectar' for the hummers, but there are only a couple of them now. I am wondering if soon, they will be totally gone and I won't see any for a while?? I guess I will have to wait and see. ;)
Lani - I have not been on a snowmobile either!
Clynn - Erin and Sydney sure are special to those folks in your neighborhood!! Good peeps, they are!!!! :-* :)
Tsk - Wow!! Tons of snow for you too. :o You & Tim take care with shoveling/brooming.
BL - That is so great of you to help Kb figure out where Scott landed that huge Muskie! :)
LisaG - Good to hear that Bradley is still working from home. :) Yes, we had a nice Saturday- stayed home and did things indoors - too cold outside, even for us in Ca! :-[
Beakers stay warm and safe. SEDs :)

Thank you for your time, BL I do appreciate it...I'm pretty sure you are correct..
I'm going to spends some time in the next few days reviewing some pictures a friend of Scott sent to me by computer after he died...it was a whole lot of time spent with a group of people hunting, fishing, and partying up in Isanti...He also had a deer stand I remember now in Mora MN...he hunted mostly alone but you know how the gang would all share their fishing and hunting stories while partying!
I have been "lost" watching a very good interview with Tal Wilkenfeld, the bassist that played at Crossroads with Jeff Beck. Interesting as I never have seen her speak, only play. She's from Australia and has that accent but also very together meaning doesn't seem so narcissistic.
Anyway, thank you very much.
eagles4 - thank you for your concern. I do what I gotta do in these temps and nothing more. Do to keep safe when I step outside with Ollie or have deliveries for example.
My right shoulder is an old injury that flares up it seems more with sweeping even than shoveling.
I only recently recalled an incident when I was a flight attendant where I'm sure the first injury to it occurred.
We were overnighting in Sacramento. In those days you had to double up with another flight attendant. It was a 737 and I was in a room with someone I knew pretty well. Well, a man entered our room from the adjacent door that some of those rooms have. Out of a dead sleep I grabbed the lamp to the right of me to throw it at him and it was attached to the wall...not by the plug only but somehow more than that and ripped my stabilizer muscles.
Turned out it was our captain who said he was sleep walking. Hmm, after bad words came out of his mouth he returned to his room. It was a big to do in the industry. You can imagine. My father was an attorney and he's the first person I called, not because he was an attorney but what the hey to ask what to do.
Somehow the hotel told the airline I called my dad who was an attorney.
Anyway, long story short I remembered this week that is probably the beginning of my long storied shoulder issues. I've had it injected multiple times, pt, consult with surgeon etc. I probably need another injection and maybe more snow to shovel and less brooming, LOL.
It's funny though how doing things late in life can suddenly remind you of incidents so long ago.

Kb can you post a pic of Scott's Muskie, I know I've seen it but I kind of forgot what it looks like.
The 70's where rough. :) ;)

Here ya go...I just took another pic. It's better in natural light but I still have 8000 pictures not organized on my laptop....I've procrastinated that job so far.

Currently: 34F cloudy, tonight 20F above 0
On the way home this evening we picked up some #1 Chinese take out. Good time for egg drop soup. ;)
CLynn LOL kitty igloo; Harley is Bob's American cousin. I miss Bob :'( Caturdays are always a tribute to 'Street Cat Bob'
LOL John Candy 'when Hell freezes over'. Large cities worldwide have turned old warehouses and wharves into upscale high rise apts. Smart move.
Tsk sweet pair of kittens this AM. Maggie's better with the adjustment I made on that food dish. She loves to watch me type and play PC games. For some reason she enjoys watching the ISIS tracker app I have . Dah?
Puff Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vertigo/symptoms-causes/syc-20370055 (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vertigo/symptoms-causes/syc-20370055) I always feel like my brains are whirring in my skull. If I move too fast, esp to the right I'll topple over
KB really enjoyed the video of cat discovering it's mommies' tattoo, not an uncommon kitty reaction.
Lisa your AM ginger looks a comfy. we just got back from dealer not long ago. My little Kia was all pretty again like the day I brough it home. Plus, my Kia's little tummy was full. ;) Are we gonna get a video of Sydney and Bradley on the drums?
Emy enjoyed your Caturday post; Brrrrrr !I can hear your teeth chatter. Take care.
Lani adorable ginger kitten today. Hugs and prayers for Aly/Dewey that the fleas get rained out and fly away. Sending Aly much success on a relocation
Puff our bird feeders have been constantly requiring refilling too. Many are frequenting the peanuts in the squirrel feeder as well
Eagles Jim will improve w/his pneumonia . He wears mask and vinyal gloves at work and I think the breakroom isn't as clean as it ought'to be. He's been staying at Subway to eat more and more. We shall see. That camp fire would be soooooo nice. ;)
T40 enjoyed the videos 'Lets Get Physical'/ slow motion cat's yawn---seen plenty of those over the decades.
BL lots of interesting lake info for KB and others
CLynn Sam and Sophie are irresistible ! If I were there I couldn't keep my hands off of them. Good idea to just leave he mail. Y'all are getting drenched in snow. know you will---but take care
I've never been in any of the fancy winter recreational vechicles. ;)
Iowa, Minnesota Wisconsin, etc. have been hit hard as has so many other states. An couple of eons ago while living in Joplin, Mo we got 3.5' in one fall. For that area it was a lot and not common. All the tips and tricks y'all have been talking about I've done---facets dripping and cabinet doors open, etc. ---always kept the curtains pulled and they were thermal. The North East and The South will get their turn next week.

“Lani I am sorry about the fleas on poor Dewey ! Once a month Piper gets a sentinal pill which is a heart worm preventative but also kills fleas! Not sure that it kill that many but heart worm comes from fleas! I am sure she already knows this! Moving may help but she will need to get the fleas off Dewey and heart worm have the vet bathe and treat him while she treats the car and all bedding, etc! Got into this cycle once and believe me, it is a nightmare! Not sure they will drown but several nights of freezing temps will kill the ones outside!
Cute kitty pictures Clynn! Sophie looks so sweet! Sam, the man, looks kind of like, do not mess with Me!
Good caturday pictures and cute kitty shots! Phyl, releived Jim is on some good meds! Stay warm, seds!

Puff, I refilled our bird feeders today. The Dark Juncos, chickadees, sparrows, even the Pinon Jays are happy. You take and be careful :-*
Tsk, With all the snow you and your family are experiencing... I bet Tim's bro/SIL are glad they're in Florida!
Eagles, there's a lot to see and experience in Arizona. You can divide the state in sections and each one is different from the other. Each holds a beauty of its own... Love your good night pic, I wish we were all there too. :-*
T40, the cats on the satellite dish, I hope they have a home.... wrong neighborhood, run pup, run!... awww teaching your cat to draw. How cute are his eyes :-* ... Majestic Maine Coon! ... lion cubs beware of Dad! ;D ... great George and Eric! Let's get Physical! LOL! Oh How I remember that song playing in our girls rooms!
Lisa, that is great Bradley can continue to work at home, continue settle into the new home.
Clynn, Kittens are adorable! Someday Harley will be playing with them too.... Aly says, the whole neighborhood has them. Inside/outside, playground... She's live in SF, Norway, Santa Fe, here and never had fleas before... Aly said, sun came out late afternoon... -9 right now, wind chill -35 brrrr, we were watching the KC Chiefs game and it was -7.... stay safe, warm and take care. The mail and bird feeder can wait another day.
Kb, I remember that great pic of the Muskie! Enjoyed your convo with BL. :)
Phyl, prayers for continued healing for you, Jim and Maggie.
Karen, the fleas are around the apartment buildings, nearby playground, everywhere...Aly's trying to keep them out of her home, as does the neighbors. Doing all the things you suggested... you and Piper take care.
Thanks BL checking now.
Good night!

Temp is -16 right now, wind chill -40. Dang! It is more than cold! High today will be -6. A week from tomorrow we will be back in the 30s, normal... ;D
Puff, I think the Midwest is all in the deep freeze! Stay warm!
Lori, good morning girl! So good to see you in the AM!
Phyl, great picture of Audi and Jak! Nice and clear, they must have upgraded their camera! Hope you and Jim are better each day... Great 365, the cranes are beautiful and we are in Japan! That's new!
Lani, I don't think I will be able to get out to fill the bird feeders today! Maybe Wednesday, it will be 19! Like a heat wave! Sounds like Aly's whole neighborhood needs to be fumigated! Do they do that for fleas? Moving would be the best answer, and now she has another question to ask when she is looking -- is there a flea problem...
Abandoned Hotel Belvédère was an iconic Swiss hotel on the edge of the Rhone Glacier. It was built in 1882 by young hotelier Josef Seiler in one of the hairpin bends of the Furka Pass, one of the snowiest regions in Switzerland. The panoramic location attracted a pampered clientele who sometimes stayed for weeks during the summers.
The hotel industry in Switzerland boomed at the turn of the 20th century, and Hotel Belvédère's popularity increased with the opening of new railway lines. However, from the 1960s, the number of guests at the hotel and other Alpine hotels decreased due to faster and more powerful cars. The once two or three day trip through the pass became a one-day round trip, and guests no longer stayed overnight.The hotel closed a couple of years ago and will likely never reopen.

In Utah, USA, the Great Salt Lake has a railroad that divides the lake into two distinct sections. On one side, the blue waters mix with fresh water from three separate rivers, resulting in significantly lower salt levels compared to the other side. The pink-hued section, on the other hand, boasts almost ten times the ocean's salt concentration and serves as a habitat for salt-adapted organisms, giving it its distinctive pink color.

Oh, I agree tsk. I wasn't complaining so much as comparing the two of us. We have at times completely different environs but all considered the Chgo area. Since I posted the earlier temps we both dropped a wee bit more. But they are predicting sun - just not enough it looks like to get us out of the minus figures. We'll see.

clynn - I LOVE the pics of the kitties! I agree with you too, on the old building turning into something useful.
E4E - I would love to be sitting by that fire on the beach. Glad that you had a nice Saturday, and that you didn't need to go out in the cold. :)
Phyl - As soon as I get a video, I will most certainly post it here. Glad to hear all is good with the Kia. Love the basket full of Russian Blue's.
BL - Thanks for the weather map. I am hoping for some warm temps for drive and trip to Mama's next week.
Lani - How awful for Aly!
Phyl - Love the blue glass bottles. Stay warm! Great pics of Chase and Choyln, and Audi and Jak.

Good Morning Beakers
Grindavik is getting lava this morning (8am Iceland) - eruption started about 1 km north of town. Some of the vents are within the new berms that were under construction. Lava has crossed the road going north out of Grindavik, flowing west. A second small fissure started very close to the houses - lava has entered the northern houses in town as of 3.5 hours ago - still looking for updated info.

Dressed for it.
Brrr....high of zero or 1 today...I notice most local social media pages pretty quiet around here these days.
People are probably hunkered down..same as me.
Eagles4 - Enjoy Kris' day today! Happy Bird Day of course.
-
Just heard from sis about nephew and friends Breezy Point ice fishing adventure.
First day, Scott only caught one small crappie.
Then, yesterday they rented a guide and a warmer ice fishing house. Not sure yet what that meant in terms of types of fish. But, caught more than first day.
Who knew such amenities existed....not me.

Good Morning! News on computer said the town in Iceland was evacuated! Guess there
are worse things than cold! The Temps at swfl are currently 59 and were 69 yesterday afternoon! Baby left alone for quite awhile and has been eating a lot of road kill rabbit! Temps will top out at 61 degrees thus afternoon.
Happy Birthday Kris! Sorry but I ate the entire Black Forest cupcake Lori posted for you! Maybe she can find another!
Lani, I had a bug company spray a yard to kill fleas! A certain number if freezing days will also kill them.

Happy Birthday Kris!

Not find much upto date info this morning on Iceland. This was post about 40 min. ago, but not a lot of detail. The town was evacuated last evening because of road damage - large uplifts and cracks - making it hard to leave town - but everyone did get out about 10 hours before this mornings eruption. The small second fissure started about 4 hours after the first and was only 400 meters away from the northern point of homes. Lava from this fissure has surrounded some homes.
-
It was -17 here this morning. I have to take step son to work in an hour(his car is still buried in snow), so quick posts.
No one wanted to be out last night, so no card game :(

This map might be of interest to us chilly Beakers. :)
https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/exper/ndfd/ndfd.html#
It depicts where the FORECAST ( NDFD (https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/mdl/ndfd) ) Temperatures will either Tie or Break / or be Near the historical RECORDS for a given station.
These are ambient temps in F° NOT wind chill temps.
Hi Max = Maximum High Temperature for the day at that station.
Hi Min = Minimum High Temperature for the day at that station.
Lo Max = Maximum Low Temperature for the day at that station.
Lo MIn = Minimum Low Temperature for the day at that station.
We'll use Sunday the 14th's Lo Max in Des Moines, IA as an example. (Sorry Clynn). ;)
1) hover your mouse over the Lo Max Blue Box, Upper Left - this will populate the map with blue Temps. Zoom map in a bit.
2) click on the blue -9 number near Des Moines.
3) in the pop up box you will see
DSM - DES_MOINES_INTL_(ASOS) = Staion ID + (type of weather station)
NDFD:-9°F = FORECAST Maximum Low Temperature for Sun 14th at that station.
Record:-9°F (1888) = the 1888 Maximum Low Temperature RECORD.
Data starts: 1878
So if the NDFD forecast hold true of (-9) at Des Moines it will TIE the Lo Max temp of -9 set at DSM
in 1888 on this date. In other words pretty Fn cold in any ones lifetime there. ::)
Clear as mud ? ;D

BL - I perused some old photos and interestingly I found a pic of My Scott with a fish and a white board behind him stating Rush Lake...and Coon lake btw, but it's marked from Rush Lake 1984.
Also found a deer stand pic, looks kind of flimsy to me but what do I know?
And finally a fish caught at the BWCA.
Many more but I won't indulge except to say I forgot he was like the Derby headmaster? as well..
-
kb those are great old photos of Scott's hunting and fishing days. 8)
Thank you for sharing them here. 8) 8)
And it's also cool that the Topo map is from 83' so it's contemporary to Scott's fishing days at Rush Lake. ;D

kb I thought this pic of Scott was a pic of Lowell George for a second there. ;)
I see the resemblance but Scott's much cuter ;) ;)
here is another pic from similar time frame...
BTW what made me shiver in my boots about Scott was his voice!..he had a very deep sexy voice. Many peeps throughout his life told him he should have been on the radio.
-
PUFF I'm loving this sun today. Cold air makes me cough so I put a mask on and then I couldn't see as my glasses fogged up LOL.. Shoveled what blew over the sidewalks and drive and quit when I couldn't feel my fingers!!! I pray for the homeless and that they seek shelter - :(
LISA Another beautiful knitted cup cozy. :)
OLDGUY So good that the folks had a chance to get all their belongings out. So sad. A 13 yr old genius! A very pensive Claire. :-*
KB Aww that cute ole dog. Hope his coat has adaptations for going potty! LOL Couldn't tell. :o Ice fishing - a whole different world for me too. Not "Grumpy Old Men" for sure LOL That first pic of Scott is so cute - as is he!!
BL LOL Good comparison - dead ringer.

Phyl, beautiful nature video... beautiful pics from Sauces and Two Harbors....
Lori, great birthday posts for Kris! Oh my, -15 ... be safe and cozy with Destini. Take care :-*
Clynn, oh my keep warm poor goose with the beak mitten! LOL!... no fumigating allowed on Aly's block. The two brothers that own the apartment complex haven't offered to help the renters. .. She wants to move to another area of Medford or outside of Medford. She doesn't like the area. She'd like to rent an apartment or home that has a washer/dryer hookup... too bad about the Hotel Belvédère, great photos of hotel and Great Salt Lake.
Tsk, Mike's presentation went well. He may have gotten two new contracts to sell their product.... I thought the this morning cranes reminded me of origami too.... B&T ;D
{{{Puff}}}
Lisa, Love the knitted mug.... prayers for warmer weather for your trip. :-*
Oldguy, very sad for the town of Grindavik... :'( ... sorry no Saturday night card games.
Kb, sweet mama/baby... love the dog bundled up... awwww Scott pics! ;D
Karen, no fumigating allowed... Aly will find a new place outside of Medford to rent.... oh no! You ate Kris's b'day cake! :(. I bet it was delicious! 8)
BL, thanks for your clear as mud weather update 8) ... good comparison of Scott
-
Update on ice fishing in these temps:
I guess after all is said and done, fish don't bite in these temps...old high school friends though and a good time was had by all...but, nephew Scott happy to get on the road towards home as it was still cold!
Other ice fisherman and other lakes had a similar experience I'm told at other lakes.
Note to self: Don't try first time ice fishing in temps below oh say 25!
-
Last one I promise:
BL - now does this pic of Scott look like Lowell George?. ;) ;) ;)
Scott dressed as Tinker Bell one Halloween long before I met him btw.
-
Pip wants to know how Scott got his fake eye lashes to stay on, she's been trying for 40 years to no avail. LOL ;)

BL - Thanks for the weather map. I am hoping for some warm temps for drive and trip to Mama's next week.
Well according to the Climate Prediction Center your temps should be in the "Above Normal" range on the 8-14 Day Temp Outlook.
What exactly those above normal temps are in the states along your route in January I'm not sure. ;D
I think you said MD > Savannah > Jacksonville > Mobile ? (https://maps.app.goo.gl/iY5GusT1EVLcqFSz7)
My finger tips can only reach out 6 days for a max temps forecast, but here's Sat 01/20/24 (1st image).
- Edit - they just updated the 8-14 day outlook. :) (2nd Image).

Happy Birthday Kris

Lisa , temps and conditions for driving look great along I 10 for your trip! Monday it starts to warm up again. Do not expect snow or ice unless there is some in Virginia and maybe NC! Doubt it! Meant to comment your coffee cup sweater, earlier but got in a hurry this morning!
The little house finch was in the nest this afternoon! Guess it was a little housekeeping visit and might be a tad warmer than a tree. Speaking if which, I am interviewing one tomorrow afternoon . If things work out I will cancel some of the help! Can always start it up again if needed!
Old Guy has been working overtime on the cakes for Kris, Wow!
-
BL - Yep, that is my drive, and TY!! :D
karen - I love that drive along I-10...hardly any traffic, and you can go fast. ;D

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I just hit a wrong key, and my whole post disappeared!!! ::) I don't have time now to recreate it, so I will just say that I hope All the Beakers are getting along okay! :) Zip and I are fine. I have been busy! I haven't been in The Beak, or on RRP Forum, since Jan. 6th - over a week ago! - so I have something like 20 pages to read to catch up and see all the news from The Beak! I hope all the Beakers are okay! :)
Meanwhile, the Australian Open tennis tournament started last night at midnight my time on ESPN. You know where I was! ;) :D For those interested, I think it starts tonight, for "Day 2" live coverage at 7pm Eastern. Live coverage is mostly on ESPN and ESPN2 right now, but some of it may broadcast on ABC channels some days, though I haven't checked which days, or even confirmed that - I just know it has in the past. Replay of matches and highlights are on the Tennis Channel during daylight hours in the USA. Check your listings for times.
I look forward to catching up on all the news in The Beak! Take care, All! :) :-*

Fox!!!. Thank you so much!!!! You ALL are the very best!!!! :-* ;D :) 8)
Such cold temps for so many of you Beakers. I think we are cold when our mornings have been 31-33 deg or so, but that is nothing compared to other areas! We talked with our son in TX this morning and he was at 9 deg.!
Tsk - Nice that B&T are in FL!
Puff - Stay in! :)
LisaG - I sure hope the weather warms up for your trip next week! Is Jeff able to work from home during this winter weather?
OG - The Lava in Iceland :o ::) I bet all of you were happy to postpone the Saturday card game - much too cold to be out!
Kb - Cute pic this morning! Sounds like your Nephew is having a good time and probably it helps to have the amenities! ;D Love the stories of your Scott and his pictures!
Tig - Yumm! Homemade pizza and TV - sounds perfect!
BL - You are so dependable with your weather updates, graphics, maps! Thank you! That's right; no cutting into that lucious cake!Lol! ;D
Lani - I was going to ask about the owners spraying for the flea infestation, and I just read what you said about no fumigation is allowed on Aly's block. That's too bad - sounds like it is a matter of health & safety. I feel so bad for poor Dewey. :(
Karen - Enjoy watching that little house finch! :)
Baz - Oh no, so sorry about you losing your post, as you always write such nice stuff!! You & Zippo have a nice evening. :)
Good night Beakers - keep warm & stay safe. Hugs for All!

Enjoyed all the Sunday posts...weather updates and especially the 'Down Memory Lane' photos.
It started snowing here about 5PM with a forecasted fall of 1-3" and tomorrow another 3" on top of todays fall .
Our current temp is 19F above with light snow. Tonight's low is forecast at 16F above. I know, I know, I know this is no big deal for everyone here and elsewhere....But it's for us here in Middle Tennessee. ;)
CLynn LOL duck in beak muffler and scarf. What a treat checking out the Abandoned Hotel Belvédère--what a shame. Had forgotten that about the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Thanks
Tsk those aren't just any 'ol 'gray ' kitties. Those are pure bread Russian Blue kitties. Their coat is really a blue-gray.
Cute penguin this AM. Playing catch-up on 'History of the World in 6 Glasses' tonight.
Lisa I will be 'so looking forward' to that video of Sydney and her Dad on the drums; a bit ahead. But, safe travels next week. The Kia had been clean up and polished with a full tank of fuel, too. There was more. Cute cable knit mug cozy this AM.
KB enjoyed the wolf pup and mama; what a hoot the Twitter dog all decked out in snow 'gear'.

kb I found what I think is a nicer looking version of the Topo map of Rush Lake, MN than the 1st one from 1983.
The older USGS hand drawn paper Quads are topographic art IMHO.
I hold dear quite a few sheets that we use to navigate presently.
The battery on a physical paper map never dies. ;)
Second Image. It's a cropped image from the USGS Cambridge, MN 15 Minute Quadrangle map Published in 1961.
The whole 15' Cambridge, MN map sheet is way to big for the forum image size limits.
1st image is a postcard of the whole Sheet.
I was thinking maybe you or Chris could print out the map image to give some location context to Scott's Muskie hanging on the wall.
Red Dot = BL's best guess ice fishing location for a Muskie like that there then.
If you can find out the exact date, weight and length of Scott's Muskie catch from/on Rush ?
That might add to that very worthy fish hanging on the wall.
Throwing keepers out the door I get. SOP.

BL - Great idea!....I will do that tomorrow.
I found a plated date etc. that had fallen off it and took a pic of it. Sorry for the glare of my light.
She/he is 50 inches long and 29 3/4 lbs.
The date says Jan 2, 2000 which is interesting to me anyway.
I know Scott said it took the taxidermist an entire year to do what he did with the fish...and not to call him, he'd call Scott when done and he did. Is that what it's called, taxidermy?..I only know embalming, LOL
We met I'm guessing mid 2000 and married in 2001..the fish came with him to my house Dec, 2001.
He loved loved loved to tell that fish story and got very animated when he did so!
I'd only add the map should maybe be laminated..He has laminated topo maps of local lakes I still have but not of Rush or others and they've held up well.
Thanks so much

I found a notation that said a 50 inch muskie would be about 17 years old. FYI

Not so oddly enough it tastes just iike chicken.

Oldguy, what a great cake for Kris.... thanks for Iceland update.
Hi Baz! Sorry about your first post, but it's great to see your post! So it's tennis that's keeping you busy. 8) Thank God Zippo didn't lock you in your new refrig or bedroom!
Karen, Good idea to get a housekeeper to help you out... That would be good for you, good luck. .. Old leather legs! ;D
Phyl, great cake for Kris ;D
Hi Eagles, so glad Kris enjoyed his Beak Room birthday posts! I hope he had a great day! It's cold in Texas! Glad you heard from your son.

What is Blue Monday? And is it really the most depressing day of the year?
The third Monday in January has been coined "Blue Monday" and is suggested to be the saddest day of the year.

Phyl, fun watching the red-crowned cranes in the 365! Pretty donuts! -11 here right now, high today is 0. What a perfect birthday cake you found for Kris! I think I will not be sad at all today, thanks for the warning! Never heard of Blue Monday!
Lani, did you get snow this weekend?
E4E, glad Kris had a great birthday! Many more to come!
karen, it sounds like you are doing great, I agree, a housekeeper would be good, that is mainly what my Mom's help does when they are there. She has 3 days a week, 3 hours each day. Would you be able to ask for someone once in a while if needed? Mom saves things she needs help with for those days when she has help. Works out good.
Lisa, bet you are looking forward to seeing your Mom! I will be doing my Spring visit by myself in April. My sisters and I are planning to all be there for her 90th birthday, in November!
tsk, what will you be busy doing today?
oldguy, have been looking at more videos of the volcano in Iceland...so sad for those folks...

Since I missed a couple of 'items' from last night. Thought I'd try to catch up.
OG tks for update on Icelandic volcano ---those folks have been thru so much
Karen a housekeeper would be a great idea. I often find my self 'wishing' for one.
Bazi >:( loosing ones post before ya can post the thing.
CLynn Blue Monday, I shan't be sad today either. LOL Our currant weather is unusual for Middle Tennessee---but not unheard of. I took some snaps right after I got up this morning---the cardinals were all flittering about and frequenting the peanut feeder.

I just did beak count on my nyjer feeder Phyl. There are 11 at the holes and a couple hanging on the cord waiting for a vacant spot. Needing their oily protein. -12

OLDGUY That is a huge fissure. Thanks for the update.
BL So nice to know muskie tastes like chicken ;D ;D
CLYNN Love those feed nature trees. I've done pinecones lathered with peanut butter and rolled in bird seed. The squirrels loved them ::) ::) :P :P Nothing on my schedule today - amazing. Maybe more puzzle time ;) ;)

Morning all. How cold is it?
When my toast is cold just nanoseconds out of the toaster, therefore the cheese is cold on top of it, and the butter in it's dish is hardly soft....and I do have my furnace set to 72...
Hang in there all..next Sunday for us to warm up.
tig - interesting on the age of the Muskie..an old one considering the average lifespan is 18 years.

Enjoy these rich chocolate cupcakes. They are a moist, chocolatey, strawberry chocolate treat. These chocolatey cupcakes are topped with a homemade strawberry buttercream frosting that is thick and creamy. It’s made with classic buttercream ingredients along with marshmallow fluff and a strawberry puree made out of freshly chopped and strained strawberries. This gives them a light and fresh flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate cupcakes. Enjoy Jilltosa & the beakers!

BL - Great idea!....I will do that tomorrow.
I found a plated date etc. that had fallen off it and took a pic of it. Sorry for the glare of my light.
She/he is 50 inches long and 29 3/4 lbs.
The date says Jan 2, 2000 which is interesting to me anyway.
I know Scott said it took the taxidermist an entire year to do what he did with the fish...and not to call him, he'd call Scott when done and he did. Is that what it's called, taxidermy?..I only know embalming, LOL
We met I'm guessing mid 2000 and married in 2001..the fish came with him to my house Dec, 2001.
He loved loved loved to tell that fish story and got very animated when he did so!
I'd only add the map should maybe be laminated..He has laminated topo maps of local lakes I still have but not of Rush or others and they've held up well.
Thanks so much
kb that is awesome that you found the copper plaque for Scott's Muskie Mount. ;D
Re attach it to the wood permanently some how . 8)
And yes Taxidermy.
I'd only add the map should maybe be laminated..He has laminated topo maps of local lakes I still have but not of Rush or others and they've held up well.

📺 SLOTH TV
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
Moose, two-fingered sloth: He is taking well to a full-smoothie diet and currently weighs 702 grams. He is growing, eating well, and remains active–a healthy baby all around!
Grover, two-fingered sloth: He is on a full smoothie diet now and is over 700 grams. Grover is healthy and stable.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Currently at 900 grams, will hopefully graduate to Sloth Elementary soon! We have noticed some potential symptoms of a health issue, so she is being closely monitored at this time.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Nearing 900 grams and growing fast! He is stable and enjoying time on the sloth playground.
Fergus, three-fingered sloth: Fergus is undergoing nebulization treatments for potential pnuemonia. He has a reserved prognosis at this time.
NEW ARRIVAL Nazli, two-fingered sloth: Nazli came to us after her mom was electrocuted. She has a wound on her nose, potentially from the fall from the powerline. She currently weighs 418 grams but has been steadily growing. She is still spending nights in an incubator and has a reserved prognosis at this time.
NEW ARRIVAL JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ was found alongside his electrocuted mother with no obvious signs of injury. He is eating well and has a fiesty personality. He is a little over 400 grams and has been spending nights in an incubator.
🌳Sloth Elementary Update:
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken has taken well to smoothie and is gaining weight. Introducing leaves to his diet and spending more time on the Sloth Playground!
Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Slightly underweight for his age, but stable and growing. We are keeping a close eye on his leaf intake and making sure he gets enough smoothie.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is eating more leaves and is almost fully weaned off smoothie! Spending more time in an outdoor enclosure.
🎓Sloth University Update:
Coco, two-fingered sloth: Currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures, eating well and likely the next to be released.
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax was recently moved to one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures. He is growing fast!
Myrtle & Spike, two-fingered sloths: Neck and neck in weight, competing to see who will be next to go to the pre-release enclosure. We are getting ready for them to graduate to the next stage!
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Our smallest graduate, but working hard to catch up to the others. He is stable and growing well.
🥀In Loving Memory: :-*
Liana, two-fingered sloth: Liana has encountered a bump on her road to release and was transferred back to HQ for a period while she is being treated for severe anemia. We are working hard to get her healthy again, but she has a reserved prognosis at this time.
Update Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Officially over the 500 gram mark and is slowly being weaned onto smoothie.
Mimi is adapting well to life without a hand and has been learning to climb. We are so impressed with her progress so far! :-*

Hi Puff, Here are links:

https://www.explore.org/livecams/sloth/toucan-tv
We are a small, dedicated team. We ask for kindness and patience as we post updates. We strive to update the explore.org community biweekly.
If there have been changes, we will work with our veterinarians and caregivers to develop thorough and complete conclusions about illnesses and deaths before announcing anything. You are watching a nursery hospital, and there are developments on these animals' health daily.
Our mission and the eventual goal for each animal (you grow to love on this camera) is destined for a life in the wild. From the bottom of our hearts, we understand how easy it is to become emotionally attached to these remarkable animals. But at the end of the day, they are wild animals who deserve the best chance at life back in their home - the rainforest! As we grow to love these animals, we hope you can also understand the joy of moving them through our various rewilding programs to have a full life #backinthetrees.

Blue Monday was a hit song in 1983 by a British singing group! Clynn I love the red in your morning post! So pretty and cheerful! Put on a red shirt today! Lani, bright red flower in your greeting to Jiltisa! Thanks for the sloth report!
Jiltosa, Happy Birthday and enjoy your day! Sorry to say that I ate the cake Old Guy posted for you! It was delicious!
Old Guy, thanks for the BlueGrass Music! It took me back to my days in Asheville, North Carolina and Friday nights during the summer with “Mountain Music” and clog dancing ! Good times. And I wonder if they still do this on the Green!
Muskies, My mother was the parent who caught them, summers in Northern Wisconsin and my Dad caught the bigger walleyes. I grew up eating both if them, cooked a lot of different ways. I like fried walleyes and do not care for Muskie! Believe me, as a chicken eater I can assure you it does not taste like chicken! Fried alligator tail does taste like chicken!
Lisa, good that the coasts are clear for your up coming
trip! Interesting that you can get on I10 in Jacksonville. fl and go all the way to Los Angeles!

The Lee A. Tregurtha arriving in Duluth, MN just moments ago!
As the Great Lakes Shipping season comes to an end, the Lee A. Tregurtha makes one last pass through the Duluth Canal before its winter layup.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfyQeVXoyzw
4 days ago in Superior WI
She delivers taconite...a WW2 ship still in service.
Did take a 45 min nappy poo....
However, I do think my pup, Ollie man, is telepathic..no I'm not kidding. We are quiet. He can "see" through floors.
Because he was occupying my whole bed I tried to nap on my couch. Not 5 minutes later he's upstairs sitting on the floor next to me staring/begging....okay, okay. Come on up...and up he came to nap with me. :) :)
BTW, I adore him.
I forgot to add....we have no snow on our roofs....snow is such a great insulator but with no snow these temps feel much colder inside the house..waiting for next weekend ;)

We are having our first snow today, nothing like the rest of you all have got tho. It is a dusting at the moment, but they are saying possibly 1 to 3 inches.
Oops...just realize that my post has been sitting here all morning, so added more to it! ::)
baz - Good to see you! How is the new fridge?
karen - Leather legs in Florida! ;D ;D
E4E - Brrr, 9 degrees in TX! The State use to give "snow days", but ever since the pandemic and they were allowed to work from home then, the State did away with "snow days" and just said telework from home if you can.
Phyl - Stay safe and warm with all that snow you got, and are going to get. Thanks for the 365. Interesting about Blue Monday.
Lani - Love that good night pic.
clynn - Love the decorate a tree for wildlife. I actually has seen that done on one of the Hallmark shows a few Christmas' ago. I am looking forward to seeing my mom. Aww, I bet your Mom will be so surprised that you all will be there for her 90th.

Cool pic from this morning out of an airplane window.
Minneapolis, looking north with the Mighty Miss winding through. The Vikings stadium visible in the center of the pic.
Not much snow....but -5 at the time this pic taken..probably landing at MSP by swinging around east to then the west.
I live about 8.5 miles southwest of this picture..
No, I'm not wanting snow.

KB - you can enjoy some of my snow, without the workout... ;)
From my doorway, looking at my deck.
-
tsk - Jeff and I were just talking about that the other day. Since 2010, I think, we have not got alot of snow. Sometimes, an inch or two, and then other times a dusting. At the moment, it is a pretty dusting, and very cold.
kb - That is a cool pic!
oldguy - Oh my! :o
-
oldguy - Haha....I do enjoy this!....cause it's not at my house this year! ;) ;)
Don't want to get cocky though as there is still a lot of winter left....but, better you than me ;)

We have a few more inches of snow since this morning. Currently, 14F cloudy skies with forecasted high 19F and a nighttime low of 8F.
Jim got home 30 mins. ago and declared that the roads weren't clear at all...the city had done nothing...not even the interstates were clear.
The birds made a royal mess of our deck---the snow had piled up 8' or so high on rails and all their carrying on made the deck look crenelated like a Medieval castle. No surprise it was the Starlings---they're like a gang of rowdy cattle hands fresh off a long drive! ::)
So glad to read that everyone isn't having a 'Blue Monday'. Ha, ha, just a load of 'malarkey '. But it was 'fun'.
Thank y'all for the wildlife updates, local weather reports and snow photos and all.
Lots of pretty and sweet looking birthday greetings for Jilltosa. ;)
We're having BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, a brew each, green salad; Jim gets cole slaw , potato chips. Maybe some hot soup too. Later---double chocolate hot chocolate with...you guessed it, Reddi Whipp rosette .
NES -Nashville Electric Service has just sent a power alert e-mail. To conserve we must turn our thermostats down to and set to 55 degrees during the day to avoid loss of electricy and heating. :(

Hi Puff & Baz!
Kris had a nice birthday lunch yesterday. He & I and my Mom & sis went to a nearby town (San Juan Bautista) and had delicious Mexican food! ;D
Kris' sister & her fiance are coming back tonight! They were supposed to fly out on Saturday back to CO, but because of the weather conditions, they decided to stay at a Motel for a couple of nights thinking that they would fly out today, but again, their flight is postponed. We told them to come back here, so they will be back tonight!
Beakers have a good night - stay safe & warm.

Good evening Beakers
I don't remove the snow on my deck in the winter, except if I need to get to my shed, then only a path.

oldguy, wow on your deck! Grindavik, so sad for the people, praying something will work out for them...
E4E, a nice dinner out, and you got company again! Yes, I drive to Mom's by myself a couple of times a year. It's only an 8 hour drive, interstate all but the last 80 miles. I listen to a book on CD and it goes pretty fast. Then it really slows down once I get there...very small town of 2000. I will get together with my old high school friends and Mom and I will go shopping in Evansville, and I will visit with both of my Aunties. It's my repose from Kelsey and Ed... ;D
kb, great pick of Minneapolis, I have been on some of those streets!
Lisa, so how much snow did you end up with? We don't usually get this much snow all at once. Maybe this will be it! Ha, but I can wish! I remember snow as early as October 10 and as late as May2... But then I lived in Duluth for 3 winters, and this is nothing compared to that... :o

OLDGUY How sad was that aerial video on how far the lava had flowed into town. Very sad in not knowing what the future holds for this town and the loss of community they mourn. Interesting about the water/pipes sources for heating. Seems insurmountable that the town could exist again. :'( Interesting piece on cats hot/cold.

Many thank for the beautiful, and delicious, birthday greetings! I have reached the age that is the same, not only forwards and backwards but upside down too!
I have been checking in frequently and have rejoiced with some of you and often said prayers when I read other posts; I have definitely been here in spirit!
For several years I have been dealing with a situation that became extremely frustrating the past 3 years, despite the intervention of the alderman!!! When I worked on my thesis a long time ago I found out the importance of documentation! What I saw this past Saturday gives me hope that the situation is finally resolved! The city snowplowing was quite different!
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE BIRTHDAY GREETIINGS, FLOWERS, AND MUNCHIES. I am happy to share them!!!

First snow 1-15-24
Looking out into the retention pond about 12:30 PM. Easy to see The birds made a royal mess of our deck---
the snow had piled up 8' or so high on rails and all their carrying on made the deck look crenelated like a Medieval castle.
No surprise it was the Starlings---they're like a gang of rowdy cattle hands fresh off a long drive!

Happy Birthday Lani! Enjoy your day in what ever way makes you happy ! Give Sadie a hug! Thanks for posting Fats D singing Blue Monday!
Jiltosa, good to see you post!
Puff , where is the freeze in your pipes? Water in the house? Not broken?
Hope the plumber is there by now and that you are taking a nap!
Phyl, beautiful snow pictures! Enjoy the beauty from the warmth of your home! It will soon begone! Then back to the dead look of winter and the summer wait for the awakening of spring! Very pretty in your patch of the world!
Hard freeze warning for us tonight and tomorrow night! Only in the twenties! Hade hha put covers on outside faucets. Yesterday and will probably move the petunias off the front porch to the screen porch where I have a wrought iron stand that I cover wit a plastic cover that I got from a furniture store years ago. It was the cover for a twin mattress and slips over this stand perfectly. Acts like a green house! Will see if it keeps these flowers alive. Oretty sure the geranium will make it and the poinsettia. Going to get busy!

LISA There you go!! Join the snow party ;D An honest to goodness snowfall ;D
JILLTOSA Still a youngster ;) ;) So good to hear that your long suffering problem with the plowing in your block could actually be resolved via your tenacious efforts :-* I'll praise the Lord . ;)
PHYL You got a very sizeable snowfall as well. Good pictures. Wondering if that cardinal is confused about which way in to those peanuts? ;) ;)
KB Cute little girl and a very rapt audience LOL
KAREN Good idea to try and save the plants - Just might work. Pretty cold for you all.
LANI Love that 7 yr old pic of you. Wonder what you were smiling at?

TSK This photo, taken from the end of my driveway, was most often they way it was done. It would take at least three hours until they would come to finish the job. The remaining snow would be plowed to "my" side of the street. What would take so long for the job to be finished I do not know -- you know the size of my little "neighborhood." For someone who retired before computers were widely available in elementary school classrooms I have become adept at using PowerPoint. Unfortunately during this frustrating ordeal I lost interest in using my camera for its usual purpose. I do not enjoy using it for documentation. Last March I "felt a tap on my shoulder at 4:30 am" and I knew I should get on my robe, jacket and hat and grab my camera and get out to the end of my driveway. Within about three minutes the plow came through doing its first pass and then a few minutes later came through doing its second pass -- like it usually did. No more passes for several minutes so I went back to bed. When I got up at the usual time I knew I had to shovel. I was not really surprised to see that no more plowing had been done. While I was shoveling my driveway a plow came and did three passes pushing all the snow to my side. It was after 8:30 am. Fortunately this driver changed the angle of the plow when he was approaching my driveway!!! But what happened this past Saturday with the plowing after our third snow of the week leaves me with optimism!!! I welcome that!!!
-
tsk - ;D part of the snow party.
Lani - What a cute pic of you at 7yrs old.
Lori - The lemon blueberry cake looks and sounds delicious.
karen - Hope your plants make it in the cold.
Puff - Hope all is ok with the pipes.
-
I hope the petunias make it but they are on shaky ground already! I do not want to buy anything more for the front porch until the plants are available in the spring! Willsee how this experiment works! After setting up the “greenhouse”, I had the hha help me clean the dining room light fixture! She got on the ladder and I washed, cleaned the little shades, etc! It looks so nice and sparkly now!
Lani, adorable at 7🤗 and I am sure beautiful now!
Tsk, I wondered the same about Puff!
Lisa did you get the same, very heavy snows that D.C used to get mid January to February? They were horrendous and always very wet.
-
LANI----Hope you are having a Wonderful Birthday. Bev
-
jilltosa - I live on a no outlet street too, and the plow job in your pic looks almost like they do my street, except the plow usually is like a wall at the end of your drive. And, when we go out and remove it, they come back and make another wall.
karen - I don't think our snow on this side of the bridge was quite as bad as the other side.
-
Ah yes, the saga of the pipes. . .
First, tsk Most of my pipes are well into the rooms of the house or walls insulated/protected. Kitchen wall has 5 ft (?) small passway for fridge/icemaker and one short dishwasher feed. That leaves kitchen sink set in about 1 foot from wall. That's the one that calls for the open cabinet for sure.
Water problems have been an issue from the start. About 5 years into the house foundation small cracks/problems would cause inch or so of water to flood 3 or 4 areas of the downstairs level. Cracks tended to get worse. I'm guessing about 8 times we had to do the shop vac, beach towels, squeegy routine. Not all that easy on the bad knees and backs as we got older. Other problem was Ton's room with the carpet down there. That room required pulling up part of rug and also removing paneling where crack was. (Or, as the professionals called it a settling fissure). But they sure knew what in the ell they were doing. In less than an hour they chipped out the crackes, prepared the seams, and took 3 swipes at filling each of the areas a little at a time. I very highly recommend the company and technique. Just like that - 1 hour, $600, no more of that crazy/hard cleanup.
U. S. Waterproofing! I don't know if they're all over the US.
Only water is the lower level this time was a tad bit with a new higher up small start. The issue was that a drainage water pump got clogged up and froze because of the water in the outside drainage setup. We did have rain about 2 weeks ago. Water from pump drainage and roof fall-off was being sent thru a 1" pipe into a 2" drain to the yard. The fellow today found a crack in the 1" that started the stopage, which led to a backup, which led to freezing, leading to blockage that dripped water in a circle motion out to the foundation ground and back into the pump. Pump then was going on for 15 sec and off for 30 sec routine. I didn't know anything. Even to shower I'd look around to the back room and didn't see, or hear, anything. Until I went in bedroom upstairs to watch Bulls game! Oh God NO! Hard to sleep when you can hear and count the seconds between cycles.
Calling around til about 8 o'clock all I got was answering machines. Finally one of our plumbers said he'd get someone for 8 in the morning. Because of the weather, time of day, lack of water, and plumbers on serious all day work/disasters, I said sure.
Damages: Re-ran new outside run-off setting. When pipes thaw and ground thaws it will be reworked.
He also told me I don't have two pumps in the "hole". I have 3. Why would there be 3 is the question. Tony is the only one with a for sure answer. :-\ And, he said one is an alarm pump that signals when it is malfunctioning. Yeah? That one has been ruined by me because he liked it when I didn't asked things (judged, questioned). So because I didn't check the water level -- I killed the battery.
New battery was the bigger amount of the bill. If I don't want to worry about the water in pump #3 - I can now buy pumps that don't require but maybe one check-up a year. $365 for battery I have now. $2,000 for low maintenance battery. Duh - let me think. :D
I now have to talk to neighbor to explain pipe laying into his yard is temporary.
I know for sure plumber is tired to the core so I won't complain about my own last 24 hours. Can you imagine -- all the problems, all the cold, long hours. He has had a whole lot worse day than I.

Lani, hope you are having a nice birthday! Love the picture of the little 7 year old sweetie! Was it your birthday when the picture was taken?

BL, I would love to supervise Lani while she watches those guys dance!!!
oldguy, lovely goodies for Lani!
Puff, what an ordeal....
Lori, the lemon blueberry cake looks so good! You find the most delicious looking food!
Phyl, Lisa and any others that don't usually get much snow, this storm was a doozy!
Glad I wasn't here for this one, oldguy probably remembers...
The April 1973 snowstorm was a severe weather event that affected several states in the US, including Iowa. The storm was dubbed as Iowa’s ‘worst spring storm in at least 80 years’ by the Des Moines Register and Tribune1. The blizzard raged over parts of eastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin on April 8th and 9th of 1973. It brought heavy snowfall, coupled with 50 to 70 mph winds, which completely shut down traffic. Plows had been dismantled and the intense snowfall and winds caught everyone by surprise. More than 18 inches of snow fell in some parts of Iowa, with winds reaching 65 mph1. The early April 1973 blizzard left more than a dozen Iowans dead and killed countless livestock. Some parts of Iowa saw drifts as tall as 16 feet1. The storm’s toll was huge, 14 Iowans died in the blizzard.

Clynn - I was attending the U of Ia at that time. The storm hit on the weekend, when everyone was returning to town after spring break. The University shut down for 2 days - the first weather related class closure ever. Not because of students not in town, but because the faculty and staff could not make it back to town. I spent 2 days with a snow shovel at the east side dorms to get vehicles unstuck. We had 14 inches of wet heavy snow.

Puff... so sorry. Luckily, we live atop a hill, and know nothing of pumps of drains.
Jilltosa... the snowplow gathers snow for 80 feet (of the next door yard) before it dumps into our driveway. I can relate.
BL ... LOL

Lol Clynn and Old guy! I think that was the storm that hit Chicago on April 10 th! The snow was piled up in my drive way like that in Jiltosas picture and I got my car stuck! Had been to a late night meeting in Indiana and did not know this had occurred! Melted very fast.
Bl, you and Pip are a riot!
Puff, I hope you are in bed and sleeping! An ordeal for sure!
Eagleshope you had a nice visit with sil and fiancee!

We'll send some hippies like us your way when it's your day. Stay toasty, ;)

That April 8 - 9 1973 Iowa Blizzard looks and reads absolutely like a humdinger Clynn and og.
I do appreciate the advances in winter weather prognostication more now than 50 years ago. 8)
Not an exact science I get it.
It is not a quick spin up Tornado.
That Storm it's a coming put the plows back on. 2024. ;)
I can see from what I read why you both remembered that storm. :o
It is a stern stark hard cold hard fact reminder that cold harsh winter weather like this around the country does take peeps. :(
If you are able check in on human beings do so you are their bomb. 8)

And. . .I didn't forget Lani. I'm always johnny-come-lately. No bragging or trying to win an award - just sitting up now since 4 waiting for something good to fall into place.
With all the island greetings, flowers, and yummy calories Lani has to have got the feelings of good cheer from us all. Either that or we're envious and wish we could be back there.
Time for another tea - and a bit more waiting.

Oldguy, I love my beautiful birthday treats! Especially, the slippers, some call them flip flops, In Hawaii we call them slippers, because my mother and grandparents called it "slippas!" Sometimes if a child (keiki) is misbehaving you can hear an aunty or grandma calling out "where's my slippas!!" And the child goes running! Thankfully, I've never had a wack on the back of my legs with Aunty or grandma's slippas! ;D A little Hawaiian tale to share. ;D

Thank you Beakers, Puff, Tsk, Tig, Lisa, Clynn, Phyl, Kb, Karen, Eagles, Love my beautiful Hawaiian birthday greetings, cards .. Phyl love my beautiful cake....
Clynn, sweet kittens... Love the foxes on the roof... the photo was taken by a neighbor who had a camera. We didn't have one. I remember it was a little brown box camera and he was visiting my mother.... 1973 was our first year in our Kansas home... oh my what a snow storm that was.. Terrible photos of the blizzard :(
Puff, sorry about your frozen water problem. It's good they can do a short term repair until thaw. I pray warmer temps come soon.
Phyl, I can understand your feelings about Maggie this is her time.... Norman and Milo are almost eleven years old, and now after 5 years with us, this is the first year they trust me enough to want to sit on my lap. They've never sat on my lap, I think I've finally broken through and they are relaxed and trusting.... the beautiful graceful Red-crowned crane.... You got lots of snow! Beautiful pics... love the cardinal
Lisa, You got snow! ;D
Jilltosa, wonderful to see your posts I love my beautiful bird birthday card. Thank you. I hope you had a lovely birthday in spite of the situation you've been dealing with. Glad it may be resolved. ;D .... take care :-*
{{{Karen and Piper}}} You've got everything covered and ready for your cold temps... keep warm and take care. :-*
Eagles, thank you for my beautiful birthday card
Tsk, I was smiling at my neighbor taking our photos. We didn't own a camera, so I'm sure it was a fun experience for me.
Good night, I enjoyed reading everyone's post, thank you for making tonight so special.!

the trees; those rowdy cattle hands 'the starlings' sent back on the cattle drive---haven't seen them since ;D
BL hulakane dancers/ Lani LOL ; tks for the Van Morrison
KB yes. Snow can be deceiving; sweet video of little girl serenading the cows
Karen we're down to -1F last night and we let the faucets run a gentle stream; you did more for frost protection outdoors than we.

Phyl, wow, you are colder than we are! It's 5 here right now! The snowy Alps are stunning with the wind whipping around! I wonder what they will do in Grindavík when the lava stops, which it looks like it may have for now...Three houses/buildings destroyed. Maybe they can move that side of town to the other side... Volcanos are so unpredictable.
Puff, yes, a high of 23 here today! Sunday starts the big warmup! Showing 38 next weekend!
BL, love the Van!
Lani, I bet the camera was a Brownie Hawkeye! My folks had one, it is the first camera they had... This is what I remember it looked like:

LISA I live on a corner. My house faces the street that does not show up because of the snow. You have to turn at my corner. Frequently the plow driver would back up several times to do just the cul de sac and then leave the area by turning on the street that my house faces. So the unplowed side would remain unplowed for several hours.

Puff - What an ordeal with the pipes!
clynn - Oh my goodness, the snow from 1973. My brother was born Feb 8, 1973, and it happened to snow in New Orleans that day. The first time I had ever seen snow in the South, and what fun it was as a kid playing in it.
E4E - Thanks for the kind words on the snow pics. Glad to read that your SIL made her flight.
Lani - Sounds like you had a nice birthday. Yep, just a lil snow, but I see more may come Friday.
Phyl - We are finally seeing sun today. Yesterday was so gloomy How are the roads and streets in your area and around Nashville? Is everything closed down? We are currently at 20°, but real feel is 8°.
clynn - LOL, done with your one day free trial of Alaska! That cream cheese frosting sounds good. I love old recipes and cookbooks.

25 degrees now! Slight wavrm up Thursday and Friday followed by a cold weekend and then, some days back to highs in the low z70s! Quick 50 xdegre swings in temperatures are something! Not cold by everyone’s experience but Piper says it is cold running out to the out house! Pedicure this afternoon and return a script to Publix that was filled in error! Then home. Interview the house keeper this afternoon who had to reschedule!
Plants look okay thru the plastic. Will see next week!

Tsk, it's pancake here too! ;D
{{{Jilltosa}}}

Puff - At least you know what the status is with your pipes, as you described the problems really well. Good for you in how you are taking care. I know it must be tough without Ton to look into these situations. {{{Puff}}} Yaaay- double digit (plus side)temp for you today! :)
Clynn - Terrible winter storm back in April of '73 - that picture sure speaks volumes of the devastation.
OG - You were so kind to help with getting vehicles unstuck out of the snow during that time.
Tig - Frustrating for the snowplow dumping in your driveway. Seems like there would have to be a better way!
Karen - Yes we did have a nice visit with SIL when they stayed here again the other evening. They are safely back in CO!
Lani - So happy that you had a beautiful birthday with Mike, Sadie, Milo & Norman :-* ;D Love the story you told Oldguy about "slippas"! ;D
BL - Van Morrison :)
Phyl - Low temps! My cousin who lives in TN had told my mom about all the snow they received a few days ago!
I had a 'bone density' scan early this morning, and now I need to head out soon for my orthodontic appt. Beakers have a safe, warm day. Hugs for All :)

TSK I don't mind shoveling the fluffy snow; I limit my time and go out several times. I told my PCP that it is exercise. Our three snows last week were not fluffy ones! The last one I could not handle so I called the landscape people to do it. I did have some neighbors who did my front walk: they were a nearly 10-year-old girl, her nearly 7-year-old brother, and their nearly 10-year-old friend, a boy. I asked them if it was too heavy but they wanted to do it!!! A couple of days earlier, when I was shoveling a bit at the end of my driveway a young man from across the street, at the end of the cul de sac did walk all the way and said he saw me shoveling and wanted to help. (The man directly across the street was shoveling in the street.) As far as my neighbors across my driveway side of the street: they and I have different views about how the plowing should be done -- one even told me, rather vehemently, that snow should be plowed to my side "because I do not have a car." (That was the person who had been shoveling in the street.) I feel that the taxes I pay entitle me to the same city services my neighbors get. For decades it has not happened; after the alder became involved (and even told me plowing was not acceptable) about 3 years ago, it has become even more blatant! Saturday, after the snow stopped, the city did curb-t0-curb plowing first and many hours later they did a complete "rearrangement" of one hugh pile in the yard where 102nd "does not go through" (I did not take any photos either time because I did not think that would be a smart move). I could tell it was being done by someone "very senior." He re-piled much of the snow in my yard, at the corner, and pushed more into my yard along the side but at the driveway, he made sure no plowed snow would have to be shoveled! He pulled that snow into the street and then plowed it up in the yard at the corner of the driveway/curb. (When it is warmer I will have to go out with my camera!) The neighbors across the street may have been verbally told to expect a different plowing pattern in the future. We will see!!!

Good Morning Beakers!
I've been "North to Alaska" even in Feb/Mar and can honestly say I never faced anything like we had these last few days. The cold was the worst!
P

KB "say cheese" LOL
KAREN Busy day for you today. Good luck with interview. Where is your source for these girls?
LANI Awww first time breeders, successful. Now the hard part. ;)
CLYNN Meant to comment earlier about that cute ellie and ostrich. Also the recipes - bet from a church cookbook. I have mine from my church from the 70's!!
EAGLES Good luck on the bone density!
JILLTOSA I'm happy to see there are neighbors who will help :-*
PUFF I think it has been colder and for longer periods in some winters that I remember.
-
tsk Oh yeah - I remember one about 2 weeks long. But what I recall also/too is the worst snow. Not so much wind and freezing cold, but lots of snow. That pic posted reminded me of Lake Shore Drive in 1967. Short version, 23" inches in 15 hours, Jan 26 - Jan 27. That's when I lived in the Chgo. Closed down almost 2 weeks. Residents, as I recall because their priority was LSD and almost 10 days to open major roads. Mostly the people did side roads and sidewalks.
Then there's my side story. . .
Dec 26? 27? I flew up to secret marriage with Mike who was stationed up there in AFB, since abandoned and I forget the name. Big plan was to marry and I'd get $$$ as spouse to help pay for our wedding planned for 1968. Two Harbors 1/29/66 married, 12/31/66 accident by Canadian border, me broken ribs and splattered with lots of black & blue, VW totaled by a pack of wild dogs. We got clearance in Jan to leave, for Mike to fly back with me and take care of issues here. Two week special leave. He, my brothers, and dad took care of the snow duty.
He notified my parents of what happened, but when Mom couldn't find me to talk to me she panicked because she couldn't/didn't talk to me because she thought I was dead. So Mike called her and gave mom/dad all the facts even about our marriage.
While I was healing, the record snow started. Entire metro area stopped!!!!
They cancelled/recalled Mike from his leave. In '75 he took leave from me. :-\
Biggest snow resulted in big story. Sorry

That's absolutely hysterical kb. :)
A lot of snow in a lot of places that don't see a lot of snow ..

karen - I know if Mama is freezing, you must be freezing. Hope your plants survived.
Lani - I have a pic in the attic of that snow in 1973. It wasn't alot, but it was enough to make us kids who have never seen snow before happy. :) Awww, a new Royal baby!!
E4E - Hope all went well with your bone density, and orthodontist appointments.
jilltosa - I am glad to hear that you had some help to shovel.
-
PUFF I wasn't living here in '67 but see those pics on FB every winter LOL. I think I'm remembering the '73 storm. Wasn't that the one the got Jane Byrne hired as mayor? I may have dates wrong. Loved your postscript to the '67 snowstorm LOL
KB Hmmm Not sure I could agree with the kid toss.. ???
-
Yeah, tsk I know it was after I moved out here ('71). That was more of a stormy snow. '66 was quiet and big flakes and not icy? Probably '73.

Good Evening Beakers
A photo from this week in Iowa
(https://img-aws.ehowcdn.com/700x/www.onlyinyourstate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12391046_960727530631382_4669098885585217125_n.jpg)
Radar is showing some light snow in the area - not sure it is getting to the ground though. It got up to 20 today with some sun. Tomorrow is back to cloudy and chance of 1-3 inches of snow with high of 15. The roads lost most of the ice cover around town.
Back to work in the morning - we got about 90 snow shovels in on Tue. morning - most of the were gone by 3pm when I left. More snow blowers were expected to arrive today. We did get restocked on ice melt - so good stock for tomorrow's snow.

My Bro came by today and we watched a recording of a choral performance based on the Christmas truce in 1914. He agreed to take a large box of Mom's Christmas decorations of my hands too.
Camper and I saw The Boys in the Boat today. It was good. A bald eagle overflew our car on the way there... at about 40 feet up.
Back to tennis...SED

Eagles, I hope your appts went well. :)
{{{Hugs Jilltosa}}}
Kb, I tried to find out what happened to the baby thrown in the snow! ... that baby looked just a few months old.
it better be a doll or fake.
Puff, Thank you for sharing your biggest snow story. And then there was Ton ;D
Oldguy, I just posted after you.... beautiful winter photo.... thanks for the links. Take care.
Tig, a good day for you and Camper, time with your bro, eagle sighting, Boys in the Boat! :)
Good night!

Clynn - I remember my Grandma had a camera like that!
Tsk - Like the pancake gif this morning! Thanks for good thoughts for my bone density. They told me that my doctor will go over the results with me.
Kb - The one on the left! ;D
LisaG - Are you ready for a lil more snow on Friday? Our rain showers ended early this morning, but more for us this Friday!
Karen - Piper knows when its too cold to head out to take care of business! ;)
Lani - Thanks so much for Albatross info and the sweet chick picture - so precious.
Puff - Wow, quite a story! Your poor Mom was so worried for a while - but glad you survived that terrible accident. Thanks for sharing. {{Puff}}

E4E, we are supposed to get 1-3" more snow this afternoon but I will not miss my appointment at 10:00 this time! I just can't believe that it snows every time I have the appointment at the eye doctor! Tuesday, blizzard. rescheduled to Friday, Friday, blizzard, rescheduled to today, and just a bit of snow today! And the clinic is 1.3 miles from our house! Hope your tests come back with nothing out of order!
Lani, sweet picture of the tiny baby albatross almost out of the shell... Those rangers take such good care of those Albies. Bless them. I also worried about the baby thrown in the snow, but I am guessing it was a doll. No sane person would ever do that, Child Services would be on them like you know what. Love the cat watching the snow good night pic.
oldguy, beautiful picture of the snow laden tree. We had several pine branches break with the first blizzard, finally got someone to come and get them off the fence for now. Our insurance company cancelled us for the hail claims on the house and cars, don't need to have to file a claim on the fence so early with the new company! Good video of Claire and all the cats!
tsk, I have read that the '67 blizzard was the worst in Chicago history! I looked up Des Moines' worst, it was Jan 1, 1942 with 19.8" of snow. Here is an interesting article of the worst blizzards in American History: https://www.treehugger.com/worst-blizzards-in-american-history-1140776
Puff, harrowing story of your adventure. glad it worked out, Well, you both survived!
In Iowa we are playing a new game called..... where did the road go? The Crowley Lake Stone Columns, California created by Eons old volcanic activity.

Currently 14F High 34F light rain and snow, Low 14F . T he driving will be much more hazardous as rain turned to ice when it snowed covering the ice.
Thanks for the snow photos and updates; walk down 'Memory Lane'; Royal Albatross update and lall.
CLynn isn't this your appt. day to see eye specialist? Hope all goes well for you. :-*
Eagles hoping you have good results on your bone density test
Lisa a lot of closed businesses; streets ae a mess and the ice from last night makes this much,
much worse than before. And, more snow.

Another cold Minnesota day in the works..
tig - Did you happen to read "Boys in the Boat" before you saw the movie?
I did maybe 10 years ago and then saw the movie.
For me, the book was so much better...a great read if you haven't.
Reminded me too of I think tsk's recommendation of reading The Children's Blizzard.
Fabulous read as well...Dakota, and MN deaths due to the blizzard of 1888. Informative as well about weather predicting errors of the time.

LisaG your departure on the 21st is still looking like a green light weather wise as of today's forecasts. ;D

16 heading to 23 Mostly cloudy. Light snow tonight.
OLDGUY What a beautiful shot :o Sun was perfect. Claire has quite an imagination :)
TIG A good day all around. We really enjoyed Boys in the Boat. ( of course book always better LOL)
LANI I'm hoping snow baby was a fake as well. >:(
CLYNN Good luck today!!! I see you're coming up with a knitted cup cozy too :) Snowman - photo shopped?? How is it that your insurance company cancelled you for the roof damage?? :o Cool listing of blizzards. Read a book on the Children's blizzard. Technology and snow removal is so much more improved - not that it will stop snow but warnings and death prevention are more likely. Have never heard of the Crowley Lake Stone Columns How unusual.
PHYL Have never seen that collection before. Do you display it? 365 Brrr :o
-
I take it some were not amused by the baby being tossed into the snow.
I don't know. :-\
When we were little kids and my Cousins lived in Buffalo, NY my parents and us 3 boys drove up there for the long Thankgiving "weekend" and a huge lake affect blizzard hit my Aunt & Uncles area the day after we arrived.
It was like 40+ inches of powder snow with drifts on the upwind side of of the house above the 1st floor of the 2 story house.
Most of the kids (some very young) were jumping out of the 2nd story windows into the snow below by day 3 of the storm.
The parents were down below to assist if anyone needed assistance getting out of the snow .. none of the kids did.
My Mother who was deathly afraid of heights even jumped out of the window to the great delight of the throng of spectators (all now stranded in Buffalo and probably a little juiced up) down below.
No one got hurt except maybe some cold fingers and toes. It was an absolute blast and I still remember to this day like it was yesterday my Mom taking the snow plunge. 8)
After about day 6 or 7 my poor Aunt & Uncle were able to stop "entertaining" the masses as the roads had finally been cleared enough to return to their respective homes. As they waved goodbye to all I'm sure it was with great love but yet great relief. Besides I thing Uncle Jack's booze supply had been decimated by that point. ;D ;)

Yes, BL. I don't think that video was meant to be taken seriously, either. There are so many "When children are given to the Dad" videos that are very funny...this may have been one of them.
Furthermore, I do believe that Dads are needed for children. Who could disagree with that but I mean sometimes women can be overly cautious and Dad's in life sometimes provide the other side. This is what those funny videos imho are meant to show.
I also don't think that baby, real or not? was injured...just funny.
-
If it was a real kid .. and I don't know ..
1) I'm sure he was plucked out of that powder immediately and his Rosie little cheeks dried and warmed right away and brought right back inside.
Dad's in a short sleeve shirt after all.
2) In that huge puffy Panda one piece snow suit he was probably hot and well cushioned.
3) I don't see how the kid could get hurt essentially falling into air.
I watched other videos from that guy and his little boy and Dad looks like a very loving and doting Father. :-*
I don't think he would risk hurting his child for anything. His Mom was probably the one taking the video.
Dad's are just big kids and kids are .. well kids and they need to be kids when they are kids.
Call the police, lawyers, CPS and doctors .. yeah I don't think so. ::)
Was it the smartest thing in the world to do probably not.
Would I do that with my kid heck no. :)
But then again I've been buried in an avalanche and know 1st hand the feeling of confinement in the concrete of an avalanche .. this was air powder however.
When kids are old enough to do so and want to do so .. jump out of second story windows into air .. and the conditions below are deemed by the adults below supervising to be safe to do so .. I say go for it MOM. ;D 8)
I'll let it go now .. as they say - Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus. ;)

Good Morning Beakers

oldguy - Beautiful snow pic from Iowa. Be careful heading to work today. Thanks for the videos.
tig - Glad you got to spend time with your brother, and that he took some of your Mom's ornaments. Cool on the BE sighting!
Lani - Love your good night pic.
E4E - I would not mind the snow tomorrow, if we were staying home, but Jeff's dad is having a lil surgery tomorrow and we are going to be with him.
clynn - Love your coffee cup this morning. :D I hope you appointment is not rescheduled again today, since you are getting snow. Very cool snowman. Yikes on where is the road! The Crowley Lake Stone Columns are very cool, too. Oh no, the insurance company cancelling you?!
Phyl - I hope you all can get back to normal from all the snow and ice. Thanks for the 365, and the link to the RRP calendar. I need to get me a Decorah one. :D Cute collection.
BL - Thank you so much! Is my return trip on the 28th looking ok, too?
kb, tsk, and all - Morning :)
-
BL - Thank you so much! Is my return trip on the 28th looking ok, too?
I don't really trust any forecasts more than say 4 days out .. so I'll post up your return trip weather here on like 01/25/2024.
Hopefully you will have some sort of internet access while you're mobile in Mobile to read the forum ? ;D

Lisa, it won't snow until around 1:00, and they are only saying 1-3" so unless something happens to the doctor it's a go today!
Phyl, rugged life in the 365 today ... Thanks for Amy's blog! Your Norcrest collection is valuable! I looked it up on eBay, the teapot sold for $120, egg cup $50, wall pocket planter $300, salt & pepper $70, and that is just in the last60-90 days.
BBL, getting ready for my appointment!

Comment ala BL quote:
"Was it the smartest thing in the world to do probably not.
Would I do that with my kid heck no. :)
But then again I've been buried in an avalanche and know 1st hand the feeling of confinement in the concrete of an avalanche .. this was air powder however."
I remember two things from my "episode" with older brothers (older and should have known better) showed up at home and Mom asked where their sister was. Finally broke thru their smiles and confessed "We buried her in the snow at Vickers park."
Mom: Let's go right now! How could you do that!
When I was dug up they now were no longer thinking it was funny. From that day forward when they had to "take care of your sister" they were watched/quizzed more.
***An aside - I don't think Mom/Dad ever knew about the times they had to take me to the shows with them. They'd duck down in the dark seating and run away and leave me for usher to find and comfort me. And of course you must realize that they loved and picked all the scary movies.
When I was about 35 was when I tore up my ankle badly, had my first cast for 8 weeks. Kept passing out until they cut the front open so I could slide out. (Of course I no longer had a walking cast; had my first experience with The Stick.)
Ton took me to ER and luckily doctor knew the solution and cause. I had
claustrophobia, from my stay under the snow is what probably stayed with me. AND as I've aged it has gotten worse and worse. Just to illustrate, even in the weather (and always) I avoid boots and even socks - feel trapped and buried alive. There's even a CSI episode where Epps got buried in a coffin! OMG :'(
I've long since made the decision of cremation when I die. If I ended up buried in the ground I'd die a second death and haunt the people who did it to me.

I here you on the claustrophobia Puff, it a debilitating condition and I too have it somewhat.
When I was little maybe 4 or 5 my older brothers rolled me up in a large living room throw rug and left me there until my Mom heard me wailing and unrolled me. I think that's what gave the phobia to me. ::)
Needles to say the 2 older bros were not happy campers when Dad got home from work and rolled them both up in the carpet for longer than I was in there .. paybacks a bi...
-
BL - Thanks, and yep, will have some internet access while I am away. Lord, I would go nuts if I didn't. ;D
clynn - Good luck at appointment!
((Puff))

Lisa, next week sometime our highs will be in the 70s so Mobile should be as warm or warmer! Bl, Mobile has good computer services so Lisa will be able to access every thing! Lisa, you are too early for Mardi Gras!
There is an old saying, don’t throw the baby out with the dish water! I spent several years in the Abuse and neglect court in .chicago and posting of this type of video can be seen by folks who do not have good sense and these acts are repeated with poor outcomes. Not funny! Jmho.
Clynn, good visit today with a lot of good information! I have been to a retinologist and found the process very interesting! Prayers
Remember a Chicago Mayor being voted out of officedie to poor handling of snow removal! Was in VN for the big snow of 66 but my Dad saved the newspapers for me! What an event!
Boys In The Boat a good read!

Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Eagles, I hope some of the rain you got, comes our way. :)
{{{Clynn}}} I pray you get the answers you need to go forward... It'll be a long time before I can unsee that baby being thrown in the snow.... The Crowley Lake Stone Columns are stunning... Iowa Roads ;D
Phyl, thanks for nature video.... thanks for history of Kansas blizzard, I sent it on to Mike... beautiful front cover of Decorah Calendar.
{{{Puff}}} I hear you :( :-* I'll send you a pm about my phobia created in a very abusive way.
Karen, how did the interview go?
-
Tsk, the gal I interviewed and hired yesterday has been a house keeper for .dr. hall for 6 years! Coincidently she is a friend ofJackie, across the street!
-
Karen, did it go well?
-
BL You come from a very adventuresome family ;D Dad was definitely following the " Do Unto Others"...rule ;) ;)
Yes I think being rolled up in a rug would be very traumatic as well.
LISA What a pretty AM mug today :) Hope your FIL does well with his day surgery tomorrow.. :-*
CLYNN Snowman not photoshopped - Leave it to the engineers. ;)
PUFF YIKES Your siblings were kind of rough on you and now we see why you may have those claustrophobic tendencies. :o :o
LANI Seal Island pups ;D
KAREN That is how I would love to get a housekeeper - " word of mouth". Sounds like it should work out well for you.
Today was Tim's 7th day of a very bad cold and the second day of a fever not significantly helped by Tylenol. So off he went early to the Urgent care clinic in town - He has strep. Will pick up amoxicillin at noon...sigh. Here's praying.
-
Lani, yes it wentwell!

Have faith my Beaker friends some temperature 'moderation' is a coming from this 'Polar Plunge'.

I wouldn't break out the bikinis just yet, but it will warm up a bit. ;)
Try to stay toasty my friends. The days are getting longer after all. 8)
I see some brutal cold forecast Wind Chill Temps in Iowa particularly on Saturday morning.
-27° F @ Des Moines and -31° near OG. ::)
I'd let the neighborhood squirrel eat my Sat morning news paper with the 'Banner Headline' to tell me it's fn cold outside before I got dressed to retrieve it from the neighbors bush. ;)
Do be extra careful there.
That's no joke danger Temps and I ain't never ever been outside enough to tell you all.
This post's 4 images are Wind Chill Temps for the next 4 days at 7am EST.
2nd post 4 images are Ambient Low Temps at said date.
3rd post 4 images are Ambient High Temps at said date.

Low Temps 01/19 - 01/22.

BL, I'm surprised we didn't get any of the moisture from Oregon. Thanks for update.
The tree's going to be OK' | Maui arborist provides update on Lahaina's famous Banyan tree
Between 15% to 20% of Lahaina's famous Banyan tree has died and will need to be removed, but the tree as a whole is going to survive. Maui arborist Duane Sparkman spoke with Island News to provide an update on the efforts to bring back the old town's symbolic tree.

Lani, I am so glad to hear that the old Banyon Tree in Lahaina will survive! I am sure it will be a sign of hope for those who lost everything...
I finally was able to see one of the retina specialists at Wolfe Clinic. As I thought, there is nothing that can be done for my eye. The doctor said it was a stroke, a blood clot that went to my retinal artery. My right eye will eventually adjust to doing all the seeing. Right now I can see some with my left eye but it's not clear at all. and it's hard to focus because it's interfering with my right eye. He said that will go away in time and I will be able to see fine with one eye. The main thing now is to try to prevent anything from happening to my right eye. I had the echo cardiogram this afternoon. Hopefully they can determine what caused the stroke and we can keep it from happening again. It is what it is, I will get used to it eventually! You just never know when anything can happen!
It is snowing here again. I won't make any more appointments, so it will stop snowing. ;D ;D
karen, so happy to hear that you found a good housekeeper so quickly, and you know she is good or Dr Hall wouldn't keep her! You are doing very well at home!
tsk, oh no, poor Tim! Did he catch that cold in DC?
BL, love the rug story, your Dad was wise. ;D
Lisa, we all told Mom we wouldn't come visit her if she had no internet! LOLOL! Of course, we were kidding. Dad was the one who was on the computer, so they did have the internet already. It's the rural kind, not great but at least its something... :D :D
Puff, oh my, your stories! I cannot imagine being buried in snow...so scary!

Lani, super good news on the banyan tree! The arborist worked hard to save it!
-
some bounce
((( Clynn ))) so sorry. You have a great attitude...
Lani - Thanx for the good news on the Banyon
TSK...(( Tim )) ouch
My friend luckily tested herself today and let us know she is positive for Covid. We will postpone the lunch we had scheduled for tomorrow. It is too bad she went to a wake/funeral yesterday when she didn't feel well IMHO. Fingers crossed for the other attendees.

LANI Great news on the Banyan tree in Lahaina. ;D
CLYNN Did they recommend temporarily wearing an eye patch over your left eye until the right eye takes over? Maybe echo will tell if you need any meds to prevent another??? No idea where Tim got the cold/strep. Interesting tour of some of the national parks. I would do 4 or 5 trips and hit all of them ;) ;) LOL

karen, good :)

Okay. I'm ready for these frigid temps to warm up ! Hopefully, the weather gods will hear me. LOL
Oh my {{{CLynn}}} I'm sadden over your news. You have a fantastic attitude. I was thinking the same as Tsk about the e ye patch. Praying that the echo will reveal the cause of the stroke and therefore some preventive meds. Begs another question---how about driving your car? What did your doc say about that I wonder.
Great tour of our National Parks--lots and lots to learn. ;) Awesome photos of Iowa roads. :o
Lani great news on Lahnina's old banyan tree, tks for the news video on it; sweet Royal hatchling yesterday.
{{{Puff}}} how dreadful to have brothers teat you like that.
TSK Y uck! Strep/a cold. I hope Tim gets better soon. The
Norcrest collection has been sold and if this snow ever melts it'll get shipped---I may have to give a partial refund of purchase price
if this takes much longer. I acquired it when Mom/Dad moved to Mo and someone else' s boxes were mixed with theirs---it wasn't labeled so my Ps didn't return it. They think the movers had 'set it aside' for themselves and so it goes. ;D Cute sheep dog this AM
KB ah poor street kitty, it's tilting it's head, might have a 'cold' in it or much worse. :-* :-*
BL great news for Lisa next week ! I missed the 'baby snow toss ' video---likely I wouldn't have been much amused
either. Sometimes it's difficult to tell what is really going on---
Eagles cute boy/girl snow people
Lisa it's still snowy with ice and the streets and roads aren't clear on iota! Maggie's out of her special Hill's Science Diet kidney formula. Jim will have to ddrive to Smyrna and get a box from PetCo---as i't s not sold in our neighborhood; vet doesn't carry it anymore either.
-
karen - I know, I would have loved to go to Mardi Gras, maybe next year! Yay, on getting a housekeeper.
Lani - Thanks for the pics from Seal Island.
tsk - Oh no, just read that Tim is sick. I hope the meds are kicking in and helping some. Thanks for the kind words for FIL.
BL - Thanks for the weather update.
clynn - Oh, I am so sorry to hear that a stroke caused the eye condition. Hoping and praying for good results from the echo cardiogram, and they can find out what caused the stroke. Saved that link for the National Parks to Pinterest.
tig - So sorry to hear about your friend having Covid.
Phyl - Hope Jim can get to the store safely and get Maggie her food.
Have a good night, everyone!

A round-up before dinner:
'Lisa and sending prayers for {{{your FIL }}} tomorrow; thank you Jim appreciates the 'good wishes' for tomorrow
Tig so sorry for {{your friend}} and the CoVid, apologize for missing this while reading.
Karen Jim and I were just talking about Mardi Gras and visiting Susan and Sam for it---too bad we're drained $$$ for it. Maybe next year.
Sounds like some good news on the housekeeper and some good references too. Hope this works out for y'all

Lisa, good thoughts for your fils procedure tomorrow!
Bl, I have never been to MuscleShoals but it sounds like I have not missed anything! Have driven north to south in the dtate and like the topography and trees along the way!
Tsk, sorry about Tim’s illnesses and hope the meds have kicked in. Maybe fix him a hot tea with lemon and honey!(ugh) . Saidto soothe the thriat! Magic potion number?
Clynn has a magnificent attitude and a strong will to stay positive, do what she can and, Carry On! I think, when you do that there is no room for complaining! Not easy!

Tig - Nice that your brother took some Christmas decorations. :)
Lani - Thank you, but I won't know about the results of the bone density scan until I see my Dr. I have my check up with him the first part of March.
Clynn - Hope all went well at your eye appt today. I hope the snow wasn't too much for you to drive to your appt. Clynn, I think that was an actual baby tossed into the snow. :o
Just read what you said about your eye - so sorry your eye isn't what it was, but hopefully you will be able to do all your normal everyday stuff!
Phyl - Thank you for all links - I really do appreciate it! Hope Jim is feeling better - at least a little bit. :)
Bummer that it is getting harder to get Maggie's food bought!
BL - You are so good with your weather updates - great that you are giving LisaG a little peak at what the weather will be. :)
Tsk - You are so right about the book is always better! Although I know you are responding to Tig, I found that out years ago when I read the book of 'The Shining', THEN I went to the theatre and watched the movie. :-\ Book is better.
LisaG - Best wishes for Jeff's dad having a surgery tomorrow. Hopefully roads will be drive able.
Puff - Wow Puff - you had older brothers!! That is what has made you so tough! :) :-*
BL - Yikes - your story of claustrophobia :o ::) I hear you on that one as far as being put into a situation where you feel as though you can't breathe.
Lani - We got a little rain last night and early this morning. I think we will get more rain tomorrow.
Karen - Glad you got a girl hired that you can hopefully rely and trust!
Tsk - Poor Tim! Thoughts & prayers that he starts feeling better now.
Lani - That is great news on the Banyan tree. :) :)
Tig - Good that you and your friend postponed a lunch for later on down the road! Hope she feels better soon.
Beakers have a good evening - keep safe - stay warm

Karen, glad to hear you have a housekeeper to help. You're doing great! :)
{{{Puff}}} I'm thinking about you being buried in snow. sending you warm hugs.
Tig, sending prayers of healing and comfort for your friend with covid.... you and Camper take care.
BL, I didn't know you're a licensed arborist. It all makes perfect sense now 8) ... I know I'm tempting fate. But, we need more moisture. The junipers need a good soaking here. I have two small juniper trees we will probably lose if we don't get more rain.
Lisa, sending prayers for your FIL.
Phyl, One of our walking buddies, uses Chewy prescription, it's cheaper on autoship... sending prayers for you, Jim and Miss Maggie.

Phyl, wicked storm in the Alps, I had to look up a Capercaillie! So many things we learn in the Beak Room! A blue Ford! It's -3 here, high today 7. Sunday starts the warmup! Right now showing a high of 40 on Feb 1 and 2! I'll believe it when I feel it! I had an overnight case kind of like that one in the first pic, it was a Samsonite. It went with my Sunbeam hair dryer!

Sweet picture of Aryana! And the beautiful eagle on the Flyway! BTW, I have been getting Harley's prescription food from Chewy for several years, it's on autoship! I have driven several times since we got home from Christmas, I just have to be a little bit more careful because I can't see as much to my left. My nose is in the way.... ;D
Lani, I hope you get some rain for your Juniper trees...can you water them? My pines are still holding snow and Ed's friend came over with his chain saw and got the broken branches off of the fence, He took a pickup load away, still has another load to get. It looks like we got a few more inches of snow yesterday. It was supposed to be 1-3". Turned out to be 4". The news said that pushed our 10-day total to over 24". Wish I could send some your way...
E4E, The Shining! I remember reading the book as I was walking through the mall in Springfield IL! I was mesmerized and that is where my love of Stephen King's books started. I have every book he has written, in hard cover. And yes, I also think the book is always better than the movie! Ed drove me to both of my appointments yesterday, it was snowing in the afternoon and until my eyesite levels out I will let him do any snow driving! Both appointments were very close, just a little over a mile away. We are lucky, we are close to a huge medical area, including 2 hospitals!
tsk, the doctor said I could wear an eye patch if it felt better, but it was not necessary. I may try something when driving, when I cover my left eye things are perfectly clear, I just miss that left side peripheral vision... They do have an eye patch that fits over glasses, I may try that.
karen, it is what it is, I am just trying to make the best of it as there is nothing I can do but adapt! Complaining or whining would just make me feel worse... ;D ;D
Lisa, I can telll you are really looking forward to your trip!
Thank you all so much for your concern over my eye issues, it's priceless to have friends like you Beakers!
Cork, Ireland

Good mornin' Phyl I can usually find you sharing the beak with me. Nice way to start our day, isn't it?
Got far behind yesterday - hoping to find a left over day's hours. Guess not!
Lani clynn Crowley Lake Stone Columns! Those Columns of formation are fascinating. Something new I added to my bucket for when I'm in the territory. This year I added Iowa's rollercoaster roads. Hope to see/drive one of them when I'm out there for ATF. Something new, sight for this year.
BL Had to be a fun memory of seeing your mom take the leap. ::) ;D
My Mom memory would have to be the time she walked around a couple weeks with a black eye because she decided to join my brothers' baseball game. Caught the ball without the mitt, wham into her eye.
Ahhh, beautiful downtown Bozeman. That's the jumping off point for snowmobiling in Yellowstone. I knew about it being a college town (without a McDonald's at the time, a rarity). Not many places to "make" trouble. Almost had to behave.
Phyl My fault - left the impression my brothers were bad, mean to me. Somewhere they took up the challenge/duty of taking care of their little sister. Lost oldest Rodney in 2006, 65 yrs. Also, Edward passed 2020, 71yrs. Younger sister, Rita, 64 yrs, in 2004. Not a good longevity record. The Big Guy upstairs says he's not ready for me yet???? Can you tell my Mom had a unique set of names she picked from.
New way of thinking hit me a couple days ago. Since my birthday is the 8th -- I'm not 80. That was the celebration 2 weeks ago. Now technically, I'm over 80. :-*
BL I also loved your map of the parks. Think it's 3 I've missed there. But you completely didn't cover one of my fav roads 89/89A Starts at Glacier N.P. then down thru Prescott/Sedona to Mexico. I should take the time to count the Park areas in total. Got most of the well-known, but I bet Lani would have her favs. I'm guessing maybe a dozen N.P. total there?
clynn Lots of concern and prayers from all of us here. And love!! I'll be back later.

11 degrees high 13 brrr We got snow last night and still lightly snowing - maybe less than 2".
BL You are a licensed arborist. :) My Dad loved to learn about trees. They owned 40 acres and built on house on it for retirement. ( Still maintained their home) Thanks to that we all now know black walnut trees. LOL He/we used to collect them - he would take them in his workshop - don his gloves and use his vice to open them and carve out the meat so Mom could use them for her black walnut cookies LOL What a labor of love. ;) Are the llamas a business for you? Agree, KAREN has a great sense of humor... ;D
PHYL Interesting how you acquired the Norcrest collection. Old luggage - certainly does remind me of what we used to schlepp around with. ;) ;) Interesting brain article...makes sense.
KAREN How many days for the housekeeper?
LISA Tim's feels much better this AM. Finally got some sleep.
EAGLES "In these parts" LOL, we have a system arrangement with hospitals called MYCHART. I just about get all the blood work , scan results etc before the doctor does. :o If necessary, he will call. I can also communicate via an e-mail about questions and he ( nurse) will get back to me the same way. - Saves the phone call.
LANI Funny good night pic.
CLYNN Good opening pics this AM What you call and overnight case, we used to call a "train" case.. ??? Mom used her hairdryer like that til she died . It was kept on the top shelf of the front closet of their colonial home and set on the dining room table where she sat under it. I so admire you for the humorous approach you are taking to your eye problem. You set a good example for us all :-* :-* Let us know how that eye patch works if you do try it for driving.
Beautiful setting for St Colman's cathedral.
PUFF You are a wonderful lunch companion as you have so many stories to tell. ;D
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY, ALY

tsk "Wonderful lunch companion" aka "talks a lot"
Actually (here I go again) As we get older I believe our memories help us relive more of the events that made us what we are. Good or bad this is what we are and where we are. I'm having a great time reminiscing.
I just wonder when I'll go. And, I end up where? I'm not done ya know. ::)

Phyl - Love good night pic, is that stained glass? Thanks for the 365, and the pic from Flyway.
BL - Where did this snow come from that I am getting this morning?!?!
E4E - Roads are terrible here this morning. We are getting quite of bit of snow.
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c8/9e/c3/c89ec34dca7da6e59100cb4d0a72d4ce.jpg)
clynn - Yep, a lil excited for the trip, even if it is to stay in a hospital with Mama. Beautiful pic from Cork, Ireland. I too was wondering how you drive with the eye, but it sounds like you are doing great!
Puff - Morning :)
tsk - Glad to hear that Tim is finally feeling better. :D
Lani and all - Thank you all for the good luck and wishes for my FIL this morning on his surgery, but it has been cancelled because of the snowstorm we are getting today. He will need to call next week and reschedule.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Aly!!!

tsk, something funny, I originally had 'train' case in my post but thought maybe no one would know that term! So I changed it to 'overnight' ! LOLOL!
Lisa, oh no, surprise snow! It can really mess up plans, that's for sure! It cancelled my eye appointment twice and started snowing for the third! That looks like quite a bit of snow! I just stepped out the front door and snapped these. The sun is shining, our house faces west so it is in the shade until the sun gets overhead, the back yard is full sun!

Puff, I agree about the memories! When my high school friends and I get together we remember a lot of the old days and laugh a lot! Same when I am visiting my Mom or my Aunts, the old times always come up. The memories are good...
tsk, I ordered some eye cover things that fit over glasses. found them at Amazon. I think they will do the trick for now! There is a big house on Ashworth Road here, they must have 50 or more black walnut trees on the property. An elderly man lived there and he always put a sign out in the fall 'Free Black Walnuts'. They were everywhere, the trees in front covered most of the street. He had to go to a nursing home about 3 years ago, someone bought the house, totally remodeled and I see it is for sale now for $2,450,000. No more free signs either. Pictures from the listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5135-Ashworth-Rd-West-Des-Moines-IA-50266/859608_zpid/?
PS, I can't stand the taste of black walnuts!

Lani - wish Aly a Happy Birthday, and hope she can have as much fun as the bear above.
LOL, I just started the autoship feature on chewy after ordering from them forever and I was surprised it saved me 18 dollars a bag....
Clynn - so sorry to hear that.
will be 10 days of these horrid temps come Monday when we finally get what's called a January Thaw.
Used to several of these polar plunges lasting a few days each every winter.
But this one has just been too consistently long.
Poor Ollie man. We play catch down the stairs. He just bops it back to me at the bottom from the top, so I do all the work :) But mentally stimulating at least. We do play other ball games....sorry that's all we got.
Sweeping 3 doorways just let him out often as well it very cold temps. Flurries is all but greasy.
Owning a cat instead of a dog in these temps obviously easier.

Bbbrrrrroouunncce
Yep .. minus 1 as I left for the Y, where the pool was a balmy 86!
I picked up 2 Amazon pkgs. at Cub and grabbed some salads for dinner.

And a howdy back to you Lisa. Stay warm - Enjoy!
Morning too to you tsk Tim
tsk clynn I called mine a carryon; and suitcase too, both white. However, last 40 years at least - It is now nada, nothing do I carry on but me and purse. Unless it's more than 3 hours, then I might carry reading material.
Bummer! Lisa. . .Hope your next appt goes smoother. Waiting is not good.
OK - Story time!
Went to Hawaii Island for conference/meeting. Connected through San Francisco.
Leaving plane in SFO, patiently waiting my turn out, the anxious yo-yo in front of my row of seats pulled down his overhead case and clipped me in the cheek. Didn't think it hit that hard, but a small spot of blood on my lip. On connection, longer leg, food offered. First bite into sandwich and piece of my tooth fell out. Idiot!!! Not the sandwich - the yoyo. Not a virgin tooth; it had already had a root canal. No pain, bleeding stopped before we landed in Kona. Got to KOA room about 11 p.m. First thing always is call the travel insurance people. Knew I was dealing with a newbie because it was now about 3 a.m. on mainland time. Nothing to be done until back to home.
My dentist has tried for maybe 10 years working to save that tooth. Now it has been coming apart by the piece. Had an appointment for extraction in July. But, darn it, because of my ER trip and stay at Good Sam, and mostly because of medications, that had to be cancelled for 6 months. It also has been delaying work on my hip. Had dental appt scheduled for end of December, but I got that bad/nasty/ugly 3-week cough. At least the extraction is now rescheduled; January 29. Hallelujah - and soon to be Amen
clynn $2.5 million = must be very expensive walnuts. ;D

Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Thank you Tsk, Clynn, Kb and All for Aly's birthday wishes! :-*
Hi Eagles, karen, BL, Baz, Tig!
Kb, love the bear! ;D ... you and Ollie take care.
Lisa, where did your snow come from? Sorry about your FIL having to change appts. :(
Tsk, glad Tim feels better....
Puff, you truly can't beat your fav 89/89A. We've driven I-70 from one end to the other. I know that interstate by heart.... No matter where we've driven checking out Mike's road jobs, he's always stopped at the historical markers for me... I'm a Louis and Clark fan, and I would love to follow their expedition route. I enjoy your reminiscing thanks for taking us along on this memory trip. I went through what little photos I have of my childhood this week. Our family didn't own a camera at least I don't remember having one available. But, I remember my stepdad borrowing a polaroid or buying disposable cameras for special days, like birthdays, and such. Take a pic and print it.
Clynn, love your morning pics... the best pic is your welcome mat! Even though there's 3' of snow, your welcome mat is inviting to all! Brrrr it looks cold at your home. I need more coffee! ;D.... your posts about your eye and how to deal with it, will be so helpful for others that may not have the ability to share their own concerns... Mike sends best wishes too... when Mike's granddad died, we found 2 large wooden crates filled with old black walnuts in his basement. LOL! ;D ... great looking home over 2mil! Homes in our golfing community are now going for sale between 1.5 mil and up! That's shocking to me. When we bought our home here in 2013 a 4000sq home right around the corner from our street was going for 900,000+ and sat on the market two years at that price, now it's going 2.5mil..... Geez, we thought the $900 was too much! It does have a 360 view at higher elevation and all the bells & whistles. But still too much....
Phyl Beautiful Flyaway cam and Aryana pics.... big storm on nature video.... thanks for science article. I need to read that when my brain is awake.
-
clynn - You have quite alot of snow. Beautiful house on Ashworth Road.
kb - It is definitely easier having a cat when it is snowing, especially if it is an inside cat. I remember the days, when we use to have to go shovel out a path in the backyard for the pups to go potty.
tig - I bet that balmy 86 felt good.
Puff - Good luck on your extraction on the 29th!
Lani - I do not know where all this snow came from, cause BL surely didn't tell me it was coming, or did he? It started snowing around 5am, and it is still coming down.
-
I only started my travel forecast for you on the 21st. ;) :P
Here's today's forecast ... ;D
https://www.weather.gov/phi/winter
-
Okay, BL
Mr. Arborist man!...glad to know. in 2019 I asked the city to plant some trees across the street from me.
Reason: A 2002? or so storm took out so many trees and they didn't replace them thereby creating a very hot street.
They did so in 2019 in May...right around my birthday I remember....7 or more young trees planted. Locusts, cherry, and more.
Today I just watched the city pull up and trim many lower branches of these "young trees" that are doing just okay since our multiple year droughts of the last 3 or so years..but they are still alive.
For me, it creates also a buffer from viewing apartments that used to have trees and I was so happy that they were planted.
I doubt they are arborists, but rather "forestry" city employees that are told what to do.
For me, I read as much as I could and the advice was all over the place. They didn't remove dead branches but just healthy lower ones, thereby creating less privacy and I do wonder about the health of doing so much. Wasn't more than 1/3 of the tree but close.
The apartments nor city didn't put water bags around them when first planted, nor watered them but some how they all made it.
although I know winter is best for pruning most and cutting down trees, I am concerned for these young trees.
What say you?
Of course I know I didn't provide probably the info you need. But, in general I see it's a good time to do it, but the amount of cutting by NON Arborists concerns me.
These trees were only planted because of me. I consider them "mine"...LOL
-
some bounce
(( Puff ))
KB "Get off my lawn" LOL I would consider them my trees too! Good for you...
I heard about this today and ordered a copy for my step daughter family and one for their school library.

LISA I'm now due for some tea - as your picture reminded me - and sit with my next puzzle. Finished the 4th last night LOL More snow for you ;D Do you even have a shovel? LOLOL
CLYNN We only had 2 additional inches this AM so easier to snow blow. You have some good size piles in your pics. That is one very modern home. Imagine that pool when you can't even use it all year long. I could never figure that out in the Midwest. Best not Swiffer your floors in that house in your "birthday suit" despite the trees all around LOL Yes the black walnuts are an acquired taste. Worth a lot of money tho...Their roots kill a lot of other plantings if too close.
KB Guess we could change it up and have the attitude of that big bear if we ever see ourselves down on the ice - like pretend that is what we were going to do anyway LOLOL Cool rescue with Ruby
PUFF You need to write a book..... 8)
LANI/PUFF Don't laugh. I had thought the same thing - It could be $$$$ walnuts. Wonder what would happen if they had those cut down ( a shameful task) and sold the lumber.
BL How much would the black walnut be worth ?- see post above this.
LANI My Dad had a pipe like that ;D ;D
TIG Great video. Nice for you to order it.
-
tsk - I had to literally "laugh out loud" at the "Do you even have a shovel?" We have shovels, but I don't shovel. I might not do it right. ::) ;D Jeff is on his way out the door after he eats for his third time today to shovel, and will clean off the cars again. It looks like we got a good 4 to 5 inches.
BL - Thank you! I guessed pretty good, cause your map says 4-6" for me.

Unfortunately Nada Tsk.
Tsk you really can't sell the lumber from a Black Walnut tree because the saw dust is toxic to animals and humans.
You can use a home wood mill, but you still have to be very careful around that saw dust.
Lumber mills won't touch it because they usually sell all the saw dust to various places for various uses.
Again it is also toxic to the mill workers so they just don't want to deal with it at all.
We took down one of the last dead Black Walnut trees in our area in the mid 90's.
https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/terrestrial/pathogens-and-diseases/thousand-cankers-black-walnut-disease
Even using chainsaws out in the open air we wore face masks and goggles while cutting it up.
My friends father had a home wood mill and he took two 8' lengths of the main trunk to mill into planks.
He made some kitchen cabinet doors for his wife after the wood had cured/seasoned for a couple of years.
They were absolutely stunning BTW. :o
Unfortunately he forgot my warning about working with the B.W. wood and got sick as a dog after sanding it without a mask on after like 3 years of it being felled. ::)
His son, our friend took the bottom round -or- flush cut of the tree (about 2 feet high x 3 feet round) and made a salad bowl on a wood lathe from a 'hunk' of it for my Mom.
With the warning don't ever put real salad in it or ... ;) :(
I still have it. I'll post a pick of it later if I can dig it out. :)
-
Hmm, I have black walnut baseboard in my entire basement. A patient of mine got it from an old bank in downtown Minneapolis..gave it to me and we used it...I love it. Dennis up the street from me, now 87 using a nail gun tapped it in over our then new carpet.
But, it's very old and I relish the fact it came from a 100 year old plus bank.
-
There's no danger from the 100 year old "cured" wood planks what so ever.
But if you ever strip it, sand it or cut it I would still put a mask on. 8)
As long as you Chris and Ollie Man don't tend to get down really low and lick the baseboards you should be ok. :)

kb what your towns tree guys did sounds totally appropriate and safe.
As long as they survived the drought conditions of the past few years the trees will be better for it come Spring.
They're 5 years old now so they are "estabished".
To prune off the lower "hanger" branches is beneficial for the main canopy of the tree in the long run. 8) :)
-

Noted...would never do, but still noted. Thanks.
Thanks on the info of my across the street tree pruning.
My concern comes from this context: They are not arborists. The trees were planted originally by sub-contractors, Bachman's nursery in fact. In the past my city so called tree guys have made errors.
It seemed like an awful lot of removing, but I will cross my fingers and hope for the best.
I couldn't reach my hose to water them myself. If it reached, I would have.
-
kb the fact that those 'new' trees across the street survived the drought without any assisted watering is a good sign.
"lollipopping" the younger tree's in the winter will give the trees there correct canopy shape when they get older.
On the lower branches of a hardwood tree the general rule of thumb when pruning is any branches that go straight out or are hanging down get pruned off.
The water and sugars that come up the main trunk go to the main canopy and are not "drawn off" by the hangers, suckers and straights. If that make sense. :)

makes total sense to me..Scott used to tell people to cut their suckers off their tree and threaten to do it himself. Not our trees. Neighbors.
I probably should cut one straight out branch of my Maple in my front yard...it runs to my roof..not there yet. Scott's boss cut off many lower branches of it early on. After Scott was catastrophically injured at work. One is left...
I just am conflicted between privacy and health of the tree I guess....My maple is now 20 years old so not so young, LOL
-
I here you. A lot of people don't want "prune up" their trees because of the view shed aspect of them, but in the long run it's better for the longevity and health of the tree.

I re-looked at that branch I spoke of and in fact it isn't perfectly straight out, but rather it inclines up to the sky but heading towards my house.
I've been trimming off lower hanging branches off it as I mow...
Ultimately, I'll have to make a decision when it gets closer to the house.
My maple, fortunately, is very healthy, knock on wood.
Scott wrapped the trunk for the first several years/winters...and it has been pruned...it's just the one branch I'm hesitant about as it heads towards the roof
I do love her though.
and, Privacy is very important to me...for obvious reasons and when I bought my house many trees obscured the apt. complexes across from me.
My row of arbors were younger, fuller, and not yet eaten by rabbits, nor injured by ice.
Eventually, I will have to decide about them.
I'm hoping to die in this house so hopefully all of it will survive till much later!

Lani - I too had a big smile at clynn's digging out of the welcome mat.

LisaG - Hope your FIL procedure went well today. Sending hugs for all of you. You sure are getting a lot of snow - great picture!! Just read that your FIL's procedure was postponed due to weather. Thank you for letting us know!
Tsk - Hope Tim is feeling a little bit better today. I too have a 'mychart'. I have the results, but a note from my Doctor says we will go over the results at my next appt which is in March. Having mychart is pretty awesome! :)
BL - what you said to Karen! Lol ;D
Lani - Cute night pup & kitty!
Phyl - Like your Friday gifs! Brrrr Swiss Alps in Nature 365! Gorgeous photo of BE! Darling little hummer brooding in her nest. :-*
Clynn - Cute pictures & gifs! Stephen King is a great writer! Wow, you must have quite a nice collection of hard cover books. :) With your exceptional attitude, I would bet that you will do the best that is possible {{{Clynn}}} Wow, good picture of your snow!!
Puff - Awe, I didn't know you've had 3 siblings pass on already. So sad to hear that. :o :( It is wonderful how you keep adding to your bucket list! ;D
Something came up! BBL!

Happy Birthday Aly!

Lani forward to Aly our Happy Birthday best wishes. :)
Has she kept her power on during the dreadful OR weather I've been hearing about ?

BL Thank you for educating me on black walnut - I stand corrected and knew I went to the right source for the answer.. I had been misinformed. Had no idea it was so toxic. Glad Dad didn't get the inclination to do anything with it other than the nuts. I never knew that about how branches are trimmed. Our city is big on tree trimming, I will need to watch next time. You are a wealth of information. Thanks
PHYL Chili is perfect for tonight. I should make some but just finished two batches of chicken soup LOL
-
LANI/PUFF Don't laugh. I had thought the same thing - It could be $$$$ walnuts. Wonder what would happen if they had those cut down ( a shameful task) and sold the lumber.
BL How much would the black walnut be worth ?- see post above this.
Unfortunately Nada Tsk.
Tsk you really can't sell the lumber from a Black Walnut tree because the saw dust is toxic to animals and humans.
You can use a home wood mill, but you still have to be very careful around that saw dust.
Lumber mills won't touch it because they usually sell all the saw dust to various places for various uses.
Again it is also toxic to the mill workers so they just don't want to deal with it at all.
We took down one of the last dead Black Walnut trees in our area in the mid 90's.
https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/terrestrial/pathogens-and-diseases/thousand-cankers-black-walnut-disease
Even using chainsaws out in the open air we wore face masks and goggles while cutting it up.
My friends father had a home wood mill and he took two 8' lengths of the main trunk to mill into planks.
He made some kitchen cabinet doors for his wife after the wood had cured/seasoned for a couple of years.
They were absolutely stunning BTW. :o
Unfortunately he forgot my warning about working with the B.W. wood and got sick as a dog after sanding it without a mask on after like 3 years of it being felled. ::)
His son, our friend took the bottom round -or- flush cut of the tree (about 2 feet high x 3 feet round) and made a salad bowl on a wood lathe from a 'hunk' of it for my Mom.
With the warning don't ever put real salad in it or ... ;) :(
I still have it. I'll post a pick of it later if I can dig it out. :)
The totally dead Black Walnut Tree that we cut down in Montvale, NJ in 1993 was in the back yard of the family's home for over 70 years they told us. It was about 60 ft high with a classic canopy shape for it's type from what we could tell from the skeleton of it's former self.
http://texastreeid.tamu.edu/content/TreeDetails/?id=52
It was near their deck so it had to go as it was coming apart badly and was a safety issue.
They and us were sad to see it go.
But some of it's main trunk wood went to good use as I mentioned in my previous post.
I found out years later that Pete my friend made from the Bottom Round 3 salad bowls and a handful of custom rifle stocks that he made good money on.
One bowl went to my Mom, one went to his Mom and the other one went to ..
This is what I found out many years later ..
Pete had found out somehow where we had taken the tree down from and gave the last bowl to the Mom of that house and he said she cried because her father had planted the tree before she was born and as kids she and her siblings used to play in a tree fort that he made for them in it.
She said to Pete that she felt like he had just handed her back a piece of her Father. The circle.
Trees are like giant old souls that see everything and only speak their wisdom when the wind helps them express it.
I hated to take a tree down unless it was absolutely necessary.
I don't do tree work anymore myself because it's a younger man's than I's dangerous occupation.
I'm very happy that I lost no digits nor appendages during the years I did it.
Chainsaws, height, rope and wood chippers don't give you boo boos. :)
That exact Black Walnut tree still lives on long after peeps thought it was gone.
The holes and black stain on the bowl are the rust stains from the iron nails that held fast that 1st wrung up to that tree fort.

Happy Day Beakers! :)
I have 36 pages to read to catch up on the news in The Beak!! Oh my... when will I get to do that? I hope all are fine. :-* Fingers crossed for all! I'm just stopping in to say hello. I will try to read a few pages of posts tonight. I don't know how much I will get to catch up on though. I know I have missed birthdays. I wish a happy belated birthday to all I missed! :)
My "greats" have been having lots of winter fun - learning to ski in Steamboat Springs, CO, and making snow angels in their own front yards, and such. Lots of fun to go around for all.
Zippo and I are well. Zippo is enjoying improved health - better than in a long while. She had a significant health scare a couple of years ago, and it has taken this long to see her overall recovery - as much as she has been able to at her senior age. She is enjoying significantly improved overall health. I'm so glad for her. :-* :-*
I am still walking, though I didn't walk Wednesday or Thursday this week. I walked 39 minutes today. It was a gorgeous warm day here today. Much colder temps are coming in tonight, and over the weekend, before a major warm-up mid-week this coming week. I follow the weather across the nation, and in many countries, so I am aware of the wild swings and severe weather many are enduring. ((Take care, Beakers!))
I have been busy, NOT at my computer, and that is why I am so far behind everyone's news here. I am sitting down now to try to catch up a bit. But it will take me a while to read all I've missed. I have to say that it has been a bit liberating not sitting at my computer for hours each day, but I have missed knowing what has been going on with everyone here. I hope you are all okay, and I will be reading, bit by bit, to catch up on all the news here,
Take care, All. :-*

Hi Beakers and Happy TGIF evening! Hope you are all warm and cozy In your nests by now! Speaking of which, the little one in swfl has spouted pin feathers and is eating all kinds of things from the pantree! M has kept the food coming done a great highway clean up of rabbits, turtle and opossum that came in contact with a speeding auto and were destined to spend eternity blending in with the concrete! Bany seemed ti enjoy this as much as fresh. Fish!
Had a nice day today . But on the cool side! Cold over tge weekend with a skight warm up Monday and then highs in the low to mid 70’s for 5 days! Wish I could share wit you but I do not want to cause a flood of melted snow!
Happy Birthday to Aly! Hope she had a great day with Dewey and friends!
Tsk, I am having the housekeeper once a week, every two weeks! Could change this if I need ti add days, I guess. I have cancelled the hha on Monday and Wednesday and will cancel all the other 3 days when the agency finds her another placement! She needs the income! She works mornings for someone else on Monday and
Wednesday!
I can call them when I need a driver for appointments.
I have not driven since I went to the home and plan to take a short spin in a day ir two and see his it goes! As I have told a few
Of you, I am another beaker besides clynn who has seen a retina specialist!
Since I have dry macular degeneration gone haywire there is nothing he can do. He said I am legally blind and cannot drive. My Dr. explained I am legally blind in one eye and can do daytime driving in known areas.I cannot drive to Atlanta! I asked if that meant a drive to Chicago was out too and he laughed! This went bad at the home and I thought it was the tv! If the left eye stays operational, Great! Now you know! Complaining, whining and crying will not fix it!
Time to take Piper out before the freeze sets in! Oh btw. The sun patients I left out have bitten the dust! Poor things were not well before the cold.
Seds

Good Morning Beakers!
...
karen, it is what it is, I am just trying to make the best of it as there is nothing I can do but adapt! Complaining or whining would just make me feel worse... ;D ;D
...
Thank you all so much for your concern over my eye issues, it's priceless to have friends like you Beakers!
Clynn, hugs to you! :-* Your positive attitude, today, and every day, is awesome!! :-* :-* I hope some others who need it will catch it!!

BL Thank you for educating me on black walnut - I stand corrected and knew I went to the right source for the answer.. I had been misinformed. Had no idea it was so toxic. Glad Dad didn't get the inclination to do anything with it other than the nuts. I never knew that about how branches are trimmed. Our city is big on tree trimming, I will need to watch next time. You are a wealth of information. Thanks.
To eat the nuts, or the flesh of the nuts as it where.
Hence from Dad's vise with gloves on are safe to eat.
I've eaten many B W nuts guts while foraging over the years.
Flat rock base with a rock overhead thud - splat - instant protein.
Pip & I always have our heads on a swivel when we find them in the Fall however because they are also a favorite of our local Ursus.
Black Bear.
How exactly they consume them is a mystery to me personally as I've tried to see them consume them.
They are not using rocks to smash them open as far as I know like monkeys.
If they are we're moving. :)

Good mornin' Phyl I can usually find you sharing the beak with me. Nice way to start our day, isn't it?
Got far behind yesterday - hoping to find a left over day's hours. Guess not!
Lani clynn Crowley Lake Stone Columns! Those Columns of formation are fascinating. Something new I added to my bucket for when I'm in the territory. This year I added Iowa's rollercoaster roads. Hope to see/drive one of them when I'm out there for ATF. Something new, sight for this year.
BL Had to be a fun memory of seeing your mom take the leap. ::) ;D
My Mom memory would have to be the time she walked around a couple weeks with a black eye because she decided to join my brothers' baseball game. Caught the ball without the mitt, wham into her eye.
Ahhh, beautiful downtown Bozeman. That's the jumping off point for snowmobiling in Yellowstone. I knew about it being a college town (without a McDonald's at the time, a rarity). Not many places to "make" trouble. Almost had to behave.
Phyl My fault - left the impression my brothers were bad, mean to me. Somewhere they took up the challenge/duty of taking care of their little sister. Lost oldest Rodney in 2006, 65 yrs. Also, Edward passed 2020, 71yrs. Younger sister, Rita, 64 yrs, in 2004. Not a good longevity record. The Big Guy upstairs says he's not ready for me yet???? Can you tell my Mom had a unique set of names she picked from.
New way of thinking hit me a couple days ago. Since my birthday is the 8th -- I'm not 80. That was the celebration 2 weeks ago. Now technically, I'm over 80. :-*
BL I also loved your map of the parks. Think it's 3 I've missed there. But you completely didn't cover one of my fav roads 89/89A Starts at Glacier N.P. then down thru Prescott/Sedona to Mexico. I should take the time to count the Park areas in total. Got most of the well-known, but I bet Lani would have her favs. I'm guessing maybe a dozen N.P. total there?
clynn Lots of concern and prayers from all of us here. And love!! I'll be back later.

Puff, one of my nephews (the younger son of my Mtns Sis), went to college in Bozeman, originally on a football scholarship. He gave that endeavor up after his soph year. Playing that sport, that is - not college. LOL. There's lots of ways to get in trouble in a college town anywhere, McD's or not. LOL. He graduated with a double major, but primarily a Fine Arts degree, with a few extra special awards and honors to go with, and makes his living as a professional photog, but spends his days mostly on the snow, in the back country, and on outback forays, ice climbing, and wilderness camping, hiking, and skiing in the wild and such - much of it around Glacier, and the surrounding national parks. His wife, too, who is a web designer. I attached a pic of their dog at one time there, after college days - in 2008 - biting a sign on one of their trail outings. LOL! He was an incredible dog, and hilarious, who always would "bite" every sign on every trail, don't ask me why - he was not an aggressive dog by any measure, but "signs" were something he had to dominate. LOL!! What an incredible trail dog, I'm sure BL's Kopje and he would have similar skills. He would howl like mad at night with any wolves and coyotes around - a regular thing where my nephew and his wife lived at the time, in Kalispell. :)

I'm back - hubby needed my assistance with something and then I made us some dinner; baked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy & green salad (no bread).
Kb - Too cold! I bet your little Ollie man is looking forward to warmer temps!
Tig - Sounds like a good salad dinner!
Puff - Awe, that is too bad about your tooth, but at least it will finally be taken care of.
Lani - I hope your Aly had a beautiful birthday. :)
BL - Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the wood - so much that I never knew about.
Phyl - Yummy chili dinner! :)
Tsk - Yumm!! Wish I could have a bowl of your chicken soup! ;D
Baz - No worries - check in when you can. Good for you in taking care of stuff that you need to do. So happy you & Zippo are doing well. :-* :)

BL, Thanks for information about the black walnut. I did not know it was toxic.. Mike's granddad had two black walnut trees on his property. I don't remember if he ever mentioned it. I'll have to ask Mike... I think it was Monday & Tuesday Oregon lost power. No internet Tuesday. Thank you for birthday wishes for Aly.... gorgeous black walnut bowls... the circle of life. :)
Phyl, nice comfy dinner and cozy good night pic! Thank you birthday wishes for Aly.
{{{Puff}}} I'm sorry about your three siblings. :-*
{{{Baz}}} great to see your post and know that all is well with you and {{{Zippo!}}} :-* ... what a hoot about the sign biting dog! LOL!!
SED Eagles Thank you for birthday wishes for Aly.
Thank you everyone for Aly's cards and birthday wishes. She and Dewey had a nice day. She went looking through antique shops for a small dining table with a couple of chairs. She received great news that she would get a bonus for working for Payson Community Bridges which will go towards paying for her masters degree! ;D
Good night!

Phyl - Cute morning Caturday greeting. Thanks for the 365. We got quite the snow fall to yesterday. Alot more than I expected.
Lani - A perfect way for Aly to spend her birthday, so glad she had a good one. And, yay for her bonus for working for Payson Community Bridges.
BL -It is a wee bit nippy out there this morning!
E4E - That is my kind of dinner, yummy!!
baz - So good to hear you and Zippo are doing good. Will wave at you when I zip by tomorrow on my first stop in Savannah.

Lisa, love your good morning Siamese kitty! Are you like me, I leave detailed instructions for Ed to follow when feeding the cats. I even set the food out with stickers on what day it is for...
Phyl, chuckling over the cat butt funny! Oh that pregnant hairless cat! Wow, the bison in the 365, looks so cold! Wonder if they just wander around in the snow, maybe they eventually find a place to huddle... -9 right now, high today is 5. Tomorrow starts the WARMUP! 24, 35 for 5 days, 34 for 4 days, 37, 37, 38. Of course there will be changes, but hopefully not too much!
Lani, hooray for Aly, a bonus is always good and I am sure she greatly deserves it. I imagine she is very compassionate with her patients just by the way she hates to let them go... Did she find a table I wonder? Now we know she is an antique furniture lover! Love that sleeping puppy! Sleeping, Sam & Sophie!

E4E, Erin and family came over again to take care of the snow for the five houses here, we had pizza. After all, it is Friday, Kelsey always has pizza on Friday night! Bella spent the whole time with the kittens, she just can't get enough of them. Eventually they started hiding from her!
baz, glad to hear Zippo is going good!! And thanks for the Jimmy Page bit! Crazy about the dog and the signs! I agree, your nephew's dog sounds like he would have been right at home with BL and Kopje!
karen, have you had a hard freeze? I like the new plan you have for yourself. Although I don't quite understand 'having the housekeeper once a week, every two weeks!' It's nice that you can get the extra help when you need it, that is a comfort!
Puff, I can't imagine my siblings being gone...
tsk, you are sleeping later these days!

Have you ever been there?

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
BL Thanks for that beautiful story about the black walnut bowls. :'( They are beautiful pieces of art.
BAZI Thanks for stopping in. Good news from your end of town. ;D Great story about your nephew and his love of the outdoors. His dog is a wonder!!!
KAREN You have made some good decisions as you find greater independence in your home. A gradual weaning off is good and what a wonderful option you have of calling them if you need a ride. I also see a retinal specialist - about 5 years now with " epi-retinal constriction" in my left eye. It's like a scar on my retina. Mimics macular. It has been stable and if it worsens, surgery is possible. Life goes on.
LANI Congrats on Aly's bonus :D...Hope she didn't lose too much in the frig with the outage. Fun way to spend her b-day ;D I can't even do that cute pup pose when I'm awake LOL
PHYL Funny AM Caturday pic ;D Cat pics funny ;D
LISA Still cold here too but sunny 5 degrees :o You'll be glad to "get out of town" tomorrow ;) What cutes pics of Sam and Sophie :)
CLYNN Yes I have been sleeping later on days when I don't have to be anywhere. LOLOL It throws me off tho. :(
I would love that gorgeous cat table. WOW

Good Morning and Happy Caturday!
Should have said, house keeper once every two weeks! We have had several hard freezes including last night! Warms up to 40 something during the day! This cold spell will leave Monday and the highs return to the seventies Tuesday for 5 days! Tropical compared to the weather in most of the country!
Bl, when a B.ack Walnut tree is cut down and removed from a property, how is the wood disposed of? As toxic as it sounds, it probably cannot be burned or turned into pulp.
Lisa, no snow or ice here so a little spin in the car will be safe! You be careful with your snow! Very pretty looking on FB!
Tsk, sounds like your eye condition is stable or has been! good! Saw a puzzle on line that is the front page of the New York Times and thought you might want to try thar! Think it wouldbe hard without colors! Tim better?

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Clynn, sweet pics of kittens... No, she didn't find a table, she found a couple of fun bowls.... Aly is my antique hunting pal, that's why we love Pine. You can't go through a town in Arizona, New Mexico and not find an old vintage shop. I'm sure there's a lot of mom/pop antique shops everywhere . When I posted in Scottsdale I talked about the Town Dump in Cave Creek that we explored.... ;D ... How's Harley doing? :-* ... {{{Erin and Sydney}}} they are so super!! ... fun Caturday pics. ;D
Tsk, I hope Tim's feeling better. Aly doesn't keep much in her frig... glad your eye condition is stable.
Lisa, safe travels while running your errands across the bridge.
Phyl, love the great Bison! ... OMG! The poor pregnant mama! Though, I'm trying not to laugh. :-X
{{{Tig}}} :-*

Aly, since Lani got the cake, I got you these!!! Enjoy these lemon blueberry cookies! They are soft and chewy lemon filled sugar cookies bursting with fresh sweet blueberries and a crunchy sugar coating.

It's Caturday :)
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/20/7a/ef/207aefff405e9a0da985d009cacef320.jpg)
Karen - You & Piper have a nice day! Nice that you will be getting a little warmer temp in a couple of days. :)
Baz - That pic of your Nephew's dog biting the sign is too funny!! ;D That is a great story!! ;D
Lani - Glad Aly had a nice birthday and had a chance to go browsing for a little table & chairs. So wonderful for Aly to receive the bonus and of course well deserved!!!! Congrats!! ;D
Phyl - Cute street cat Bob! Massive Bison in a blizzard - thank you for 365. Lol! your Caturday post! ;D
LisaG - I know you will leave Jeff & the kitties well-stocked with stuff while you are away! Safe travels for you tomorrow - please do be careful out there. :-*
Clynn - So nice that Erin & Sydney came by again to help the neighbors. I'm sure the neighbors are so grateful for them!! Pizza sounds great. We might have pizza later - not sure yet what we will be having when watching football later! ;) Darling pic of Sam & Sophie sleeping. Lol! The kitties try to hide from Bella. ;D
Hi Tsk :)
Tig - Hopefully you are staying nice & cozy indoors! :)
Kb - That is such a darling vid of the little boy singing!! :)
Hi Oldguy, BL, Lori :)
Beakers have a nice day :)
-
clynn - Wow, the cat table...gorgoeus! Fluffy on the cake ;D Adorable pics of Sam & Sophie! Yes, I am just like you with the detailed instructions to Jeff on the kitties, but I also say, come over here and see....this is how I do it! ::)
tsk - Ooo, you are much colder than me. It was 24° at 6:39am, with a real feel of 11°. We are now at 25° and the real feel is still the same. I will be definitely looking forward to some warmer temps once I hit the road.
karen - Thanks for the kind words on the FB pics.
Lani - Thank you. We drove a lil slower on our errands today, as some roads were good, while others still has snow from where it drifted.
Lori - Those cookies look delicious.
Puff, tig - Afternoon :D
-
KAREN Don't know if you remember or not but last year I did a 1,000 piece one in blacks and whites LOL One of the hardest puzzles I've done. I don't drive at night anymore unless in town and not far. It's hard to read signs in unfamiliar places as the words are distorted. Often have to close the bad eye and use just the good one ;) ;) Like CLYNN says, and you as well, you just adapt over time.
LANI Triplets ;D Tim's doing much better. Thanks.
LORI Now those of us who didn't get a piece of cake got to have a cookie which I much prefer over cake. ;D ;D
KB What a precious little boy ;D
EAGLES You gave us an assortment of kitties this AM :)
LISA In years past with Lucy and if I was away, the list was a mile long for Tim. He made his own checklist easier to follow LOL 19 degrees here now but wind is not too bad and sun is shining. Don't forget to wave to KAREN when you get close to her LOL

Yes Lisa, wave at the intersection of I75 and 10! I will throw you some beads! Lolol! Actually since 75 veers west
Wave about 10 miles past the sign!
Do be careful on your drive and remember leather legs! Tuesday will be a good warm up day!
Good luck to your mother on the surgery!
Clynn, meant to mention the cat table as well! Great looking! No cat here but I would love that table.
Tsk, I cannot read street signs either. Maybe that is what the gos is for!
Several break downs today, microwave will not start and the sliding door on a library style cabinet I have in the kitchen fell off the track and a glass shelf fell! I got the door back on but now I cannot open the other side! Will wait for help! Looked oytsine and I think there is a dead bird on the front walk! If not a bird something shiny black that looks like one to me! Perhaps I should go back to bed before something else happens! Actually the sun is shinning brightly and Piper is kinda of snoring as she takes her afternoon nap!
Tsk, I do remember something about that black and white!
Lori, I have eaten 6 of those lucious cookies with my afternoon coffee! Thanks!
-
tsk - I would have thought by now, as many times as I have gone away that Jeff could have made a checklist, but nope. I will wave at karen too, along the way! :D
T40 - Many thanks for the videos.
karen - I will pop on here when I get closer to let you know I am waving at ya! ;D
I want to get up and leave early, so heading to bed soon.
Have a good night, Beakers!

Lani, I looked up the Town Dump. looks like a fun place ...but it ways it's permanently closed! What a shame. I wonder what they did with all the stuff! I would love to dig around in there!
https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g31187-d2415187-Reviews-The_Town_Dump-Cave_Creek_Arizona.html
karen, tsk, I probably won't drive at night anymore, not that I did that much anyway...
I was looking for something in my purse and ran across this. Mom wrote down the directions to the Eye Clinic in Evansville, IN. I told her we just needed the address, that we would use the navigation in the car, but she kept on writing...
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/60/83/48/608348ee559fa1abe314f66f568e2f77.jpg)
T40, great videos! The Maine Coon transformation is cool!
kb, what a sweet little boy singing 'every little thing's gonna be alright'...
Lori, those cookies for Aly look delicious!

Lisa I hope you read this before you leave---prayers to St. Christopher for travel mercies while you're gone, there and return home. Sending prayers for your mama and speedy recovery. What a comfy and warm kitty this AM
CLynn I believe the bison do huddle, in a circle faces inward. I believe the article I've linked in my post has some info. So glad you'll not drive at night---it's just that you'll be safer. What a Godsend
your Erin/Sydney are to you and neighborhood. LOL Sam/Sophie hiding from Bella- eventually they'll understand, I'm sure. :o the blonde wood cat table. Peace, Love, Cats all there need be.
{{{Puff}}} I have wanted to see UK and Europe all my life. Unless Jimmy wins the Tenn State Lottery? --- However, should I ever be so fortunate to do so---I'd want to go with you! :-* ;)
Tsk LOL your AM Caturday. Glad Tim's better I do recall you mentioning your eye condition earlier. Shame on me for not thinking of asking about that. :(
Karen I understood what you said about 'the housekeeper'. So glad you can get out on your own when you want. I know you will---do take care. Sounds like the perfect puzzle for Tsk. Bet she could snap that together in no time!
{{{Tig}}}
Oh my goodness Lani those Maine Coon kittens. :-* The PG Sphinx ---so funny and yet. Just perusing the shops is fun in and of it's self. IMHO
Hi Lori really yummy bb cookies for Aly.
KB sweet video of little fella singing--- next video, the wisdom that can come from children ;)
Eagles enjoyed your AM post---such an eclectic grouping of kittens
T40 tks for the links. Will have to finish up watching later. As always, I'm sure they are great.
CLynn your mom's driving instructions ;) Ginger w/ cut-ou paper bag...the hole for it's mouth is purrfect and so funny ! Tks for link to 'Town Dump' that place is a wonderland for folks like us. Truly, too bad it's closed
Gonna stream 'Maggie Moore

Pack is playing soon on Fox! Raining in SF and I hope they can win but I do not know. The 49ers are oretty good! Will stick with the Pack!
My handwriting used to be good but it is awful with vision problems!
Iam sitting on the sofa! I was going to work on the broken cabinet but I decided to wait for help! No, the shelf does not appear to be broken!
To the game!

{{{Lisa}}} please give Miss Fisher's favorite fan a big hug for me! We'll be thinking of you and your mom, sending prayers for her surgery... safe travels :-*
Clynn, I'm sad for the family that owned The Town Dump, that's too bad it's closed. :(. ... We can't drive at night either.... awww, you can tell your mom was concerned and wanted to make sure you're taken care of. :-* ... "no dogs, not even little ones" LOL!!! ;D... love the ginger with the mask! ;D
Karen, Packers lost :( ... hopefully, your housekeeper can help repair your cabinet.
Tsk, Karen, Mike and I can't drive at night anymore either. I wouldn't anyway, but Mike definitely can't.
Phyl, is that a cat refrigerator? Love the cat bag. I did a double take when its head moved.

Lani, we have the Prairie Albion Antique Mall in Albion that I always go to when I am there, I love seeing what's new since I was there last, and I always find something to buy! Mom used to go with me but now it's too big of a place, she just can't stand and walk that long.
(https://www.downstateil.org/images/uploads/2018/08/7592_9ceadf471c97b7393d04eeae55e194bc.jpg)
karen, hope you and Piper got to sleep without any more incidents!
tsk, yes, Mom and her directions...Mom's handwriting was even prettier when she was younger, but Dad's handwriting was beautiful, I don't know how that happened with the sketchy childhood he had! Dad always wrote our birthday checks, $1 for every year old we were. One year Mom wrote mine and I could tell immediately... and I protested. ;D
Phyl, found those pretzels on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/WeareDippinChocolate/listing/541028345/gourmet-navy-and-rose-gold-chocolate?utm_source=Pinterest&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1506951139095&epik=dj0yJnU9N3pDOUF2ZzhFeElQbEg0Mm1rM2k3aFRZNDB3OGdnS2MmcD0wJm49R0lOYWZCTDFVSzRSWGp5OFg0bUtjZyZ0PUFBQUFBR1d0RFQ0

-2 degrees Brrr Heading to 22. 4 degrees tomorrow YAY BUT 4" of snow for Tues???
KAREN Went to bed at the start of the 4th quarter hoping for the best. Not to be :(
CLYNN Used to do something similar to that colorful "feeder" of material until I read not to - sigh...Wonder what those puffs are made of? Good to hear Dad had beautiful handwriting. Am not sure how common that is for men. Certainly not in my family LOL My Dad was an engineer. As he got older his perfect printing got smaller and smaller. We used to tease him about it. What to say about Ozzie :o :o ??? ???

Currently 7F High 29F sunny, Low 7F
Tsk The chocolate is probably tinted with food coloring. Blue peanut butter would be a bit much. Waffles look yummy.
Lani Yes. that is a cat-shaped fridge. I've found cat-shaped beds, toilets, bathroom basins, and more.
CLynn antique malls can be such fun and it's always easy to find that 'that something' one can't live without. LOL
KB interesting 'bit' about black bears, cute 'blonde' cub
I don't drive much at night myself--the oncoming head lights bother me, a lot.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Tsk, thinkthe Pack will be a force next year! Do not know what happened to them at the end of the game but the 49ers were not as impressive as I thought they might be! So far, the Ravens may have it!
Lisa must be on her way to Savannah! 26 degrees here this morning! Just a tad chilly on this otherwise bright sunny Sunday!

Tsk, did not do too much yesterday following the alien invasion so things are currently stable! Have some Waterford Crystal in this cabinet tho so anxious to get the problem resolved! Will wait for help!

The Everly Brothers: My favorite song of theirs:
"On the wings of a Nightingale"
Don and Phil were born in Jan/Feb so a reflection time.
https://youtu.be/9Fq2jQLpZGA?t=2 (https://youtu.be/9Fq2jQLpZGA?t=2)
Just wait a sec and skip any advertisements.
Their close harmony style influenced The Beatles, The Hollies, and Simon and Garfunkle.
Addendum: This song so much reminds me of Scott. He loved them too and we listened to their CD's (LOL at the time before the change in technology) often.
I am happy now...meaning happy to be alive every day. But not that Happy feeling that comes with living with your soul partner...only a memory now.
Another vid of Simon and Garfunkle with the Everly Brothers in St. Paul, MN 2003 acknowledging each other.

Watched the whole thing and that was fun. Esp. the speeded up ending.
I have to wonder how one learns the trade to maneuver that big bad boy into port!
Loved the spin to back in.
Scott and I once spent 3 days in a hotel on the canal. Wish i remembered the name of it.

Lani, yes, that is an acorn cup rain chain in my morning pic yesterday! Isn't it pretty? A bit pricey though: https://www.rainchainsinanutshell.com/products/acorn-cups-rain-chain?variant=32015084388429 Erin was watching the Chiefs vs Lions game yesterday, yay for your team! A close game! I bet Mike was yelling! Great camping picture, beautiful place with shooting stars!
E4E, a nice afternoon with Mom & Sis, perfect Sunday! I talked to both of my sisters yesterday. one in Texas and one in Oregon, and also Mom in Illinois! My Sunday visits! We were military kids, so we all scattered when we left home...
karen, I am still chuckling about your sweatpants falling off! Piper can't un-see that! ;D I do hope you had your big whites on! Now get some smaller sweats ordered, you have lost all that weight and deserve some new ones that fit!
kb, love the bear with her adorable cubs!
tig, fascinating video of the Munson in the fog!
Lisa, glad to hear you are having a good trip, and Mom is all a flurry with her convention! What fun!
Phyl, hoping Maggie is feeling better this morning... The kittens are doing fine, they had another dose of Bella yesterday, Sophie played with her, Sam hid under the bed. :o

Good orni g Beakers! As tbe song goes, Monday, Monday! Up early ready to wave atLisa and throw someearly Mardi Gras goodies! Piper thinks itis too early and cool at 30 degrees as we start a warm up for a week followed by a cool down!
Phyl. How is Maggie this morning?
Bpught a replacement Microwave yesterday and it will not arrive and be installed until February 10th! Got it at Home Depot and no one in town has it! The orice is outrageous! Up 400 dollars over what I paid in 2017! I cannot decide how important it is to have matching appliances! Currently, the stove, microwave and refrigerator, all on the same wall have distinctive round,silver colored handles and no others do! When the house is sold I think it would be odd for these not to match! In the mean time it is on order!
Off now to wait for Lisa to drive by!
Saw thatcicada article! Interesting! Kitties are frowing? Atleast Sophie is! Lol

Glynn, Bella isgrowing some long, shapely legs! Lloking tall!

LISA Thanks for checking in last night. Shorter drive today and give Mom a hug from us all.
KAREN LOLOL Now we can tell how much weight you have lost! Think splurging for a new pair is in order :) Is your microwave the type that is mounted over the stove? Boy, that is a long wait.
CLYNN Little bird on the post must be the general ;) ;) Both the Chiefs and Lions won yesterday in their respective games. Some good football. ;) "Another dose of Bella" ;D ;D I'm on my 5th puzzle - a 1,000 piece I just opened yesterday. It'll take me several hours to just sort it. ::) ::) Cancelling my shawl ministry monthly meeting today at my house as our icy road conditions are iffy. Oh Great!! Illinois, Indiana expected to see both broods of cicadas :o :o

Lori, hello! Yummy looking cake for oldguy!
Phyl, where are you...
Hayes Scriven Photography · Last One In -The John J. Boland came in through the Superior entry this morning, marking the end of the shipping season on Lake Superior.
The Tug, North Carolina came out to break ice in the entry and provided a great double shot. As the Boland passed through the entry the Captain came out and said: "Hello, I would give you a salute, but my horn is broken." I am sure that will be fixed during winter layup.

There was an amazing Eagle rescue in Iowa recently, T40 probably already shared this story, but here it is, posted January 21st. This injured Bald Eagle was at that same spot for 3 weeks so I was thinking it's mate must have been feeding him. I hope he can be rehabilitated and released back at Spirit Lake. The bald eagle, named Dickenson, will be transported to another Raptor rehab in Carroll, Iowa. I think that is SOAR!! Prayers for you Dickenson
Found an UPDATEposted 15 hours ago VIA Facebook Forever Wildlife Lodge & Clinic
Dickinson Eagle Update: he broke his wing in the right spot. As he was down for so long without care the break had set. The location on the wing of where it broke & healed was in a place he could still recover to be released as the wing is still functioning. It will take a long time to tell. He’s still in the ICU at SOAR gaining back weight. Continue to pray for him in his recovery.❤️
All the other raptors sent are also in ICU & maintaining at this point as well.

Video link and story below
https://who13.com/news/iowa-hunters-help-rescue-an-injured-bald-eagle/#:~:text=SPIRIT%20LAKE%2C%20Iowa%20(KCAU),ran%20across%20the%20bald%20eagle.
SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (KCAU)– A rare close encounter with a bald eagle led two men to assist in a once-in-a-lifetime rescue.
“December 7th, I was out deer hunting,” Dickinson County resident Wade Woltman said, “and I kind of just drive and check out valleys looking for deer, and I ran across the bald eagle. It was about 20 yards in, I took a picture of it. I actually sent it to my friend saying I can get close to a bald eagle, but I can’t get close to a deer. I kind of made a joke of it.”
Woltman is an avid hunter and has seen many eagles in the area in the past few months. He thought nothing of his close encounter until three weeks later, when he returned to the area with one of his friends.
“It was just sitting there, and he had told me that was the same one he took a picture of, so we both kind of thought it was odd,” Dickinson County resident Roger Linn said. “And so we turned around and we went back there and actually got out to walk towards it a little bit, and that’s when we noticed it had a broken wing.”
Not able to sleep at night knowing the bald eagle was in need of help, Linn search for people that could save it.
“We made the calls that we thought we’re supposed to do as far as the DNR, Bird Haven,” Linn said. “It’s a federal bird, so I was having a hard time finding somebody that could help me. I knew we couldn’t do nothing ourselves. We were able to get a hold of a place called Raptor, they introduced us to Amanda.”
“I received that call about 7:45,” Amanda Hase with Forever Wildlife said. “It was about a two hour drive to go up there and the roads weren’t the greatest, but you know, of course, I said if he’s still up there, I will come and get him.”
Amanda Hase has been rescuing birds for roughly five years and has rescued around 20 eagles in that time.
“Upon arriving on the scene he was still in the same spot, and then we kind of came up with a plan,” she said. “I had them assist in holding the lights to kind of manipulate the eagle to not really know what was going on, and then obviously was able to capture him pretty quickly.”
“Watching this lady just grab a hold of its legs was awesome,” Woltman said.
The bald eagle’s left wing was confirmed to be broken. It is currently being held in Sioux City by Hase.
Both Linn and Woltman said that to meet a bald eagle up close was amazing.
“It’s a once in a lifetime thing for me,” Linn said.
“It’s exciting,” Woltman said. “I mean again, you’re never going to get that chance, so you gotta take it.”
The bald eagle, named Dickenson, will be transported to another Raptor rehab in Carroll, Iowa.
Hase recommended people reach out to their local DNR or a wildlife rehabilitator if they find an eagle on the ground, and to avoid getting close to it.

I have read posts from Caturday and yesterday, and so far today, but I still need to read them from the 2 weeks before!
Waving to All the Beakers!!
Clynn, I love the pics of Sam and Sophie - sleeping, and playing with Bella. :-* They are so cute, and I love their names!! :D
Karen, I hope Lisa grabbed those beads you tossed her as she drove by! I have multiple sizes of clothes in my closet, too!
Lisa, I hope the last leg of your trip went well, and you are safely at your mom's now. I think I heard a long distance horn honk the other day from you, whizzing past... Got heavy foot?? ;D ;D Just kidding... ;) :)
Lori, thanks for the story and the good news update on the Bald Eagle, Dickinson! I think that's what I call a Lucky Break. I hope it has a successful recovery and release! :-*
Lani, I missed your birthday, and Aly's, too! I hope you are both still celebrating, though. You have said you like to celebrate yours all month, so you have more than a week left to do so! :D
I pulled for the Lions, and the Chiefs, this weekend. YAY!! And, whew!! :D
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LANI!! :) :-*

Taking a break from cooking. Since meeting was cancelled, made some fruited jello, pasta frijole soup, and a cheeseburger tater tot casserole for dinner. Bacon on sale - so now need to cut up, wrap and freeze . Two loads of dark clothes done! I foresee some quality time spent on my puzzle this afternoon. ;) ;)
KB Love the lion :o
CLYNN LOLOL I was watching the Detroit game so I wondered.... ;) ;) Otherwise would have gotten right by me 8)
I think being a tug driver would be great fun.
LORI Thanks for that uplifting report on Dickinson. He's in good care. God bless the deer hunter - right place - right time.
LISA/KAREN ;D ;D ;D
LANI Great greeting for OLDGUY ;D That is such a great system they have for making sure the Royal egg hatches properly and successfully. LGK looks perfectly contented ;)

No word from Phyl! Not good!

BL :)
Lani - I was happy for you & Mike on the Chief's win last night! I felt bad for the Bill's kicker though (toward the end of the game when he missed that all important Kick).

Spent much of the day moving snow - got the deck cleared and half of my side walk. Used the new power shovel - it did very well, got about 15-20 minutes of solid run time on a full battery charge. Snow had compacted down to 20 inches deep at the deepest points.

Howdy Tuesday! Good Morning Everyone...
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ca/92/96/ca92965a28706fb459cd8b86f236f6d8.jpg)
Currently 43F cloudy High 52F rain, Low 43F
Snow's about gone ;D
Lisa I hope you're at your Mom's by now and all's well.
{{Karen}} Got your PM, tks. :-* Here's your answer.
Thank you all, so much for your concerns.
Maggie spent Sunday night in the far reaches of the closet in room where the computer is set up. She had been trembling noticeably. I
took her temp via her ear and she was at 90F. Normal is 100 to 105F. She spent some time on a towel covered heating pad set on low for a while. But later retreated to the closet. I don't think she's eaten much. When the temps were so fridged she was eating 4 of the Hills petite cans a day---suspect she was trying to pack on some pounds quickly . Jim has set the thermometer on 70F at night as PetMD suggests this is the lowest temp cats can tolerate.
Trembling/shivering is also an indicator of fear/ severe pain, kidney issues and some times heart and other issues. Before we turned-in for the night, I told Jim that if I can get in at anytime Monday, I’d call the store requesting he come home. So then decided to call South-side Monday AM as soon as I could throw on some old yard clothes and wash my face. I ran thru what had been going on --- they worked us in Mid morning.
I pulled on a robe and made the rounds to located Maggie not in the computer room closet, nor ‘neath our bed (what a relief, it’s too cold there) the bottom floor of the kitty Kondo, not the spare bedroom either. So plodded downstairs and with each step I searched for her surveying her dishes (food still there-no surprise) and then into lavatory the Loo hadn’t been used since late the night before. As I retraced my steps---Bingo! Living room, underneath the end-table next to the dinning room. My baby was all scrunched in a ball with her bony back to the world. I slipped between the able and wall and reached down lifting her up with one hand quickly cradling her in my arms ---sitting in my Lazyboy I talked to her asking questions I knew she couldn’t answer vocally. With her in one arm we went into the kitchen I set her on the counter and grabbed condiment dish warmed them in the microwave and mixed her Cosequin and the crushed BP tablet with some Catit creamy chicken treat. She licked the spoon and that was all. Carried her back to living room deposited her where she had been, setting the dish along side of her.
I did the usual AM routine. Went back down---she hadn't really moved. But! She’d eaten half of her meds. I felt victorious. Half s better than none.
Made coffee and called the store and asked for him to come home---they put him on and he said ‘On my way.’ Finished dressing and all. Heard the garage door and then Jim chatting to Maggie.
We had a quick cup, loaded Maggie in carrier and off we drove. Walked in and were told Maggie’s al checked-in then took our seats.
Short wait and quick triage. 2 minutes and doc walked in reviewed , examined, observed and discussed. Maggie was taken in the back for her BP and venipuncture/urine. Nurse came in with Mags then said ‘Ooops. Didn’t dry her belly. Be back” Returned. Then doc came in and said she’d call Tuesday PM or Wednesday AM with results and numbers. Doc had done a through physical exam and spent time with her heart---said I just hear a Grade 2 murmur maybe 3 at the worst. Took her temp, the 'other way' and her reading was 100F. Whew!
Mags had been favoring her right leg and for the past 36 hours and the shivering was more pronounced than ever. Pain. They had placed her on that side to take her BP. We were given Buprenorphrine Oral, opioid for pain on a PRN basis shot on the gum. After things settled at home and before Jim return to work He cradled her and I gently prised her jaw apart and shot about half the dose. Exactly what I wanted to happen. She’s been back in the lower room of Kondo leaning on her left ‘arm/elbow’ favoring her right. Alert and watching me here.
Before turning in, we gave her the other half of her first dose. Tomorrow I'll see how she's doing and decide if I'll do a full dose TID. I hope she eats her Catit and meds this AM.
That’s where and how it all stands for the present. Just have to wait on blood/urine results in a couple of days.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, thanks for all the things you 'would have posted' yesterday. Totally understand why yesterday was all about Maggie... I hope the results from the tests turn out to be something they can treat and make her feel better. Please give her some purrs from Harley and some love from me, I feel like she is part of our family. Prayers for all of you...

Berry College Eagles - We are saddened to announce that on Saturday both eggs were revealed to have collapsed. There was no sign of any real contents, so the presumption is that this season's eggs were never viable. You may see the remains of a shell on the rails of the nest. It was a nice surprise to see both eagles working on the nest this morning, customizing it to their liking. Some people have asked whether a second clutch of eggs is possible. While re-clutches do happen, they are not common. That being said, we will enjoy it and keep you updated if by some chance it does happen!

Royal Albatross Cam - Posted 14 hours ago.
1/23 Hello little Top Flat chick
Sharyn Ranger DOC ~This morning's check of the incubators show that the Top Flat chick is nearly hatched. A lot of progress has been made overnight. The umbilicus is likely still attached to the membranes of the egg. The drying out process takes a few hours, but it is possible that the chick will be returned to the nest later today. The down will be nice and fluffy by then.

Royal Albatross ~ The Top Flat Chick Has Hatched! 🐣 Welcome To The World Little One! 💗 1.23.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8xQ_HMsB30
The Top Flat chick hatched earlier today in the incubator but the rangers had to wait to return it to the nest because of the bad weather. While they were waiting, Mama LGL came in and had a wonderful reunion with LGK. She must have known that her chick was going to hatch today and she flew in for the celebration!!
The video begins with ranger Colin spraying around the nest with Avian Insect Liquidator a safe insect repellent to protect the hatchling from flystrike. Then Colin will bring the container with the Royalcam chick to be placed under LGL. He removes the dummy egg and puts the wee hatchling under Mom. Look at LGL smiling as she looks down lovingly at her new chick! And Colin was smiling as well as he was recording video of this blessed event!
The chick weighed 300 grams at hatching and the rangers will be making stops twice a day at the nest to weigh the chick and to check it for any flies or issues.
Congratulations to LGK and LGL on their new hatchling! And Congratulations to the entire DOC and RAC staff for all their hard work in hatching the chicks in incubators and then returning them to the nest. All of us Aunties and Uncles are thrilled to take part in another season of watching this little chick grow up and fledge! Thank you for watching!

Lori, We can't forget the bacon! I think I may make Mike a BLT for lunch! ;D
Clynn, "Hi Harley" my two boys say Hi back too! :-* ... very sorry about Berry eggs.... an amazing sight of the two oceans.... I'm amazed at how calm Mom LGL was during the exchange. It's like she said "Oh my, What do you have there?" and she's immediately accepting of chick. :-* The rangers take excellent care throughout this whole process... Fire ant bites are painful. Amazing critters.
Tsk, we've had light rain since late yesterday afternoon. Hopefully, it continues all day. I hope Tim is doing well.
Lisa, glad your home, you and your mama can spend TLC time... I've never tasted a Moon Pie, but I do love Po'boys! Yum!! Sorry about your car's windshield. So glad it didn't interfere with your travels or cause serious accident. Mike must have to replace a windshield once every two or three years. Aly has a windshield she's going to have to get replaced soon. We get so use to driving on the AZ highways and having a rock hit your windshield. Mike usually waits until the spot gets bigger now, or we get two or three spots. :-\ .. I get nervous about it, and want it replace asap.

Good Morning! Lani, so glad to see the Albratross! Clynn was right about the video, it looked like LGL said, thanks for taking care of my baby! Cly nn-The Berry nest... :-\
I wonder what Mama Berry is doing?I'll bet she's doing great! Miss her. Phyl-you are taking such sweet care of Maggie... she deserves to have the princess Diva life and she is lucky to have you! Many hugs and prayers for her. My Diva sends purrs... e4e-you are so sweet! I know it was an amazing story! I was just assuming his mate was feeding him, I just don't see how an eagle can survive on the ground for 3 weeks otherwise. I will check on him. Lisa-have fun at your Mom's you are probably exhausted. Save some moon pies for Karen, I will post some KK'S for her today! ;D Everyone have a wonderful day! Today is sleeting and pure ice outside over top of the snow ::) :P

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
Great news about the new hatchling Royal Albatross being slipped into the nest! :-*
Phyl, sending wishes for comfort and healing for sweet Maggie. :-*
Clynn, great to hear Harley is doing well. I probably have missed previous posts about it, but I'm hoping Harley and Sam and Sophie are all getting along together okay, or at least tolerating each other. :-*
Lisa, glad you made it to your mom's okay, and you got to sleep in this morning! Ahhh...
Lori, ugh on the freezing rain and all the icy conditions. I hope you all can stay inside and hope it melts soon! Your KKs are making me salivate!
Lani, LOL, yeah, too bad for the Bill's kicker... not! ;D Glad you're getting some helpful rain.
TSK, I agree, all the food you were making sounded so yummy. I've never had the burger and tater tot casserole, but I would like some, please... :D
OG, sorry to see Lesley the Bird Nerd won't be making more videos of the birds, but I can totally understand why, and I wish her all the best. Glad your power shovel is helping, but golly, that's a lot of snow!!
E4E, I hope you had a great visit with your mom and sister! :)
Karen, when will you get a chance to have some help putting your wonky shelf back right? I'm looking forward to the warm-up! It's coming to my area tomorrow. Ahhh... I hope you and Piper get to enjoy the warmer temps coming your way! :)
Waving to All the Beakers! Stay safe, and warm! :)

Bible study was cancelled today as many walkways were still in partial ice mode. We are all "seniors" and no one wanted a broken hip today LOL So took advantage of that extra free time and tackled another Jan project - the file cabinet - shredding old invoices, receipts, bills etc. Phew. Glad that is done.
LANI Beautiful photo of the hatching baby albatross. So fragile.
CLYNN Over to Barb's by 10:30 to wait for a service guy for a device beeping in their basement. Long story but two new batteries did not solve the problem.. Must be there tomorrow around 9 for electrician to come and pick up mother board.
See above and note that I did not waste a minute and got the file cabinet updated with cancelled Bible study LOLOL Now will sit with my tea and try and get the border done on my puzzle. Housework in all the other minutes you didn't see accounted for ;D ;D
Incredible ant raft...Don't get Disney but maybe sometime on PBS
LISA How convenient to have a Safelite nearby for repair. Mom is so happy to see you.
PHYL Took a long while on some of those "protective coloration" pics - So amazing.
LANI Thanks for Lynn's report - always interesting.

We have to have bacon---just wouldn't be OG,s birthday w/o that!
Lori so touched ny your 'Get Well' and prayers for Maggie. Divas come in assortments. My little Diva sends purrs to your little Diva.
LaniBLT's ;) I was thinking of KB's bacon cheese grilled sandwiches. Jim says Publix has run out of the pepper bacon. But, I got two loaves of the thick-cut brioche bread on BOGO. Thanks for Dr. Rogers post. It seems like a long time since we had those here.
Tsk casserole sounds yummy; you don't waste a minute ;); I know it can be difficult spotting those camo critters---the publisher doesn't make it easy either.
Bazi tks for the 'Get Well' wishes for Maggie. :-* LOL your Red R. Hood

Been reading tge beak and news all day but have been jumping from one thing to another! Lisa safe at mothers house eating gulf coast fare! Good! Kks for a snack! Thanks Lori, terrific! Old Guy moving snow and liking his new shovel! Take it easy OG! Harley enjoying Mom time! Thanks for posting the picture of the oceans meeting! Bad news for the Barrys. But they might double clutch! Oops, that is what some have done while driving! Lani, good news on the albies! Sweet! Nice to heat from Dr. Rodgers!
Phyl, thanks for all your posts and the long report on Diva Maggie! I pray the vet can recommend a treatment course that will make her more comfortable.
Eagles and Baz!😎😎😬
Spent the day washing the items in the cabinet washing the Grass shelves.,and doors! Putting things back in! Doors are back in but not right! Took the plastic off. The plant shelves on the screen porch! All four plants made it! Hha took the petunias out to the front porch! Not good when I covered them but no worse for wear! Washed a load of clothes. Did asmall order from Walgreens! Made a call to Vanity Fair about a return and new order. Got the filter changed in cpap machine! I did not do all of this alone, hha and I did it! Have the china cabinet left to clean and I am dreading it as there is so much in there! Will take a picture of it first so I will know where things go! Should have done that in the kitchen! Housekeeper due here in the morning! Thanks Lani and BL

Phyl, lots of interesting articles for reading a bit later. Love seeing the Sanderlings flowing with the waves... 32 here now, high 35 for today. I was able to get out yesterday finally. Had not gone out in my car since all the snow and frigid temps started! The roads were just wet, it was good to get out! Hoping Maggie is feeling better today...
Lani, thank you for posting Lynn's observations! Such an interesting place! So it would have been 13 years ago around this time of year that we were watching the cam on Jewell's den! And listening to the strange newborn bear sounds! You were always the one who could see the little ones, I always thought you would have been a good sonogram reader! Wonderful video of the Mama chimpanzee reunited with her baby, so very sweet...
tsk, I should have known better than to assume you were laying around eating bonbons and doing puzzles all day! LOLOL! Again I say, you are like the Energizer bunny!
Lisa, you are in the warm now! Hope you and Mom are having a great time!
baz, we haven't let Harley loose with the kittens yet but it won't be long. We wanted to let them get a little bigger and get used to each other's scents around the house. Harley is with me now, the kittens are up in our bedroom, where they spend the night and Harley gets to roam the house.

HI EVERYONE
LANI Awww that was so perfect with Mama hugging her newborn. Caretakers sounded like they may have had tears :-* Funny good night pic. The keeper of the noses LOL
KAREN You were as busy as a beaver yesterday :) Glad all the plants made it. Your efforts paid off. I have also taken a picture of a shelf or the like to make sure it goes back the same way, esp if I like the way it was. ;) ;)
BL Holy smokes when was the bull dolphin fish caught? How long did it take to land it?
PHYL Enough food for all at the buffet 365 :) Amy's blog. Bottom line - hopefully the new trackers will be reliable - All that work and none have worked sufficiently well. Interesting about fingerprints...
CLYNN In that island pic - do you suppose the little red structure is the loo? LOL Amen " short side long side" My new sheets have " top or bottom" Phew

Paul Kammen took this gorgeous photo of a long eared owl taking off in Southern MN.
Been "locked up" inside as fog/mist has made the roads too slippery to even drive they say.
Waiting to get above freezing temps before heading out for a must need grocery shop.
Same weather yesterday and may continue through the week. We need some wind and/or sun to function properly.
Morning all.

Home again, home again, jiggedy jig. I went to the closest grocery store.
My mailman around 10 stated he fell twice already and he wears yaktrax.
We laughed that we both saw the salt trucks drive around but weren't dropping it.
We think they are just "messing" with us now. They've had to do nothing hardly all winter.
Two more at minimum mornings like today.
Very little snow. This was a day ago or so and it looks the same today.

bounce
Yep, KB, luckily (since I was up, sort of, all night watching tennis with Baz) I left late for the pool this a.m. One section of our sidewalk was still slippery.
I had a good werkout.... the pool had to be 87, felt great!

Great owl pic!

Mama is out of surgery, and in her room. She does not do well with anesthesia and is very nauseated. They have already given her three different medicines to help with that, and this last one seems to be helping and also making her sleep. The doctor said, all went well.
Lani - That is me too, nervous and want the windshield repaired.
Lori - I am a lil tired, but i think breaking the drive up in two days really does help. I hope karen enjoyed her KK's!
baz - Thank you! I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather.
tsk - I had remembered about the Safelite being by Mama's, cause I went with her to get hers repaired there when I was visiting a couple summers ago.
Phyl - How is Maggie?
BL - Nice fish, and I see you have a redneck tan...lol
E4E - Thank you!
clynn - Yes, warm and rainy today. Mama and I had a good day yesterday, running the streets and eating out. Love the small island in Lovrafjorden, Norway. Oh, I am trying to remember what the tag on my fitted sheet says, I think it says long side.
kb - Great pic of the long eared owl.
tig, Puff, karen, oldguy - Afternoon :)
-
KB Awesome owl :o Gosh, I feel so bad for your mailman. We did not get out mail yesterday - Think Anna did not want to fall.
LANI health check - thumbs up ;D
LISA Prayers for Mama. There are two anesthetics I cannot take and I tell them...fentanyl and versed - I puke for hours!!! ((((mama))))
Off to deliver baby packs to 3 refugee families - One baby born Sat.
-
Zofran works well as an anti-emetic.....worked well for Scott with his chemo.
Maybe ask for it?
-
BL - Wow!!! What a catch - 6' bull dolphin fish - that is a great photo!!!!
Lani - Loved the sweet vid of Mama chimpanzee getting reunited with her baby!! So precious!! :-*
Tsk - You are always taking care of stuff and staying busy. I'm surprised that you even have time to do puzzles! ;) ;D
Phyl - Still sending out good thoughts & prayers for your Maggie. Hope she is doing okay. A warm gentle hug for you Phyl. :-*
Clynn - Glad you were able to head out and go somewhere yesterday! I too, always love heading out for a little ride and an errand or two! ;)
Kb - Hope your temps warm up enough to ease up on the freeze. Just saw your picture and it looks like the snow is there to stay awhile longer. :-\ Love the picture of Rutt(??) I know you are waiting for confirmation.
LisaG - So sorry for your Mom suffering with nausea. Hope that by now, she is feeling much better. Happy that the procedure went well. Hugs for you & your Mama. :-*
We've been getting quite a bit of rain lately - which we really needed in our area. We are forecast for some dry weather the next few days beginning tomorrow. We are invited to our friend's house today for appetizers and dinner!! :)
Beakers have a nice afternoon :)

Bounce
(Lisa/mom)
We are running an errand and then to Perkins for a healthy dinner and then a not so healthy dessert... they are promoting their peanut butter treats for peanut butter day?
Works for me. Lol
TTFN
-
{{{Lisa and Miss Fisher's favorite fan}}} I'm very relieved for you Lisa, that's your mama is out of surgery and doing well. Though I'm sorry to hear she's suffering from the after effects from the anesthesia. I pray this last med will help and she'll be able to sleep. Feel better soon {{{Lisa's mama}}} :-*
-
Mr. Tower is here.
I'm cooking dinner so only had time with my cell phone camera.....not good like my digital camera. But hey.
-
Lisa, glad Mama is out of surgery and now sleeping it off! How long will she be in the hospital? Good you goy your windshield fixed!
Clynn, I love the little red island house! I wonder how you get through all the lush foliage between the dock and the house! Thought the tiny house on the dock might be s fish cleaning place! Could be a loo, Tsk! Lol
Mice to take a baby pack to new immigrants!
Phyl, any word from the vet? How is (((Maggie)))?
The kks from Lori were still hot and delicious!
House keeper was here 4 hours and did a wonderful job! She even swept the ceilings and wallsi GlAd to have her!
Piper and I have the door to the screen porch open as it is about 77 degrees!
Will cool down Sunday!
-
Karen Yes. I've some things to re arrange with her diet---mostly the delivery of her BP meds. You know the old 'trial and error' things. Gonna be time consuming to find the right combo now that what was since working has to be discontinued She's got an electrolyte supplement I'm having to test on her. It'll be 'hit and miss' in Beakroom for me. Plus I've fallen behind in my threads that I maintain . And, about 3yrs behind in my sleep. We all know that sleep is a commodity that one can never get 'caught up'.
Lisa so glad your mom's surgery went well. Sorry that she's had probs with anesthesia . Some folks are like that. Happy she's gotten
some relief from all that barfing.
CLynn hesitant to say too much about Maggie right now. The new fitted sheet technology would be a time saver for me. When they gonna do that? ;D
Tsk tasty looking stack this AM. In CLynn/s island photo I was thinking the smaller red structure was the 'boat house' or some such, since it's on the wharf / at dock . I'm sure your/Church's kindness is well appreciated'.
KB fantastic owl in flight. :o Sometimes one has to knuckle under to the weather. :( Take care. Your poor mail carrier
Lani luv the cute snap of Royal and newly hatched chick TN (?). Tks for their updates and photos
Tig envy you the nice 'warm' dips and laps in the pool.
KB tks for 'The Rutt Report'. Let's hope admin has some good news and the moose in the photo si our Rutt

karen - Originally , they were saying she could be in here for 4 to 5 days, but the doctor stopped by a lil bit ago and said, as long as she does not get pancreatitis she might be able to go home tomorrow afternoon.
kb - Yay on Mr Tower showing up for a pic.
Lani - Thank you :-*
tig - Thanks :-* Enjoy your dinner at Perkins.
E4E - Thank you :-* Enjoy your time at friend's house..appetizers and dinner sounds good.
tsk - Thank you :-* Mama was given the Fentanyl today. Thank goodness the last nausea med they gave her worked. She has been sleeping alot.
Phyl - Thank you :-*
Have a good night, everyone!
-
Good news on your Mana Lisa! Hope she improves rapidly!
Phyl, take care of all of your famiky! You, Jim and Maggie!
Forgot to mention that E 23 had a fish hook in his beak after breakfast, 1/14! As F23 was feeding she noticed it and tried to remove it! She was not successful and chatted with Mighty M about it! He looked at it and was abke to remove the hook! Wow! Z10 days later, baby is eating, wingersizing and doing baby eagle things!
-
CLYNN How did the eye patch over your glasses work for the driving?
EAGLES Enjoy the evening out ;D
TIG You absolutely need to celebrate peanut butter day ;) ;) esp after a healthy dinner - You earned it.
KAREN These people are actually invited refugees who have fled their country and have spent 2 years in another European country being vetted and preparing all paper work to enter the US on invitation. After 5 yrs here they can apply for citizenship. Our church is working through Exodus World Service - one partner of it helps with resettlement - finds a place to live and helps get jobs. - another part helps with furnishing the dwelling and providing support visits, another group provides ethnic food welcome packets, another the baby packets which we decided to do for Advent
-Send your housekeeper over here. I could use one LOLOL Praise the Lord, you are very lucky. But you had good word of mouth.
- Thanks for the follow up on the fish hook. I hadn't heard and was afraid to watch...
PHYL Watch out for yourself so you can watch out for the others in your care :-*
LISA Best outcome for Mom tomorrow. :-*
-
Kb, thanks for Rutt update, hopefully it is him.... glad your mailman is back at work... YAY Mr Tower ;D
Eagles, I hope you and Kris have a nice time at your friends.
Tig, I wish we had an indoor pool here. Glad you're able to enjoy using one during the winter.
Karen, what a great housekeeper you have!... I could use her help ;D ... great news dad M was able to remove the fish hook. E23 is sleeping soundly with a full crop and parents keeping watch from the attic. :-*
{{{Phyl, Jim and Maggie}}} I pray Maggie's new arrangement with her diet and meds works. Prayers for healing, comfort and peace for you.
{{{Lisa}}} I'm so glad your mama is doing better tonight and able to sleep... prayers she will be able to go home tomorrow. :-*
{{{Tsk}}} Bless you and your church for providing assistance for refugees.
{{{Puff}}} I hope you're well.
Good night!

I'm still here and kickin' Phyl. No worries. Spent last night counting the seconds of the off and on cycle of thesump pump. :-\ A least it's still working.
I thought this ugly ice/rain/snow routine was suppose to change on Wednesday. Now it's pushed over to Friday. At least things washed all the icy stuff into the sewers. Kept me totally in the house, as KP said, for a couple of days. Next year, just because, I'll keep some icemelt on hand. Two newspapers ended up a useless soggy mess because I wasn't adventurous enough (aka stupid) to tackle the driveway. Went on a couple of errands yesterday; have another early out today 10:30.
Also, keeping track of your issues. Hope all ends soon.
Thanks for the checkin!

Phyl, cool car! 34, high 36 today, and rainy. The snow is slowly melting... Continuing prayers for Maggie... and for you and Jim.... Very interesting article on Zealandia! And then New Zealand was created! Fascinating! 365 so so for today, no wildlife as there usually is. Here's a throwback for Thursday!

Puff, yes, the warm up was also pushed out a few days here as well, but finally! I told Ed to be mindful of the sump pump too, it's raining as well as a lot of melting snow...
Lani, cute little sleeping pug!
baz, hope you had a good nights sleep...
tsk, I forgot to take the patch when I went out, but I did fine! That is a wonderful program that your church has for refugees. Sounds like they have everything covered!
Lisa, glad your Mom did well with the surgery, hoping she gets to go home today!
kb, good to hear that Mr. Tower is back! Keep the camera handy!
E4E, how was your dinner with friends? Always nice to get together with friends! I need to get in touch with our little group from work, it's time we met and had our pitcher of margueritas again!
karen, glad to hear you had a good day with your help! I wish I could open the door to the deck... ;D
tig, haven't been to Perkins for a few years! We usually go to Cracker Barrel, need to try Perking again. Both are close by.

High today 40 - rain. Snow disappearing quickly.
BAZI How are you liking your new frig?
PHYL The first Friday evening of every month in summer the town sponsors a classic car show. That Fairlane reminded me of it. :) Beautiful Minn. sunrise 365 :)
PUFF Agree - Had two events cancelled with the early week of ice issues. We always have ice melt on the front porch and one in the garage. I worry about the mail gal. We got our mail at 10 PM last night as I was turning off the front light. A sub mail person. We did not get mail yesterday...Think a lot had to do with the ice. I don't complain. It is not a job I would want.
LISA Hope Mom is perking up today :-*
CLYNN As many mornings we are posting at the same time LOL Love those throwbacks. Life was so much simpler back then. It is actually just my social concerns ministry that linked up with this group as a new Advent project. Parishioners took a card off a tree and bought the gift listed and placed under the tree unwrapped. We were told what the 27 baby items were which made it easy. Then few of us assembled the "packets" - actually big bins to hole everything We do not participate in the other things I listed. It is what Exodus World Service does. We just chose the baby packets as it was an easy thing for our parish to do.
Sounds like you are already adapting to mono vision!!
-
Hi tsk. Funny meeting you here. . .
In my case, the mailman has the easy part because he can stay in his little cabby and just reach out for the mailboxes at the curb. Except in my case when something bigger is shipped USPS, then he has to park it and walk up the drive to the door. Ergo - Christmas card +.

Royal Albatross ~ Ranger Sharyn Afternoon Weight Check! Gives Thumbs Up - All Is OK! 👍 💗 1.25.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8LupRqxR6I&t=2s
Jan 24, 2024
Ranger Sharyn visits the nest in the afternoon for the 2nd weight check up of the day. I can only imagine how busy the rangers are now with chicks hatching and requiring twice daily health checks, looking for the pips on the incubated eggs & watching over the eggs that are currently hatching in the incubator!! Many thanks to the rangers and the DOC staff for their dedication and love for these albie chicks!!
Sharyn gives us a thumbs up - meaning all is OK with the chick!
Sharyn does a through visual check on the chick today and she sprayed the chick's bottom with the AIL and also around the nest. Is is just me, or does the chick look bigger today?? ☺ Sharyn weighs the chick and puts it back under LGL who is happy to have her little one back underneath her. Sharon pulled up some grasses and nesting material and threw it to the side and pulled fresh grass and presented it as a gift to LGL. LGL loved the new grass gift and started moving it around as soon as Sharyn left. ♥ Thank you for watching!

Good job Tsk! Hopefully the new babies will thrive!

Phyl, will read your posts later! Thanks.
Lisa, when do you start your trip back north? Hope yoor mama is still on track for discharge today! Remember day 3 post surgery is said to be the worst

Foggy this morning but a titch warmer than yesterday, so don't think it's making freezing rain.
Therefore, I shall head out for some errands and a walk with Ollie later.

I was pleasantly surprised with the size and quality of the side salad that came with my steak. I brought half of my steak home with a few tots.

karen - Thanks for that SWFL update on E23. A fish hook, that is scary!
tsk - Thank you! I think Mama is worried about going home, because her bed is high and she will have trouble getting in and out of it. My brother said, she does not need to worry about that, he will make sure she gets and out. Very interesting about the refugees.
Lani - Thank you! All the doctors that have come in this morning keep saying to Mama, you might get to go home later this afternoon. They brought breakfast and she ate half of it, did walk a few steps in the hallway and swallowed the meds they wanted her to. She was getting some pain meds in IV, but they told her she needed to swallow them not after this morning. Thanks for the Royal update!
Phyl - Thanks for the 365.
Puff - You be careful out on your errands.
clynn - Thank you! Love the SWFL pic, so sweet. Remember both of those throwbacks. :D
kb - Love the Scottish Highland Cattle, too
tig - Morning :)
-
LisaG Here's the general forecast along your route back north on the 28th.
Are you doing the "flip-flop" in 2 legs also ?
It looks like rain along your way home. :(
Lowest Daytime Max temps are back at your house at 50° F.
NO Snow, NO Ice. :)
Any major changes between today and Sunday I'll update. ;D

Get out there and howl Beakers. ;D

PUFF You're right Then I wouldn't mind being a mailperson LOL
LANI Love how Sharon pulled up new grasses for LGL :)
KB Beautiful variety of cattle. We had awful fog this AM - only a quarter mile at the airport.
LISA Actually have therapy practice that with her in her hospital bed adjusted to the approximate height of her bed at home. That will give her a method and confidence. If she doesn't not have a grab bar at home - she should not use the bedrail to help her..
-
I did walk Ollie this morning in the "mist"
36 above with mist/moisture in the air feels a lot colder than 25 above with no moisture!.
Same in the house.
-
some bounce
KB... I agree. I almost had to put socks on while in the house yesterday. Lol! It definitely is cool.
I distributed Christmas presents to appropriate rooms and undecorated the tree today. :-\ We plan to take it home to the farm tomorrow.
BBL
-
BL - Yes, doing the same on the way home. Ugh, rain! Thank you :-*
tsk - I think she might have her bed raised a bit, so I need to get my brother to check that out for her.
kb - Glad you and Ollie got a walk in, even it it was in the mist.
tig - Sounds like a productive day.
Mama will be staying another night, and they said, she will go home tomorrow.

Karen - Your housekeeper sounds like a 'keeper'! :) Wow-77 deg yesterday for you! 8)
Phyl - I know Maggie is doing as well as can be with your TLC. :-* {{Maggie, Phyl}}
That is a beauty of a car you posted this morning!! Wow!! Pretty early morning in 365.
LisaG - So glad to know your Mom is not sick with nausea now. I just know she will be feeling better before we know it! :) Just read further and seems like your Mom is doing well, and good that she is eating! :) That is wonderful that your Mama will be able to go home tomorrow! Hugs for you & Mama. :-*
Karen - Yikes :o I did not know about the fish hook. E23 parents are amazing!!!!
Tsk - Thank you, we did have a great evening at our friend's house. Beautiful of your Church to be doing all that they are to help others.
Puff - Glad you popped in to let everyone know you are still kickin'! ;D Easy to understand why you let your newspapers go unpicked up for a couple of days (had they not wrapped them)?
Clynn - Loved the retro pictures! I too remember those days! We had a fabulous evening with our friends - great food, great friendship, and it was fun petting & giving their pets attention!!
Lani - Thank you for Royal Albatross update! Early morning and walk for you & Sadie! Did Mike have to head out early?
Tig - Sounds like a good steak last night!
BL - So nice of you to help LisaG with weather info!
-
TIG Did your tree shed any needles??
LISA Good news for Mom. ;) Is she nervous about it?
EAGLES What pets do your friends have? ;) ;)
-
TSK... Yep. It is a bit dry and why we are taking it down a few weeks early. :o
-
Tig, I was going to ask if the tree was a live, balled in burlap that could be replanted! I had one of those in NC one year and my dad and I planted it on a hill on my property! He talked about that until the day hr died. So amazed to be planting something the first of January!
Lisa, good news on your Mama! You might not get rain until day two of your trip!
My ac came on this afternoon! Mickey said she thinks Dr. Hall set it on auto ! After day 2 of 80 degrees I guess it said enough! Was hot as blazes last night though! Never before in January!
Clynn, remember those pictures! Cool! Thanks for the picture of swfl!
Seds!

Tsk - You asked :) First, my Gf and her hubby have been taking care of his mother's brown Dachshund since his mother passed away 4 years ago. The sweet female doggie 'Cocoa' is 18 years old right now! Then secondly, they have a dark colored female Dachshund 'Olive' that is 6 years old. Then thirdly, they have a female Jack Russell terrier 'Dottie' that is 1 1/2 yrs. old. They have two kitties; Female 17 year old 'Grigio' - grey, and her son 15 year old 'Nimbus' grey w/mixed darker color (they are all spayed/neutered now). They live on the outskirts of town and have a completely fenced in yard. Also a doggie door for the pets that leads out to their wood deck to the fenced back yard. Hope I didn't tire you out with info! :)
Tig - You were busy today with taking down your tree! You & Camper have a good night. :)
Karen - You & Piper have a nice evening :)
Phyl - Hope Maggie is comfortable and doing okay tonight. Wishing you & Jim a good evening.

Everyone have a good evening - sleep well - be safe & warm :)

I personally Only travel one day at a time.
Because the next day brings only beautiful stuff when you zig N zag.
Improvise Overcome Adapt.
It's served me well one place to the next for Decades.

Phyl, very eerie that the heat from the Iceland eruptions shows up in space! Will read about Alzheimer's later. Love the swans and their sounds in the 365! Praying for you and Jim and Maggie to have a quiet relaxing weekend! 34 now, high 36 again today. The snow piles are slowly going down...
Lani, good music, didn't know you were a R&B fan! Mike has to travel again, seems like quite a bit lately! They must be making sure they learn every bit of his knowledge before he retires (next year?). Sweet video of the old man and his dog watching the sunset...

Lani is right BL Nice, real nice.
Listened to them this morning. (Tuned out early last night for basketball and hockey. Both teams lost.) Interesting sounds by FourPlay. Hall deserved. Santana always smooth.
So anyway - sipped my tea listening today. Thanks for the dedication.

67now going to 76. A few degrees higher tomorrow and then a little closer to normal next week! Load of laundry in the. Dryer! May get a hair cut this afternoon but nothing else planned! Too cloudy last night for the wolf moon!
Clynn, hear a lot about potato soup lately! Either home made or ir from Panera! Enjoy!
Well, no hair cut today! Hha not coming! Her son is sick! Will go to plan B!
-
CLYNN LOL " please close the gait" ;D Altho we did not have as much snow as you, we are now almost 90% grass.
Maybe it's just as we are seeing Sophie's white tummy but are their colors now becoming more distinctive? Love her yoga sleeping position. :D Soup looks yummy. Too many carbs for Tim however. :( He is doing really well getting his daily blood sugars down. It would break my heart to care for a blind RTH :'(
KAREN I hope Plan B isn't cutting your own hair LOLOL
Have the last remnants of the Christmas holiday now down and up with some Valentine decorations. Hauled 4 bags to Goodwill and a bags of puzzles/books to the library for their first of the year book sale on Feb 3rd.
Since Tim has been doing so well, we are trying a new restaurant for lunch today as a reward.. ;) ;) It's a church converted to a restaurant.

No hair cutting Tsk! I have done it ,however! Lol
Have. Eaten in a Restaurant rut in a converted church! I remember the fiid eas good nut I cannon rememberWhere it was! Enjoy!

Thanks for the news Lori!
Years ago, the city, village or whatever would announce a date tgey would pick up Christmas trees, at the curb! They would shred tgem and later offer free mulch to residents! After a certain time, they kept the mulch! I guess that oractice stopped as the workd turned to fakes!

CLynn LOL 'keep the gate closed' what a hoot. Hurrah! Your snow is melting. ;) Sam and Sophie :-* Gosh! That potato soup looks delish!! Thanks for posting the recipe . Wild Heart Ranch, {{{Keebler and Helen}}}
Tsk seems like most disorders/illnesses in/with the human body are protein based. I've started a bag for Good Will/Salvation Army myself.
Puff so glad to read you're doing well
Karen I do cut my own hair. Fed up with 'stylists' that gab while they work and don't pay attention---ending up doing everything but what I want/like. Then I have to go home and do it over. So why bother. Speaking of I'm do for an afternoon with hair shears and a mirror. My hair is 'bout to my shoulders and is far too long for shape of my face and all. Talking like 1" to 2". It's layered so I could go shorter and have fun with mousse. ;D
Tig tks for sharing Camper's snaps of Christmas tree. And, there's Pooh and Tigger! ;)
Lani your poodle is living life in the 'fast lane' LOL
Lori tks for the update on Big Bear cam. Wow! An egglet for Shadow and Miss Jackie. :-* Shadow will be a good provider.

KAREN Here is the website https://thefoxtailonthelake.com/ They built a large outdoor seating area attached to the church which in the summer I would prefer. Inside is gorgeous with the high inverted "v" ceiling - huge bar and very contemporary. BUT also very loud. You could not go there with the "girls" and expect to have a conversation. Food had somewhat of an Indian influence. I had the Paella and Tim the chicken Shawarma rolls. Will try outdoors in the summer maybe.
They still pick up trees in our town and citizens can help themselves to the shredded material.
LANI Love the dog's outfit behind the wheel LOL
TIG Awesome tree light effects ;D
PHYL You're brave to do your own hair :o ???
LORI Saw that news today on Jackie and Shadow first egg of the season. ;D

Maggie seems to have settled back into her normal self and routine. As I mentioned she has a change in her diet. Her kidney values ( and heart) went up a bit
and so the Catit treat I used as a vehicle for her BP med and Cosequin sprinkles---went 'Bye-bye".
Is now mixed into ProPlan Veternary Rx Hydra Care. It like a watery orange gel looks like the Catit chicken treat she's use to lapping up.
But! And, God above hears prayers for this little gal---it's liver flavor!! My Maggie loves liver---at the time of her onset---her fave was ProPlan Chicken/Liver.
With the Hills KD she lost so much weight---down to 2.5lbs. While the Hydra Care in less than 1% protine still will entice her to eat what she Rx'd.
She has all but lost vision in her right eye---that is evident when one watches her .
A tad weak in the legs .But , she's not letting that stop her. All agree that my little gal is 'still in the game'!
Thanks to God and Beaker prayers. She cuddle with us last night and is back to hogging my padded upholstered desk chair ---
leaving me with an odd chair from the dinning room. :)
Sending 🙏 's to all .

Interesting menu , Tsk! I have noticed a lot of spaces with high ceilings make for noisy environments! Did you enjoy what you ordered? Interesting your town still picks up Christmas trees! Good service!
Clynn, have you made the potato soup? Good?
Lisa, check the weather before you leave! Might want to delay your return a. Day! Nothing much expected here but the 1 95 corridor may be a mess!
Tsk, lots of rain for you too!

Good Evening Beakers
We have had a very damp/foggy 28-35 degree week here. About 1/2 inch of rain for the week. On Tuesday while at work, a large garage door awning failed from too much snow/water load. I was the closest to it verifying proper set of the garden center for spring. About 25 from the door. My back was toward the door and just out of sight - heard a very loud bang and then saw snow entering the aisle at my feet. It took until noon Thursday for a crane crew to arrive and remove the awning.
The roads in the area are all normal and snow pack is down to about 1/3 of what it was 10 days ago...

Tsk - Nice that you & Tim went out to a new restaurant for lunch!! :) Just read what you said about the restaurant - sounds like a nice place, but going later when the weather is warm, and getting an outdoor table, would probably be more enjoyable! :)

Mama was discharged yesterday, and we were back to her house around 3pm. She is still in alot of pain in her incision area, but they said that was to be expected. I am going to try and rest today for my first leg of the trip back tomorrow.
Lani - Sweet sleeping kitty.
E4E - I think she will feel alot better when that pain will go away in the incision area.
oldguy - Glad that you were not injured.
karen - Thanks for the heads up. I will drive slow. I am ready to get home.
Phyl - ((Maggie))
tsk - The menu looks great, and the Paella sounds wonderful! I was going to ask how Tim is doing with the diabetes, but I see you mentioned. That is great!
Lori - Thanks for the update on Jackie & Shadow....Congrats on egg#1!
tig - Great pics of the tree.
clynn - Love the pic of Sam & Sophie. I am heading out tomorrow. The potato soup recipe looks good. Aww, Keebler and Helen

Phyl, you have been up since the wee hours! Thanks for the Holocaust Remembrance, so much sad history... That Maggie is a strong girl! The cuddle is a very good sign... How are you and Jim doing?
Lisa, and you are also here in the wee hours before dawn! Good to hear that Mom is doing well, the worst is over! Now just to get through the recovery and she will be better than before! Cute morning kitty!
Lani, I have taken so many pictures of Sam and Sophie, they are just so cute! They finally were able to jump the make-shift gate I had to my eBay room, so they are exploring constantly. We have had a few times that we couldn't find them, looked all over and there they are! I did get a load to the Goodwill yesterday, had to wait until Ed & Kelsey left to go junking! You and Kris have a good weekend!
E4E, I've not been getting much done with these kittens around!
oldguy, wow on Grindavík, something new. That kind of seals the fate of the town... So glad to hear that you were not hurt by the awning falling...a close call! Great Born to be Wild by the Rockin' 1000! Still watching the rest of the links, thanks!
tsk, the restaurant looks fancy, I would go for the salmon! Certainly not the grilled octopus with shishito peppers! LOLOL!
karen, haven't made the soup yet, this weekend I will try it! Hopefully today!
The Banff Wildlife Crossings Project was implemented in Banff, Alberta.
Combined with fencing to keep the animals off the road, the structures have reduced animal-vehicle collisions in the area by more than 80% (>96% for elk and deer alone).

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
High of 41 today cloudy
PHYL You are a remarkable Mom to little Maggie. So glad to hear that once again she is on the rebound. This is the holocaust museum a few miles from me in Skokie - Tim and I went several years ago. Would take days to go through it all - Amazing place. :'( :'(
https://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org/
KAREN We are ready to build the ark here. So rainy/dreary for several days now. Do not think it will be in today's forecast.
OLDGUY Glad you weren't hurt!!! Steve Lehto's piece on appliances was spot on. Give me back the days of Kenmore - everyone one bought Kenmore back then. I had a washer before this one that I had to reboot!!! What a joke. The "best" nowadays is the one with the fewest repair calls.... ::) ::) Darci Lynn ;D 1,000 musicians - WOW
We are really seeing a lot of progress with Bellamy on instruments ;D
LANI Love the little pillow for good night kitty.
LISA YAY Mom is home and will heal faster! Will your brother then cover for you? How did getting in and out of bed work last night?
Tim's had one day so far where daily blood sugar was in the 120s.... He averaged all of his weeks the other day including the hospitalization, and the steroid injections for his hand joints and he is down to 150 ( vs 190s)
CLYNN Love those road crossings. I can imagine how much of your house those kitties have to explore ;D

Good Morning Everyone... Happy Caturday !

Amazing The Banff Wildlife Crossings Project ,

Tsk cute Silver Tabbies this am.
The Holocaust is one of the most shameful and darkest periods of human history---glad there's a museum.
Many thanks for the posting the link to it's organization. Will check it out. Up until yesterday the retention pond below was filling up to be a lake. Gone now. ;)
Puff thank you. Maggie's time comes...is gonna be 'rough' .
Lani luv your 'Good Night' yesterday---Maggie as a kitten. :-*
OG glad you're 'okay'; always enjoy the 'Q-Kids" tks for the links will check out later---they will be good.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats;

Well looky here - excitement in the windy. I think it is encouraging and a nice discovery. Hope there's further info; I might even dare a ride into the city.
My friend Theresa lives in the next town over, Westmont IL. She follows the RRP channels; I decided to twist her arm to make the ride over with me to ATF in July.
Hope you're interested.

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Hi Baz! :)
Lori, love your Caturday pics/gifs, thanks for the rolls. YUM! :-*
Puff, Cool eagle news!
BL Rover ;D
Phyl, "Holocaust" a tragic part of our history. :'( ..... I have much respect for the magnificent Bison! Big ole boys/girls! :-*. ... OMG! Never mess with a black cat. Our Samantha would agree! Little girl was 8 lbs, sleek and intimidating! Our dogs and other cats feared her, except Weezel and Neiman... But, a sweetie to her human family. We were putty in her paws. 8) :-*
Tsk, glad Tim is doing so well... love the kitties, the left one looks like Milo and the other reminds me of Weezel.
Clynn, I hope US Dept of Transportation would allow over projects such as the Banff Wildlife Crossings Project over our own interstate highways. Glad you doing well. :-*
{{{Lisa}}} glad your mom is home and settled. Sending prayers for her healing and comfort. And prayers for you, get rested for your trip home. :-*

I thought my local eagle report would be a ho hum to the Beaks. Not so. Yay. Did you see that BL even named one? Rover. Good choice.

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!! :D
My knee has asked for some extra consideration this past week. So I skipped my walks a few days early this week, but got in a 30-minute walk Wednesday, 35-minute walk Thursday, a 19-minute walk yesterday, LOL, it was at least something, and a 30-minute walk this morning. Keeping things moving, but not stressing anything much.
It was an official 83-degree high temp here yesterday - the highest January temp ever here, since records have been kept.
I'm hollering for the UNC Tarheels, Jannik Sinner, the KC Chiefs, and the Detroit Lions to have winning games this weekend!! GO!!! :D
TSK, working refrigerators are the best invention evah!! ;D I love mine! I got a basic one - no bells and whistles for me for a fridge for one person in a very small home. The newer-fangled ones with lots of electronic bells and whistles should be reserved for people who do not mind the cost, time, and exasperation of all that can and does go wrong, especially with the motherboard! ...Which, by all rights, should be called the Mutherboard!! ;D 8) ;)
Oldguy, whew! Close call on the falling awning!! Glad you did not get injured!
Karen, shoot, hate you had to go to Plan B for your hair appt. I hope you can get back in soon. We've been having similar temps as you.
Lori, mmm, I would love one of those fresh cinnamon rolls and one of those coffees to go with. Thanks! ;) :D
Clynn, awww... look at Sam and Soph! :-* :-* Glad all went well when you went out without the eyepatch. Hugs!! :-* Love seeing Keebler and Helen! :-* :-*
Lisa, great news your mom is home! Glad you won't be heading back home before tomorrow - dicey weather possible today for the Mobile area, and along part of that route you would be taking. Hope that severe stuff doesn't develop, but keep your ears alert for any warnings. Wishing you smooth travels for your return drive.
Puff, wonderful photo and story on that BE!
E4E, that's a lot of pets to love on at your friend's home. Fun! :)
Tig, boo hoo for Fritz and Coco. At this point, I'm pulling for Sinner to win it all!
BL, LOL on Kopje.
Lani, glad Mike isn't headed to the NOLA area before Monday - lots of road flooding from recent rains, and potential severe weather there today, so hope it all subsides quickly. Sweet report on the Royal Albies. :-* :-* You had an early wake-up call!! :)
Phyl, yay for Miss Maggie's improvement!! :-* You could try this style!

Puff, time to move back to the city! Thanks for posting!
Lisa, you may be following the rain and not driving through it! Hope Mama is on pain medication!
Having our last
Way above average temps today, rain tonight and cooler tomorrow .
Old Guy, how fortunate for your company that no employees or customers were under that awning! What a disaster! I am sure you have excellent suggestions. For the rebuild! I would not think there were any plants under there unless there are some trees and hardy shrubs!
Tsk, I miss Kenmore Also ! Much simpler and easily Repaired!
They were made by Whirlpool to Sears specifications.
Good post Baz! Save your knees!

Good Morning Beakers....It's Caturday!!!
Mama was discharged yesterday, and we were back to her house around 3pm. She is still in alot of pain in her incision area, but they said that was to be expected.
I am going to try and rest today for my first leg of the trip back tomorrow.
No better place to get rested, healed and recuperated than at ones home.
The hospital is not the place to get rest and feel better.
You and Mama get some well deserved rest today & tonight. :-*
LisaG Pip and I are sending your Mom our very best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Are you going Mobile > Jacksonville only tomorrow 01/28 ?
Monday 01/29 Jacksonville/Savannah > Queenstown ?
I know U like to start your road tripping very early like us. 8)
As Karen mentioned you should be "following behind"' the exiting W to E rain on I 10 tomorrow AM heading towards Jacksonville.
Monday heading North from FL/GA on I 95 AM to PM looks weather clear also.

Good deal a companion to make the jaunt to the ATF . It'll be fun, I'm sure.

Lani y our Caturday feline grin---LOL Dreary day here the creek below the retention pond has crested and is just

So it's like 45° for the Kopje walk about sunrise need. 01/26/24
I stopped dead in my tracks _ As the Grand Deer Did _ voice command Kopje healed quietly still.
The really cool blowing dense ground fog this magnificent White Tail Deer sauntered across our paved road once again I could here his hooves clack.
He doubled back to take a nap under our pine tree one time we decided to take a picture of him.
This guy has it going on.

Phyl - Thank you :-*
clynn - I think I was up so early, cause of getting up all during the night at the hospital. I can't wait to get back on my regular sleep schedule. I wish those wildlife crossing were everywhere.
tsk - Oh my goodness, those two kitties in your morning pic remind me of Piper and Daisy from Misty's litter. Mu brother and SIL are going to take turns and stay home with Mama this week. The getting in and out of bed has been alot easier for her thru the day. Good blood sugars for Tim! Aww. Lulu watching Miri.
Lori - Great Caturday pics!
Lani - Thank you :-*
baz - Stormy in Mobile today, and thank you :)
karen - They did give Mama some pain meds, but she is one who does not like to take pain meds unless absolutely necessary.

Lani, I saw only a few minutes here and there of the Jayhawks game. They were playing at the same time as my team, on another channel. Yikes! Not their best game. We all have them, but still... ARGH!
Eburg, :o LOL.
KB, gorgeous photo of that BE. Yay for the Towers!
Lisa, hugs. I'm glad your mom is finding it a bit easier to get in and out of bed. I hope she has a speedy recovery, and you all rest well there tonight.
TSK, you get a lot of exercise! It's Cat TV for Lulu!! :D She's a sweetie, and seems like she has a pretty funny personality, too. :-* :-*
BL, oh my, what a gorgeous White Tail Deer - a real beauty! Loads of sea fog here the last few days, blown over land from the water. It's beautiful, and eerie, to hear, and only partly see, what is moving about in it, especially when a sea gull suddenly comes into view, flying straight at your head from the thick cloud not 5 feet from you! DUCK!! (Gull!!) ;) I was shocked (and disoriented, listening to the ocean waves I couldn't see) the first time I was on the beach in very dense sea fog and experienced that - I never would've figured they would fly in it - must be some incredible instrument panel they have!! I had none under nature's hood. Loved your description of hearing the hooves, and hugs and kisses to Kopje for following your command so perfectly. Nice photo!
Have a good night, All. Peace. SED.

Phyl, very interesting article about the art heist! $500,000,000...WOW! And still missing! Good to see the Norths starting to get the nest ready! I pray they have good luck this year! We were so spoiled with year after year of Mom & Dad raising 3 successful eaglets! The Steller's Jay is a beauty, Becky sees those in Oregon! 32 here, high 34 today.
Lani, oh my, 7" of rain in Louisiana! I have heard on the news of the flooding there and in Texas, it said they got a month's worth of rain in 3 days! Beautiful moonscape in your goodnight picture...
baz, love the pic of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro on the sled, they look like they are having such fun! I also noticed the missing tooth! Bella hasn't lost her first tooth yet! Thanks for the Sarah McLachlan, beautiful song...
BL, Kopje, who's a good boy.... Great pic of the deer, we don't often get to see one with antlers like that up close! He must feel safe at your place...
Lisa, safe driving for you today! Was this accident on your bridge or the other one? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/several-injured-in-serious-multi-vehicle-crash-on-marylands-bay-bridge-police/ar-BB1hm3o0

kb, great eagle picture you posted yesterday, glad to hear Tower is being seen often! Thanks for the Sarah McLachlan song!
tsk, isn't it amazing how cats can be so different! We have always had two or 3 cats, and none are ever the same. Sam and Sophie are very different!

LISA Safe driving tomorrow. :-* Mama has good support in your absence. Glad the bed transfers are OK.
BAZI Interesting observation about the fog and ocean. What a sweet pic of the munchkins on that nippy day all bundled up.
PHYL Hopefully soon we will have one of our own nests to watch ;D Fascinating story about the art heist.
CLYNN Yes, agree with you after having cats for all of our married life. How do you notice Sam and Sophie as different from each other? Good shot at SWFL :D

Nice one, Tig...wish they'd spent more time explaining her recovery though..how long? etc.
Fog is just lifting a bit here now....
Every friggin morning/day since our polar plunge.
Some days with mist/freezing mist during the night/early morning making it dicey to walk or drive.
What a cloudy/foggy winter....I'll take it over snow but geesh a little sun once in awhile would be nice.

Phyl, beautiful Stellar Jay. Every now and then there will be one or two that shows up at our feeder every spring. We're probably on their migration route.... thanks for RRP blog update, beautiful young RTH visiting Decorah North.... interesting History of art heist and still missing! Unless it's buried, someone has got to know where they are....
Kb, love Sarah MacLachlan's Angel.
Clynn, terrible multi-vehicle accident. I hope its not on Lisa's route home.... sweet SWFL baby, love the feather top look :-*
Tig, wonderful rescue/release story of the juvie eagle! Safe travels and fun adventures!

Royal Albatross - 1/28
A photo of Top Flat chick with foster parent WLB yesterday, snuggled in on her feet. Very cute!
http://AllABoutBirds.org/Albatross
Image credit: Sharyn DOC Ranger
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GE6JlNzaAAA8KRM?format=png&name=small)
Top Flat chick was removed from LGL and given to above foster parent for a few hours. LGL had been on nest 5 days and had not had enough food to feed chick when it was returned to the nest. When dad LGK returned to see new chick for first time. Ranger had returned their chick to them. It's been hot during the day. Remember this is their summer season... So feedings and weighins are closely monitored daily. Sometimes twice daily for some nests. Thank God for these hardworking and devoted rangers!
1/28
Hi everyone it was an eventful day yesterday but it did end very well.
Rangers arrived for morning checks. LGL - TF chick weighed and checked and WYL - TFT egg checked and off to the incubator.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1751389287462076544
Paddle wave by TF chick during afternoon weigh and check by ranger Megan.

TIG Those were some beautiful juvies released Thanks
OLDGUY 50/50 good night. Kotatsu, interesting. Drunk squirrel ;D Fake sore paw LOLOL
OH LANI The whole convent is out this Sunday AM LOLOL Those rangers have to be so observant at Flat Top to know that LGL hadn't had enough to feed chick and to know who was available to foster.
-
BL What a great experience on Kopje's walk. Do you see deer often?
Tsk we do see a lot of deer here very often.
But we never see 16 point bucks taking a nap in our mulch bed right outside the window. :o 8) ;D

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/issue/january-2024 (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/issue/january-2024) Fantastic write up on Monarchs--- most interesting.

OG cards last night 'comme ci, comme ça ' ; ROTFL drunk squirrel---LOL pooch w/ fake leg injury

Good evening! Posted a message this morning and when I looked this afternoon I found it must
have gone into cyber space! I do not even have that option on this I Pad! Or as Bella used to say, Ah Pad!
This morning was foggy, cloudy, dreary like the. Rest of tge country and then at about 10, “Sun”day burst through with temps in the 😭50s! A tad chilly following 5 days of 80, but, a lovely day!
Yes, that terrible accident was on Lisas bridge! I can barely stand to ride over it , taking in the beauty of the Chesapeake, let alone drive it! Lisa, take care and safe travels!
Bl, i am impressed with your little corner of the world and love the buck! What abeauty and so trusting! Hope he is okay!
Lani, now I know what happened to the nuns habits when they reverted to wearing street clothes! Lolol! So funny!
Curious litle e23, peeping over the rails!
Tsk, waving to you!
-
Forwarded a report on swfl to clynn. One of the adults , thinking M flew low over the highway that goes past the nest and landed in the median where he pulled up grass for the nest! He brings in a lot of road kill for the pantry so am thinking he is familiar with this roadway! So dangerous M!
-
Tsk, The Rangers do a fantastic job of keeping a record of each pair/nest. Several eggs are in the incubator now, there are a few chicks so they can do exchange for fostering at meal times. While LGL's chick was being fostered with WLB, LGL was fostering WLB week older chick. It's amazing the Albatrosses are so accepting of other chicks.
BL, WOW! A 16 point buck! Fingers crossed he lives a nice long life... it is a amazing moon photo. Sundog is a great name.
Tsk, both games were great games!
Eagles, congratulations to San Francisco! :)
Karen, I wish M wouldn't do that! :(
Good night!

Phyl, beautiful scenery in the 365, love the sounds... Saving articles for a bit later! Pretty blueberries and blackberries for the morning!
Lani, I am amazed at the attention and care the Albys get from the rangers, the rangers are truly special caretakers. You can tell they love theose sweet natured birds... Awww, that cat loves the dog! And those Dog Nuns! What a hoot!
karen, that would have been scary, seeing M15 in the middle of the freeway! Glad to hear it turned out okay.
tig, that was the most beautiful eagle release! I have never seen one photographed from the front, amazing!

Hi EVERYONE
PHYL I'll have to see if I can find a copy of Nat Geo on the shelves for that monarch article. 365 blue - fitting in with your theme. ;) Fascinating story about the winter Olympics.
KAREN LOLOL " Now you know what happened to the nuns habits when they changed to street clothes"
LANI I was so glad I was not able to watch the second half of the Detroit game :o :( Love the black and white photos you often post.
KB That must be an amazing sight to see all those flamingos live..
CLYNN Someone needs to put a top hat on the top of that tree ;D Great photo.

Good Morning! Sunny cool day here! Football games were a surprise to me! As the team with the best record of the last four, I expected the Ravens to win it all and the brothers Harbaugh to each end the year with a championship team! Not to be and as a friend of mine loves to quote her father , who was a coach, it all depends on who comes to play!
No plans for today! May shred old tax returns! Isn't that exciting? Water a few plants! Piper says, Boring!
Lisa, where are you. No word from you last night and I waved and waved!
-
Tsk I've been behind in my reading two months---
I believe I still have your address.
No need to scour for a copy on the shelves!! I'll send you mine!! :-* ;)
I'll be finishing it in a few days and will most happily mail it to you.

Phyl! Why are you getting Maggie a rabies vac? She is old and not outside! The accumulated effects if tge vac stay in the system a long time! Local vets and research say do not do this for dogs! Ido not see a benefit to her at this stage if her life! Get a titer!

(my quiet time) ... {{{Miss Maggie}}} I hope all goes well with your shot. :-* I'm thankful here in AZ Senior cats do not need rabies shots especially in delicate condition like Maggie, and especially since it's recommended to keep cats indoors because of wildlife. We're not required to have city tags too.
Kb, beautiful Pink Flamingos migration, and pic of mom/chick.
Tsk, both football games were fantastic. We thought Lions would pull out a win, but good for SF! It's going to be a great Super Bowl game!
Clynn,. New growth from topped tree. I like Tsk's comment to you. ;D ... thanks for Naimoj pic of sweet E23.
About the Royal Albatross Team
Multiple groups are working to help increase awareness about the Northern Royal Albatross nesting at Taiaroa Head. New Zealand’s Department of Conservation utilizes a team of rangers that are involved in the hands-on, day-to-day efforts at the colony. In addition, the publicly-accessible Royal Albatross Centre (also located at Taiaroa Head) provides opportunities for visitors to view the wildlife and to learn more about the importance of conserving the thousands of seabirds nesting there.

Hit 51 above today in my city!....don't know if it's a record for this date or not.
Nonetheless, I walked Ollie man and blew some stuff around on the grass. Why not? makes it easier in the spring for me.
sun was out brightly this morning but now clouding up.
None of my solar battery powered lights outside worked but this morning's sun might have been enough.
My watch is struggling as well....
We shall see.

LANI Awww Sweet Binx :)
KB A miracle :o happened here today when about noon the sun appeared. 8) My battery is recharging LOL

Good Afternoon Beakers.....
Just got home, but wanted to say hello. :)
Need to unpack, and get things straight around here. Will catch up in a bit.
Hope all is well!
-
I thought you would be home mid afternoon or earlier! You left Savannah at o dark thirty as Robin says! I know Jeff is glad to have you home and the kittys as well!
-
Phyl! Why are you getting Maggie a rabies vac? She is old and not outside! The accumulated effects if tge vac stay in the system a long time! Local vets and research say do not do this for dogs! Ido not see a benefit to her at this stage if her life! Get a titer!
Karen/Lani
From what I know this is an across the board Federal and State Law. There is also a question of getting treatment w/o vaccine and fines if the police should ever be involved in dealing with the animal. Or they are exposed to her for whatever reason. I know the odds of she being vicious and rabid are nil.
Vet had just done blood and other tests and temp last week and she check out as being healthy enough. They also take temp before injection and if there's a temp no shot is given. I happen to agree with you ladies. But, feel between a rock and a hard place.
I'll see how Jim feels.
-
PHYL Don't bother. I can read at the library in town!!!
KAREN I missed Lisa last night as well. ???
I apologize for the offer. I just toss them out or Jim leaves them in the breakroom. I thought I was being thoughtful , etc.
-
Phyl, this. Is not a Federal law! Vets require it to get patients in and get fees! Many vets insist on wellness check annually to get tge fee which is okay with me and none of my vet practice's did all, vacs on seniors and never refused treatment. Rabies vaccine is quite long lasting and animals titer higher prior to getting tge new vaccine than after, This is from the american veterinary association not a local person. Hopefully Tn will read the science! Good luck and I know you will do what you think is right . Would be interesting to ask your vet if he would titer her before deciding! Sorry, this is a real hot button issue for me. There are so many ither animal problems. Pets to Maggie

Yes!, I just read we broke our record high of 49 in 1931.....today was 51.

{{{Phyl and Maggie}}} you know the best. :-*. I'm thankful for the vets both in Scottsdale and Payson, that were especially careful with our senior pets in their last years with us. The kindness and care shown to us by our vets when we had to make end of life decisions for our furry family members I am forever grateful.

Lani, that baby sloth was sure licking his lips! I was cracking up at Sophie this morning, she was carrying a feather cat toy around, holding it up above her head and darting around trying to keep Sam from getting it. It was so cute, and of course by the time I got the camera she stopped, Here is a picture of them helping (NOT) me with a puzzle yesterday...
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/09/d0/bc/09d0bcb1c88182f625c2c6c02514b7c6.jpg)
Phyl, I never got rabies shots for my cats until we got Honey and Harley from the Animal Rescue League. They reported the transactions to some place that sends a bill every year for $18 per cat and proof of rabies shots. I looked up the states requirements for rabies, and see that Iowa only requires them for canines! You can read here what it says for Tennessee: https://www.animallaw.info/topic/table-rabies-vaccination-laws
kb, 48 here right now, it's like spring except there is still snow on the ground. Much less than there was last week though!
Lisa, hooray, you made it home! It's always good to be home, I bet Jeff, Bandit and Misty were glad to see you!
karen, I made the potato soup yesterday, and it was good! I used a different recipe, Ed didn't want the corn in it. https://throughthecookingglass.com/crockpot-potato-soup/ The only thing I changed was to use Chicken broth instead of the chicken base, and I used half and half instead of the milk (because I had already bought it for the other recipe).
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1d/58/12/1d5812d6da8f1ab8185df510004e93db.jpg)
tsk, you asked yesterday how different Sam and Sophie are. They kind of remind me of Talon and Bella, Sam is the quieter one, a bit reserved and Sophie is all over the place! Sam purrs as soon as you start petting him, and he tries to nuzzle if he can. This makes me think he should have stayed with Mama a little longer. Sophie loves the petting but we have yet to hear her purr! He is crazy in the litter box, trying to make sure his business is covered up! She barely covers it! If I think of more I will let you know!

Tig - Loved the vid of the beautiful BE released in MN! What a sweet girl and her family!!
Og - Good for your recent evening at Cards! Cute doggie that faked paw injury! ;D
Kb - Wish you could visit my area - as we broke the record for heat yesterday on 1/28, previous record was 78, they logged in 79 as breaking the record from 1934(?) We will be getting rain again this Wednesday! Beautiful Flamingo picture! :-*
BL - I hadn't realized the Buck that rested outside your house has 16 point horns-wow!!! Sure hope he stays safe as long as possible.
Lani - Thank you for Royal Albatross status.
Karen - Yikes - M15 hopefully doesn't do that again - scary.
Phyl - :) It was quite a game yesterday! Hubby's brother had come over to watch the game with us! I know you will make the right decision for your Maggie, but I am glad to read that you said you cancelled the appt for the Rabies shot - especially since she doesn't go anywhere.
Lani - Congrats on Mike's Chief's win!! Vegas!! 8)
Hi Tsk, Lori :)
LisaG - Happy you are home safe and I bet you got quite a warm welcome from Jeff, Bandit & Misty!! Hope your Mom continues to recoup nicely and feels a little bit better each day. {{Lisa's Mama}}

This happened on my bridge.

LISA Home safe and sound. ;D
PHYL You need not apologize.....You were being very thoughtful and I thank you, but didn't want you to have the expense of mailing to me when I can get free access at my library. Glad you made me aware of the story. I will have time this week to stop in. It is on my daily planner for Thurs LOL. ;) Glad you cancelled the appt. In a human related story I had to have a friend (nurse) give me some perspective with giving my mom a huge Calcium pill that I had to cut in half and which she had so much difficulty taking. My friend said, " Sue, she is 88 yrs old and do not think she needs to take Calcium any more"...sigh. Sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees.
KB Nice to be able to say that about the 51 breaking a record. Sure beats last year's situation ;) ;)
CLYNN How cute - your puzzle helpers. ;D Sophie has lighter fur. I love the differences you see in the cats. ;D
I have a friend who is doing a 4 month cruise...That I thought was long. I could not imagine 1 year on a ship. Glad there are people that do tho. It is huge. It is probably 10,000 steps to circuit the ship!

I slept in a Giant Redwood Tree with Jackson Browne and his wife Darryl Hannah one night.
The general conversation was so unexpectedly so cool by them.

I called and cancelled Mag's appointment today explaining to 'them' that today was too close to her last visit which was last week. That visit had frightened her to some degree. And, I thought it was too much stress---saying that I'd reschedule for a later time. I know Maggie had taken a spill in our bedroom last Sunday afternoon and landed on her 'sore shoulder and that frightened her. I was in here and not there to ' pick up the pieces' so-to-speak and console her .
CLynn tks for the link and that is what I thought. Like I said earlier 'feel between a rock and a hard place' . Luv that Sam/Sophie; With your modifications, Karen's soup looks as good as ever.
Tsk glad you'll be able to read the articles. Just a thought---some libraries will let a person have the old periodicals when not timely. And,
some donate them to nursing homes and the like. It's an issue you might want to keep for yourself--- :-\ I can appreciate your human side of the vaccine issue w/ Mags and you are right--- But the law is the law and I could be hurting her more by not complying.
BL for real ? Cool.
Lisa sooooooo you home? In one piece and all...
-
Phyl, you are a great researcher so investigate this for yourself and have it in hand when you reschedule! Let him help solve the problem! Also see what the vet school thinks and see if they will help modify the law as other states have done. You will do the right thing for you and Maggie!
Clynn, soup looks great and chock a block full of goodies! The kitties are growing and maybe Sam should have stayed with Momma longer but? Cute little ones!
My friend Mickeys cousin has just adopted 3 Maltese puppies! 8 weeks old! They should be staying with their mom longer! Being picked up Wednesday.
Tsk, eagkes! Have a good day! Er, Night!

Climbers those 2 I can attest to.
Checking in on the other climbers like M & D 's.
It was sweet and special.

Lisa, Welcome home! :-*
Clynn cute puzzle helpers... soup looks delicious. I'm going to make it for Mike without the corn and green onions. Add heavy whipping cream to the chicken broth... that cruise ship is a carnival on water! Perfect for the young! ;D. ... awww Keebler.... Baby sloth Binx just wants more milk. Did you catch the wink at the end?

Lani, so Mike doesn't like the corn in the soup either! Yes, I caught the sweet little wink from Binx! Awww, what a sweet good night dog...
BL, squack is right.... ;D
karen, 3 puppies at once! that's a handful!
Phyl, Where are you this morning? I have no doubt you take excellent care of Maggie, you have a good vet, he should be able to advise you on what is best for her... We are set for a high of 41 today, and then 5 days in the 50s! I am sure that will change. :o What a strange winter it has been so far.
Lisa, so it was your bridge that had that accident! I thought so, and I am so glad you were far away from it! I am sure Jeff heard all about it! It's good to be home I am sure!
E4E, Sam and Sophie are exploring more and more! They just discovered the computer a few days ago and are fascinated with the screen and the mouse moving all over it!

eburg - Thank you for the heads-up!
clynn - Jeff had called me to let me know about the accident. He said, it was very foggy Saturday morning and that both spans of the bridge were closed for several hours. I too, am glad he, or I were not crossing that day. How are you making out with your eye? Are you adjusting? Very cool Stelvio Pass, Eastern Alps, Italy, but also scary looking!
tsk - Yes...safe and sound an yes, time for coffee!!! It's so good to have a pot of my own. :)
Lani - Thank you :D
Phyl - Yep, I am home, and all in one piece. ;D
BL - Jackson Browne would be on the stereo, as my Dad would be outside BBQ'ing when I was younger. He loved his music.
E4E - Bandit and Jeff were excited to see me. Misty was a lil skittish at first. I thought that was a lil odd, but I had never been away from her before.

Eagles4 - Oh I'd love to visit you....maybe the only place in all of California I wouldn't mind these days.
Trouble is we need to devise a new kind of transportation system, LOL...I don't fly anymore, nor drive on freeways...trains that derail all the time, nope.
Hey, I got an idea: you travel here in the summer!
Lisa - nice to hear you are back home safely.
BL - In the mid 70's I ate lunch in West Hollywood with someone? and Daryl Hannah sat at the table right next to us. Those were the days when actors/Hollywood moguls etc. were able to publicly show up anywhere without being harassed.
And, now she's married to Neil Young!

Hmm, what you doing here? ...looking for Rutt maybe? He was heading NW.
A citizen took a video of it but not shareable...but, I heard it!

Phyl, interesting about a battery powered air plane! What does Jim say about this? Do not think I will be flying anywhere in 10 years unless it is with the eagles! Lol
Sunny day with temps peaking about 60 this afternoon!
Lisa, is Misty friendlier now! Perhaps she was angry that you left!
There are 😭2 males Maltese puppies. As yet unnamed and one female, now named Lucy! That was my pick but they did not know it and we are not acquainted! They live in a house with a large fenced in yard and enough room for these puppies! The thought of house training makes me nervous!
The owls who took over the nest in the west pasture at swfl have at least one baby! Wish they would stay away from the eagles!

Morning Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Clynn, I think my picky eater man Mike will like the bacon (well done) on top of the potato soup. Heavy cream will thicken it more, which he loves... for myself I'll top it with bacon, corn, green onions & white cheddar cheese!... zig zagging Stelvio Pass reminds me of a few roads from Payson north to Flagstaff.... squirrels do that here too! Sit on the patio fence where one of our feeders hang, and peer into the large kitchen window! Their tails flipping up and down. LOL!!
Thanks Eburg for the cams update! :)
Lisa, glad you're home... Misty was probably punishing you. ;D ... how's your mama today!
Kb, darling pup! Owl police! ;D
Phyl, yesterday, I had the same tech problems as you did today. That's probably how I ended up with two morning posts.... thanks for beautiful nature video and article electric concept plane. I wonder what life will be like in 2033.
Hi Tig :)
-
CLYNN Yes I did - always ;) ;) Cute pan birdhouse - I'm always so concerned about clean out LOL
EBURGH Thanks for the heads up. :D
KB Didn't realize Daryll Hannah was married to Neil Young :o Just the right spot for that snowy LOL
PHYL Cute little morning birdie Ughhh on your computer issues. Short but beautiful 365
EAGLES If you came to KB's I'd drive up and we could all meet. ;) ;)
KAREN House training would make me nervous too!!
Gotta run - finish later
-
Hmm, actually 4 F-22's flew into MSP today. 3 left and 1 still here.
-
kb - Thank you :D Cute pup in your morning pic. "When you get pulled over by the Owl Police, MN" ;D
Phyl - Sorry about your issues with Chrome, and RRP forum crashing. Thanks for the 365.
tig - Same for me....laundry!
karen - Yep, she is...I have never left her before...Bandit is use to it. Aww, have the cams at SWFL got a peek of the owl baby?
Lani - Mama sounded good when I talked to her earlier. Thanks for the Royal update.
tsk - You sound busy today.
-
It’s +12C (54 F) here at the moment. What a difference a couple of weeks make. But I am not fooled. We still have to get through February and March can be a brute at times too!

Stonehens!! ;D

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :)
I walked 28 minutes yesterday, and 40 minutes today. Today I walked down Bluebird Lane, but it was the wrong time of day for a Bluebird Escort there. ;) I went from there, across the way to the kayak launch in the woods. The water in that area was higher than usual. Most of the birds seem to have been on break - it was around noon. I have noticed they tend to be more active certain times of day, and that is not one of those times.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBORAHG! :D
Lani, the dachshunds were a hoot!! They looked so calm and serene, too. They must be in the habit. ;)
Lisa, glad you're safely home, and good to hear your mother is doing well. Misty was in a snit, maybe? LOL, I bet she has come around by now. ;) :D
BL, were you and Jackson and Daryl up there for environmental reasons? I remember a time when there were people staying in the Redwoods to save them from removal, and also to save them from being poached.
Clynn, LOL, what a hoot - Sam and Sophie helping you with the online puzzle. :D :-* My nephew's younger twins are about the same age as my Littlest Greatniece, and one of those twins lost a front tooth a few weeks back, but her twin hasn't lost her 1st tooth yet... and they are identical twins. That has surprised me. I bet Bella, and my nephew's other younger twin, lose a tooth soon... Get the Tooth Fairy buyout ready! ;) :)
Karen, I saw that story about electric plane development, too. Seeing all the recent news about electric cars having trouble with the batteries losing their charge so much more quickly in the colder temps would give me pause, and I would need to know more, because it gets a lot colder the higher a plane goes, as we know. I would hate to be aboard when the "Battery is low!" warning sounded!! ;D ;D
TSK, I used to enjoy sitting in a comfortable chair at the library to flip through and read some great magazines and newspapers I didn't subscribe too. That kind of went out the window during the pandemic, and I haven't gotten back in the habit. Hearing you mention doing that makes me want to go to a local branch to check out doing that again soon. My doctor and dentist offices stopped putting out reading material during the pandemic, also, for obvious reasons, and they haven't changed that since. I wonder what I will discover at my library these days in that regard.
Hi Emyraud! Heat wave! ;D
Eburg, thanks for the headsup on those cams going live again! :)
Gotta run... things to do before my Tarheels play tonight at 7p, my time. Go Heels! :D
-
Emy, we are having the same thing here, temps in the 50's for several days. Strange after the brutal cold temps and snow we had just a couple of weeks ago! I remember many March snow storms, April and even a couple in early May! :o :o
Lisa, glad Mom is still doing well! Misty will come around! Harley may be mad at me because he has to stay downstairs with Ed during the day, but he pretty much did that before we got the kittens so I don't feel so bad. I want to keep them separated until the kittens are 'fixed' and recovered, just because he is so big and they are so little and he hisses loudly! They will be 3 months old on 2/3 so I think it's time to make the appointments.
kb, ahhh, the sounds I grew up with living on all the Air Force Bases! We were quite used to it but still loved to look up in the sky and watch them!
tsk, yes, some of those decorative bird houses don't look like they would be easy to clean out. I suppose you could just take it apart and put it back together every year... Speaking of Daryll Hannah, I just read that she is pregnant! She is 60 and Neil Young is 75! https://www.madhousemagazine.com/neil-young-and-daryl-hannah-expecting-their-first-child-together/
Lani, thank you for always bringing us the updates on our sweet Albys, love the videos!
Phyl, the Pyrenees are breathtaking, love when the animals enter the scene!
baz, good to see you! Stonehens.... LOLOL! I have been gathering birthday presents for Bella and Sydney, both have February birthdays! Bella will be 6, Sydney will be 30!

Congrats to Jackie & Shadow!! :) :)
Hi Eburg :)
LisaG - Happy you had a nice welcome home by Jeff & Bandit. Maybe Misty was letting you know that she was not pleased that you were gone from home for a while!? :-\ You never know! ;) :)
Kb/Tig - I would like to visit MN as it is a beautiful State - just don't know if it will ever happen!
Karen - I just read what you said to LisaG about maybe Misty was angry that she was gone!! I thought of that too, before I read that you said the same thing!!Lol! ;D
Lani - Liked the Albatross family reunites vid!
Tsk - It is tempting for me to make a trip to MN one of these days! I would love to meet you and Kb! I've already met Tig, but would love to see her again too!
Baz - Good for you with your walking! :)
Beakers have a good night - sleep well :)

Lisa, glad Miss Fischer's favorite fan is doing well. :-*
Hi Emy, you're having a heat wave! ;D
Baz, "Stonehens" LOL! You have a wonderful area to walk....sorry about the Tarheels.

Phyl, very interesting on Amelia Earhart's plane! We will have to wait and see if they really found it! More beauty in the 365! Thanks for Amy's Blog with the usual egg laying times, it won't be long! 27 here now, high 54 today!!! With partial sun!
oldguy, dang, it's getting so you have to double check everything these days. Here's another fake article, picture obviously photoshopped, showing Daryll and Neil with their twins two years later... https://www.madhousemagazine.com/neil-young-daryl-hannah-announce-birth-of-twins/ I should have been suspicious by the name of the source, MadHouse Magazine... ::)

Baby elephant fell asleep, worried mother elephant went to get the keepers because she couldn't wake up her baby.
I'm flummoxed. I have 3 Scott made short dog leashes for Ollie man in his house. Blue and white rope with 3 different clasps.
One is somehow missing...the one with the hardest clasp to open btw.
I've looked inside and out and can't find it.
Have no idea how this can happen. I hook him up with his short rope on in front and last evening when I went to do that before opening the door (I hold on to him when I do with the short rope) it was gone so I put on another.
An hour or so earlier I had taken him out back and then I attach a retractable leash on him (only place I use it for out back in the dark) I don't take his short leash off either...but don't remember if it was on or not. I think I would have noticed.
I can't imagine how he could get it off himself.
Couldn't go back to sleep last night just thinking about it. LOL

tsk, it's coming! TWC says this for us today Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. It will be wonderful with 54 and sun! Should take care of most of the snow (except for the huge piles that will take longer...).
Puff, it's a very good 'pick me up'!

I found it!....outside in the fenced in back yard. The grass is a bit tall so earlier this am I didn't see it.
I have no idea how it came off him.
Luckily I don't walk him with these nor use them for anything other than holding on to him before letting him hooking him up outside.
Less flummoxed, but still some.

Baby News! Eagle Country SW Florida CONGRATULATIONS On First Hatch of Season

1/31/2024~Eagle Country~CONGRATULATIONS On First Hatch of Season 2023-2024🐥 via ladydeeagle55 https://youtu.be/ET6IpIQRFJU?feature=shared
First good view of the Eaglet.. Welcome little one..🐥
Following the unfortunate incident when Hurricane Ian brought down the nest tree that Blaze and Abby once occupied, we’ve been eagerly awaiting to see where they might choose to rebuild. Throughout the last season, we observed their presence, but there was no clear “established nest,” and regrettably, no eaglets.Today, we are delighted to report that they are constructing a new nest in a fresh location on our family’s property, approximately 700 feet southwest of the old nest site. The tree they’ve selected is robust and has weathered numerous storms. We’ve revitalized our equipment and installed our cameras in this tree, believing it will become their new nest site. As we rebuild, we plan to add more features. Currently, you can enjoy our Nest Cam, Bayhead Cam, Remote Tree Cam, and our beloved Cow Cam.The future was uncertain, but it brings us immense delight to witness their long-awaited return.We’re excited to once again share with you the majesty of the American bald eagles.
Some Back History ..
Eagles have nested here since 2001. Their original nest and tree blew down in Hurricane Irma after 16 years. Nic & Vic (the pair at the time ) They built a new nest in an adjacent tree. That nest unfortunately blew down in an unseasonable storm on 12-21-18. The nest you see now, the eagles built up after Dandy & Spur. Nic & Vic nested again and fledged 2 more,Hickory & Mossy in 2019/2020 season.
Nic & Vic did not nest here last season 2020/2021. Our hope is that they have moved on to a new area..There were a few males Eagles Fighting over the territory,nest and the 1 constante female which Eagle Country named Abigail( Abby) for short. As of Nov 1st 2021 ,when cams went live again for this season, it's been Abby and Skippy (one of the frequent males from last season) (now named Blazer,Blaze for short) here as a new pair. We wish them luck in their new relationship and hopefully for a great season with Bobbleheads too.

Oldguy, thanks for the info on Daryl Hannah... great links.
Phyl, my good night pics always reflect my thoughts and prayers, and at that moment I thought of lonely lost souls whether human or God's beautiful critters that just want to feel the warmth of being touched, comforted and loved.... thanks for RRP blog. I giggled when I saw Decorah Geese listed too! So cute! ;D ... Thanks for Amelia Earhart article, her story will always be a mystery to solve.
Clynn sweet Harley and kittens.... interesting US states ranked by its beauty. Kansas/Iowa 49 & 50 ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... magnificent pic of Mr and Mrs DN
Lori, Congratulations to Eagle Country SW Florida and their new baby! Prayers for a successful season.
Kb, YAY Tower and the sun is shining... awww baby ellie and mom, sweet story. :-*
Hi Tsk, Lisa, Puff, Tig, Eagles :-*

BL How did that ever happen - the Redwood tree thing?
BL, were you and Jackson and Daryl up there for environmental reasons? I remember a time when there were people staying in the Redwoods to save them from removal, and also to save them from being poached.
Baz/Tsk
I guess you could call it a environmental 'stunt' that Jackson & Daryl were doing to raise awareness for the Giant Redwood Trees. They are both very active environmentalists. I was living in San Diego at the time and had made friends and climbed with some of the climbers that later went on to work on this iconic Nat-Geo picture/article. (https://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2009/09/redwoods.html) That's how I got this gig on a recommendation from one of those climbers back in 1990 as he knew J.B. somehow.
I was hired as part of the climbing safety & rigging team as I had prior experience climbing in the CA Giants. We were not told who the 'A-List' clients were going to be before we arrived at the undisclosed location.
We were just told "for god's sake don't let either of these 2 people fall out of the tree" .. well yeah duh' that kind of our job. They were both very cool and down to earth (so to speak) people with no celebrity attitude what so ever. And very good tippers I might add. ;D
They both had previous rock and tree climbing experience so it wasn't like we had to man-haul them up to their Portaledge (https://www.mapquest.com/travel/outdoor-activities/hiking/portaledge.htm) for the nights sleepover. The weather was perfect 150' up that night as I recall and the sounds of the forest canopy critters was jaw dropping as usual. 8)

baz, good to see you! Stonehens.... LOLOL! I have been gathering birthday presents for Bella and Sydney, both have February birthdays! Bella will be 6, Sydney will be 30!

Clynn, thanks for the Jackie and Shadow pic and update! Talons crossed for a successful season for them this year! :-* The Weather Channel did a highlight on them this morning while I was catching up on the weather news! - showing their Live Nest Cam and it looked like maybe it was Jackie on the 2 eggs in the nest at that time. Fun to see them talked about on a TV show that gets such broad coverage!! I hope it gets people who don't already follow live cams to look into it and learn more and care more about Bald Eagle, raptors, and "Nurture and Nature" issues. Our Earth needs all the love and care it can get! Thanks for sharing, and thanks to The Weather Channel, too! :)
Clynn, those are big birthdays coming up soon for Bella and Sydney! My younger twins turned 6 in December, and my LGN will turn 6 not long after Bella does. I remember I was 6 years old when I lost my first front tooth. I bet Bella loses hers soon! Sydney turning 30! The younger folks won't be able to trust her anymore... LOL... Remember that throwback saying from our days at that age, about not being able to trust people over 30? I was on my 2nd wedding's honeymoon on my 30th birthday, in Key West. At that time, I thought my 30th b'day was the best birthday ever! My songtrack then was, "Margaritaville," but it was replaced later by, "All My Exes Live in Texas." ;D

Clynn, awww, it looks like Harley is in the middle of doing his Sun Salute yoga stretch this morning. :-* He's getting a big dose of love from his Mom. :-* And, LOL on Sophie's super-relaxed sleeping positions. :D I think Sam is looking at you and thinking, "Mommm!! Get Sophie's butt out of my face!!" ;D ;) :-* :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
Lani, thanks for the great pics and updates on the Royal Albies! :) I stay amazed at how calm those gentle giant Royal Albatross parents stay with "the hoomans" handling them and their eggs, babies, and nests. Bless those wonderful "hoomans!" :-* :-* :-* Yeah... it wasn't a happy night last night here after the game... ::) I sure hope my Heels can pull it together before they host the Dookies on Saturday!! !! !! Major history between the 2 teams, of course, and since so long ago, as our two campuses are only a 12-minute drive apart... well, depending on the weight of the foot on the accelerator pedal. ;) GO HEELS! :D
TSK, cocoa sounds good! Maybe I will make a cup, too - my bones are chilled for some reason today. Yep, my only still-living "Ex" now lives in, you guessed it - Texas!! 8)
Karen, awww... great pic of Lucy, Cooper, and Max, on their way home with one of their new Forever Family members. :) :-* :-*
E4E, I watched The Weather Channel this morning and saw the news of the next giant Pacific storm coming ashore soon in CA and the Pacific northwest. It's going to bring loads of precip, and very high winds and waves in places, too. There will be feet of snow in some of the higher CA elevations, and it looks like loads of rain coming over a number of days for most all of CA, and beyond - drought-busting stuff, with hopes that it doesn't all come too fast, and I don't think it is expected to. So I hope that means you will be getting some nice rain for your area over the upcoming days.
Lisa, I bet your mom is counting down the days to Mardi Gras, and the next Miss Fischer gathering! Continued good wishes for her recovery to stay on pace. It sounds like every one is back in the groove at your place. :D
KB, glad you found the missing leash. Clynn has posted some beautiful pictures of places in Norway recently, and that has reminded me that you had expressed interest in my nephew's recent trip to Norway, staying in the town of Tromso, above the Arctic Circle, and his day trips and forays to even farther points north while he was there. Below, I attached a couple of pics he took of some yummy-looking meals he had while there... The 1st meal pictured included Smoked cod and roe with creme fraiche, peppers and lingonberries. The 2nd meal pictured includes Whale and red wine sauce with lingonberry, potato salad, pickled onions and carrots. Both meals were in Tromso, Norway.
-
Baz - Thanks for those yummy looking pics.!
As I stated my ancestors are all from Norway.....just not quite that far north!
I grew up on lutefisk and lefsa....and, my grandma visited her home in Norway many times up into her 80's
I have a geneology paper with all their names and cities and when they left for america in 1865....
Pretty cool.
He'll have to share his impression when he returns with us.
Is he Norwegian?
-
Lani - Thanks for the Royal update. Love how the Royal parents are so trusting of the rangers with their baby.
karen - Who is getting new puppies? I might have missed you saying that.
tsk - If I am not mistaken, today is National Hot Chocolate Day. Enjoy yours! :D
baz - Funny you should mention Mardi Gras, when the surgeon came in before surgery Mama asks her...will I be able to go to Mardi Gras? I rolled my eyes, and the surgeon tells her, yes as long as you are not jumping around for beads. ::) ;D
Have a good night, everyone!
-
BAZI Loved the colorful, cheerful " Oh Happy DAY" :D :D Made me smile. And Mardi Gras is sooner than later this year!! So is your nephew back now and have you spoken to him? Best trip ever? Would he go back? Loved the pics.
I might have to have a whole glass of wine first before I dug into those meals as beautiful as they looked.
LISA And she didn't warn Mama not to flash her boobs? - just not to jump up and down . LOLOL

Been busy for a few days. At least for me! Got a hair cut yesterdat, bought some graphite for the storm door lock , fixed that and srnt a package back thru Fed Ex! Spent a lot of time on the phone with my neighbor who has ben talking to Mickey, my friend in Illinois about selling our houses and buying a lot on a lame where she just broke ground for a house! This town is so small you cannot find it on the map and the only grocery store is Piggly Wiggly which is in the next town! Mickey can go but I am not moving there! The lake is very small and has alligator! Lots are over priced at over 100,000! The only businesses in town are a gas station and a Dollar General!
Today I washed and folded clothes, washed hair, washed bathroom rugs, cleaned a little little and finally read the
Beak! Nothing exciting here! Hoping those in the midwest and Alaska did not get a sun burn today!
This is the second time I have read the Amelia Earhart article and I think it is her plane . Time and a lot more money will tell!
-
kb I believe Rutt is NW somewhere of Fertile, MN.
It just makes Topographic hoof's sense.
-
Lisa, Mickey, my friend in Springfield, Il, cousin is getting the puppies. Supposed to be 6 pounds when full grown! The breeder has them trained to hope in a crate at night as she says, kennel up! Tgey run and jump in. When Mickey met her to get the puppies, the breeder had a bichon
Frise . It was out of the car and as they git ready ti leave she said something and the dog jumped in the car. She then said passenger and it got right in the passenger seat! Too cute! You would not need tie outs with this kind if training!
Well, I have. Driven thru a lot of of
the states on the list and I do not think Iowa is 50! I do not agree with the list!
Thanks for the eagle nest info and pictures, Clynn and Lori. Bl, good deal on the Redwoods! Lani, thanks for the Royal Akbies report. Amazing how calm they are! Phyl, thanks for reports! Bazi, those dinners pictured were not in my Norwegian grandmothers dinner rotation! She made. a wonderful Cherry Pie!
Seds all.

Kb - Happy you found Ollies's leash!!
Lori - Thanks for eagle info!
LisaG - My mom is doing alright - thank you for asking :) Is Misty back to her normal self with you? :) I really think she missed you very much!
Karen - Cute puppies!!! I too have been reading and listening to the news about Amelia Earhart and it sure does look like a plane!
Tsk - How are B & T doing these days? :)
Baz - So true about heavy rain being expected in our surrounding area for the next few days. However, because we live in a 'valley' we do not get near as much rain as the Santa Cruz Mts., Big Sur area and other nearby towns. We sure get the strong winds!!
Beakers have a good night - sleep well :)

Karen, love the sweet puppies. The breeder is an excellent trainer too.... Goodness you're having a busy week.
Baz My goodness, I can't even remember my 30th birthday! I'm sure it was fun, since I love birthdays!! ;D "All My Exes Live in Texas." ;D ... I know how you feel about Tarheels loss. We lost two games last week. Killed by 3-pointers. UGH!! Thank God the Chiefs won or else it would have been a total loss for me! I don't take losing a game very well. :-[ Well, neither does Mike, we both hide in separate rooms for awhile. :-X ... Aly lived in Norway for three years. I wonder if she ever tried whale? ???
Lisa, it is amazing how trusting the albies are with the rangers. I love seeing the two nests close together compared to last season. Now, we can watch the two chicks visit and keep each other company. I didn't realize Mardi Gras was so soon. Lent starts early this year... I can't imagine your mama jumping for beads! But, then she is Miss Fisher's favorite fan. Miss Fisher would be jumping for beads and then some!! 8)
BL Thanks for Rutt update.
Eagles, Aly will be getting some of that rain that coming your way... It's a large front that I've been watching moving slowly over the Pacific.... hopefully, we'll get some moisture as it moves inward.... I'm hoping that is Amelia E. plane too.
Tsk, I know the Albatross letters for names can be confusing, they stand for the color of the 3 leg bands. I know there is a reason for the color bands. I hope the below information helps. ;D
"Northern royal albatross banded at Taiaroa Head have a stainless steel band on the right leg and 1–3 coloured bands on the left leg.
There are exceptions to this, eg the opposite is the case for birds that are from the Chatham Islands.
The colours we use are: black, blue, green, lime, yellow, orange, red, white and pink.
We read the colour bands from the top down, for example, green on top and orange below would read as GO.
Except for black, record the colour by its first letter, for example, red = R. Black should be recorded as K to avoid confusion with B for blue."

Put out more Hills and Hydra Care for her. And, came up here. Thought, 'Well by the time I get 'turned in' it'll be 'post time'.
Soooo, here I am. ??? When I finish I'll get some 'shut-eye' then life as it's usual Thursday-self. ::)

CLynn Most beauitful states in the USA---Hot Dog!! My home state of California is #1 and I live in #20, Tennessee. Harley is too precious. Thanks for the Decorah Eagles - Sue Bruhling photos; awesome about the Indiana Bell Bldg.
Lori many thanks for the update on SW Florida , hatch---'Welcome to the world!
Eagles Maggie is much like me---strong and a fighter in a small package. She's doing well for her health---a cat like her only comes once to a human. Y'all will never know how special she is nor how difficult this 'good-bye' has become.

PHYL This group has ample representation in the "we understand" league. We know, we care, and we pray for both of you, and for Maggie of course. My Ashley still has her spot on the dinette table/chair. I stroke her urn in the morn and at bedtime. I know I should be better by now, but. . .
And then there's med issues we have to handle. That ain't fun. Mine is in regard to my cardiologist. Fantastic care and help for 15 years. He's retiring (for sure this time) he says in April. How do I ever express the good feelings I have for him. It's not what I'd like, but he has earned and deserves the change. He led the show in June and kept me going. Not too any docs I'm sure would show up after midnight on a Fri/Sat night. How ever can I say how much I thank him and appreciate him.

Puff, sounds like you have a doctor from the old school, what a blessing he was for you!
Phyl, you know you were really tired, you fell asleep in the Lazy Boy and woke up in the morning. Maggie was miffed, bless her little heart! Thanks for the 365, although I can't watch those like that... My first car was a 1962 Ford Fairlane. I got it for my 18th birthday, Dad paid $285 for it and it had a Vietnam sticker on the trunk. Column shift, which I had never drove before! Thanks for Amy's Blog, hoping for a great season for the North's this year!
Lani, thanks for the info on the naming of the Albatross couples! Still confusing but they know what they are doing! Sweet picture of the little Top Flat chick with the foster parent...
BL, good music...
E4E, hope you don't get too much rain!
karen, sounds like you are doing more and more on your own! I think you are doing great!!
For Throwback Thursday, me at age 2 ! I remember these, we called them tent dresses!

tsk - Too funny, no warning of boobie flashing at Mardi Gras, just the jumping up and down. ;D ;D
karen - Oh, I don't think you would be happy moving to that small town. ;D Thanks for the info on the pups.
BL - Thanks for the tunes.
E4E - Yep, she is back to her old self. Glad to hear your Mom has been doing good, too.
Lani - Yes, Mardi Gras is early this year, and I missed the date of having a King Cake shipped here! I was going to get one at the grocery store by Mama's, but I knew it would have been dried out by the time I got back home. Awww, Top Flat, so sweet.
Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post. How is Maggie doing, better now?
Puff - I know how you feel about your doc retiring. I have had the same PCP for the past 25 years, and he retired this past year. Another doc took over his practice, then moved it 45 minutes away. I just cannot get use to her. I do need to find someone else.
-
clynn - Look at your cute 2 year old self. :D
-
Lisa, glad to hear Mom is back to her old self, that was a good recovery! It took you longer to get there and back than it did for her to recover! I think one could show boobies without jumping up and down... ::) ::) I also know what you and Puff mean, my doctor of 20+ years left to teach and I am not so comfortable with the new one, and now she has a PA that is a bit on the brisk side... Sigh!
Anyone remember these?

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS
KAREN Phew Was a very busy day for you. Few questions. Whose land is it and where? I think it is your neighbor's land?
EAGLES B&T doing fine in Fl. It has been a cold and damp January however. They've had to put their heat on for part of the day.
LANI Thanks for that great explanation of the initials for names. Cute little snuggle in that close-up :) Hope the good night kitty did not burn it's nose on the light bulb ;)
PHYL I just love stick dances ;D. Thanks for Amy's blog. Love that wolf series 365
PUFF Boy, nothing harder than giving up a good doc who knows you so well. Hope he will recommend one who will tend to you like he did.
CLYNN Love it when they paint the sides of buildings. It only improves life for everyone. Such a cute pic of you ;D I do remember that tent dress style.
-
tsk Had much in common to talk about. Appointments were always about 1/2 hour. First he had to know where I had been. Hope he treats himself and his wife, and family (?) to some fun travels. He'd sometimes have his PA call and ask for materials about ?. But he seldom got to take good length of time off. Wanted to know what I would recommend. I said he should streamline his routine, share the burden and time with others - just not my appointments ::) It's interesting, too, that he wanted to know what to do about all the free time. Some people never learn, never ask. (Ton!)
He/We also always found time to talk about the veggie garden. Got him started on that with suggestions and answers during spring and summer appts.
He was (is?) head of Good Samaritan cardiology. Wanted to know how retirement hours should be handled. He doesn't want to be bored. I find too many retirees like to say they keep busy. For those who have success and satisfaction in their careers you should not think of it that way. You have to do more than keep busy. You have to keep those successful feelings of achievement in what you then do.
One thing I definitely learned after last year is that I am not done. I retired at 30 teaching in 1994; I started new adventures in 1993 as travel advisor. As of 2024 I've now started again with ownership of my own travel business. I'm goofy, I'm 80, but I'm not done? I'll see what happens in the next year or two to see if I want to retire again. ;D 8)
My schedule before was started at 6 a.m. to hit the expressway (strange term at that hour) to drive into the city. Now I start with my first cup of tea by 6.
Already did a couple preps for later today. Have a honey-do list (I make for myself) that I'll run short of time to finish. There's always later. ;D I sound smug. Sorry! Not!!!!!

Well, that's a change. . .I left N1 and its low sunrise to come here and hog/post in the Beak. Went back to check latest at N1 - it's covered in fog.
Made 40 by me yesterday; hoping for 50's today.

Puff, no rocking chairs! Got to keep on keeping on or we will just fade into the sunset... You go girl!

Paul Pluswik posts this sunset last night in Ely, MN
We have had some gorgeous ones as well.
Morning all.
Busy day for me.
BL - as my 86 year old neighbor would say: Yep, yep, yep....on Rutt being NW of Fertile, MN
Myself, I don't like painted buildings....a few may be phenomenal, but in general murals/tagging everywhere to me is disgusting.
No more disgusting however than our "Soviet Style" apartment buildings being built everywhere in the Twin Cities.
People have forgotten wheat beautiful architecture looks like...it is NOT soul destroying for the people who live in them, not live near them.

bounce
Yes, KB, I have remarked about our sunsets several times this week!
Root Beer Fizzies was my favorite as a child.
Here is my throwback pic (aged 2, 4, 5) ... I just happen to have a folder of old pics handy while working to declutter.
Happy eagle-watching Thursday!
-
clynn - Mama is doing very well with her recovery, and can resume her normal activities on Feb 6th. For now, she is still taking it slow around the house. Oooo, love the bookcase mural.
tsk - Cute FEBRUARY greeting.
Puff - A very thick dense looking fog in Decorah this morning.
Phyl - Thanks for the 365.
kb - WOW, that gorgeous sky!
tig - Awww, cute pic of your lil self.

Morning Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
{{{Tig}}} oh my gosh! adorable pics :-*
Kb, love the sunset over Ely, MN Black Bear country! :-*
Lisa Easter is going to be early this year, late March. I feel like spring is being rushed! LOL! .. so glad your mama is going slow and easy. ;D
Clynn, Each Albatross is tagged with color bands so they can be clearly identified as to who, what, when & where they come from. That is how they can go back in their records with each Albatross to the early 1900's.... Love the painted buildings .... awww you're adorable! ... love the 60's dresses. They were an quick and easy pattern to sew. I could make one dress in a day... Heavy snow over Big Bear Eagles nest :'( prayers to keep the eggs from freezing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L2nfGcuE
{{{Puff}}} {{{Ashley}}} there's no better place for her to be :-* I always see our pets urns everyday. No one knows but me.... Oh, how I understand how you feel about your special doctor retiring. Living in Salina, Kansas and then leaving behind the doctors/medical associates that we became close friends too was difficult. We don't have that same relationship here.
{{{Phyl, Miss Maggie and Jim}}} "Go Red!" ... classic Thursday Throwback pics :). .... thanks for RRP update on The Norths! I pray this will be a successful season for them.
Mike should be landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor soon and be home this afternoon. ;D
Have a great day everyone!
Prayers the snow stops over Big Bear Eagles nest.
Keep mama and the three eggs warm!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
-
PUFF You have a wonderful relationship with your doc. Think that is where Tim has gone astray. No hobbies, no interest in volunteering or exercise, Now even golf and fishing are less and of course only summer. That's what makes us all different...Think we may have just hit 50...Bright and sunny and am loving it.
CLYNN We haven't seen a 3 egg nest in a long time. Thanks for the Big Bear update. That wall painting is amazing!!!
TIG Weren't you just a cutie - Love the devilish look in the 5 yr pic ;D
LANI Beautiful AM heart. :) Love all of Lynn's winter posts. Such a variety of critters to watch.
-
Baz - Thanks for those yummy looking pics.!
As I stated my ancestors are all from Norway.....just not quite that far north!
I grew up on lutefisk and lefsa....and, my grandma visited her home in Norway many times up into her 80's
I have a geneology paper with all their names and cities and when they left for america in 1865....
Pretty cool.
He'll have to share his impression when he returns with us.
Is he Norwegian?
KB, I wondered about his cod meal, but it doesn't look like it was prepared the way lutefisk is. My nephew doesn't have any Norwegian family on his mother's side (my sister/my family), and, to my knowledge, he doesn't have any on his father's side. I might have to ask my sister about that to confirm about on his father's side (my sister's ex-husband). He, and his father's family, is tall though! :)

Been busy for a few days. At least for me! Got a hair cut yesterdat, bought some graphite for the storm door lock , fixed that and srnt a package back thru Fed Ex! Spent a lot of time on the phone with my neighbor who has ben talking to Mickey, my friend in Illinois about selling our houses and buying a lot on a lame where she just broke ground for a house! This town is so small you cannot find it on the map and the only grocery store is Piggly Wiggly which is in the next town! Mickey can go but I am not moving there! The lake is very small and has alligator! Lots are over priced at over 100,000! The only businesses in town are a gas station and a Dollar General!
Today I washed and folded clothes, washed hair, washed bathroom rugs, cleaned a little little and finally read the
Beak! Nothing exciting here! Hoping those in the midwest and Alaska did not get a sun burn today!
This is the second time I have read the Amelia Earhart article and I think it is her plane . Time and a lot more money will tell!
Karen, you were very busy! Yay for getting your haircut, too! Okay, I need you to clarify for me... Do you mean Mickey is building a house on a small lake in a small town in Georgia? I thought you meant she is building in Illinois, till you said there's an alligator in that lake. So then I guessed it might be in Georgia. Is Mickey building it to be a vacation home for her in the south, or will she be moving there permanently when that house is finished, or is she building it on spec to sell? News2 wants to know. ;) ;D I agree with you about the plane! Based on what I have learned about it, and its location, and her flight plans at that time, it sure does beg the question, and there are no other plane crash incidents known for that location. Plus, her plane's tail configuration was not a common one, and it has the same shape as what the sonar view shows. But I think they said it is in 16,000 feet of water! I know that sonar images from deep water can so often fool the eye. It will be interesting to learn what they find if they ever get a deep water submersible to get closer to try to better identify what that is. It would be incredible if it turns out to be her plane!

You know I would not lead one astray.

BL, thanks for that great tune. Nice video with it!

Lisa, good to hear that Mom is taking it slow! Jennifer (our RN) always told us that rushing recovery is probably the worst thing you can do!
Lani, beautiful Fisher, and in the Bear Study, lovely Mink and beautiful Fox! Mike coming home, I bet he will be glad to walk in the door!
tig, you were a cutie, well, I guess we all were back then! I often made a dress in one day, I was quite a seamstress until about 15 years ago! I made 5 things in Home Ec class while most worked on one, and I always tried to help the others. It's just like most things, it was in my blood!
tsk, you're right, we haven't had a nest with 3 eggs since the last of Mom and Dad Decorah, the year Dad disappeared!
kb, you think painted murals on buildings are disgusting? Some aren't very good, but there are many that are beautiful!
Beautiful mural in Cincinnatti! They showcase their murals, you can even take a tour! https://www.artworkscincinnati.org/public-art/murals/all-murals/

Clynn... my best recollection is my Mom made most, if not all, of my dresses in those days. I did not take home ec but my Mom enrolled me in a sewing class. She decided I should make a difficult outfit so I would learn all the skills: a corduroy culotte skirt with jacket and vest! I never sewed another thing... >:(
-
Clynn - we have nothing beautiful like you showed....only graffiti....if you lived here and other places around the world you'd know...yes, that is disgusting.
Greece and Cyprus are known for it....beautiful countries destroyed.
Furthermore as I stated, Twin Cities are being destroyed with "Soviet Style" apartment complexes everywhere.
I love beauty....as should everyone...but, some apparently don't.

2:28 and 58 degrees. Can't remember which TV station this morning said it would be hard for it to make it into the 40's. A little bit of sun will do that! 8)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :)
I loved all the throwback posts!! :D It's fun seeing them. Clynn, I remember Fizzzies - we thought they were so much fun, and of course we had to put one directly on our tongue! Oh wow, LOL! ;D
I was lucky to get all my docs pretty early for preparing taxes this year, so I got my state and federal taxes electronically filed this morning. Woot! Bring on the refund! ;D
I'm thinking over my dinner options... so I'm reviewing the food pyramid below, and leaning toward the one on the right side. ;D

Puff, 54 here right now, we had some sun today!
Lori, so happy about Jackie and Shadow, constant prayers that they have a good year...they deserve it!
kb, I have lived in MN and other places around the world, murals and graffiti are not the same thing. I don't care for the Soviet style apartment buildings either, is this what you are talking about? They are ugly, seems like trying to cram as many people in one building as possible. Great something to do with a dead tree!

tig, you sound like my sister Becky. She took Home Ec one year for some reason, made one frumpy dress and never wore it. She never wore dresses. She said her and Mom were in JC Penneys getting the fabric and everything and Mrs. Saxe, the Home Ec teacher was there too. Mom and Mrs. Saxe picked out the material. She was also Mom's Home Ec teacher!

Clynn - yes that is the style of apartments that have gone up in my city almost non-stop...they take homes here in the hundreds for them..and then applaud themselves.
Murals here are ugly.
I'm sure you haven't been here recently to see the changes...nor in other countries.
I'm not denying their are some pretty murals...just not in the majority.

CLYNN A work of art for sure with that Cincinnati mural. That town in Greenland looks like the little houses you find on a kids train set LOL
TIG LOLOL Mom had me make a corduroy straight skirt and a vest . I actually wore it but am sure she helped me. LOL I never sewed once I left home.
LORI Pretty nasty there at Big Bear :o.
PUFF I heard on ABC that it got to 54 today, officially. You were probably warmer further south.
BAZI One on the right I vote for... ;) ;)
KB Funny pencil ;D To be honest the murals Clynn posted in Minneapolis are not my favorites either... :o :o

Sunny day! Maybes close to Puffs temp!
Love murals on buildings! Graffiti , not so much! Notes on bathroom walls like, call sos and so for a good time, not at all! The first murals I saw were in. MExico by Diego Rivera! Kb, where in the world have you seen the ugly murals? Some of the soviet style buildings would benefit with a little art work! Maybe a tree, big nest and some eagles!
Got a ridiculous container of water delivered today! Do not even ask! Has a spigot at the bottom! Looked like a gallon on the website!
Baz, I will try to explain! Friend Mickey lives in a house on Lake Springfield in Central, Illinois! They are building a room across the lakeside of the house! They had a structure there on top of the deck which was damaged in a storm! They and their cat liked the room and the view of water, wildlife, etc so are building! They do not like the cold and snow!
Jackie is my neighbor , across the street! She bought two lots on a small lake in our county because they. Bought a boat! Thought she might build a boat house on this property! Now, she is building a house there on the bigger of the two lots which is also on the lake! Her other lot is across the street and not on the lake! Jackie wants to sell this smaller lot!
Bottom line, I am not moving to this location! Not wild about lakes that are measured in acres And frequented by gators! This location is very overpriced as well!
Lani, glad Mike is home or should be soon!
Tsk, I border on behaving like Tim! No sports for me!
Lisa, glad thing are back to nirmal! They shake a whole lot on the balconies, in NOLA! The things one can see makes for very red
Cheeks!
Eagles. Keep your tootsies dry! Phyl, thanks for all posts!

Puff Thank you for the words. I quite understand about how you feel about Ashley. Grief is a mystery and each person grieves differently from the other.
I keep Samantha, Mitch and Mike on top the china hutch, keeping my mother company. She loved them, too.
I know how you feel about your doc retiring my dentist has sold his practice to a younger partner. Doc will be leaveing two weeks after my appt in April. I'll miss that man. We had such fun with our names---he Phillip and me Phyllis. Then there's the last names. ;D
CLynn I so enjoy all your 'Peace' collection. The pig-tailed barefoot girl on house side is very interesting and creative as is the book shelves on the brick building. The pizza mural looks tasty. ;D Cute 2yr old--looks familiar. ;) Sadly I don't remember 'Fizzies' but there's something flavored and fizzing that came in striped colored straws---
Lisa Publix isn't taking orders on K. cakes instead they've ordered and set them out. We may have missed the boat on cinnamon. :(
Glad to here your mama is recovering nicely. Let the mystery cruise begin. Boobies or 'our girls' jiggle naturally---Just go braless and flip that shirt up high. Don't forget to smile. ;) LOL
Tsk when I was in Jr High I had a tent dress, sleeveless, the yoke came just above the nipple line with a 'A' plet in the front middle. I hated it 'cuz it looked like a maternity dress. ::) I don't like the last murals posted in Minnie either.
CLynn many tks for Big Bear Bald Eagles - 3rd EGG!!! update and all. Sweet brown bear cubs and coloful houses in
Qaqortoq, Greenland
KB glad the Ollie-man found his leash. Super photo from Paul Pluswik in Ely MN tks. Really creative tree stump.
That's a prize winner if ever.
Oh Tig love thos snaps of you! Esp the one in black velvet (?) with dotted Swiss sleeves and dress matching bows. Do you and Camper have plans to see 'Argyle' it opens tomorrow night. The adverts/trailer make it look like lots of 'fun' and excitement. And, the kitty is played by 'Chip the Cat' who belongs to Director Matthew Vaughn's wife and daughter. Hope it goes to DVD/BluRay.
Lani pretty 'Hello February'; I too hope for a successful season the Norths. St Christopher be with Mike. Maggie and I have been seeing Mike around the house going to and fro. ???
Hi Bazi food pyramids LOL
Karen ;) also thanks for explaination on your neighborhood.

Yes, tsk. Whatever is broadcast for Chgo/Ord/Loop doesn't hit the same temp we end up getting. Off by 3-5 degrees, sometimes warmer sometimes cooler. Today was almost a difference of 8 I think. Back down now to 39. Ooops.

Lani -We have gotten a lot of rain of which we are grateful, but there are nearby areas that tend to flood, so not all good, but the great thing is, the rain fills the reservoirs and lakes. A few years ago, we had such a drought that Lake San Antonio, CA was reduced to a mere puddle. We got out of the drought last winter thanks to lots of rain! Now, our lakes are full. They filled Lake San Antonio with 5,000 lbs of trout a week or so ago!!
Glad Aly will receive rain too!! That's great that Mike will be back home tonight!! :) :)
Phyl - Thank you for posting a reminder of this being American Heart month. I think I know how special Maggie is to you & Jim - she is lucky to have such a loving household and plenty of TLC. :-* Love the '57 Ford Fairlane!! Retro Coca-Cola ;D
Puff - I feel for you in your sadness for losing your Cardiologist to his retiring soon. How about if you take a special gift (of whatever you think) along with a nice note to his medical office and drop it off for him? This is just a suggestion based on your post asking what you can do for him. :) Just read you started your own business - congratulations! You are a busy girl!!
Clynn - What a nice story of how your Dad got you a Ford Fairlane for your 18th birthday!! Love your cute, darling picture at age 2 :) Like the tent dresses!! Just read what you said to Lori!! A third egg at Big Bear BE nest!!!! Awesome!!! :-* ;D
LisaG - Happy your Mom is already back to feeling like her old self!! :)
Tsk - Glad to know that B & T are doing well & fine in FL right now! :)
Kb - Beautiful MN sunset!
Tig - Cute, darling photos!!! :) :)
Lori - Thank you for the vid showing the 3 beautiful eggs at the Big Bear BE nest!!
Karen - Sound like a great idea your friend Mickey has in building a room across the lakeside of the house! Maybe after the room is built, you can go visit and enjoy the view of the Lake! :) For now, rain has subsided, but more rain & showers are expected every day for the next 4 days or so!
Beakers have a nice evening - sleep well

Lori, thanks for Big Bear Eagle gifs... God bless mom/dad keep the snow off and keep egglets warm :-*
Baz,I remembered Frizzies after you described it on your tongue. ;D ... Good for you! Taxes done! .. food pyramid! LOL!
Kb, Pencil tree stump, very imaginative. ;D
Clynn, love the bear family.... Greenland pic would make a great puzzle.
Karen, Enjoy reading your posts, thanks for sharing.... yes, Mike's home and in bed. Milo is sleeping next to him.
{{{Phyl, Jim and Miss Maggie}}} Sometimes the cats and Sadie are watching something I can't see. I agree with you, "grief is a mystery and each person grieves differently from the other." I could say more, but enough said.
{{{Puff}}}
Eagles, It's raining! And we may get a lot of it! ;D Hopefully, it stops by morning so we can get our walk in and then rain again! Or snow! ;D... We need to fill our reservoirs too, creeks and rivers for the critters. But, I pray it doesn't flood in your area.
Good night!

Lani, awww, Mike and Milo sleeping peacefully...did you just stand at the door and watch them for a minute? Glad you are getting some much needed rain, I wonder if you and Sadie are on your walk as I post! Love the kitty paw good night! I made an appointment for the kittens first checkup, required before they are 'fixed'. I checked around after our regular vet quoted $529 and $609 for the spay/neuter, found better prices so I am changing vets. This one has excellent ratings and is much closer, like 4 blocks away! I will ask if they can clip Harley's claws without putting him out. Hopefully they have a way to do it.
E4E, I hope you get just enough rain to keep all the lakes and reservoirs full. I read somewhere that Lake Mead is slowly recovering!
Phyl,

BackYardChickens - Our sweet hens are little confused where they’re supposed to lay… we lowered the hood thinking it would solve the issue. Betty here is quite determined.
Now to find where the others have layed their eggs.

HI EVERYONE
37 heading to 41 cloudy.
KAREN Thanks for the clarification. Think you are right about staying put LOL Mickey should enjoy that extra room with a view.
PHYL Red for the month of February. ;D Thanks for the reminder on Groundhog day LOL. Such striking color on the fox 365
CLYNN Happy you found better vet prices for these two kids. Being closer is a plus. ;D Was it Lake Mead that they found all sorts of "junk" at the bottom?? When we got Lulu and found she would not allow us to trim her nails, she was a noodle in the arms of the vet techs!! Now we give her a gabapentin in her food - not an easy task mind you as she smells it and won't eat - she gets enough where hours later she is tired and we can get it done - We do this every 3 weeks. A lot cheaper than the vet and boy those nails go right through jeans. Engine with the eggs - crazy :o
LANI You have the eye for a good puzzle - Greenland - Right ;) Beautiful good night photo. Says a lot.
-
tsk, thank you for sharing your nail clipping experiences! I am definitely going to ask the vet when the little ones have their check-ups next week! I think I could get Harley to eat drug tainted food if it in hidden in the Kitten food! Yes, it was Lake Mead, they found 5 bodies/skeletons and numerous other items, I think it was in 2022.
FYI, on the website Jigsaw Planet you can make a puzzle out of any picture! You just click on it from a picture on your computer. https://www.jigsawplanet.com/
Danny Green Photography · I have just got back from a trip to Yellowstone which is a location I have been going to for many years now. I always look forward to going as it is one of the best places to see and photograph Wolves. Even so they are not easy and you do need a vast amount of luck to be on your side. Around 50% of the Wolves in Yellowstone are Black and although I have seen them many times I have always felt I haven't managed a good photo of one. That changed on this trip as we came across a pack called the Wapiti pack and most of its members are black. It was an amazing encounter with this pack as usually a wolf sighting lasts a few minutes but on this day we spent most of the day with them.

Lani - Hope Mike is home safe and sound. Thanks for the bearstudy update.
baz - News2 wants to know ;D I hope you went with the pepperoni food pyramid.
clynn - The nurse told Mama the same thing that Jennifer said, rushing recovery is probably the worst thing you can do! What a colorful lil town Qaqortoq, Greenland is.
tig - I literally LOL at your comment about sewing. Mama sent me to lesson too. I have never sewed another thing, except a button on.
Lori - Thank you for Big Bear pic, video and gifs.
kb - Very cool and clever tree pencil.
karen - Yes, those balconies in NOLA are something else! ;D
Phyl - Look what arrived for me yesterday by UPS. :D One of my Decorah friends, that lives in Chattanooga sent it to me. She is the one that shops at Publix, that I sometime mention.

tsk, Puff, and all - Morning :)

I booted this machine up and can you imagine my great surprise to see I had already posted for this morning!! :o
"What! Huh?" I thought. Then it 'dawned' on me---last night instead of hitting 'preview' so I could save it for set up this morning, I hit 'post' key. ::) ::) Well I got a
couple of good chuckles out of it.
Which I need as I often have weeping spells when I look at Maggie, my sweet baby. Yesterday was bad as
I couldn't do my chores for wiping my eyes (no my mascara is tear proof so is eyeliner) and blowing my nose...
Last night, I was so tired and eager to get to bed 'early' that I didn't even finish it for this morning. And, we all know Nature 365 isn't updated that early the next day.
Soooooo...
CLynn 'Pixy Stix' thanks . Yes. That's what I was thinking of yesterday. Awesome blk wolf in Yellowstone by Danny Green.
such an'odd' place to lay ones future chicks. Wonder what the logic was going on? Oh, wait...LOL
Tsk Yes. 'Red' for February as it's AHA's Heart Month campaign and Valentine's Day. Which Jim never celebrates, BTW.
On subject of clipping kitty claws : We put on vinyl exam gloves out of sight of the cats-- I just have Jim gently pick the cats up one at a time and
carry them into hall bathroom and set them in the clean basin while holding them and I quickly clip the front paws only. The back are need for defense
Maggie's so up in years her claws aren't that sharp anymore.
Lani Yes. Your 'Good Night' image says so much! It brought tears to me again yesterday.
Lisa good deal on the King Cake. Maybe they still have cinnamon and Jim can get us one. I'll have to call him.
It's Friday and time for a fancy dress .

Happy Ground Hog Morning! Anybody going to watch the Movie, today?
Sunny and temps creeping up!
Read an article on archaeologists finds in North Eastern Germany dating back 45,000 years when the area was like Siberia in climate. The previous thought was neanderthals were the norm but the remains found were homo sapiens! They also found horses, rhinos and reindeer remains! Think this group Spread over nothern Europe. Never know what you might find whike digging in your back yard !

Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
BL ;D
Lisa, what a wonderful friend you have! Your wish was answered. ;D
Tsk and Clynn, the beautiful photo of the lone wolf watching from the tall trees would make a great puzzle. It would be a difficult one.
Clynn We had a nice gentle rain throughout the night. So we left for our morning walk when there was a break in the weather, 15 minutes later it started to sprinkle, then hail, then sleet and we continued on... came home an hour later... drenched by it felt good. ;D ... I gave Sadie a good rubdown with a towel, fed her and made me a nice hot bowl of oatmeal with honey... Glad you found a cheaper vet for the furry family and closer to you too. That's a ridiculous cost, it's about that here too. I remember when it didn't cost that much... why would a chicken want to lay their eggs under a car hood. ??? Nothing cozy about a that place.... oh my, eerie discoveries in Lake Mead :-\
{{{Phyl and Miss Maggie}}} sending big hugs and prayers.... beautiful fox.... early spring, Easter, I feel like the year will be rushing by and it's only February. ;D

Sunny day! Maybes close to Puffs temp!
Love murals on buildings! Graffiti , not so much! Notes on bathroom walls like, call sos and so for a good time, not at all! The first murals I saw were in. MExico by Diego Rivera! Kb, where in the world have you seen the ugly murals? Some of the soviet style buildings would benefit with a little art work! Maybe a tree, big nest and some eagles!
Got a ridiculous container of water delivered today! Do not even ask! Has a spigot at the bottom! Looked like a gallon on the website!
Baz, I will try to explain! Friend Mickey lives in a house on Lake Springfield in Central, Illinois! They are building a room across the lakeside of the house! They had a structure there on top of the deck which was damaged in a storm! They and their cat liked the room and the view of water, wildlife, etc so are building! They do not like the cold and snow!
Jackie is my neighbor , across the street! She bought two lots on a small lake in our county because they. Bought a boat! Thought she might build a boat house on this property! Now, she is building a house there on the bigger of the two lots which is also on the lake! Her other lot is across the street and not on the lake! Jackie wants to sell this smaller lot!
Bottom line, I am not moving to this location! Not wild about lakes that are measured in acres And frequented by gators! This location is very overpriced as well!
Lani, glad Mike is home or should be soon!
Tsk, I border on behaving like Tim! No sports for me!
Lisa, glad thing are back to nirmal! They shake a whole lot on the balconies, in NOLA! The things one can see makes for very red
Cheeks!
Eagles. Keep your tootsies dry! Phyl, thanks for all posts!
Karen, thanks for the additional info. :) I understand now that Mickey is building a room on her existing house facing the water for that great view. But you said they don't like the cold and snow, so that made me wonder if they are also building a home in the South - in Georgia?? At the same lake where Jackie is building?? ;)
-
...
Baz,I remembered Frizzies after you described it on your tongue. ;D ... Good for you! Taxes done! .. food pyramid! LOL!
...
Lani, LOL, remembering the Fizzies on the tongue! Do you also remember Pop Rocks? They came after Fizzies. We would pour some Pop Rocks on our tongues and close our mouths, and they would "explode." LOL! I have your game set to record tomorrow afternoon, before my game. I will be watching your Jayhawks off and on, and will be nervously watching every second of my Heels v. the Dookies. Go Heels! :D

CLYNN That is a cool website but to be honest I cannot sit at a computer any more than I already do LOL
I enjoy manually holding pieces and listening to TV or music or the like. It is very relaxing to me. I have 12 containers of sorted pieces right now for the 1,000 piece I am doing . Very challenging but I love it. It'll be 2 weeks Monday that I started it. Took 2 sessions just to get the border up LOL Coincidentally it is a wolf puzzle ;D Mine are not black ;)
LISA As a child I used to darn socks - Mom taught me...Now socks are just tossed.... :-\ What a wonderful friend you have. Was it a surprise??
(((PHYL))) I'm hoping as Lulu ages her nails will no longer be needles :o She's 2 yrs 3 months now. A ways to go I think. I'd call that a "candy cane" dress. ;)
LANI I scroll down and always laugh when I see a dressed dog come into focus. So funny Seems like we just took down Xmas at church and in 1 1/2 weeks Lent goes up and the Food drive starts on Wednesday 14th :o
BAZI Snoop Dogg - Perfect LOLOL Groundhog: " lyin' all the time" ::) ;D

tsk, you are a true to the jigsaw puzzle puzzler! I think I would like it if I had a good place to work on it! I tried to get Talon and Bella interested in puzzles, it just didn't click. They are electronic kids. ::)
baz, that dog looks like a heathen, with his fag, dreadlocks and wife beater tee shirt on, and then those cheap shades! Oops, maybe it's a girl! I remember the Poprocks, my sis and I tried to blow up our teeth! I still love Sugar Babies, and then there were those necklaces that we wore when we were all sweaty. We ate them without a thought...

Lani - LOL, Snoop Dogg! Yes, my wish was answered. :)
baz - Yes, Phil Lyin' all the time...LOL
tsk - It was a complete surprise!
clynn - If that is not the cutest pic of Sophie, so curious! I loved all those retro candies you posted. The Chiclets gum was my favorite.
-
Happy Ground Hog Morning! Anybody going to watch the Movie, today?
Sunny and temps creeping up!
Read an article on archaeologists finds in North Eastern Germany dating back 45,000 years when the area was like Siberia in climate. The previous thought was neanderthals were the norm but the remains found were homo sapiensamke! They also found horses, rhinos and reindeer remains! Think this group Spread over nothern Europe. Never know what you might find whike digging in your back yard !
karengramke Does that mean when I dig to turn over the veggie garden in the spring that I could find gold???

CLYNN I do remember those candy cigarettes. I think Mom cringed when we spent our nickel on those. I didn't do that often as I like my Nancy and Sluggo comic book instead. Nowadays they have these "graphic" comic books" which are really different. Oh my gosh - that little Sophie is so cute. ;D ;D
LISA LOL Tim just told me " Groundhog Day is in a loop all day" LOL
PUFF You never know - Do you have a metal detector? ;) ;)

BL thanks for the 'guys' Chuck & Phil weather verdict. "Groundpig' and 'Land Beaver' are new terms to me. Today it was 70F and I had to turn the A/C on for a bit. I hate
'mowing season'. :) Y'all have a good Friday night.
Karen Nope. Not gonna watch 'Groundhog Day'. I recall the same article on the burial
OMG! Lani your hound dressed like 'The Snoop Dogg' is a hoot! Thanks for the chuckles. ;) I will concur about the year
rushing by.
Tsk I hope your Lulu has a long life and her claws age faster. I'd say you are right on the dress being a 'candy cane' dress. I saw it and thought of a 'candy stripper' uniformed nurse's aide and Christmas.
CLynn My dad loved the Sugar Babies-it was the caramel. Loved the Chicklets and candy cigs. I recall the same article about the find in Germany in a, I believe, Live Science newsletter. I kept it for a bit. It's rare but cats do stand on their hind paws. Awww little Sophie the world is new and a fascination.
Lisa Jim's store has the cinnamon and he brought one home. Won't open it as yet so as not to dry out before we want to enjoy it. Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday is but 11 days a way.
Puff No. The odds are you won't find hoards of ancient gold coins and jewellery when you dig up your veggie garden. LOL ;) ;)
Bazi "I ain't nothin' but a groundhog---lyin' all the time" Cute and funny at the same time.

The kittens were next to me at the computer, I sent something to print.
The printer started making it's usual noises, and boy, Sophie perked up, on her hind feet, for nearly a minute, long enough for me to take a picture.
So curious!

Busy day here today - new bed arrived this morning - only took 15 minutes to bring it in and set it up and take the old one with them. We had purchased new sheets 2 days ago, but forgot that we had no blankets that would fit (went from Queen to King) So spent the afternoon looking for blankets...
We had a high of 54 yesterday with the sun out, but today no sun, so only a high of 38... gradual warming over the next 10 days - a high of 60 forecast for next Wed and Thur. Most of our 2 ft. of snow is gone already - only the piles from snow removal left.
I have seen cats watch a printer work and then grab the paper and tear it to pieces... ::)

tsk, you are a true to the jigsaw puzzle puzzler! I think I would like it if I had a good place to work on it! I tried to get Talon and Bella interested in puzzles, it just didn't click. They are electronic kids. ::)
baz, that dog looks like a heathen, with his fag, dreadlocks and wife beater tee shirt on, and then those cheap shades! Oops, maybe it's a girl! I remember the Poprocks, my sis and I tried to blow up our teeth! I still love Sugar Babies, and then there were those necklaces that we wore when we were all sweaty. We ate them without a thought...

karen, I couldn't fine the article about the find in Germany. Can you copy and paste it?
Lisa, you got your King Cake!!! That was so nice of your friend!
The kittens were next to me at the computer, I sent something to print. The printer started making it's usual noises, and boy, Sophie perked up, on her hind feet, for nearly a minute, long enough for me to take a picture. So curious!

Clynn, LOLOL! Yes, that heathen dog looks to be a girl. :D Perhaps she is Snoop Dogg in a parallel universe! ;D ;D Sophie is a hoot! What a great picture of her standing straight up on her hind legs for so long, and her investigative pose next to it. Great catch! She's going to be a real character. Sam and Sophie are great additions to your family and household. :) :-* :-* I remember all those candies you pictured! Yep, we ate those candy necklaces without a thought, no matter how old they were, or where all they had been tossed before. LOL! Sugar Babies were one of my first choices at the movie theater, along with Milk Duds, which I don't dare eat now - I want to keep as many teeth as long as I can! ;D Oh, the national news tonight - I can't remember if it was ABC or NBC (I saw both tonight) - did a brief story on that archealogical find in Germany that Karen posted about earlier, and that you are wanting the article for. It's a pretty big deal in that subject matter. Very interesting!
Lisa, I saw your King Cake post earlier today. So nice of your friend! Your post made me mentally add it to my grocery list before I went shopping today... that was my first mistake - I only mentally added it to my list. Yep, that corner shelf of my mind never floated up to the top while I was in the store. Shoot. ::)
I forgot now who asked earlier... maybe it was TSK? regarding which food pyramid I chose dinner from last night. LOL... the one on the right was calling me big time! But I decided to pass, and will wait and maybe choose that option for Super Bowl day instead. ;) :D
TSK, yep, I agree with you - it seems I went straight from Christmas to Groundhog Day, and completely bypassed January! The time, the time.
I walked 41 minutes this afternoon. I re-visited the cypress swamp kayak launch. I had the funniest encounter with a pretty big flock of Canada Geese when I walked down the trail toward those woods, and past the geese by a retention pond. I'll have to see if I can describe it sometime. But I don't think I could do it justice. It probably was something you just had to be there to see and appreciate. Even the 11 Mallard ducks (5 hens and 6 drakes) came swimming over just as fast as their little legs could paddle to see what the what?!? LOL!! LOL!! When I walked back by there from the kayak launch, the Mallards were all calmly gliding back to their earlier location in the pond, as if the geese had told them, "Get along now. Nothing to see here." I'm still chuckling over it! :D
I had a late scrambled egg breakfast this morning, shared with Zippo, and a small non-fat yogurt after grocery shopping. I was hungry when I got home from my walk. Dinner was a big bowl of Organic Girl mixed baby Super Greens, chopped a la Clynn-style :D tossed with sliced raw baby carrots and the last of my homemade EVOO and Balsamic vinegar dressing (loaded with spices and herbs), and topped with fresh broccoli crown sections I roasted, and two, count 'em - two! yummy baked lobster cakes sprinkled with Old Bay, and then drizzled over with a Remoulade... with a glash of pinot grigio. Ahhh... :)
Oh, back now to reading the rest of the posts... LOL, I got sidetracked. :D

Phyl - Like the Bill Murray pic! I feel so sorry for you in how you are worried & concerned for your sweet Maggie - I pray she keeps hangin in there.{{{Phyl}}}

Baz, yes, I remember Pop Rocks, that was my little bro's favorite! I couldn't resist Snoop Dogg 8) .... Love your walk post... we saw a group of geese floating on the pond today, while it was sleeting.
Tsk, I love to do puzzles manually too.... I hate to tell you, Norman is 10 and his nails still feel like needles. Norman likes to reach up for me with his claws. That is what he considers his love pat. :-\
Clynn, my Snoop Dogg is not a heathen, or a wife beater and yes she is a girl and just a dog, being thankful it's Friday! ::)..... Sophie looks adorable with those cute back paws.... Norman likes to watch the printer... I had sugar babies at the movies. Shared my candy cigs and chiclets with my sis/bro.... Never liked necklace candy, but my girls did.
Puff, Are you getting a medal detector? ;D oh, I see Tsk asked the same question.
Phyl, glad Jim was able to bring a cinnamon King's cake home. prayers sent for {{{Miss Maggie}}}
Oldguy, You'll like the King size bed.... thanks for the volcanos update :( . .. Now I know Zoom's story... Love Frances's story, I think she rescued the guy too... Maru, Miri ;D
BL, thanks for weather update. We've had a wet snow today.
Eagles, we've had almost 2 inches of moisture. I think Flagstaff might have gotten 2 feet.... Glad it didn't flood in your area.
SED, Tig, Kb :)

Owlkitty is a movie star. Got a entire career. I'd say I'll watch for any black kitty in a movie from here on out! Thing is - I don't do movies, while maybe once every ten years. :o
And by the way, I don't do digging either. I was teasing about trying to find gold in the yard. I used to overturn the soil, for a long time. They took away my shovel; they also took away my lawn mower; they also took away my ladders. Alas the perils of getting old. There's no gold I'm sure. All I would get if my neighbors saw me out there is a lecture. No, no digging allowed. Now I have to give $$$$ for someone to rototill.

Phyl, 'furballs have zero mass' LOLOL! Beautiful 365! And the morning cat licking the screen! Love it! Those cat videos!Lizzie Owlkitty is beautiful!
Lani, oops, I didn't realize that was the real Snoop Dog! I am used to the nuns and holy men, I assumed the dog was a heathen! I actually like Snoop Dog, and love that he is besties with Martha Stewart! Glad to hear that you got some good rain.
E4E, funny how we all remember the candy cigarettes! They are probably banned now. ;D
BL, Sophie is the very curious kitten, I bet I get a lot of good pictures of her doing funny things! They are just like Talon and Bella. Talon is quiet, studious and Bella is the wild one!
baz, love your description of the gees/duck encounters! If I have scrambled eggs in the morning I have to share with Sam and Sophie! They are food hounds, always starving!
oldguy, thanks for the updates on Hawaii and Iceland...not great news. Still reading/watching all the good links!
Puff, yes, now we get lectures... ;D And we are the ones that used to give them!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
PHYL I do remember candy stripers and nurses who wore uniforms and hats... ::)
OLDGUY Hope you are trying some of those new bamboo sheets :o ;) Thanks for updates on Iceland and new info on Kilauea volcanos :( Great duet for Bellamy and Colt Santi and Zoom - Hope that develops into more touching even without food. Boy, Claire's Lulu will eat anything ;D Frances :-* Who saved who?
BAZI Perfect healthy dinner ;D Gosh, have said it before . I would love the walking opportunities you have.
EAGLES This is nail cutting day and she still has not touched her food!!! Guess I wait til she is starving ::)
LANI My only hope then is that Lulu knows nail cutting won't kill her and we can eventually stop with the med. :-\
You are a very loyal dog walker ;D But as Mom used to say " Rain is good for your hair. It makes it soft" ;) ;)
PHYL " The box exists and doesn't exist at the same time" LOLOL Was not familiar with the famous owl kitty The two Pinterest pieces were good - I like the "weaver"
CLYNN Cat has her ticket - Let's go!

Hi Beakers, I have been putting this off, but here goes...
update on my Grandma's... Grandma Luetta is doing ok, she has covid again but no symptoms. Still hanging in there. My Grandma Helen fell and broke her femur and pelvis. They did surgery Sunday morning even though she has covid. She pulled through ok and sent her back to assisted living and as of yesterday her oxygen level is was very low and she has pneumonia in one lung and she is not eating and very confused. I should know more soon... Just asking for comforting prayers and that's about it. :-\ Thank you for your support and prayers and messages, you guys are the best!!
Back to Eagles and cats!!! Have a Beautiful day everyone!!! Take care ;) Love the caturday stuff oh yea and Valentines is coming up! Destini says meow! :-*

some bounce
(((Lori))) so sorry! Prayers for Helen and you.
Hockey day for me... live, and on TV. Yesterday, Camper's "techie" son updated some components in his computer. Yay. The PC will run more efficiently, cooler, and be better for gaming and photograph editing.
Time to work an online puzzle.

Happy Caturday!
CLynn, great picture of Sophie! As BL said, siamese smikes! Cats are more curious than dogs! As a general rule, I think!
Phyl, I would love to keep the fox in the morning picture! We would both end up in jail!
Laurie, sorry about your Grandmother, Helen! Hope they are able to get her up , at least sitting . Make sure she keeps current on available vaccines! Thanks for the lovely donuts!
Lisa, great surprise present for you! My favorites are the cream cheese filled or the Bavarian cream! will not buy one as I would eat the whole thing! Unlike some here, I do not have the will power!
Stay dry in the flooding areas! When it rains it pours
Willi had advice for dog owners who were unable to cut toe nails without drugs! She said play with and rub the feet I had told this to Mickey who was having trouble with her cat! She followed Willis suggestion and it worked for her! When I complained about Piper, she reminded me of this, so, just passing along a reminder!
Baz, I am going to hire you as a chef and trainer!
Puff, do not know if there is gold in your garden i or the remains of an ancient civilization

Thanks t40! Will look soon!
Meant to mention my Eastern Red Maples are leafing out as is an oak of some sort! Early! Waiting for the red bud to bloom and the dogwood! The camellias are starting to flower but the heat may have confused them!

clynn - That sure does look like Bandit.
tsk - Have you watched The Way Home on Hallmark? I am so addicted to that show.
Lori - Glad to hear that Grandma Luetta is doing ok. Prayers for Grandma Helen.
tig - Nice of Camper's son to give the computer some updated components.
Lani - Aww, sweet kitties
karen - I do like the cream cheese filled one, too.
T40 - Thanks so much for videos!

KAREN Interestingly Lulu will easily let me rub and play with her feet. I think it's the being held down that is what she doesn't like...She's really good after the Gabapentin LOL Maybe she will get used to it and we can try to pick her up mid nap when she isn't so frisky. The thought of anything blooming here is so funny...Hope they all bloom - red buds are pretty.
T40 Giant cat attack LOL. Those were some funny cat quickies in there. ;D There's the famous owl kitty I had never heard of...I remember that George Clooney bit. :) Dog watching TV was really good. '78 a good year ;) " Where's the front door" ;D ;D
LISA I did not pick up that series "The Way Home". :( From the previews I did not think it was something I would like.
BL LOL A no brainer for sure for KB ;D

Puff 'O-kay'
CLynn luv your "Peace' kitties today. Reykjavik, Iceland---OMG! How frightful. My #1 Big Bro, Larry was stationed there in 1970's while
enlisted in USAF. He always got the remote tours. At the time the original 'Star Trek' was immensely popular with enlistees/commissioned alike.
How funny cat holding up the 'train' in UK.
Lisa Bandit looks comfy warm in his red scarf. ;)
Tsk LOL your Caturday kitty w/ scrunchy face. Yes. Make Lulu wait till she's so hungry that she'll eat any thing. OR get some cooked liver and sprinkle or dropper the meds in that. Don't know a cat that wont eat that disgusting meat.
{{Lori}} darling Caturday montage. I'm so sorry about your 'Grannies' . {{{Luetta and Helen}}} :-* :-* 🙏 's 🙏 's
Hi Tig
Lani
Sweet kitties sleeping in heart formation
Karen fox in 365 this AM---you and me both. Willie had a spot on idea for clipping nails. :-*
Jim's Goldfinch pair are back from winter retreat scarfing up the Niger. The bluebirds are back in the nesting boxes---maybe doing some annual 'house hunting'.
T40 got back not long ago from doing errands---will check out your links later. Are our minds 'great' today?LOL

Lani - Read what you said about the candy necklaces, and I did not like them either - I liked the other stuff mentioned! Although we are not flooded, there are surrounding areas that have gotten a flood advisory. We are getting rain right now and it will go all night.
Phyl - You, Jim & Maggie have a nice, peaceful night. :-*
Clynn - you are probably right about the candy cigarettes are probably banned now!
LisaG - Thank you, no flooding here, but there is so much of that all around our area.
Tsk - I hope you were able to trim Lulu's nails today! Hope the weather cooperated with you and you were able to go for a walk. 8)
Lori - Nice to hear that your Grandma Luetta is doing okay, and hope she feels better soon from having covid. So sorry for your Grandma Helen taking such a terrible fall. I pray she is as comfortable as can be and prayers for a complete healing. Prayers for her doctors to monitor her pneumonia and oxygen. Prayers and hugs for you & your Grandmas.
Tig - Nice that David's son is a good helper with his techy skills!
Karen :)
Og - In case you are at 'cards' tonight - hope you win!
BL :)
Hi Kb :)

Phyl, beautiful fox and the gnarly trees are impressive in today's nature vid.... I didn't know about the Owl kitty... cute cat walking .... "The box exists and doesn't exist at the same time" ;D... awww your bluebirds are back.... pretty kitty in good night pic.
Clynn, pretty Caturday pics.... the lava flow in Iceland :( ... awww poor cat on top of train.
Lisa, sweet morning Caturday pic.
Tsk, How did Lulu do getting her nails trimmed?
{{{Hugs Lori and Destini}}} I'm sorry... Sending comforting prayers for your Grandma Helen. Happy to hear Grand Luetta is okay, prayers she heals from covid asap... beautiful Caturday posts.
Tig, YAY Camper has a techie son to help too! ;D
Puff, it might be worth digging up that garden to see if there's signs of ancient civilization like Karen mentioned. LOL!
karen I remember willi's advice.
Thanks T40 giant cat attack! ;D .. oh my, that dog with toy watching tv. so cute!
Eagles, I just checked my weather app after you posted you have rain... And you sure do. And it looks like we're going to get more rain when your clouds move our way.
SED Kb :)

E4E Went to bed with thoughts of the bad day ahead for you and your neighbors. So far this morning it doesn't seem to be as extended over the west coast as predicted. Prayers that you get enough of the precipitation needed but not into flood stages. It's nice to get an early morning greeting from you from the night before. My 5 or 6 waking times would mean that you would have to be bright eyed and eager at 3??? Never mind that plan!
It's also worrisome to follow your days happenings Lori. Looks like Luetta is on a positive track. Prayers for sure for both - watching for good news for Helen.

Lani, love the kitty toe beans! Hope Mike is relaxing, is he home for this week?
E4E, hoping the rain doesn't cause problems for you!
Phyl, I remember Star Trek being one of the shows we had to watch! The Sonny & Cher show was another one on my 'must see' list. Mash, SNL, I love Hogan's Heroes! I'll have to try that disgusting cooked liver on Harley, he is so dang picky. Wonder if I can get someone else to cook it, I remember Mom cooking it. YUK! ;D Glad to hear that your bluebirds are showing up!
Lisa, I have several 'rerun' tv shows that I have been addicted to! I watch them until I finally have seen all of them at least once then look for something else... I have Murder She Wrote all memorized! The latest was Bones. And I love Matlock and Columbo!
T40, thanks for all the good videos!
tsk, so what did you get done yesterday? There must be something! LOLOL!
kb, I would bet that there are many in MN that are disappointed with so little snow so far ...
Lori, prayers for your Grandmas...

Good Morning, early birds! Sunrise due 30 minutes ago but still on the dark side! Rain in south Florida but did not think we were getting any. Have a cook down until the weekend! Piper got us up too early and is now back to sleep!
Old Guy, hope you slept wellon the new bed! Is it adjustable?
Puff, are you up early and outside digging before the neighbors can see you? Good luck!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE
33 heading to 41
BL Sorry - Fox laughing required sign up :(
PHYL Actually the med is the powder from the Gabapentin pill which I break open and put at the bottom of a tiny bit of wet food. After a few hours, if she still won't eat we put a few treats on top and that does the trick. ;) ;)
EAGLES The ground is crying Amen to the rain. ;) By the time I was ready to walk the sun was gone and temp was 36 degrees...sigh.
LANI Picked Lulu up from a deep sleep and she was a noodle. -Got it done and she went back to sleep somewhere. LOL Pink kitty paws. :D
CLYNN " This is a slow peaceful road" I love that. I would add Diagnosis Murder to your list which is also mine. LOL
Quiet day - some laundry, other household tasks and at church in the later PM taking down the "red" altar additions (for two Confirmation masses yesterday) before 5 PM mass started.
-
Checked tge weather and we do have rain in the forecast all day! Lol! No wonder it is still dark!
That quiet road is very nice! I watched Perry Mason the other day. Where do you find Columbo? Miss that crumpled rain coat! Loved the candy cigarets! Chocolate! Not a fan of the other candies! Prefer ice cream, poes, cakes, gooey pastries!
I used to make Rumaki and eat a lot of them! Thinking back it was cholesterol and sodium on a. Toothpick! Clynn, you can perhaps fing cooked chicken livers at a takeout place or try liverwurst!
-
Good Morning Everyone.... Happy Sunday !

Lani enjoyed the Russian Blue kitty
OG if you were at cards and all---hope it sent well
Eagles if you're still having rain hope it's not too much
CLynn 'Columbo' is my all time fave crime show. It was on when I was in high school. Part of NBC's Sunday Mystery Movie.
Tsk cute Lady Bug t his morning, sounds like an easy med time with Lulu
Karen My mom and I used to watch 'Perry Mason' together. Your comment to Puff, I had to chuckle. Hope that's okay
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats;

karen - I have not made my own red beans & rice in years, cause I love Popeye's red beans & rice. They are so good.
tsk - I passed on the season too, but then I watched the first episode on NY day, and I was hooked. A very good show, and cast.
Phyl - Beautiful white kitty in your good night pic. Thanks for the 365.
E4E - Hope you got just enough rain that you needed. We are sunny today, so hopefully that should dry up our yard from the snow and then rain we have had.
Lani - Aww, look at those toe beans. :)
Puff - Morning :D
clynn - That is me with Reba and Golden Girls. ;D Thanks for the SWFL pics.

Baz, what a great game last night for your Tarheels! Jayhawks had a good one too! Thank God!! ;D
Clynn, Mike's been working most of the weekend. So far he plans to work out of his home office this week. He is tired from all this traveling, and taking more cat naps sitting in his chair. I don't know how he can do that. My neck would be sore... Ick I hate liver, never cooked it, so my girls have been deprived of having to eat it. Why don't you get Harley a can of baby food liver and see if he likes that.... cute pics of SWFL pics. Great pics of SWFL mom/dad, very serious glare.
BL, sorry I couldn't open.
Puff, Tsk, Kb, Tig, Oldguy, have a good day :)
Phyl, beautiful Peregrine Falcon, love the cry at the end...
Lisa, red beans/rice yummm!!!
Royal Albatross cam
2/3 TFT chick fostered to the TF nest with LGL
Ranger Colin weighed both chicks this morning & TF chick weighed over 800g. BOK's chick needs a feed & switching with TF chick temporarily will achieve this naturally.
LGL has fed TFT chick twice so far.
Albatross ~ Ranger Colin Swaps The Chicks Into Each Other's Nest! LGL Feeds TFT Immediately 2.3.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKbM5HBesZ0
Feb 3, 2024
Ranger Colin takes TF (Top Flat) and TFT (Top Flat Track) chick weights. He then returns in about an hour and he swaps the chicks into each others nests.The younger chick TFT went to LGL and LGL's chick TF, went to BOK's nest. The reason for this swap is BOK's chick needs to be fed this morning and she seems to be depleted of food so the two chicks have been switched temporarily to achieve this feeding naturally. Right after Colin departed, Mama LGL began to feed TFT chick and gave a good feeding to her foster chick!! Well done LGL! Thank you for watching!

No karen I wait until the sun is bright enough to have someone notice there's a body on the ground. ::)
Seriously - I learned and got smart a couple years back. I do follow at least 90% of the caveats. Take breaks, no ladders, have checks for when I have to $$$ get help, put a phone in my pocket, follow the 2 hour (?) limit doc gave me, be on the patio chair or back inside by noon.
Dang - I guess I never would have struck it rich anyway.

KAREN I find Colombo occasionally on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.. Jessica Fletcher is also on HMM. Perry Mason was a regular on a cable channel we don't get any more. They used to run Columbo as well
PHYL Beautiful cakes :) Perry Mason was a favorite with our family as well. Mom and I would compete to see "who did it". She usually won LOL
BL Who knew foxes laughed and loved belly rubs So cute ;D
LANI You are going to do me in with these religiously garbed dogs - hysterical. And to have them pose - ROTFL
Same here with liver - Mom cooked it for Dad and my brothers and I would gag! I had it once cooked in bacon grease with onions and bacon which made it tolerable - That was it...Mike puts in long hours and long work weeks. Glad he is home this week. :-* Moving those chicks around is something else but good as they get fed naturally. Gotta love those rangers.
MICH-PIP Good to see you and glad to see you have been enjoying these foxes for a while now. Thanks for the link to a good belly laugh.

30 minutes left of 2 hours 30 minutes. I'm on pins and needles.
We paused as Ollie barked while staring which means this:
I must take him down to the bed, cover him up, put the electric bankie on, light on, and tv on low. Of course tuck him in one last time with a big kiss.
I'm not kidding!....this is our routine. When he wants to go to bed he wants it..

Tig, I am lost! What is it about Chili? Country? Are you cooking?
Thr
E pythons in Florida are unlike anything! Came here uninvited and are killing all the natural habitants of the Everglades including Deer! They are moving north so Piper needs to watch out as she meanders around the back yard! There are organized hunting parties who have trouble finding them!
M.P. And BL, thanks for the info on the foxes! Love them and am glad someone is helping them!
Our little morning rain turned into a major storm, this afternoon! There was a tornado touch down not too far from me and one or more els where in South Georgia! Gone now! Sun peaked through in between a few bands of weather!
All have a good night and seds!

Yup' I'd be expecting some rain there for sure. ;)

We know some peeps in Socal that we're concerned about weather wise this eve.
When some hard core outdoor savvy local people that have seen the real shit about rain get concerned we do pay attention.
Keep your powder dry my comrades.

Mich-Pip, BL, I was a few videos of Save a Fox. Love the gal that runs the rescue. Beautiful foxes of many different colors of fur. And the sounds they make, are adorable. My cat Norman was watching along with me.
Tsk, My mother loved liver/onions/lima beans fried together. Terrible, just terrible. I gag just thinking about it. I love onions, but hate liver and lima beans. My MIL tried to get me to eat liver with bacon/onions. It was okay.. then she made lima beans in a creamy sauce. ugh!
Hi Lisa, I hope Bradley, Kelly & Sydney are well. :)
{{{SED Phyl, Miss Maggie and Jim}}} beautiful good night valentine tree.
Tig, prayers for Chili. ???
{{{ Karen and Piper}}} keep safe from snakes and stormy weather.
Eagles, Lindy, Weasel, CA beakers and family, I'm worrying. I pray everyone is dry and safe. 🙏🏼

Lani - We have been getting lots of rain over this weekend. Are you getting lots too? My mom has been glued to watched the ProAm golf in Pebble Beach on TV, but I don't think too much was going on today with all the rain - the news mentioned that golf will continue tomorrow. Glad that Mike is working from his home office. :)
Puff - We had some damage from yesterday and last night's storm and more rain today; but there are others who have way more going on than we do. Thank you for your good thoughts. :-* Lol! You have a good sense of humor!
Clynn - Cute SWFL pic, I had their live cam up today for awhile! ;D
Karen - That is so funny that Piper got you up so early and then went back to sleep! ;D You are having rain too, but glad sun is peeking through a lil bit! I have been sleeping in a little longer with all the rain and how the mornings are still dark.
Tsk - Yaay! You got Lulu's nails trimmed! :)
Phyl - My favorite all-time crime show was 'Columbo' too!!
Hi Kb!
LisaG - Glad for the sun and warmth to help dry up the snow. :)
Tig - Our nice canvas shelter for our vw bus was torn to shreds overnight with rain and winds gusting 50-70mph, and yard decorations got blown around our back yard. Nothing serious here - we are lucky!
BL - Yes we have had LOTS!! Thanks for posting the map. :) Roads are closed with flooding and some roads are closed for dangers of mudslides.
Lori - Still sending good thoughts & prayers for your Grandmas - especially your Grandma Helen. Hope her doctors are making sure she is not in a lot of discomfort and that they help her recover as soon as possible.
OG - If you played cards last night - hope you did well! ;)
Beakers have a good night :)
-
E4E If you get the chance - Please keep in touch. There will be quite a few of us here wanting to know that you're doing OK.
Sweet little bear feeling safe and comfortable. Awwwww ;D
Mom loved her liver/onions. There were 6 of us in family; she was the only one who even wanted to smell it. Somewhere along the way she finally gave up trying to convert us. BUT While teaching, one of the lunchroom ladies got me. I can't explain it or describe it, but she knew what the heck to do with it. I'd stop for my tea in the morning and she'd let me know what was on the menu. She also gave me the ingredients/techniques to make it. It was not chewy or tough and had such a yummy different taste. I tried, I really tried a couple of times. Nada! Then alas she got transferred to another school. I don't even think about it any more until y'all mentioned it here.

Phyl, very interesting article on Amelia Earhart and the Coconut crabs! They are big and they are beautiful! Amelia's disappearance is such a mystery! Wow on how skillfully the sandpipers avoid the hunting falcon in the 365!
E4E, wicked weather you are having! Praying that you and all your family stay safe...
Lani, I can feel you gagging on the liver, onions and lima beans... Poor lima beans, I love lima beans! That noise, I remember that noise coming from Jewel's bear cam and wondering what in the world that noise was! you explained that it was the cubs noise, it did sound like a flooded engine! Columbo! How many shows are we able to actually see the actor's hair start turning gray! He was on tv for a long time, and with the same raincoat!

HI EVERYONE
KB I don't think any person not owning a pet is aware of how much routine is a factor in living with them. Cute
KAREN I've seen some specials about those python hunters in Florida. If they don't get the eggs or a pregnant Mom it is almost hopeless. Glad that tornado wasn't any closer Phew!
LANI Mom always made us at least try one mouthful of a new food and believe me we loved everything she made BUT if we gagged we didn't have to eat it. ;) ;) Bear cub purring - who knew ;) Perfect good night photo. :-*
EAGLES WOW Quite a storm you had. Happy to hear just a clean-up and no major damage.
PHYL The Red Shoes. I've not heard of that story before. That would have been a very gruesome end to Amelia's life if true :o
CLYNN Those Columbo "gotchas" are the best. Remember everyone LOLOL. Had not heard about the Chili wildfires.
WOW Can hardly imagine all those veterans on 1 ship. Sleep standing up?

Puff - Looks like the goose arrived on N2B...yay!
E4E, tsk, tig and all - Morning :)

Good Morning! Lisa, I cannot believe Sydney is 6 months old already! Time sure flies! Any recent pictures?
Piper and I slept in a little today! Cloudy and a high of z60 at one and two this afternoon, then down.
Tsk, my mother had the same idea. Try one bite! She only cooked one dinner sonI usually ate what was on the plate! Believe the advice was to cook calves liver only! Not too fond of it and all the organ meats are high cholesterol. Like baby limas but dod not care for them as a kid!
Thanks for the info on the wildfires in Chile! I have not seen that.
Just read about mudslides in Ca! Not good! Wonder if a massive reforestation program in wildfire areas would help?

LISA Great AM pic - Almost ready for lunch here. I'm starving. ;) A milestone for Sidney 6 mos. Sitting by herself yet?
KAREN Mom only served 1 meal as well. Good for her! ;D

Clynn, thanks for explaining "Chile" I wasn't sure... thanks for Columbo moments. He was one of our past favorites.... what an amazing pic of the ship with our servicemen.
Kb, Big Horn Sheep has a gorgeous view.
Phyl, Watching the Peregrine and Sandpipers, fly pipers fly... oh my what a unimaginable ending for Earhardt or for anyone....
Puff, my mom cooked delicious chop suey, hammock/navy bean soup, stews, but she could not make liver/onion/lima bean palatable for anyone but her. :-X My family was deprived of it's taste and smell. ;D My mother, grandparents never used a cookbook. I received my first cookbook "Better Homes & Garden" as a wedding gift. I still have it.... Thanks for Goose alert. I can hear them now.
Tsk, the Red Shoes is a well-known classic movie. Sometime when you're doing your puzzle, check it out on a cold wintry day.
{{{Eagles}}} wonderful to see your post. I was worried you might have been without power. Thankful your damage is repairable. Is the VW okay after losing the cover? Looks like they shortened the Pro Am because of the weather. Winner announced.... Guess what? The Phoenix Open starts this Thursday. I wonder if it will be rained out the first two days. My weather app has rain starting tomorrow, then turning to snow Thursday and Friday.

Clynn, I love the SWFL pics! :-* :-* Gotta love the little one's tushie and sleeping with the fishies. The Mighty M and his missus (can't remember her name right now) look like twins in that picture! :D Even their collar feathers look the same. Can't help wondering if they're related. I hope they all make it through with a safe and healthy nesting season and a successful fledge for the little guy. :) :-* Those throwback candy cigarettes are still made... I see them in stores every once in a while - especially some of the quick stop type stores that have larger candy selections.

Eagles, I've been watching the weather forecast for you. I pray you, Kris and all are dry and safe. We've had the PGA Pebble Beach Pro Am on since Friday. Today, the skies look dark and rainy.
Baz, what a great game last night for your Tarheels! Jayhawks had a good one too! Thank God!! ;D
Clynn, Mike's been working most of the weekend. So far he plans to work out of his home office this week. He is tired from all this traveling, and taking more cat naps sitting in his chair. I don't know how he can do that. My neck would be sore... Ick I hate liver, never cooked it, so my girls have been deprived of having to eat it. Why don't you get Harley a can of baby food liver and see if he likes that.... cute pics of SWFL pics. Great pics of SWFL mom/dad, very serious glare.
BL, sorry I couldn't open.
Puff, Tsk, Kb, Tig, Oldguy, have a good day :)
Phyl, beautiful Peregrine Falcon, love the cry at the end...
Lisa, red beans/rice yummm!!!
Royal Albatross cam
2/3 TFT chick fostered to the TF nest with LGL
Ranger Colin weighed both chicks this morning & TF chick weighed over 800g. BOK's chick needs a feed & switching with TF chick temporarily will achieve this naturally.
LGL has fed TFT chick twice so far.
Albatross ~ Ranger Colin Swaps The Chicks Into Each Other's Nest! LGL Feeds TFT Immediately 2.3.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKbM5HBesZ0
Feb 3, 2024
Ranger Colin takes TF (Top Flat) and TFT (Top Flat Track) chick weights. He then returns in about an hour and he swaps the chicks into each others nests.The younger chick TFT went to LGL and LGL's chick TF, went to BOK's nest. The reason for this swap is BOK's chick needs to be fed this morning and she seems to be depleted of food so the two chicks have been switched temporarily to achieve this feeding naturally. Right after Colin departed, Mama LGL began to feed TFT chick and gave a good feeding to her foster chick!! Well done LGL! Thank you for watching!
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk
Lani, LOL, love those "religious" dachshunds of yours!! ;D So cute!! :-* That's wonderful news for the way the Royal Albie chicks are so easily temporarily fostered to other nests for needed feedings the natural way. :-* Thanks for the update. Yes! I was so happy with the Tarheels getting the big win over their major rivals!! Go Team!! Big YAY!! :D It got kind of dicey there for a while... lots of nervous excitement and anxiety to go around. They will play each other again in a couple of weeks, that time will be at the foe's court. Fingers crossed! I checked in a few times on your KU Jayhawks, and saw the end of that - big win for them!! I know you and Mike were loving that! :D
Karen, LOL, be your chef... I like the stuff that's not healthy just as much as the stuff that is. ;) I work hard to try to make the healthy meals outnumber the ones that aren't so much. LOL. I didn't follow what you meant about being your trainer though... you mean going for walks? LOL. I did walk 38 minutes Saturday (I think that's right?), and 39 minutes yesterday, even though I'm going through a pretty big flare-up right now and have a lot of inflammation from head to toe, including my toes! ::) Even though I didn't feel like going for a walk, I decided to get out for a short one to see how it would go, and as I usually find, the movement improves the situation, and so I ended up walking longer than I thought I would and felt better when I got back, than when I started. Just gotta keep moving, I say. ;) :D I am feeling much better today, so I think this flare-up is going to be short-lived. Fingers crossed. I like red beans and rice, too! I've been eyeing the beans in my cabinet, and trying to decide what to make... many options. I saw a video of that big twister in south GA, near the FL line yesterday! It was something else! Glad it was not hitting a more populated area - looks like it stayed in a very rural area, so I hope there wasn't significant damage. I am still reading a couple days of posts here, and replying as I go... so I hope everything stayed safe in your area yesterday when that storm line went through!
Saturday, in prep for my team's big rivalry basketball game, I fixed up some eats to get me through. ;) ;D I only had breakfast, so the food I fixed for that 6:30pm game was essentially lunch, game snacks, and dinner, all together! It was a lot!! LOL. I had to make it so I wouldn't order pizza. LOL. I made a big dish of fresh sliced baby carrots and broccoli florets, to dip in a bowl of Sabra's hummus with olive tapenade topping (yum!), and broiled some shrimp on skewers drizzled with a blend of EVOO and herbs and spices, to dip in a bowl of my cocktail sauce - got some fresh horseradish for that - yum! It was zippy! And a small, toasted "everything" flavored bagel. Oh yeah, with a glash. ;D I ate almost the whole thing!!! :o ;D 8)
Back to catching up on all the posts I missed the last couple of days... :)
Clicking the pics will turn them right-side up ;) The 1st pic below is of my game snacks and food, at the start of the game, and the 2nd pic is what it looked like at the end of the game. !! LOL. A good time was had by all. ;D

Clynn, that's just a wonderful photo!! :-* Not related, of course, but I'm reminded that my closest friend, now in the Atlanta area, and her sister, got to sail back to the U.S. from Europe aboard the then very new QEII, in the summer of 1971, only 2 years after her full maiden voyage. They had great stories to tell from that trip. :D

baz, all that food and you just couldn't eat those last 3 little pieces of broccoli? LOLOL! Your snacks looked delicious! I would love to take a voyage on one of those ships...and try not to think about the Titanic...
Lani, your religious dogs are a hoot! I just have to throw a cat in there! Thanks for the Alby update, all is well. a great group of rangers taking very good care of them!

Lisa, you brought us a very fancy breakfast this morning! Yum! Sydney will be 6 months? Where does time go? We need a picture update! Our Sydney will be 30 on 2/28, I hopw Erin is planning a great birthday party for her (like she did for him!).
This is the world’s longest continuous road that a person can walk on 🌍

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :)
LOL, Clynn!! ;D I know!! Can you belee?!?!? I ended up putting the last of that brocc in the dish with the last bit of the hummus, and put it in the fridge for a snack. LOL!!
Karen, yes, both of their teams' longtime coaches retired within a year of each other, a few years ago. I just read your post from after the storms yesterday. So glad to know no damage for you and Piper. Whew! Yes, heartbreaking news I've been following the last couple of days in Chile. Prayers for all there.
Lisa, o gawd... I WANT YOUR BEIGNETS!!!!! ALL of 'em! ;D I think you must be telling one tall tale about Sydney turning 6 months old... it has to be a time warp!! LOL, just kidding of course. ;) :D Happy 6-month celebration wishes for Sydney, and all the family! :-* :-*
E4E, oh, I'm so sorry your nice canvas cover got torn up. Those winds have been incredible! And the precip, of course. Hurricane force in so many places. I bring in everything from outside that can get blown when we expect big winds here. I'm so glad you didn't have any other damage. I hope you all can stay home, and stay safe. Such terrible damage and hard to see what so many people are going through with that giant storm, right on the heels of a big one that came ashore just a few days prior. I hope all your family are safe, too, of course. Have you, or they, lost power?
((Lori)), I'm so sorry both of your grandmothers have been ill. Prayers for both, especially for your Grandma Helen. Sending extra prayers for comfort and healing for her. You and Destini take care. :-*
Hi BL and Pip! Thanks for the links. Wonderful rescue efforts. I love foxes!! A fox had kits in the wooded area next to my building several years in a row, and I loved to watch the adult start its rounds each night at dusk, circling the retention pond, hunting for rodents, and such. Later, I would sometimes see it right out my back bedroom window, inches from me, trotting right up along my back brick wall, nose to the ground. Thank you, Foxy, for helping keep the small rodent population down in my back yard, especially those pesky moles and voles! :-* Such beauties. Sadly, I haven't seen any foxes on this parcel now for the last 2 years. I miss seeing them.
Puff, you're doing it the right way! LOL on waiting for daylight for body discovery. ;D
Later, Beakers. Take care, ((All)).

LANI According to the weight data, Top Flat is doing really well. They are having a rough time starting the golf season this year..
KB Elephants are remarkable creatures.
BAZI Loved your before and after. If I took the time to make my food look that appetizing, I'd eat it all too. :D Have not seen any of those sayings past the first one. See you later... LOLOL
CLYNN wonder if anyone has walked that longest route?? BL I nominate you to do it! ;D ;D
-
TSK, I can't believe you had to go to the church just to take down two red cloths before mass. Seems like a church employee, or anyone coming in to prepare for that next mass, could do it, and not make someone else make a special trip just for that. Anyway, you are a special treasure for your church and its parishioners. Well, you're just a special person, all around. Hugs, TSK! :-* LOL, I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast cereal on GameDay, so I was hungry!! But it was a LOT of food. LOL, did you notice I was using a small tasting wine glass? Ha ha... don't be fooled, it was filled to the brim - more than once. ;) 8) I didn't do anything extra to make that food look appetizing. It just is, naturally! That is, of course, except to the people who find any of it disgusting! ;D 8)
Speaking of some of the "disgusting" talk going around recently... LOL!! Yesterday, I roasted a giant 7-and-a-half-pound chicken! :o (Shh, don't tell Zippo!!) Of course the organ meats - liver and gizzard - were in a packet in the cavity. I was going to cook them as a gift for a couple of neighbor's cats, but instead, I decided to cook them and make giblet gravy, which I hadn't eaten since my mother used to make two separate gravies for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners - one with, and the other without, giblets. Took me down memory lane making that, and it turned out dee-lish! I don't like plain cooked chicken livers, but giblet gravy is tasty to me, and very rich, of course. In fact it turned out sooo tasty, that I pretty much smothered the chicken and roasted onions on my plate with it! So, I indulged in some not-so-healthy add-ons to my otherwise healthy dinner of chicken and veggies yesterday, by pouring on the gravy big-time, and making cornbread, yep, with butter! Oh yum... I indulged! Pre-Grammy's repast. ;) See? LOL, below. ;D
Yep, click the picture to right-side it up. ;)

BAZI I live 6 blocks from church. The choir director started taking down the red which was great but she didn't know where to hang/put it. It is a 2 person job to get down the red hanging over the baptismal font and help was there for that. I didn't want to toss the 70 roses that were in a vase on the altar so started asking people as they were lingering if they wanted any - Got rid of them all. ;D I'm a member of the art and environment committee and had nothing better to do so no big deal on my part. (The leader of the group had a dtr that was being confirmed so was unable.) I liked helping out. ;D Couldn't fool me with the smaller tasting glass ::) ;) ;)
I've never seen a 7.5# chicken!!! Do you invert it over a bottle/can to roast it? That chicken plate looks delicious. ;D

Y'all been talking about your childhood 'liver' meals--- my mom served calves liver as it was a milder taste ( sure it was ::)) For years I' fed it as small pieces to our Toy poodle ' Pierre' under the dinning table. I have a 'patent' on how I secretly got it from my plate to the napkin and then to him. ;D ;) LOL
CLynn really enjoyed your middle image from this AM. Surly someone has walked world’s longest continuous road by now---BL? ;) Tks QE2 lots of our service members aboard to be sure. I know my dad went over on her and returned on her.
Tsk 'The Red Shoes' is a classic fairytale by Hans Christen Andersen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Shoes_(1948_film)#:~:text=The%20film%20was%20adapted%20by,was%20directed%20by%20Stanley%20Donen.

It has an interesting rise in box office and journey to the screen. The ballet, itself , was recently performed in 2023.
A pretty heart this AM. Has Lulu 'forgiven' you for the 'manicure'? ;)
Lisa Congrats to Sydney, and her parents on the 6mo. mark. First birthday not far off now. ;)
Lani tks for the Royal Albie update/snaps w/stats. TF seems to be doing well.
Eagles relieved your damages weren't any worse or w/o electricity.

Kb, very teary here after watching the elephants and their former caretaker's reunion. Elephants are amazing creatures! :-*
Baz, Glad you're feeling better and getting your walk in. It does help to keep moving. Last two years of watching the Albatross, I didn't know about their foster parenting system. It sure works. And the Albies seem to be so accepting of other chicks. No wonder they are such social birds. Other parents will sit down with lone chicks for a visit too.... Jayhawks need that win. Tonight is our state rivalry game KU vs K-State at KSU. It'll be a tough game.... delicious healthy game snacks and food. ;D ... Your chicken dinner looks delicious, YUM!!! ... I'm making Mike roast Spatchcock chicken with potatoes, carrots & gravy tomorrow night.
Clynn, Interesting looking cat paws. ;D ... The world’s longest continuous road looks like the road to travel for BL and Pip! Cool ;D 8)

Phyl, what a cute light! We are going to have a beautiful day today, 57, sunny, low winds, the trifecta! Delicious dinner, but no desert? What's up with that? ;D ;D Reading about Mardi Gras now... Thanks for the link!
Lani, oh that sweet baby and kitty sound asleep... Yes, that cat was surely photoshopped, LOLOL! Cats just aren't as willing as dogs to get dressed up! Hope Mike has been able to relax, how is his back doing? Hope all is well with Shannon and Aly!
Puff, Bella's birthday is coming up, you know I have been buying stuff for months... ::)
T40, always good to have a glimpse of our Beloved Sister Felicity!
Phyl, speaking of liver reminded me of my Aunt Linda. She was a farmer's wife, as both of my Aunts were, and always cooked up a storm. She was checking something in the pressure cooker and when I looked in the pan it was a huge tongue! A cow's tongue. Ewwww! That was over 50 years ago and I can still see it plain as day!
tsk, you are a Saint, for sure! I am betting that longest walk has some pretty sketchy areas to travel, especially the part through Russia!

PHYL Thanks for the backround on the Red Shoes. Amazing how it got past me. Clever chandelier ;) Love a low tide landscape. Eerie in a way. 365
T40 I think Sister Felicity may have been the instigator for this phenomena LOL
LANI You come up with the best good night photos ;D :-*
CLYNN You're up early today :) Debbie's clip at SWFL was so touching. :)

CLynn cute oil barrels this AM; tks for Sue's SWFL - 'When I Grow Up!' is so sweet-pulls at the heart ; farm folk don't
waste much. Neither, my grandparents nor Jim's family as farmers ate the more 'exotic' types of meat ---liver was about it. As a child, I do recall seeing
beef tongue in the meat case in Safeway and Skaggs Alpha Beta when 'we' grocery shopped---very thankful it was only liver at our house. :)
Tsk luv your heart banner this AM; I think you're correct on the "Sister Felicity' may have been the inspiration for the Anthropomorphic phenomena

Clynn, cute painted garden pots.... Mike is moving slow and easy, but never complains. Everything is always "I'm good" ... he's been busy working on training longtime employees promoted into higher positions within the main company. He received good news yesterday for three from the Gila Bend staff and two from his Louisiana plant. They've moved up within the company and will move to different towns, and a young new staff has been trained well to take over.... My grandpa cooked weird meat sometimes, but thank God he never tried cow's tongue.

I meant to post last evening, but we were watching Netflix after dinner, and then I fell asleep. We are okay here following all the rain, but I'm sure you have followed the news and have seen that southern Ca folks are having a terrible time.
I need to leave soon for my orthodontic appt., but I will catch up in here later. I cleared out, and wiped my kitchen cabinets and rearranged - big project that took me 5 hrs! I have 2 big boxes of stuff to donate and a big bag of throw-aways!
Hope all Beakers are safe. BBL :)

LISA She is really sitting up good!! Think crawling comes around 9 mos?? My nephew skipped crawling altogether - I know some kids do. :-\
EBURG Now you did it - or actually I did it by opening that link LOL Sha-Boom!
TIG Have you ever been to that resort? What a shame.. Paczkis, integral to Carnival celebrations :D Enjoy the trip to Red Wing. Was there a few decades ago.
LANI Cute little tongue ;D
BL I knew deep down you wouldn't leave us for this "impossible trek" ;) ;) I don't think they even had to explain in the article the difficulty in doing this and all the obstacles that present much less "how to pack" LOL
EAGLES Love to hear about all the purging. It's good for the soul.
-
BL - yeah, the global rescue group had me at Black Mamba....a big NOPE.
Boy, spring fever here...it's 50 now.
Walked Ollie, and then blew leaves and stuff off the grass, and washed my front composite deck.
So tempted to cut down phlox (dead but left for winter interest only), and pick up some garden leaves. Maybe tomorrow.
Yeah I know it's getting a titch colder the second half of February, but seems to me: The writings on the wall, as they say.
-
tig - I hope you found your Paczkis.
kb - Me, too...don't care for radishes.
Lani - Thank you :-* Aww, cute pics from TRR!
E4E - Good luck at Ortho appt.
tsk - Yes, she does look like she is sitting up pretty good. The video that I saw of her trying to crawl, it was a lil funny. She knew what to do with her legs, just not her arms. She also would cross one leg over the other while getting up on them.

Bouncing
Ok.. we had a healthy ? breakfast Sammy from White Castle and a heathy homemade soup and half egg salad Sammy for lunch. Guess what is for supper?!?? Oink.
Now looking for BEs along the mighty river.
TSK... we stayed at one of their properties once, years ago.
UPDATE... 2 BEs soaring over water and 5 fishing boats. No partridge yet.
Update... Add 1 BE nest!
And now, closer to home... Spotted 2 BE and a nest near the old DNR nest. :D

And a sweet Hello back to you Lani.

Lisa Sydney looks like she's holding herself up quite well. Very cute snap too.
Hi eburg Boy! Do I know about 'ear worms' ! I've gotten a few that last for-ever. Seems like. LOL
KB no love for radishes here either. Jim on the other hand-- ::)
Tig sad about North Shore's Lutsen Lodge . Enjoy those (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRYEA-c3lur6rbNptPQMle-NrczIdtfgg-R1Q&usqp=CAU) Paczkis. These featured in photo are more on the 'dessert' side.
Eagles it's that time of year---early deep cleaning.
Lani 'I'm good.' Jim says that too. Esp when he doesn't want me to know just how he's feeling.

Hi Beakers! I wanted to share a couple of pictures so that you can get an idea of the area we live in. There are mountains in the distance, but we live in the city limits in the valley of Salinas CA - Monterey County. This is the front of our house which is kind of plain-looking right now, as I don't have any flowers in the front right now, and because of the storms, we took down our decorative wind chimes off our front porch. The other picture was taken as I stood on our front porch - which faces So.East. The gray pick-up truck belongs to our neighbors across the street, that I pet-sit for sometimes!
-
BAZI I live 6 blocks from church. The choir director started taking down the red which was great but she didn't know where to hang/put it. It is a 2 person job to get down the red hanging over the baptismal font and help was there for that. I didn't want to toss the 70 roses that were in a vase on the altar so started asking people as they were lingering if they wanted any - Got rid of them all. ;D I'm a member of the art and environment committee and had nothing better to do so no big deal on my part. (The leader of the group had a dtr that was being confirmed so was unable.) I liked helping out. ;D Couldn't fool me with the smaller tasting glass ::) ;) ;)
I've never seen a 7.5# chicken!!! Do you invert it over a bottle/can to roast it? That chicken plate looks delicious. ;D
TSK, I still say you are a special treasure for your church and parishioners. :-* That was one giant chicken! 7.48 pounds, to be exact! I will be eating it for a long time, LOL. It was a fresh, not frozen, chicken, minimally processed, but did have 6% retained water, per its wrapper. ::) I hate paying per pound meat prices for water! At least it was only water, and not broth or salt water. Otherwise, it was a plain old fresh whole chicken - just a really big one! It was called a Purdue Oven Stuffer, Whole Roaster, Chicken With Giblets. I placed it breast side up in a large, turkey-sized roasting pan, tucked the wing tips under, and cooked it uncovered at 350. The wrapper directions said to pour a half cup water in the roasting pan, but I didn't because there was more water than that inside the chicken in the bag, so I just poured that into the pan. It had a popup thermometer, which, based on the weight and expected cook times on the wrapper, popped up earlier than I expected, but the chicken was perfectly done when it popped up. Turned out great! The only thing I did was rub some olive oil all over the outside, very lightly - just enough to make the spices stick - and then rubbed on a mix of herbs and spices I put together, all over the outside and the inside - sea salt, black pepper, Old Bay, Italian Medley (basically parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, like the song, and maybe some dillweed is in it?), oregano, a little garlic powder, some powdered chicken broth (low sodium), and I think that was about it. I put the whole peeled onions in the pan with it, and that was it. The carrots and broccoli were steamed separately. I normally would never cook such a large amount of meat, but it was a steal of a deal I couldn't pass up, and I have a working refrigerator, and freezer, so the uneaten leftovers were separated into serving sizes and frozen. That's my story. :D

TIG You sure see lots of eagles up where you are. :o So sad about that resort.
Am I the only one who likes radishes besides Jim and my Tim???
KAREN The rent isn't high enough at that owl's nest. :P
EAGLES I like your pavers. ;D But you can't see the mountains from your house..What range is that?
KAREN Thanks for the description of your giant chicken. We have Purdue products in our meat section but you know - I always go to the same area to get my legs and thighs and don't browse around. I will have to see if they sell those. I'd make one in a heartbeat esp if you say, the price is good. I always olive oil my turkeys and do my own spices as well. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for the visual aid LOL

Good Morning Beakers
karen - This is a recent pic of her that B&K posted on FB.

tsk - She looks to be sitting up pretty good in the pic, but I did see a video of her where she is really trying to crawl. LOL, nominating BL to walk.
Lani - Thank you...like tsk said, a milestone for Sydney 6 mos. :D
kb - Aww, that is awesome that the ellies never forgot the caretaker.
baz - That meal looks wonderful! I wanted those beignets too!
clynn - I hope Erin is planning a nice party for Sydney, too. Wow, can you imagine walking that far? Love the SWFL pic this morning.
Phyl - That 1yr birthday will be here soon.
Puff - Morning :)
Lisa, look at pretty little Sydney!! :) :-* :-* She's sitting up, no problem! LOL, I bet she is at the point where she can get away fast, if anyone watching her dares turn around for 1 second. LOL! What a sweet pic... yes, 6 months will turn to 12 months in a bat of an eyelash! Hugs, Grandma! :) :-*

BL I nominate you to do it! ;D ;D
Yeah I'll pass on that worlds longest road walk. LOL :) ;D
Boy you all must really want me off this Forum. ;) :P
I doubt one would even make it off of the Dark Continent with there skivvies on let alone with their scalp. :o
I prefer my long distance treks with a whole lot less real world dangers and serious hazards.
Comes to mind just a few .. shot, stabbed, kidnapped, bombed, detained, taken hostage, etc, etc ...

BL, copy that!! And just so you know, if you ever take leave of your senses and say that you and Pip are heading out to walk that, I will quickly and safely snag you both and take you to a safe place till you come to your senses!! ;D No, we don't want you and Pip to leave this Forum! :) :-* :-*

TSK, I like radishes!!! Love to wash them, cut off the ends, and then let them chill in the fridge in salt water. Refreshing! Crunch crunch! :D Or very thinly slice them into salads. That large chicken just happened to be on a weekly special at my grocery store last week, I think for $1.49 a lb., if I recall. I don't remember what it's regular price is at that store. But that particular one I bought was further marked down for quick sale because it was only 1 more day till the "Sell by" date (not the "use by" date). Nothing wrong with that, for sure! :D
It was the only one in the case marked down for quick sale like that, and I grabbed it before anyone else could. LOL. I bought it Saturday, and cooked it Sunday! I love to snag those killer markdown for quick sale deals!! It was 7.48 pounds, and was marked down to $7.78!! That made it a dollar a pound!! LOL! BTW, there was one popup thermometer in one of the breasts, but another one fell out when I removed the packet of giblets. I pushed it into the other breast. Both of them popped up almost exactly at the same time. The directions say to take it out when the thermometer pops up. I did, even though it was earlier than I expected it to be done. I didn't even stick a separate thermometer in it to double check it for doneness. I wiggled the legs, and they were obvously done. It was tender, and the breast was not dry. Don't know if I just got lucky, but it turned out really good. Glad I just used the water that was in the bag with the chicken and didn't add any - it made lots of "au jus" to use for making gravy, or for spooning over just to moisten. Just sharing my experience with it, in case you decide to give one of them a try. :)

Heading out to watch my Tarheels play. So,
Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED. :)
-
Lani - I see the storm is headed your way now, but don't know when it will get to you! We are supposed to expect rain tomorrow, but then beginning Thursday, it should be dry for a few days! I just read what you said about the 'Phoenix Open' starting Thursday. That might be when the rain storm comes rolling into that area. :o Cute/darling Sloth pics ;D
Baz - That is a big chicken - but I bet it was delicious when done and then it will serve you for a few meals! :) By the way - liked your pics of snacks before the game and the dish after the game! ;D No we didn't lose power during the storms - we were lucky.
LisaG - Can't believe that Sydney is 6 months old now! Babies always grow so much in their first year! She is a doll :-* :) She is learning to crawl! ;D
Kb - Loved the vid of the elephants & caretaker!! :-*
Phyl - Thank you so much! Like your 'Liver' story ;D It seems that Jim likes radishes - does he 'dip' them first? I like vegies that I can 'dip'!
Puff - :)
Clynn - Liked the story you told to Phyl about your Aunt cooking a Cow's tongue in the pressure cooker! My husband's Grandfather was in the Cattle business in the Los Banos / Gustine areas of CA, and he used to eat those items too. ???
Eburg - Liked the music vid!
Tig - I like radishes sliced thin in green salads, but I too eat vegetables because they are healthy! :) Glad you guys enjoyed the Bakery- gotta have a treat sometimes!! ;D
BL - I think I will pass on walking that longest path in the world! ;D Yikes :o
Tsk - Yes! I like what you said about 'purging'! That is so true. I mentioned more than a couple of times to my hubby (who helped me here & there) that I was so happy with the changes I made (in the kitchen cabinets)! Let me mention though, this didn't include my china cabinet and glassware cabinets! I agree with Baz, that you are a special treasure for your Church. :-* :) The mountains are the Santa Lucia Mts & Gabilan Mts.
Hi Lori, Og, Karen :)
Has anyone heard how Weasel is doing with all the rain?
Beakers have a good night - be safe - stay warm {{All Beakers}}

tsk, baz, E4E and Tim/Jim I like radishes too, sprinkle a little salt on them, I can eat a bowl full! I remember Grandpa complaining about 'pithy' radishes!
E4E, your house if very pretty! so is your neighbor's truck the one under the cover on the left? And is that the Delorean under the cover on the right side? I know what you mean about cleaning out areas and having a lot to get rid of! Seems like it doesn't take long to fill it back up though! I have a corner cabinet that I can't even get to in my eBay room, it is full of glassware on top that we, of course, never use. And a full service for 12 of my china that I was registered for when Ed and I got married is in the buffet. Have never used it. I did give the wedding gift silverware to Erin when he and Sydney bought their house.
baz, that chicken is big enough to act like a turkey! I remember my aunt teaching me how to cut up a chicken! That used to be how you got your chicken, I don't remember Mom just buying chicken breasts. Maybe they just cost more, she was (and still is) very thrifty.
Lani, Phyl, 'I'm good.' That is what Ed says too!
Lani, Moose sticking his tongue out! Cute!
Lisa, love that picture of Sydney, she is such a pretty baby! Love, love her beautiful eyes, someone said they were blue but they sure look like big brown eyes! Bella has brown eyes! Here is Bella at 6 months...seems like just a short while ago...

Hello Beakers
I grew up on a farm - my family had a garden that was about 75 ft by 150 ft next to a feeder pig lot - everything grew well without adding anything. In the summer, if I wanted a snack, all I had to do was walk to the garden and pick anything I wanted that was ripe and was edible raw. Peas, carrots, turnips, lettuce, ground cherries, tomatoes and radishes. We also helped with my grandparent's garden in town - it was twice the size and included strawberries and asparagus as well as black berries, raspberries, gooseberries and red & black currants. Also had an aunt that had a smaller garden in town - the three gardens were planned and shared together to give all of us frozen/canned food for most of the year. The gardens also contained potatoes, sweet corn, cabbage, cauliflower, beets, green and yellow string beans, rhubarb, squash, pumpkins & melons.
The radishes were best when about 1 inch diameter - full grown was about 1.5 in. and had too much heat.
Also had beef heart and tongue growing up - Mom usually diced the meat in 1/2 in. cubes and made it into white gravy. Never liked liver, but ate enough to keep peace at the table... ;)
Only ate beets as pickled - did not like or eat asparagus or cauliflower. and cabbage & turnips only raw.

The owls occupy a nest the eagles worked on in the pasture but never occupied! I do not think it was ever finished. Owls are not nest builders so the took this over as home and have not been good tenants! They attack the eagles at night! Anyway, some one asked if the nest was viewable on a camera and I do not know! Saw this on FB. It was taken and posted by Wiskernwings!
Baz, wish I had your chicken! They are in Publix but I have never tried or priced one,
I like radishes! Had some in salad tonight! Love the crisp, chrunchy peppery bite! Very fresh tasting!
Eagles, nice pictures of your home and neighborhood! What is the little tree you have planted?
Lisa, darling picture of Sydney! Didn’t you say she has blue eyes? They look black! She may walk before she crawls! So al ert.

Hi Clynn - to answer your question (I can see I didn't do something correctly in replying).
That is our property-we have a single driveway on one side of our house and a double driveway on the other side; the covered vehicle is our '94 Chevy Silverado; 7.4 liter, 454 cu big block! Hubby treats like a prized possession; only 62k miles and it runs like it is brand new. The red 2004 gmc pick up in the driveway is his 'everyday' vehicle. He acquired this after his Dad passed in Jan. 2020 (he paid his sister & brother some $ to keep the vehicle). The white vehicle is my car! In front of my vehicle is his covered Delorean (2 covers).

Tsk, We love radishes. I just cleaned two bunches and placed in a container with lightly salted water for Mike to snack on throughout the week or it sliced for our salad topping.
Eagles, you did early spring cleaning. Good for you. ;D I have a couple of boxes of items for our Payson Humane Society Resale Store.
Tig, WOW! Today was a great eagle sighting day for you! Awesome!
Karen, as cute as the owls are, I wish they were far far away.
Eagles, your home is very pretty and you live in a beautiful area near the mountains and not too far from the coast. Best of both worlds. I'm looking for the DeLorean and the gorgeous VW camper. ;D .. it's been non-stop raining since 3pm and it's suppose to continue all night, next 3 days and snow Saturday. But, it's just a nice soaking rain. ;D
Baz, we love radishes too, and I do the same thing with them for Mike to snack on all week. Thanks for sharing your chicken recipe. The chicken looks like a turkey... darn those Clemson Tigers :-\
We haven't heard from Weasel or Lindygold.
Clynn, awww sweet Miss Bella :-*. ... Mike's parents spent some at Canyon de Chelly.
Oldguy, thanks for your posts and your story.... so sad for the poor coyote, definitely looks young. Glad they could help it. I'll listen to the rest of the links tomorrow.
Good night!

Eagles tks for the snaps, if I recall Salinas CA - Monterey County are very pretty areas esp near the coast. Think I spy the DeLorean under that cover. Hopefully, your area will dry out soon.
Tsk my mother liked radishes--- They look pretty in a garden salad and she'd always add them---
Karen tks. for the owl update; tks for your recipe. Would have to omit the giblets though. I've seen those monstrous chickens at Publix Jim has said they've had one at 100 lbs :o :o I wonder, growth hormones
CLynn that's a cute/sweet snap of Bella; I have my grandmother's a full set of Havilland in the china hutch, have never used them and won't ever part with them either. :)
OG tks. for update on Kilauea -report is funny. And, Kingston Trio. Those cat video are a riot! Enjoyed your memories of your parent's farm; Jim's a farm boy from Missouri--his dad was a state conservationist and organic farmer like my maternal grandfather. My mom was a farm girl and always milked the cows with an audience of barn cats.LOL Grandma Olivine won prizes for her canning/preserves. Jim's mom had a prize winning garden.
I usually serve pickled beets (my moms recipe) with dinner salad when I add them with red onions tomatoes, celery and carrots , I call that a 'garden salad'.
BL you are the adventurer and daredevil . . with the jostling in your back pack --I bet that beer spewed when you opened it. Yikes!
Well, guess that has me caught up from last night...

Tsk, you commented on our paver walkway, so here is a picture to show it at night. Hubby made the walkway a few years ago and put in-set lighting into the walkway. The day picture didn't do it justice. ;)

Beautiful lighting e4e! I see a palm tree! :D

tsk - She looks to be sitting up pretty good in the pic, but I did see a video of her where she is really trying to crawl. LOL, nominating BL to walk.
Lani - Thank you...like tsk said, a milestone for Sydney 6 mos. :D
kb - Aww, that is awesome that the ellies never forgot the caretaker.
baz - That meal looks wonderful! I wanted those beignets too!
clynn - I hope Erin is planning a nice party for Sydney, too. Wow, can you imagine walking that far? Love the SWFL pic this morning.
Phyl - That 1yr birthday will be here soon.
Puff - Morning :)

Phyl, thank you for Amy's Blog, eggs will be coming to Decorah soon! I wish HM and HD had stayed at N1, but at least they are still around and RRP can report to us on them as well as Mom %& DM2. Beautiful low tide in the 365. We have been at Becky and Jennifer's Oceanside place at low tide, loved looking at all the critters you can see. Don't you wonder what will happen to your treasures when you are gone? I have thought about all of Mom's cherished momentos of Dad and her's lives and wonder...
Lani, glad that you are getting a nice soaking rain and not a storm! The big cat in the little box... Harley.

Had to take a quick break to take my shower before Kelsey gets to hers! Sam and Sophie's first vet visit is today, have to be there at 8:30. They have been fed and now are offering their computer assistance... ::)
OG, thanks for the glimpse into your childhood, I have some of the same memories! My folks weren't farmers, but every year (except when we were overseas) we spent Dad's one month leave at Grandma & Grandpas, with farmer aunts and uncles. They did the same things you mention, can, freeze etc to last through the winter. Grandma & Grandpa had chickens they raised for eggs and to eat, a cow they milked and pigs they raised to eat. People who lived during the depression didn't waste anything. Thanks for the videos, loved the funny cat one! OMG, my Dad loved the Kingston Trio! I know every word to the MTA, Dad must have had the record! The man who never returned...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
31 heading to 49 Frost on the ground. Thur and Fri may break records - in the 50's :o
CLYNN Well we may have more radish likers than not. I don't like the "pithy" ones too much. Yes, I remember that a whole chicken was all you used to get and now a days is available and cheaper of course than the parts. That is a really cute pic of Bella at 6 mos. A great age. So much happens between birth and let's say 2 yrs. :-* Gorgeous canyon. Have never heard of this beauty. WOW
Wasn't Salinas the town Linda McPherson was from? ( RIP) Good luck with the vet this AM Great close-up at SWFL
OLDGUY WOW Love the farm story. All those fresh veggies/fruits as a kid. You were blessed. LOLOL on the Kilauea report. Will finish the kitten/cat vid - a good one - later. MTA interesting ;)
EAGLES Thanks for the explanation of the front of your house. LOVE the lighting that Kris did. He sure is a handy guy ;) ;)
BL Holy smokes. Is that pillar a common place for repelling?
LANI Sweet kitty by the fireplace. Cats are so accommodating LOL
PHYL Heading to Panera in a bit to meet some friends - Will sve myself for a pastry with coffee ;D Enjoyed your farm life stories as well. Enviable in many ways. Thanks for 365 and Amy's update. Haven't seen Aryana hummer in a long time. So tiny.
LORI Hysterical kitty bath

tsk - Sounds like we are having similar weather. I see we may be near 60° on Sunday, wow!
Lori - Spa day for Ms Destini, I am sure she will be beautiful when done. Thank you! :-*
clynn - Aww, love that pic of Bella. That was me that said, her eyes were blue. :D They are like a dark grey-ish blue and in some pics they look that way, and some pics they look like brown. Good luck with vet visit for Sam & Sophie. LOL, on offering their computer assistance.
Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post, 365, and thank you :-*
E4E - The lighting looks really pretty around your paved walk.
BL - :o
karen - Thank you :-* Love the pic of the SWFL owls.

I have no info on this frog but he looks to be saying "here's looking at you"
Wow, love the farm stories as it reminds me of my Grandma/Grandpas on mother's side who were big farmers. In a rural area right on the border of MN/IA...of course as kids we visited often and in the summer I spent some time in the fields on the tractor with Grandpa.
All I remember: acres and acres of something?...they had 2 huge silos on their property next to the barn so some kind of grain? Milking cows in the barn, pigs in their place, and chickens in a coop. With a smaller garden next to the huge farmhouse.
Loved it. Grandpa died in his 50's of a heart attack and Grandma then bought a duplex in a nearby town called Frost MN..population today just over 200 but in it's hey-dey, 300.
Such a typical midwestern farmer and Norwegians, Anna and Odin were their names.
Eagles4 - thanks for showing us your lovely home. It helps I think to put a name/face to an abode.
Bought a new vacuum/stick kind and it has a light on it and the hand held part...my other one died. Oh my!. My ability to see esp. in the dark MN winters has me on a bit of an OCD thingy. I'm seeing cob webs on my basement ceilings that I just had to go after!...it's quite satisfying actually.
Heading out to pick up some in the gardens if it doesn't rain and after a bit warmer.
Morning all and Later.
-
BL Holy smokes. Is that pillar a common place for repelling?
No it is not.
In fact it is now illegal to climb it. :(
It was illegal to climb it when we climbed it too, but there was more "looking the other way" back then. :) ;)

Good Morning! No big garden stories here! My fathers maternal family had farms, one a dairy farm in Wisconsin and someone on rhat side grew Burley tobacco. He worked in tge fields as a kid in high school ! My great grandfather had a large garden at one time but by the time I was aware it was a patch of rhubarb, raspberry bushes , strawberries and a cherry tree! My german grandfather on that side was a butcher in Chicago. My Mothers family, in Tn had a few farms. They had pigs and chickens and watermelons. Not sure what else! Growing up we had a strawberry patch until big spiders began nesting there and it became a patch of grass!
Old guy, your families gardens sound wonderful! So inclusive!
Eagles, nice lighted pavers and house. Thanks for sharing!
Housekeeper here, bbl

Hi Lisa okay, thanks. It's hard to see Sydney's gorgeous greyish blue eyes. They just draw you in. :-*
BL. WOW! I didn't realize you climbed the pillar. I missed seeing your post last night.
Oldguy, Kb, Karen, Clynn thanks for sharing your family stories.
Karen, please send your HH here when she's done. ;)
We woke up to sleet, snow, rain. It's wonderful. ;D

BL you are the adventurer and daredevil . .
with the jostling in your back pack --I bet that beer spewed when you opened it. Yikes!
The beer was actually very settled yet very warm by the time we cracked them open that night. ;D
Phyl's I'm actually quite the opposite of a daredevil.
I'm a cool, calm, collect, careful, commonsense, conscientious, calculating safety first kind of climber. 8)
If you don't follow the 7 C's your a goner.
That's how I'm still typing. :)

All I know is I wouldn't have bravery enough to climb that.
Yeah I know about the '7C's---took California EMT in the 1980s we were taught about rock/mountain climbing. It was sponsored by the CHP.
I only took the course to be licensed to help the kids I taught in Pre-School in case of emergency. ;)

Back from meeting friends at Panera and now 20 min from having tea with a friend at a shop in town Tea Lulas. Home from that in time for a 3 PM Zoom meeting. Busiest day of the week ;D ;D

CLynn hope S and S have a good report from the vet today. Tks for SWFL Eagles ·update...LOL Lit'l Bit , he'll grow out of it. ;)

Just read their tornado we had a few days ago was a f2. 450 buildings without power and a number of buildings and homes destroyed and damaged. Whew, I am glad it missed my neighborhood but feel sorry about the folks who were affected!
Housekeeper does a good job! Fast! Light work today. Want her to tackle the china cabinet next time! Oh my! Too much stuff in there and I will have to wash a lot of it!
I would recommend talking to a realtor about folks who do the move in, move out cleaning. That is what this one really does.

BAZI Heading to the grocery on Thursday. It's on my list to look for Thanks for the radish support LOL
EAGLES Thanks for the radish support LOL Now after tomorrow , Southern Cal can have a bit of a dry out - sorely needed.
TSK, if you visit that web page I posted the link to yesterday for that chicken product, you can just scroll down toward the bottom of that url's display, and it will list the stores in your area that sell it.

Tsk, you commented on our paver walkway, so here is a picture to show it at night. Hubby made the walkway a few years ago and put in-set lighting into the walkway. The day picture didn't do it justice. ;)
E4E, I loved the daylight pics of your home and neighborhood view you posted before, and I meant to tell you how much I liked that front walk of yours, and wondered if that was a project y'all did yourselves, because it is really pretty! I also love all your windows across the front of your house, and that must make for a really nice light inside, which always appeals so much to me, too. Great pic of your home at night - dramatic lighting - really pretty!! Thanks for sharing! :)

Tig - Have a nice day whatever you guys are up to!
Clynn - What a wonderful gift for Erin & Sydney when they bought their home; your wedding Silverware!! I'm sure they will always appreciate that special gift! Hope all went well with Sam & Sophie's first vet visit! :) Love SWFL pics ;D
Og - Love the story of the couple who bought a house and acquired lots of cats - they are truly special folks and a real blessing for all those kitties! Wow-what a story of the plastic bucket rescue - amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing your story of how your family had a farm of all kinds of vegetables & fruit - you had everything!!! Such wonderful memories!!
BL - Oh my gosh - you climbed way up there and drank a tepid beer! :o Your life has been quite an adventure! I like your 7 C's!
Lani - I buy radishes for our salads, but I've never soaked them in salt water as has been mentioned by a couple of folks - I'm trying to imagine how they taste! In answer to your question; the vw bus is behind the gate (left side), you can't see it from the street. The Delorean is covered and sits in front of my white mercedes in the main driveway. We are having another big rain day here today! Wow! You are already getting all kinds of weather!!
Phyl - Jim grew up lucky having his Mother grow a prize winning garden; bet he had all kinds of healthy vegies too! Lots of memories of your Mom and Grandma and all the stuff they grew & canned and took care of!! :) Thank you for 365, and links, loved Aryana Hummer!! :-* Yikes-the story of having an outhouse back in the day! :o ::)
Lori - The palm tree you see in in our next door neighbor's back yard! Hope Destini had a nice 'spa' appt today!
Tsk - Thank you for the nice compliment for Kris and he says thank you and smiles! You sure are having a busy day!
LisaG - That will be a nice temp for your area on Sunday @ 60 deg! Your sweet little Sydney is growing so fast!! Her eyes are gorgeous!!
Kb - What fun & special memories you have of visiting your Grandparents and riding on the tractor with your Grandpa!!
Karen - Loved hearing some of your family history!! :) :) Yikes! The strawberry patch! Thank you :)
Baz - You are a great cook!! :)
Beakers have a warm & safe afternoon :)

Baz, we love radishes too, and I do the same thing with them for Mike to snack on all week. Thanks for sharing your chicken recipe. The chicken looks like a turkey... darn those Clemson Tigers :-\
We haven't heard from Weasel or Lindygold.
Lani, I said some things a lot stronger than "darn" at the end of the Clemson game last night. 8) :-X :P
I thought about Lindygold the other day, and I hope she is getting along okay. It was National Golden Retriever Day the other day, and the annual Goldens in Golden celebration - in the snow - happy wet dogs don't care if you like the way they smell or not, LOL!! ;) ;D :-* :-* That's in Golden, Colorado, that is.
Video of the Goldens in Golden event this past Saturday... The Goldens come from all over, and some had never seen snow before - awww... fun, short video - check out the group doggie photo at the very end of the video :D :-* :-* :-* (about a minute-and-a-half long) :

Karen tks. for the owl update; tks for your recipe. Would have to omit the giblets though. I've seen those monstrous chickens at Publix Jim has said they've had one at 100 lbs :o :o I wonder, growth hormones
...
Phyl, LOL, I was the one who posted about buying and cooking that large chicken, and making giblet gravy for it. LOL. No growth hormones, or hormones of any kind, are given to the chickens in the brand I bought! ;) ;D
-
BL Holy smokes. Is that pillar a common place for repelling?
No it is not.
In fact it is now illegal to climb it. :(
It was illegal to climb it when we climbed it too, but there was more "looking the other way" back then. :) ;)
[b]BL[/b], you just answered my question... LOL... I wondered if you got hauled off to the pokey when you got to the bottom. ;) Glad you made the return trip safely. :) All I could think of was how much of those pillars had already broken off, and which part and when the next would fall... Never could've even considered such. I know that rock-top hot beer was good! LOL!
-
Have a good night, everyone!

Waving to All the Beakers!! :)
Where did this day go? Oh yeah... I slept late! ;) ::) :D
I walked exactly 30 minutes today. My inflammatory situation is better, thank goodness, and I hope it completely goes away soon!
Clynn, awww, love seeing the throwback pic of sweet Bella at 6 months of age. Hard to believe she's getting ready to turn 6 years old! She's aging well! ;) ;D :-* I hope the vet appt for Sophie and Sam went well, and bloodless. ;) Just kidding. :-* LOLOLOL! Harley in the poop box!!! ;D ;D
Lisa, what a great picture of your beautiful grandbaby, Sydney. :-* :-* I don't know if it's just the light, but in that pic, she looks like she has some gorgeous auburn hair! How's your mother? Is she getting ready to go to NOLA for Mardi Gras?
Karen, so glad that tornado didn't come by you! I always feel so bad for those who go through such awful hits from nature. You're staying busy! Have you been able to get your glass-shelved cabinet back on track?
Lori, awww... spa day for Destini today - she will be extra gorgeous! :-* Continued prayers for your grandmas, and wondering how your grandma Helen is doing, too. Hugs to all, and you take care. :)
Oldguy, I need to look up ground cherries... I've never heard of them, and wonder if they are something I might know by another name... google search is in my future. LOL. It sounds like you had a really fun childhood growing up with all the farm/plant/animl surroundings. :)
KB, fun riding tractors! :)
Phyl, those pesky ducks at the farm house!! :o ;)
T40, what a great photo! :)
Lani, yay for you getting the precip! Stay safe and warm, and no slips allowed for you or Mike!! Does Sadie chase the falling snow?
TSK, you're the social butterfly today! LOL! ;) :D Fun getting together with friends. You got lots of good eats today - Panera and the tea room! Yum! :)
I can't remember now who brought up the outhouse... I have seen a number of them over the years, and have been in a few, but only made use of one 1 time that I can think of right now. ::) Have done enough hiking and camping of all different kinds over the years that I have built and used any number of latrines - yep, hatchet at the ready those times, LOL - but more often, used the woods the way the bears do. ;D 8)
That's a wrap.
Good Night, Beakers. Stay warm, and SED. Peace.

KB Watched the video. Looks like a great investment. Let me know how it is to empty...
PHYL No I can truthfully say I've never been chased back to the house by ducks ;) ;) " handicapped" plates?
KAREN You are very lucky to find a gal who knows what she is doing.
T40 That photographer sure does deserve to win the Peoples Choice award. What a cute shot.
LISA Like I think Lani said - those eyes really draw you in. Such a cute picture of Sidney doing her push up! ;D
BAZI I went back to that link - "Where to buy" Every time I clicked on "in store" and then clicked on 32 items offered in a particular store it switched over to on line purchasing. Even in the on line purchasing to many stores in my area, that chicken was not offered. Interesting. I will look tomorrow anyway and if not found will ask the butcher.. I took the picture on my phone to show him LOL
That Golden's celebration in Golden, Co - what fun and a great pic at the end. ;D
You are a good advertisement for how movement can actually reduce pain...
The tea shoppe was out of scones!!! BUT the tea and company was a plenty ;D
-
tsk - very easy to empty. the canister to empty is in the hand held part and it's just pushing a button.
For me, I like it cause it's so lightweight. About 8 pounds so that helps my shoulder a lot. Love the light and the suction capacity and the ease to go under beds, couches, and chairs.
I'm a heavy user of it as the dog sheds!..big time. I might have to empty it several times on say one floor of two. It comes with several attachments as well, and like I said previously I use it on the ceiling like I might use a shop vac.

Just read their tornado we had a few days ago was a f2. 450 buildings without power and a number of buildings and homes destroyed and damaged. Whew, I am glad it missed my neighborhood but feel sorry about the folks who were affected!
Karen I don't know exactly where you are located, but here is the track of that EF 2 tornado that was near you on 02/04/24.
So glad it did not affect your property and you're OK !
Those are scary weather buggers.

Baz - what we called ground cherries, is in the tomato family, with a fruit the size of a marble with a loose husk protecting it. It is also related to the Tomitillos & Cape Gooseberries. When it is ripe, the husk dries and falls to the ground. It is known to survive on the ground for upto a month and still be fresh and edible.
other common names for the ground cherry, such as the husk cherry, husk tomato, or strawberry tomato.

Lori, I hope Destini enjoyed spa day! :-*
Kb, very pretty frog. I love the sheds! ;D
Karen, relieved the tornado missed your neighborhood.... sounds like you have a wonderful housekeeper.
T40, Love the sleeping polar bear on his bed of ice. Awesome photo.
Lisa, When you live in a state like Arizona, hearing rain is like music to our ears! Sadie and I enjoyed our morning walk. I took her to the dog park so she could run off leash and enjoy sloshing around. ;D She loves it when I give her a rub down with a warm towel.... oh look at those baby's beautiful eyes and big happy smile! :-*
Eagles, Mike likes radishes crisp and cold. The lightly salted water flavors the radish and keeps it fresh, just as it adds flavor to any food... weather was strange today, snow, sleet, rain, sun, then more snow, sleet, rain. LOL! The roads are clear, streams running and forest smells wonderful... glad to hear VW and DeLorean are okay after your storms. I've seen a few tv footage of the damages, just terrible.
Baz, I said a few choice words myself when KU loses. :-X ... I bet Lindy was at that great Golden event in Colorado! She loves to attend events like that with her two Goldies. I hope she, Fred and pups are well. .... glad your feeling better :-* .... Sadie loves the falling snow, sleet, rain, whatever she just wants to be out in it. And at my age, enjoying it with her is good for the soul. ;D .. and no slips for Mike allowed ... I've had to use an outhouse or two growing up in Hawaii.
Tsk, sounds like a good day, and a zoom meeting too. I wish we lived closer to Panera's.
Oldguy, Thank you for letting us know about ground cherries. I've seen them at the farmer's market and sometimes here at Basha's. I'll buy some next time I see them available.
BL thanks for sharing your adventures with us and providing great weather info for everyone's safety.
Good night!

E4E - Weather girl says, 54° today...a heatwave! Yep, she is growing fast.

Phyl, thew scenery in the 365 is absolutely beautiful, as is the falcon!
Lisa, we are supposed to get to 61 today! The last bits of snow will be done today, we had one small patch left, the last of the big pile by the driveway. Thanks for the closeup of Sweet Sydney! Her eyes are very mysterious and beautiful...
Lani, a soft rain in a forest has to be one of natures best! I can almost smell the pines! I would so love to join you on your morning walk with Sadie, I bet is her favorite time of day! My grandparents had an outhouse until they got the indoor plumbing in 1960. I remember it well, and taking a bath in the big metal tub on the back porch. My great Grandmother never had indoor plumbing, their house was never painted. She passed away in 1975. Born in 1884. It's hard for me to imaging you saying those 'choice words' when KU loses!
kb, cute garden sheds!
T40, my friend Janet, in England, emailed me that polar bear picture too! I bet it has been shared millions of times around the world! It is one of the very best, that is for sure. I look for it to get picture of the year somewhere!
baz, Bella's class had a 'dress like Grandpa or Grandma Day' at school yesterday! Sam and Sophie's vet visit yesterday went fine! Spay and Neuter are scheduled. The gals at the vet went crazy over them!

GOOD MORNING
43 heading to 58? this afternoon. Cloudy and rain moving in later.
OLDGUY We learn something new every day! I've known them as tomatillos ( googled the picture)
KB Love the "she sheds" :D
LANI They need to figure out how to bottle the forest smells after a rain. ;)
LISA Hope Mom is doing well and now a good session for Jeff's Dad is in the works
PHYL Might handsome lunch for Mr Falcon 365
CLYNN Entertained by your AM owl. On my second cuppa. Bella looks just like Grandma ;D Who wouldn't go nuts over S&S Looks like the tank top says 1926
-
tsk - the tomatillos are larger (similar size to a cherry tomato) and more acidic and green when ripe - ground cherries are sweet and yellow
Iceland volcano broke thru this morning and has overtaken the hot water pipe going to the airport area.
Lava destroys hot water pipes, leaving thousands in Keflavik without hot water, heating. 08.02.24 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dbTuTxOdRU

Morning all.
sun is starting to peek out after a night of rain....going up to 53 here today!...definitely a morning when warmer and drier yet for a walk with Ollie.
oldguy - I don't think i've ever seen/heard of ground cherries...interesting.
I did see it's part of the nightshade family though so those with dogs/pets to stay away from.
I know I recently have started to find nightshade plants in parts of my yard. Interlopers. I find and pull immediately.
-
Clynn Got me thinking. . .Same saying for being 20 in the 70's as being 20 in the 80's!!! Just being is the trick. :-\
P
-
Puff, you got it! Getting old pretty much sucks...
tsk, I think what is wrong (I don't agree that it is wrong!) with the 1976 picture is that there are NO CELL PHONES, which you would surely see today with a bunch of teens! Even the little kids! ::) ::)

OK Clynn I give up. ???
What is wrong with this 1976 photo ? ?? :-\
Is it the guy in the background (upper right) looks a little to old and creepy to be with those young girls ? ;)
Only one girl has denim cut offs ?

CLYNN Yes I agree what is missing are cell phones LOLOL

Lisa, sending prayers for your FIL's surgery.
Phyl, good stuff this morning... beautiful scenery in the nature vid. I looked away during Peregrine's mealtime.... Thanks for football history... heartbreaking for the Grindavík community, no going back. :'(
Clynn, Miss Bella looks more and more like her mom, especially with the glasses. Love her hair.... So cute! ;D ... glad all went well for S&S.... I think the girl in the middle of the 1976 pic looks out of place. Where's her right arm? She casts a weird shadow on the car. I'm probably seeing things. ;D
Oldguy, oh my, this lava flow is moving fast :'(
Kb, beautiful morning pic... I hope you and Ollie can get a walk in your day.
Puff ;D
It was a snowy slushy morning. I bet we had 3 inches of moisture so far! ;D
Have a good day Everyone!
-
Good morning . Thanks BL! I maybe 10 minutes from 84 and Inner Perimeter , maybe less. Took 84 when I used to visit friends in Hilton Head! Do not know some of tge locations mentioned like Mud Swamp! I am at roughky I 75 and SR 41.
We eat a lot of things in the night shade family so do not get so anxious to pull it. Never saw a dog attracted to it!
Lisa, how is fil? Is your mother out and about? Is Sydney using her arms to play the drums?
Clynn, glad the kitties got a clean bill of health! Bella looks very elderly with the wire frame glasses! Do you wear them?
Lani, I can appreciate and relate to your pleasure in walking in all that wet weather! Living in El Paso with 364 days of sun shine was a bit too much of a good thing for a Chicago girl! A 30 minute down pour was heavenly! Reason to run outside and cheer!
Just found out the hha is not coming today! Yrsterday her son was diagnosed with covid! Oh my!
-
Maybe the undernourished one can't lean on the 'vette. ::)

It was a snowy slushy morning. I bet we had 3 inches of moisture so far! ;D
Have a good day Everyone!
Lani at this weather station (https://dex.cocorahs.org/stations/AZ-GL-8) just north of the Payson Golf Course from 02/01/24 to 02/08/24 AM they have had 3.26" of rain.
That station is about 4.2 miles WSW of your location.
From 01/01/24 to 02/08/24 AM they have gotten 4.23" of rain + 2.8" of snow. ;D
From the second graph you can see that is a nice amount of precip above your 30 year "normal" amount of rain. :)
-
Well, however you see it, the comments under that 70s picture says it's missing cell phones!
-
Phyl - Thanks for the prayers. FIL made out good this morning. Thanks for the 365, and for the History links.
clynn - Bella looks cute for her 'dress like Grandpa or Grandma Day' at school. Glad to hear the Sophie & Sam's vet visit went well yesterday. I need to take Bandit in on Monday. I love that planter in your last pic.
tsk - Mom sounds great, and says she is getting better every day. Jeff's Dad made out good.
oldguy - Very sad for the people of Keflavik.
kb - Hope you got your walk in with Ollie.
Lani - Thank you. He did good. Thanks for the Royal update. It sure does look like a party on Top Flat is happening. ;D
karen - Mama has not driven yet, but I am sure she will be out and about by the weekend. I know baz asked me about NOLA Mardi Gras, but Mama is going to take it easy and head to Gulf Shores for it this year. She says, it is less crowded there.
eburg - ;D ;D I noticed that too, she is SKINNY!
-
T-40 that same polar bear you posted earlier was in my 'Live Science 'newsletter via this morning's email w/ the article. :(
Lisa good news on your FIL. Tks for update.
CLynn great vet news for S and S ---'snip/snip' ouch.; cute 'Do' for Bella
KB nice giraffe photo--I think they 'like each other' or closely related. Glad you're staying on top of the
nightshade. ;)
Puff Dan has as his email signature, 'Old age isn't for sissies" ;)
Lani many thanks for the Royal Albie update/photo. Enjoyed the short video, too. Agree with the Twitter following, the gang is having a 'coffee gathering' of sorts. LOL
Karen feel for you HHA/son with CoVid...thoughtful for your sake in not coming to work today. You don't need that--no one does.
eburg ditto 'she' is scrawny
'What's wrong w/this 1976 photo?' A lot as everyone has said plus it's not from 1976 and is photoshopped with a IIRC retro fashion ad from a few years ago.

This came in my Live Science news letter this moring. tks for the update OG

Baz - what we called ground cherries, is in the tomato family, with a fruit the size of a marble with a loose husk protecting it. It is also related to the Tomitillos & Cape Gooseberries. When it is ripe, the husk dries and falls to the ground. It is known to survive on the ground for upto a month and still be fresh and edible.
other common names for the ground cherry, such as the husk cherry, husk tomato, or strawberry tomato.

Oldguy, thanks. After I posted to you about that, I went to look them up, and learned about them - same as what you posted here, and I dug in for more info, too. I have never eaten them ,but now I understand what they are. I don't think I have ever seen any, that I know of - unless I sw them in a store or farmer's market, and didn't know what I was looking at - and that happens to me a lot! LOL. I do know what tomatillos are, though - in the family, but different, I seeeee, and I read about the taste of the ground cherry. I think I would like them a lot! I will have to be on the lookout for them and see if they pop up anywhere I shop, if I can remember, that is! That's a big "if." LOL. What time of year are they "in season?" More like in the Spring? Or closer to, or during, summer?

KB Watched the video. Looks like a great investment. Let me know how it is to empty...
PHYL No I can truthfully say I've never been chased back to the house by ducks ;) ;) " handicapped" plates?
KAREN You are very lucky to find a gal who knows what she is doing.
T40 That photographer sure does deserve to win the Peoples Choice award. What a cute shot.
LISA Like I think Lani said - those eyes really draw you in. Such a cute picture of Sidney doing her push up! ;D
BAZI I went back to that link - "Where to buy" Every time I clicked on "in store" and then clicked on 32 items offered in a particular store it switched over to on line purchasing. Even in the on line purchasing to many stores in my area, that chicken was not offered. Interesting. I will look tomorrow anyway and if not found will ask the butcher.. I took the picture on my phone to show him LOL
That Golden's celebration in Golden, Co - what fun and a great pic at the end. ;D
You are a good advertisement for how movement can actually reduce pain...
The tea shoppe was out of scones!!! BUT the tea and company was a plenty ;D
TSK, sorry it didn't come up in your list of stores. FYI, Perdue makes several different whole chicken products. The type I got is called, "PERDUE® Oven Stuffer®® Whole Chicken with Giblets." It's in a green wrapper, but so are some of their other whole chicken products, but that's the particular product type I bought. I found it in Harris Teeter, which is owned by Kroger, so if you have a Kroger there, or one of the stores in their "family" of owned grocery store chains, you might find it there. BTW, when I went to that website and asked it to show me just that product in my town, none came up in the In Store, or Online list. LOL. Go figure. ::) Sorry, and I hope I haven't sent you on a wild chicken chase! ;) You have probably gone on that chase by now though... sorry. What?!? No scones at the tea house?!?!? Off my list!! LOL.

baz, Bella's class had a 'dress like Grandpa or Grandma Day' at school yesterday! Sam and Sophie's vet visit yesterday went fine! Spay and Neuter are scheduled. The gals at the vet went crazy over them!

Clynn, love the "Be Kind" ASL graphic!! :) What a great picture of Bella for Dress Like Grandma/Grandpa Day!! ! LOL! :D So glad the vet appt went well. Of course all the vet staff went nuts over cute little Sophie and Sam - they will get the best of care there, for sure! :D :-* :-*
-
tsk - the tomatillos are larger (similar size to a cherry tomato) and more acidic and green when ripe - ground cherries are sweet and yellow
Iceland volcano broke thru this morning and has overtaken the hot water pipe going to the airport area.
Lava destroys hot water pipes, leaving thousands in Keflavik without hot water, heating. 08.02.24 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dbTuTxOdRU
Oldguy, that's awful news for Keflavik, Iceland, being without hot water and heating! Just awful. Prayers for all affected by the lava. I read that some people say the ground cherry tastes like a cross between a tomato and a pineapple. Is that about how you would describe them, too? I think tomatillos are a totally different taste though from ground cherries. I believe tomatillos are used to make salsa verde, if I recall.

Puff, you got it! Getting old pretty much sucks...
LOL, Clynn, I now tell people that getting older is an adventure. ;D

KAREN Glad your HHA stayed home!!
EBURGH ;D ;D
BL Thanks for being so helpful with the weather maps :)
LISA Nice report on FIL. :-* Sounds like Mom is making a smart decision about Mardi Gras.
BAZI I was at my grocery this AM " Marianos" a Kroger store. ( recently tho Mariano's and Jewel ( Safeway)- another big chain in our area - have merged) . We've seen no change so far. I showed the picture to the butcher and no they do not carry that but showed me two other companies , unfamiliar to me, that have whole chickens in a bag - around 3-4 pounds . No big deal. It was just a curiosity for me. Yes I was surprised about no scones - but that was OK I had a bear claw at Panera a few hours before LOLOL/ It was probably good they were out.
Love the squirrel esp the slippers ;D
-
Good morning . Thanks BL! I maybe 10 minutes from 84 and Inner Perimeter , maybe less. Took 84 when I used to visit friends in Hilton Head! Do not know some of tge locations mentioned like Mud Swamp!
I am roughly at I 75 and SR 41.

kb - Glad the lightweight vac is working for you!
Og - Liked the explanation of the ground cherries. :)
Lani - Good to know that about Radishes. :) Our plan for Saturday is to put up a new canvas awning on the side of our house for the vw bus! Like Albatross!!
LisaG - Hope all went well for Jeff's dad today. Hugs.
Phyl - Like the retro phone! I feel bad for folks that may be losing their Land Line in the near future. They showed a segment on the news about how it looks like Land Line phones will be closing out soon. Some folks really still want a land line - especially if they live in an area where they don't get good cell coverage.
Clynn - How cute Bella is dressed for Grandma & Grandpa day!!! Glad to know all went well for Sam & Sophie at their vet appt yesterday!! :)
Tsk - Nice that your temp in the area has gone up some!
Og - Watched the news segment on Iceland and it is very scary. :o
Kb - Like the giraffes!!
BL - Good questions on the retro picture! ;D
Karen - Probably a good thing that your hha did not show up today!
Hi Eburg :)
Beakers have a good night - sleep well :)

Lol, BL, about 2 blocks!
That's classic small world beaker good stuff right there.

Puff, you got it! Getting old pretty much sucks...
LOL, Clynn, I now tell people that getting older is an adventure. ;D
Baz, I say the same thing "getting old is an adventure", It's always an adventure when I walk into the garage and can't remember what I was getting. We keep our freezer, little herb garden under lights and pantry in the garage. Or I misplace my iphone or airpods.
-
BL, thanks for the info! We had another maybe 3-4 inch snow storm mid-late afternoon. Which was a surprise. It was coming down hard and fast... awesome Smoke n Pig menu!
Lisa, glad your FIL did good... so glad to hear your mama is getting better every day. ;D
Karen, I hope your HH son's is better soon. I hope she doesn't come down with covid.... You and Piper take care.
Phyl, I can see the Grindavík lights in the distance, while the lava smokes and flows. It's just heartbreaking.
Eagles, how is your mom? Has the weather improved.
SED Puff, Tig, Kb,
Good night!

Aryana Hummingbird, Laguna Niguel, California cam thread has been updated with a series of new nest videos
Begining today:
Aryana Hummingbird Lays Her First Egg of the 2024 Nesting Season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drCM_AlbdUg
Jan 12, 2024 #Explore #NeverStopLearning #MoreToExplore
Aryana is an Allen's Hummingbird who lives year-'round in the coastal area of Laguna Niguel, California. She built this nest in a Gartenmeister Fuchsia.
WATCH THIS: After sitting low in the nest for several minutes (only some of which you see here), Aryana lifts herself onto the uppermost edge of the interior nest wall. She stabilizes herself by gripping the nest fluff with her tiny talons. When she starts "laboring," her back end is elevated. She flares, lifts, and wiggles her tail quite a bit while she's pushing it out, and then appears to "collapse" into the nest bowl when she's finished.
She spins the egg with her feet and beak. This helps keeps the egg membranes from sticking to the shell.
Even though Aryana stays on the nest for a while, she is not yet incubating this egg. It is not at risk, temperature wise, as the regional weather is a balmy 60-some degrees Fahrenheit and she covers it with her "brood patch" while she sits on her nest.
Aryana will likely lay her second of two eggs within the next couple of days, and will then begin the incubation process. By delaying incubation, both chicks will hatch very close together, develop at the same rate, and fledge within a similar timeframe.

Phyl, thanks for the heart attack chart, very informative! Aryana is a marvel of nature... Love the wildlife in the 365, peaceful. Thanks for Amy's Blog. I looked that car up, I am four years older than that '56 'Ford Fairlane! Hope Miss Maggie is holding her own...
Lani, you are getting some good rain/snow this winter! I am sure the forest loves it! It is so sad about Grindavík, it just keeps going on and on. Those kitties in the triple bunk bed are so cute! I have been going to do something and forget what it was when I get there for years... ::) ::)
E4E, I hadn't heard about the land line phones going away, but I am sure eventually they will. They really will have to wait until all the seniors like my Mom are gone, she just cannot handle the smart phones. We have Magic Jack for our land line, it is just like a regular land line but only $39 a year.

Good Mor ing! 48 going to 73! Sun was out but gonein now.
Phyl, are you saying you had a heart attack or is the statement one that is part of the chart you posted? The Hummersare are amazing! Need to buy some new feeders this year or new parts for mine! May begin my search early!
Thanks for your posts!
Clynn, I am with your mom! I love my land line and will need a new cell if landlines disappear! The worst thing that ever happened to the world was the break up of Ma Bell! There was a time you could look up numbers or, call information and find anyone who had a phone! Took me a year to find someone. The number on line was the Bank of America! Lol!

Tsk, phone service by the Bell system became very expensive ib Chicago area some time ago! They began adding long distance charges for calls that would normally be considered free, a one of a kind charging system for them! Never spread out of the area and phone folks all over laughed about it! I do not think my land line is expensive and think cell phones are more expensive, especially if you use them a lot! Lawn care workers are here! Hha not here until Tuesday.

A high school classmate emailed this to me. The comment below is her's.
She had concern as her symptoms were more mild and vague. As the chart illustrates.
Sorry. :( If I had ever had an issue with this , I'd been more direct and detailed
Thanks.

The day here is ending with loud thunder , lightening and heavy rain. Dinner will be , Beef tips in mushroom gravy. With noodles in a warm Philly Cheestake sauce. A green salad of romaine, baby spinach and kale. With tomatos and choice of olive oil/vinegar, French or 1000 Island dressing. Wine or a brew. Later 'King Cake' served with coffee. Hot cocoa with a movie, maybe.
Puff Re: bluff branch, etc. I thought so too. You've done more traveling than and Jim combined internationally I 'm sure! Posting photos of your travels sometime? All my childhood travels on are vintage 16mm film of the day. I'm reluctant to open the film canisters---tks for sharing article on the lady who's been to all 173 countries-interesting
BL and Pip of course. Have had many interesting adventures.
CLynn liked your hippy gal today. Did you notice her nails/how they were painted? Thinking
of doing that in the spring--maybe. I would have to use nail tip guides. LOL Enjoyed ariel views of the Grand Canyon and The Great Pyramid
Tsk sparkly heart shaped gem in cage today. Pretty.
Speaking of baked goods Lisa gonna cut into that King Cake tonight. Think I'll gently warm it per slice at serving. Do you do that? Can barely wait for the first Sydney videos. Happy to hear your mama and FIL are doing well.
KB tks for flamingos this AM. I've read that their 'pink' color comes from eating algae that contains carotenoid pigments. Flamingos e at both algae and shrimp-like critters, and both contribute to their lovely pinkness. And shrimp , too, are actually pink from the algae they consume.
Lani enjoyed the husky frolicking in snow/catching snow balls. Maggie's doing very well and eats like an oinker. But slow to add weight on this Hill's KD as it's low in protine. Jim's taken a snap of her and I. Ought to post it some time.

One more Aryanna Hummingbird for the day...
January 29, 2024
Hatch Day! Aryana Hummingbird's First Brood of 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw8Ps3CL7mo
Jan 29, 2024

PHYL Those could be the rains that went through parts of the area here yesterday. Dinner sounds great. Did you ever check with your library about ways to transfer 16 mm to a disc? We have that at our library.. Beautiful poppies.
We hit 56 today which officially tied for the high. First one was way back in the 1860s Back to the 40's for next few days but still above the 34 degree average for days and days now.

Lani - My mom is doing okay - still deals with some issues, but thank you for asking! She & my sis will be coming over tomorrow afternoon! Weather was nice today (and dry) temp was a high of 56. Cute night pic - I don't know how you find these darling pictures (kitties nestled in bunk beds)!
Phyl - Shouldn't your temps be getting a lil warmer in the next day or so? Thank you for Aryana! Just read what your weather was like today; wow - I hope it gets better soon! Yummy dinner! :)
Clynn - About the land line phones; they had a segment on 'The Today Show' a couple of days ago - I think it was Wednesday. Thats when they talked about the telephone land line getting phased out. :( I think it will be bad for folks who live in areas where they don't have a strong signal for their Internet/Cell phone. >:( ::)
LisaG - So glad to hear that Jeff's dad's procedure went well!
Tig - Hope you had a good pool time!
Kb - Yum!! Bet your pot roast was so good!!!
Hi Puff!

Currently 60F cloudy High 62F heavy T-storms, Low 49F
Tsk could very well be your rains we're getting. Wouldn't doubt that. I didn't even think of checking with our library---Main library is downtown.
LOL I think my card's expired. The cost is horrific IMHO. However, that'd be a nice outing for me and get a 'job' accomplished . Tks for the idea.
Eagles warmer temps soon enough. We have all the azeals to clear out on the garage side of the house. Leaning toward those artificial outdoor plants as nothing thrives there and it'd look so barren/unfinished. Probably 'something' taller than shrubbery. OMG! The cost even othe
artificial comparatively.
Lani that c. spaniel puppy on back of bull dog. :-* :) Likely, you did catch a 'peek' of baby hummer. I watched the video several times. Those bobble heads are quick
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; Chile;The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, interesting 365, that wolf didn't look skinny so maybe he wasn't starving enough to deal with the ravens. Love the cat with his butt i the cup, and the cat sitting 9n the coffee maker! Cats are...just cats! And there's Bob! Love last night's poppy pic!
Lani, love those dogs in your goodnight pic!
E4E, yes, land lines are on the way out. Just like cash. And checks. I hardly spend cash any more, I use the card because I earn points that I spend online. It's kind of scary, I remember reading in Revelations that there would be no more money, and it's coming true. The only check I write these days is to Theresa at the salon, so she doesn't have to pay the fee. I don't think they will get rid of land lines until they have a solution for the rural areas like they did for television going to digital.
Lisa, we did have the cable/internet/phone package but the internet kept going off right after we got it so we dropped the phone and got the Magic Jack (which I consider my land line), Then we dropped the cable and got Dish. Erin says we need to drop Dish and stream some of the TV packages out there. It's getting too crazy with all the technology stuff!
Question for you all, I wonder if Amy would be able to set the font size at 12 for the Beak Room. Would anyone object? I am finding it harder and harder to read the tiny print, especially if in a different color than black. Do any of you have this problem? I have been changing my posts to 12 ever since tsk mentioned it a while back. And now I have this eye problem... I don't know if Amy would even be able to do it, but I could ask.

Phyl - Hope the rain has moved out. Dinner sounded delish. Pretty good night pic. Thanks for 365. Good Caturday pics.
E4E - Enjoy your day with mom & sis.
Lani - Aww, the sleeping pups!
clynn - Yes, technology is crazy, and so is the price of some of these cable packages!
I will try to remember to make my font bigger for you. :-* It would not hurt to ask Amy to see if she could make the font larger in here.
tsk - Awww, your morning pic, so sweet!

This is a test.
Trying how to do 12 pt. Type on my phone

"Amazing “Koi” dance at the #SpringFestivalGala, where dancers glide like leaping fish in the sky. A beautiful expression of good wishes for great success and good luck."
Changing font size doesn't work for me Sorry
Above dance is so beautiful...nicer than our superbowl half time I'm quite sure!...
Morning all.

0Good morning. Happy caturday and microwave arrival day! 62 going to 70 something! So much joy at once! Lol.
Clynn, I too have trouble reading smaller print and some of tge colors other than black are a strain! This is set at 24 and doesn’t look that big to me!
Love the kitty and dog pictures and the black wolf is a beauty! My ex’s daughter had a wolf mix dog in New Mexico. He was almost all black and he was a Beauty. We went trout fishing in a pretty mountain stream outside of Albuquerque and hikers passing by were very alarmed and exclaimed, thats a wolf! No body stayed around! I do not remember what she said he was mixed with or where she got him.
Phupyl, do not remove the azaleas! After the bloom time, cut them way back and fertilize with a high quality fertilizer fir acid loving plants! Water in and they should be fine. Cheaper than fake plants and they should be quite pretty!
Eagles, have a lot of creape myrtles around the house! I did not know they grew in your area. Do you know the color of your flower?
Have to move things off the counter to be ready for the install?

clynndunn easy trick to make text larger on your screen if you use any Windows version:
On your keyboard "ctrl +" zooms the whole page larger for easier viewing.
Use the plus + and minus - over by your 'numbers pad'.

Karen, follow the same directions as I posted to Kb. Highlight your post, go up to the Font Size box, click on down arrow and choose print size. and click. Then you can post.
Tig, You're a sport to try from your iphone :-* I've yet to try sending emails on my phone. :P
Kb, beautiful ballet... changing font size is easy, after you write your post, go above and click on Font Size arrow and it gives you sizes available. Highlight your post Click on size.
Tsk, awww sweet Caturday pic.
Clynn, no problem with asking Amy about the size of fonts. I have problems reading posts sometimes... I'll increase the size of my fonts from now on, that's an easy fix. :-* ... awww, what a sweet cat, loves her mom so much she wants to make sure she eats properly when away from home. :-*
Phyl, poor wolf he just wants a piece of the pie..... a very dignified Bob :-* ... OH my, I don't know what to say about the cat sitting on the coffee cup. LOL! Library cards are free here, they only charge you $1 for replacement if you lose it.

Karen, I'm testing by changing your Font size in the quotes. You may have the Font Size on 24pt on your laptop, but you have to change the Font Size in the Message Box to enlarge the printing. I changed your Font Size to 12pt.

KB WOW That koi dance was amazing. The synchronicity was a miracle. So much skill and practice. They'd win for sure on America's Got Talent!!!
KAREN I forget - over the stove mount on the microwave? Been a long time without. Don't know what I/Tim would do without a microwave for more than a day :o :o :o Like Lani said Above the box where you are typing there are 3 categories - Font Face Font Size and Change color..... Highlight your text - go to font size drop box and hit 12. that should work.
CLYNN I missed your AM post. Just as easy to change font size as I described to Karen
Sun just came out - YAY 40 degrees.

tsk, yes, that is what I do with my posts. I think I learned that from you back when you started using 12! I think I have been doing it for a few months, and I thought it was you that asked about it! ;D Thanks all for your thoughts, I will take care of it, I had forgotten about the control/scroll thing... Love that Mama kitty holding her baby close!
Lani, I keep seeing that Bayer aspiring commercial about the Super Bowl, it says people whose teams are playing are twice as likely to have a heart attack!!! See if you can keep Mike calmed down tomorrow! ;D

Karen - I sure do hope that was a joke telling me I have a flip attitude...that would be on you my dear. No I can't make my font size work at least not yet. So, what do you expect me to do to try and help you?
If it wasn't a joke, please stop being not nice, thank you.

Lani... no I-Phone here... Just a cheaper android. On my cell, I selected Font Size before "typing" anything else, then I selected the tiny space between the brackets and began my post.
Now, I'm on my Chromebook, where I use the touch pad (not a mouse). I just tried Ctrl A and it highlighted just the text in my post. Yay. I can also hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys to highlight specific text.

P.S. Clynn, I am definitely A-OK with you asking Amy if she can make the default font size larger. And I thank you for making the suggestion! It's nice to have the larger font size to read, without enlarging the entire page, too. I've been trying to remember to use a larger font with my posts lately, but sometimes I forget. It helps my older eyes, too!! :-* :-* :-* And hugs to you for being willing to ask Amy about the possibility of doing that! :) :-* :-*

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS! BE HAPPY! :D
I didn't walk yesterday. But I had a nice 55 minute walk today! Very unusually warm here today, and so nice for being out in it. I walked to the kayak launch at the wooded cypress swamp, after passing the two big groups of Canada Geese at the pond near the footbridge to the kayak launch. That one group of Canada Geese, who hang at the far end of that pond from the group of Canada Geese "regulars" there, stayed put this time - no antics. LOL. I took the big loop back from there via "Bluebird Lane." I didn't get a Bluebird escort today, but I walked past 2 pretty Bluebirds there who were "talking" to each other on different, but facing, rooftops. Chirp! Chirp! :) :-* :-* Then I did the loop-dee-loop from there past the little mailbox building for my area, and I had a piece of mail from the sheriff's office. Hmmm... ??? what I do?? ;D I got home and put the pretty frilly red camelia flower and bud I picked nearby in the little bud vase in my open kitchen window - fresh air, yay! Then I opened that piece of mail from the sheriff's office, and it's a jury summons! Ugh! For March 11. ::) :P Oh law. Law law, someone call the law... ::) :P
Lani, my Heels play in about 5 minutes or so. Go Heels!! :D And your and Mike's Jayhawks play immediately after. Hope none of us has to go to that room and close the door after!! ;) :D
Karen, yay for your new microwave - all installed and ready to roll! Yes, wonderful warm day here, too - made it to either 73 or 74 here, probably warmer for you, I expect! You and Piper enjoy!! :)
Waving to All the Beakers!

If I may...
Lani, I M H O= In My Humble Opinion. At least that's how Dan educated me on that.
But, as per the article below. The Internet is now fighting over 'In My Humble Opinion' Vs. 'In My Honest Opinion'
When I use IMHO I mean 'In My Humble Opinion" I think it's 'kinder' and less offensive.

CLynn luv your Caturdays. Ditto this tech 'stuff' can be confusing---good we have BL/ OG here.
Re: your comment to Eagles. Spot on w/ Revelations. It's all scarily true.
When I was working for Farmer's Ins Group as an agent, I had a client who's policy number came back with '666 a part of that sequenced number. I did my own mail so I had to let it go to the customer like that as it was a new policy , etc. The fella came in 3 days later asking for a new policy number. I called policy service with him seated across from me and the phone on speaker----underwriter said no problem explaining that's just the sequence --- and my client would get a new policy w/ new number in 24hrs w/o any '6s'. Happy everyone.
Tsk Sweet Momcat and kitten :-*; I'm sure now that I'm officially a Senior a 'free' library card would be issued if I reapply.
Lisa Cute Caturday. Some days I'd like to be a kitty swimming in a cup of black coffee. ;D
Karen IMHO Have you asked you eyecare professional for computer length reading glasses ? My eye doc advised me of them saying they extend the length of vision afforded by one's regular glasses. I've had them for 3 yrs--- Post Script: I 'believe' Word Press may be used by the forum. Congrats on the microwave. Be lost w/o mine
Lani sweet kitty sunning itself

TSK, the summons says that people over a certain age may request exemption. I just barely don't qualify. ::) Nooo, LOL, I don't want to go! I hope when I call the automated line the night before, I will find out my juror number isn't needed, and then I wouldn't be required to appear. Fingers crossed!

Well Bl, your eye story is scary! Did you recover or get ;Ddo you still have loss of vision? You were a dare devil! Are? Beakers are humorous!
Baz, i got off a lot but landed on. A grand jury! Sat for a month hearing about a lot of thefts at Walmart! Crippled women in big full skirts may just be concealing something! Lol, true!

Clynn - I always pay cash at the salon - I know she appreciates it. :) I use my credit card to pay for groceries & stuff because I get cash back too!! Font size 12 would be great if Amy would do it! Love the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show!! I did not know that about Revelations :o I agree about the Land lines and that they would have to be careful when trying to phase it out, because some folks really need a land line phone depending on where they live.
Tsk - Like your kitty pic this morning!
LisaG - We had a great visit with my mom & sis today! :)
Tig - The 'type' was larger and nice today!
Karen - No I do not know the color of the crepe myrtle tree yet, because the city planted it last Spring and it has not bloomed yet. I will keep you posted though! :) Yaaay! Your micro is installed! :)
Lani - Big game day tomorrow!! ;) ;D
Baz - Good for you in taking a nice long walk!
Hi Lori, BL, Kb, Oldguy :)
Beakers have a good night.

Lani... no I-Phone here... Just a cheaper android. On my cell, I selected Font Size before "typing" anything else, then I selected the tiny space between the brackets and began my post.
Now, I'm on my Chromebook, where I use the touch pad (not a mouse). I just tried Ctrl A and it highlighted just the text in my post. Yay. I can also hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys to highlight specific text.

BazI got to do jury duty again last year January. My third time, although one other time too they didn't want me. I felt rejected, like I wasn't good enough? And, 2023, I was 79 and they still let me sit on case.
IMO it's an interesting, informative, and neat experience.

Good Morning Everyone.... Happy Sunday !

BL OMGosh. What an experience with your eye. Eyes are one of our most delicate organs and works ---it's more closely with our brain to give us the wonderful vision we have---even when it isn't perfect, it's still wonderful.
Lani luv seeing The King of Beasts' last night . Those cats stand 5' tall and can look a petite gal like me eyeball to eyeball with paws bigger than my head. When I read Bazi's post I thought the same---Snagglepuss! ---that all to familiar exclamation.
CLynn I was a little girl when The Fab Four first appeared on Fred Sullivan's. How well I remember that night. After that night the music that came from my brother's room wasn't the same. Dan use to tease me that they were really old men up on stage singing. I thought 'Yeah. Right. I only 'look/act stupid!!" ;) ;D
Puff the only time I served on jury duty was when I was in my early twenties while living in Missouri. It was a murder trial.
This was a , not in a good way, fantastic experience. I'll never forget the process nor the facts of the case. I never prayed for guidance so much in my
life. Because a person's life ...people's lives were at stake. A position I don't want to ever be in, again. No not ever a murder trial.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; Chile;The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Where Valentine’s Day is unloved—and forbidden

Additions to the story just came to me. . .
Very first experience taught me something important - the judge gave the directives that from the get go you must go on the assumption that the accused is not guilty. It becomes the opposing attorney's job to "prove they are guilty" beyond a reasonable doubt. Think about both the next time you follow a news story of a case.
Last years case was a theft charge. Man accused of stealing from a TJ Max. From that we got to see the servalance setup a small store like that has working. The person in charge brought in film proof, slow motion, outside and inside the store. The film and testimony gave him a guilty verdict.
After the formal procedings the judge met with our panel in the jury room and we learned two other things. First, the accused had a record of other robbery convictions. That was not presented during our trial so that there was no predisposed assumption of guilt. It would affect the sentencing. Second, the judge met with us for a personal note of thanks for doing an admirable job for her on her very first case. Her long story of the journey brought emotions out from her and us.
OOOOO Third newbie. . .I got to see my tax dollars at work at the new and improved county court house - my tax dollars at work. AND, I got to watch the area falcons, hawks! Sitting in the car outside waiting for facility to open something caught my eye. Two somethings caught my eye. Then the next I saw perched on a ledge on the outside of the building. Talking to the county police during a break in the trial action, they gave me the advise to come back on the weekend when there's not that much traffic/people and visit the fields/bogs surrounding the complex for a real show. :-\ Never made it back. Maybe I'll try to get there yet.

Phyl, thanks for the The Diction-Aerie from Amy's Blog! That eagle in the 365 wasn't afraid of the ravens! But something in the wind... Sounds like Dan liked to tease you! I never had a brother, but I see how Erin loves to tease Kelsey and Talon and Bella! Will read the Valentine article in a bit!
baz, Puff, I have received a jury notice three times and before I even got to call I received notice that I wasn't needed! My boss at work got called and had to serve 3 times that I remember. That is unless he made up that excuse! He had 4 young children... ;D
Lani, isn't it funny how certain songs or other things can take you back to a vivid memory? You can remember exactly where you were at the time... We were living in base housing at Luke AFB near Phoenix, I was in 5th grade. Mom & Dad watched Ed Sullivan every week, along with Lawrence Welk! What would the kids of today do if they only had the 3 tv stations to watch? ::) Today is the big game! Keep calm... I lived in Missouri for a few years, so I am rooting for the Chiefs for Mike! So he can stay calm...
BL, you are an enigma! It is a wonder that you are still stalking this earth! You have been hit by lightening 4+ times? Heavens to Murgatroyd!
baz, good throwback music! Love the moon in the trees! I still say "Heavens to Murgatroyd" often, Kelsey thinks it's funny...and it is! We picked up a lot from the old cartoons! “What’s up, doc?”
E4E, are you and Kris big 49ers fans?
karen, I remember seeing some show where it showed people walking out of a store with a tv between their legs! I would think that would take some practice!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE
BL You've had some very dangerous jobs in your lifetime. :o 8) It's a miracle you are still alive!!!
BAZI Fingers crossed. In all my years of being called I never got called to sit on a jury! Theme from Shaft was a great song as was Green Onions. :)
KAREN Had a friend who sat a month on a grand jury as well. Had to drive to the worst part of town - 26th and California! Thought she might get recused as her husband was the chief of police in my town. ??? NOT
EAGLES Good to hear you had a nice Saturday with Mom and Sis :)
LANI You have a good memory of that Ed Sullivan night. :)
PHYL One time on a trial and it was murder - I would not have wanted to be in your place either. But interesting to see how it all works from the "inside" and not from TV LOL 365 :o :o Interesting where Valentines Dad is banned.
PUFF Interesting jury experience - Which court house?
CLYNN Love the hanging hearts. Seeing a family of lynx - what a wonderful experience .

IDK... I guess KC... no strong feelings
I loved jury duty, as I was the foreperson and it got me away from werk for a month (I disliked my boss at the time) at Christmastime (they gave us long lunch hours and we tried all the prettily lit downtown restaurants). It was an employee against the company case... we found for the employee. I remember disliking the lawyer for the company... he was smug and wore expensive cuff links. LOL
Back to the rest of my Sunday a.m. chores and get church pulled up online in time for the teaching (I skip the new age Christian music... I used to sing in choir, I'm a purist, LOL).

OH NO LANi a spooky sister this AM ;D ;D ;D
BAZI I always wondered why frogs were so happy LOL

TSK... if I recall, I volunteered
-
Lani - That would have been nice if Aly were there!! It will be just Kris & I here by ourselves watching the game (that will be a first, Lol!!)
Puff - Interesting case you had for jury duty! How exciting you got to see the Falcons and Hawks from your car! I was chosen a few years ago as an 'Alternate'. It was very interesting and I had to be there for all of the 5 days of testimony, etc., but when it came time to make the decision, myself & the other Alternate got excused. Only the 12 jurors got to go behind closed doors. I had made a 'friend' during this time and she emailed me later to let me know the verdict. I really appreciated that she let me know how the case ended.
Clynn - Yes, we are 49er fans because, after all, we have lived here in CA all of our lives. ;D ;D I just hope for a good fair game and if the Chief's win - then they obviously played the better game and deserve the win!! Either way, it should be exciting!!
Tsk - Yes, we had a good visit, and talked about all kinds of stuff! ;D
Kb - Wow, that is an amazing white snowy owl!!
LisaG - No we are not having a superbowl party - going to be just hubby & I! :)
BL - I like what you said about what doesn't kill you - makes you stronger. 'thumbs up'!!
Tig - Glad you are having a sunny day! We have a beautiful day here too; 61 deg.!
Phyl - Thanks for links! I bet you have something delicious going on over at your house!
Everyone have a great afternoon, no matter who wins!! 8)

Lisa, I was hoping the Ravens, the=team with the best record woukd win it all! Then the coach and his brother, College champ winner would both have a family victory celebration! Not to be and Detroit who has had a long losing spell was my second pick! I will not even whisper which team I am now rooting for! Piper says, what Ever!
Cloudy but warm day here! Think 80 yesterday and 75 today! Temps on the way down and then up and then down! Lol,
Cool enough for a M G sweat shirt on Tuesday and a red sweater for my Valentines day Appointment with the dentist!
Today might be the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dragon! Another celebration! Have sone egg rolls at Half time!

CLynn enjoyed your AM graphics; definitely lots to practice to steal a TV set like that.
Lovely Nat Geo snaps of Lynx family mossing down the highway. Just look at those tracks. Thanks.
Tsk pretty heart banner this AM. Nat'l Geographic UK doesn't have the viewing restrictions the US Digital issue does.
Not for the present.
KB lovely Snowy Owl with the perfect camo. The parrot if a person scrolls down a comment from Angela has the translation. LOL too funny.
Lani I'm keeping RRP's Diction-Aerie handy ---as well. I'm prepared for Chiefs win tonight.
Eagles glad you were able to visit w/ your mom. I will always miss mine. I had such plans for her and I as we aged. :'(
Tig hope you were able to enjoy the warmer weather. Luna?

You got that right!
My house has decided to just split it down the middle....one for KC and one for the 49ers.....seems fair to me, LOL
Shannon was cheering for SF! ;D

{{{Eagles}}} :-*. What a Game! So close I had to lock myself in the office and do Eburg's Puzzles :o :P
I wish we were back in Salina to enjoy this with our friends!!!
Baz, I hope you had a good walk today.... Great song by The Young Rascals. I haven't heard their music in years.... The Frogs! LOL ;D
Tsk, Did you and Tim watch any golf? What a gorgeous day in Scottsdale! Good golf! We hardly know any of the players anymore. We spend time watching the senior players too.

Phyl, the Yezo Sitka deer, nice video! If you just glance it kind of looks like he has bucked teeth! Those cute Valentine stick kids!
Lani! Hooray for the Chiefs! What a game, so close most of the time that you had to go work on puzzles! I bet Mike was on the edge of his chair! Here is a short video of the Lahainaluna: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/lahainaluna-performs-coin-toss-before-super-bowl/ar-BB1i8gQF
Phyl, I didn't sit and watch the game either, it was on and I checked in often. Ed was watching it, the only football game he actually watches!

CLynn I had the guest room TV on as I worked on the computer in my study. When it got into OT I hustled downstairs and sat with Jim to watch the nail biting finish.
It was so thoughtful of the NFL to invite Lahainaluna to perform Half Time, I did catch 'some' of that on TV. As always your'e so thoughtful to post the video of their
performance. Thanks

Did not watch golf but in the tourney the week before, did not know anyone on the first page of the leader board!!

Royal Albatross ~ LGL Returns Home! Ranger Weighs TFT Chick! 💕🐥💕 2.12.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znxKQwrnpa4
TFT gets a weighing and check up this morning. Tomorrow we start the weekly weight checks for TF who is 20 days old today. TFT chick is 12 days old today and may be weighed once a week as well. 💕
Sweet LGL is home after being at sea three days! When she walks up to LGK she skycalls, LGK skycalls and so does neighbor BOK! LGL & LGK preen one another briefly - LGK gets up and it is doesn't take LGL long to capitalize on the changeover. But LGK is standing over the nest so she has to push her way in there only 6 minutes after she arrived! They both are looking down at little TF who is vocalizing in its baby voice. GK finally moves his leg and LGL stands over their chick. 🐥 LGK does some gardening close to the cam before he walked out of view. Thank you for watching!
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk
Beautiful light shining on TF (Top Flat ) Dad and chick.

Clynn, stunning view from Moab, Utah! What a sight in Central Tasmania! Thanks for LahainaLuna video, I was very happy for them and their community who shared in this honor.
Tsk, Majority of top names in golf have joined LIV. But, we do enjoy watching the Seniors play too.
Kb, stunning photo capture of owl... love the mosiac.

Just getting around to posting, as I had a vet visit for Bandit this morning for his distemper shot. He has gained half a pound back, from the one pound that he lost back in October.
kb - Love the owl mosaic
tsk - I agree, that game was a nail biter!
Phyl - Oh my goodness, the baby hummers, so cute! Thanks for the 365. Cute Valentine's figurines.
clynn - Agree with that coffee post...first sip! Beautiful pic from Moab, Utah.
Lani - So glad that Mike's team won! Cute good night kitty. So nice to include The Lahainaluna in the Super Bowl. Thank you for the Royal update!

Morning all.
KB based on my studies as a layperson of ancient civilizations and culture for the past 40 yrs . This is section of mosaic floor most likely from the 'House of the Birds', in 2nd century Roman ruins of Italica, Spain Europe. Thank you so much for sharing this. As you know I love archaeology and ancient history. Awesome owl in flight. Thanks
TSk cute Woodstock making a field kick; yes Hummers are so pretty and colorful---most delicate bird and amazing migration to and fro the US
-
LANI Thanks for the Royals report . I find myself actually saying their names in colors so I remember LOL. I remember LGK is the male cuz K ( black) is for king. LOLOL ;) And we do have a "Beautiful Morning" here. Sun shining and heading to mid 40's
Too bad about LIV...We watch the seniors too.
LISA Bandit doing good ;D Is distemper required by law?
-
Phyl - thanks for that detailed historical info on the mosaic..
When I watch this I think of BL and Pip!:

(https://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/375575-Raining-Happy-Monday-Animated-Quotes.gif)
Happy Rainy Monday, Beakers!! :)
Rainy days and Mondays do not get me down. ;) ;D
I walked 27 minutes yesterday before the game. Yay, Chiefs!! :D
I won't walk today - rain, rain, rain... expecting 2-4 inches here, from when it started early last evening, till whenever it quits tomorrow. Then will get high winds here as this system turns into a Nor-easter overnight tonight, and rolls up the coastline to dump more rain, wind, and major snowfall on the coastal Northeastern U.S. The wind advisory has already posted here for tonight and tomorrow. It will be a gale along the coastline, and expecting 40+mph winds here, but much higher for the Northeast, as that system quickly intensifies later today and tonight into a Nor'easter. NYC, and the New England coastal regions will get a fast-paced 6-12 inches of snow out of it, at least! It would be way more snow, except for the fact that it will move through so quickly.
Karen, stay alert today - you're in the area with a much-elevated risk of severe weather today. You and Piper stay safe!
Lisa, is your mom still planning on going to Gulf Shores? Mobile has such a big Mardi Gras scene, I guess I'm a little surprised she's going to Gulf Shores instead, though that sure is a pretty place, in good weather. I ate my dinner before the game yesterday, too! LOL, and moved on to snacks during the game. ;D
Lani, you and I have had some nerve-wracking sporting events this week, LOL. First, both our fav college basketball teams barely squeaked out wins in their basketball games a few days ago, and then the Super Bowl game... what a finish - in OT!! I watched it all, and loved the ending! ;D I love that song you posted, too - Beautiful Day, by the Young Rascals. :)
Clynn, that "Good Lovin'" is another great song by the Young Rascals you posted! Their stuff was so melodic and catchy. Those outfits they're wearing on that Ed Sullivan Show... LOL! They look a lot like The Monkees in that clip!
BL, looks like you and Pip and Kopje have a big flash of snow on the way tonight and tomorrow. Wax those runners, and enjoy! :)
TSK, pro golf sure has gone through a transformation the last few years... for the good, the bad, and the ugly... and some surprising flip-flops by some of the pros.
E4E, sorry about your 49ers... a nail-biter to the finish! It sure could've gone either way. I bet you had some good snacks for you and Kris to enjoy during the game. It was a Party of One at my house... well, two, I guess, since Zippo joined in on a couple of the snacks, but she mostly snoozed during the game, except for when I hollered. LOL!
Oldguy, did you have to work during the game, or did you get a chance to relax and enjoy some of your yummy food treats and watch?
Have a Great Day, Beakers!! :D

bounce
I had a good werkout in a warm pool this a.m. I then went to our local pharmacy and purchased a cane with a small 4 cup rubber tip, to use at the Y. Time to do dishes and make Rice Krispies bars.
Good posts all...

tsk - I just had the conversation with the vet today about the distemper, as Jeff didn't think it was necessary we get the shots. It is not required by law here, only rabies. He said, cats get the distemper vaccine to keep three different diseases away. Even tho they are indoor kitties, he says, they should still get the shot, since the disease can be passed to them from the shoes we wear outside and such. And, with all the kitties that we have outside, he said it is best to get the vaccine for Bandit and Misty to keep them healthy.
kb - I am glad that you and Ollie got your walk in today.
baz - Hahaha! I do not think Mama is going to Mardi Gras tomorrow, even in Gulf Shores. I think she thought she was going to feeling 100%, just two weeks after having major surgery. It is taking her a lil longer to feel better than she thought. She's having a lil trouble sitting up straight in a chair. She says, I feel ok when sitting in my car. ::)
tig - Sounds like a good day for you. Mmmm, Rice Krispies bars!
-
Congratulations to KC and to Lani & all the KC fans out there!! It was a nail-biter of a game for sure!! Of course we are still licking our wounds over here!
Baz - A rainy day for you today! We have sun, but it is a cool 58 today - we'll take it tho! CA has had a ton of rain lately that its nice to be dry for a little bit!
We had snacks for the first part of the game, and then we had Tri-tip sandwiches (meat sliced thin on french sandwich roll) and I had made a potato salad. :)
I'm glad you & Zippo had some yummy snacks and good food too!! ;D I wish everyone could be a winner in the Superbowl, but of course that is impossible - someone has to lose. :(
Karen - You are so right about those other football teams; there were some really Great playoff games leading up to Superbowl!! You & Piper have a nice day. :)
Hi Tig!
Lani - I can only imagine the loud applause & hollers in your house following the game last night! ;D ;D Again, Congrats to you & Mike's team 'Chiefs' on their fantastic win!!
Clynn - I loved the tribute; Lahainaluna HS Football team - this choked me up, it was so touching.
Phyl - Thank you for Aryana Hummingbird - I will come back later to the links!
Tsk - Yes! Last night's game was a nail-biter - so intense during the OT!!
LisaG - Hope all went well at Bandit's vet appt. :)
Kb - So appropriate for BL & Pip; Animals/pets and a warm fire! ;D
Lori - Thank you so much for your PM - Folks, this did Not have to do with football! Lol!
We haven't taken our vw bus out for a ride in a long while, so we are getting ready to go! We are taking advantage of the dry streets in our area now! ;D
Beakers have a nice Monday :)

CLynn enjoyed the snaps of Moab, Utah and Kim's of the sheep next door in her central Tasmania home town.
Tsk I took another look at todays N365 and those yezo with the white lower jaw makes appear to have an 'overbite'. Luv their cute
fluffy heinies !
Lani many thanks for the Royal A. update and snaps. That is truly a lovely photo of TF and Dad with the
sunshine highlighting their faces. Great videos by LH, too.
Lisa very relieved to know your mama is sitting this Mardi Gras---out. ;) ; good news w/Bandit---Maggie's filling out too! How's Misty?
I think the country will be reeling from Chief's SB victory for a long time. ;)
KB just luv 'the best frens...' from Twitter ( or X) such a sweet photo of puppy and kitten. And, yes I think of BL and PIP when I see it too. ;) Glad you and the Ollieman had a nice brisk walk and his mani went well too.
Tig envy you, your AM swim laps. Rice Krispies bar. Last time I eat any of those it was Mom's handiwork. :-* :'(
Eagles do enjoy your four wheel cruising ;) --- Right it's really raining, a downpour !
If it ever warms up good and proper---watch out Jimmy !!
-
KB How sweet that little cat and dog warming up by the fire ;D Did Chris go along to the vet for the nail clip?
BAZI In for some rough weather and glad you do not live on the NE coast :o
TIG Smart move with the cane...Who are the Rice Crispy bars for ? or shouldn't I ask LOL
LISA Does Mom have a recliner? I think that cars have seats that somewhat recline so...maybe is why she likes it better? Or is it at the kitchen table straight back chair she feels uncomfortable? So glad she decided to listen to her body and not go to the parade.
EAGLES I bet you need to take that VW out for a ride pretty often or do you keep a trickle charge on it?
-
some of my puzzles
-
tsk - no, Chris didn't go with me today...wish he would but he said he would have with any snow or ice...LOL..not sure how that would have helped but oh well ;) Of course Ollie cried on the way there, was anxious in the waiting room so I let him walk around and sniff everything which calmed him. In the room we go to I hold him on his back and all went well even with a new tech. They changed the big chair to a smaller one which meant a little "thinking" was in order to figure out how to lift him up on me on his back but we got it. On the way home he was just fine!
I put his kennel in the middle row of my suv and then move the passenger seat back back and tight against it.
He is safer than running around like a banshee in the car crying for sure.
Good news for Chris though is he has finally put on some weight...he's gained 20 needed pounds....yah!..took him about 4 years....

E4E - Enjoy your outing in the VW bus!
Phyl - Misty is a fatty patty, as we call her. She never misses a meal, and is always hungry.
tsk - Great job on the puzzles, and all so pretty. Sitting at the kitchen table, or a straight back chair is what is hurting her. She feels more comfortable in a recliner or seat of her car.
kb - Yay for Chris!
Lori - Adorable SWFL gifs!
Good Night, everyone!

KB You have that vet visit perfected. Chris gaining weight could have something to do with those good crockpots you make ;) ;)
LORI Thanks much for E23 getting the feel for life as an eagle ;) Always a fun time to watch. :D

Lori, beautiful pic of E23! Thank you! How are you and Destini doing these days?
Phyl, cute 'schrooms with snails!
tsk, nice puzzles! How long does it usually take for a 500 vs. a 1000?
Lisa, Fatty Patty! there is a girl that I worked with, she was like Mia Farrow, her name was Patty, and we called her Fatty Patty! And then there was Smitty, who we called Shi**y Smitty. Then there were the three tall skinny girls who walked the halls, we called them Charlie's Angels. Once in a while a male friend would walk with them, we called him Bosley. Oh well.... ::)
E4E, did you and Kris have a good ride in your VW Bus? Do you ever watch Unsellable Houses? They are twins who do houses so they will sell, up in Snohomish WA. They are both VW freaks! They did a house for a guy who was a VW collector, he had about 10 restored vehicles. He even had the Thing!
baz, stay safe, don't get blown away!

Hello Beakers
cards were outstanding Sat. night - won 3 out of 3 with the last one very short - won it in only 2 hands ( both over 5000 points).
It got up to 47 today - staying warm until after the rain forecast for Wed. - then 3 days of more normal temps before it gets back to the 50s again. On Thursday we set a record of 67 - breaking the old record by 8 degrees. Most of the piles of snow are gone and the grass is green. We had very little runoff from the snow melt as the ground was not frozen. It looks like the Kentucky to Boston area will wakeup to 4 - 12 in. of snow by morning.

Lani must be having connectivity issues again! It feels strange not to see her post when I start my post in the mornings! 32 here, high 48 today.
Phyl, wow on the video, I had never heard of waking everyone up to start Mardi Gras! Thanks for the history of Mardi Gras! Beautiful 365, love the view of the moon over the wetlands and the sounds of the cranes! Happy Shrove Tuesday! Also known as Fat Tuesday!

E4E, you and Kris will never be without a ride, that's for sure!
BL, I do think it would be mind boggling to walk on the ground below all those Hoodoos! Our country is full of beautiful, strange and mysterious things! And I keep seeing things I have never seen!
oldguy, thanks for all the links, looking forward to watching them a bit later! Good news on the cards! This weather is strange for this time of year, right now TWC says we may get up to an inch of snow on Friday.
SF Bay Ospreys - The 2024 nesting season is expected to begin within the next few weeks! Rosie's earliest return was February 18, and her latest return was March 7 (Richmond overwinters in the area.)
Their original nest site, which they did not use last year, has long since deteriorated from the wind, rain, and various birds and raccoons.
Last year's nest site has now also suffered from the wind and the Ravens. This image (click for full view) shows the nest before and after a large chunk blew off on February 4. And in the past few days a pair of Ravens have been stealing or kicking off most of the remainder of the sticks. On the plus side, a fine lawn remains! 😅
We are hoping for Rosie's safe return from migration soon, and will be curious to learn where Rosie and Richmond set up their 2024 home. Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

Happy Shrove Tuesday Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Morning Beakers,
I didn't feel good last night while typing my post. I clicked post and shut my computer, but I see this morning my post didn't make it in. Sorry. :(
Lisa, glad to hear Bandit is doing well and gained his 1 lb. back... so glad your mom is staying home this year. She's listening to her body.... Fatty Patty ;D
Tsk, Identifying this year's cam Albatross family is made a bit easier by using the area the albies nests are located. Top Flat (TF) is family on the left of cam shot on level grass. Top Flat Track (TFT) lower nest in tall grass right of cam shot.
Kb, sweet pic of pup/kitty buddies sitting in front of a warm fire. YAY Chris! ;D. ... what a lovely story about Frank Kafka, such a sweet kind man. :-*
Baz, oh my last night's Jayhawk's game was devastating... Mike turned off the tv, lights and went to bed. When I finally got up from my desk to go to bed, it was dark, I tripped over Sadie, over the cats waiting at their usual spots for me. My hot tea spilled on the floor :P. I mean Mike turned off all the lights! All the way to the master bathroom. Not even night lights on! geez! :o I don't know if he'll ever watch a game again, he was so traumatized. :-X LOL! I'm laughing in my office right now, door shut. He's still not talking... I hope you and Zippo are okay with the storms coming. Take care.
Tig glad you were able to have some pool time... Rice Krispies Bars, YUM!!! It's been years since I've made them... Amen for the Lakewood Church community... What a cool wooden cat puzzle! 8) ... another nice morning to use the pool, prayers for the instructor's hubby's surgery.
Eagles, SF have a great team, it was a great game. Did you enjoy your drive in the VW.
Tsk, beautiful puzzles. They would be fun to do....
Lori, Love SWFL gifs, I can't believe how big E23 has grown! Time goes by too fast. Love the look E23 gives mom after wing flap. :-*
Phyl, sweet good night pic, that would make a great puzzle... beautiful nature video from Japan.... thank you for RRP update on the Decorah Norths... thanks for the history of Mardi Gras.
Clynn, If you read my post to Baz, you will know Mike hasn't calmed down and it's not because of the Chiefs, it's his Jayhawks! :-X ... I'm minding my own business, and I'm hoping pancakes for tonight's dinner will sooth the beast! ;D .... amazing Wheeler Hoodoos... Beautiful pics this morning, love the pic of the French Quarters, NO... I wish someone would go up and help R & R with their nest.
Oldguy, you were busy last night, thanks for all the links, I'll check them out today.
BL, I'm not surprised you've explored a Hoodoo. LOL!... very sad about the loss of 5 marines. We've lost quite a few by accidents these past few months.

OLDGUY Claire is a really interesting person and to reveal herself as she did - :o Black cats ;D ;D
PHYL Thanks for all the Mardi Gras links ;)
KB Nice story about Kafka
TIG Thanks for the puzzle link $$$$$ LOL
LANI Hope you are feeling beter today. :-* Poor ((((Mike))) :'(

Lani - glad you survived. Turn those lights on grrl !!!
the krispie bars for us... I use a whole stick of butter, extra marshmallows, extra vanilla, so they stay gooey, not hard. This time I even added these on top of each one. "Magically delicious!" https://www.target.com/p/kraft-lucky-charms-marshmallows-7oz/-/A-54538256
Camper is a big fan of Lucky Charms. Poor thing...

Lisa, Fatty Patty! there is a girl that I worked with, she was like Mia Farrow, her name was Patty, and we called her Fatty Patty! And then there was Smitty, who we called Shi**y Smitty. Then there were the three tall skinny girls who walked the halls, we called them Charlie's Angels. Once in a while a male friend would walk with them, we called him Bosley. Oh well.... ::)
baz, stay safe, don't get blown away! Here's a good oldie I am sure you will remember!
Clynn, you bet I remember that song!! Haven't heard it in a long, long time though. :) LOLOLOL on the nicknames for those people at your workplace!! ;D ;D ;D Your mentioning that makes me miss one of my good buddies from my old corporate headquarters workdays... she and I did much the same... so funny! :D

Baz, oh my last night's Jayhawk's game was devastating... Mike turned off the tv, lights and went to bed. When I finally got up from my desk to go to bed, it was dark, I tripped over Sadie, over the cats waiting at their usual spots for me. My hot tea spilled on the floor :P.

Lani, oh no! I missed the KU game last night, but I just looked it up. Ugh! What a shellacking!! Well, I know what that feels like - my team has had their share, for sure. Ugh! After my team's 2 losses last week, we fell from number 3 to number 7 this week. ::) I'm glad it wasn't worse though. My Heels play tonight at 7p, eastern time. I'm nervous now, after hearing your story!! I hope Mike comes around before KU's next game, on Saturday, I think I saw... Oh my, I'm sorry you felt bad, and hope you're feeling better, but you just about "tripped the light fantastic!" on your way to bed last night!! :o Good grief! Glad you, and all the sleeping furries there who were in your path, are okay! Yes, I think your Fat Tuesday pancake supper will help soothe Mike. ;D I want some! With extra bacon, please, too? ;D/size]

Lani - Oh no, I feel so bad for you tripping in the dark and spilling your tea last night - and sorry for your night post not posting. :( Hope tonight is better. {{Lani}} Yes we enjoyed our ride to Monterey in our VW bus yesterday!
Tsk - That is a pricey puzzle - probably more than you or I would pay! Lol! I too, prefer to do a hands-on puzzle on a table rather than 'on line'. :)
Baz - Cute 'Fish thrill ride'! ;D
BL - I bet you have some good hoodoo stories! As someone said, you could write a book!
Lori - Thinking of you and hoping your Grandma Helen is doing a little better.
OG - Has work been busy? You will probably be setting out 'Spring time' stuff soon!
Hi Puff! How are you doing? Thinking of you and sending a gentle hug. :)
Beakers have a good evening and all stay safe in the snow and rainy weather.

Thanks for the puzzle link. Pretty puzzles.
{{{Baz}}} sending hugs, Mike watched NC play tonight! ugh! sorry :( .... I'm still not use to seeing longtime teams I've been watching with new coaches... Mike made banana pancakes, I was his sous chef and made bacon, fried potatoes... fishies thrill ride! ;D

Lani, glad to hear you and Mike are feeling better! I also wake up at 5:00 in the morning, can't seem to change. That was the time I got up to get ready for work for a long time... Oh no, sorry you stumbled in the dark, can you take your phone with you and turn on the flashlight? I bet you get that 'peaceful easy feeling' when you look at all your loves sound asleep... That hat on that kitty is so cute! Banana pancakes, sounds good!
karen, the stores will be crowded with guys buying flowers today! Our grocery store has a floral department, they always set up an extra place for flowers to be purchased on Valentines Day.
tsk, I got a mental picture of you fishing out the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms! Do you know you can get just Marshmallows?

E4E, yes, i hope Richmond and Rosie rebuild their nest in the same spot! I love those two ever since i saw the video about the hat!
Lisa, I need to catch up with a couple of co-workers soon! We have to wait until the one that moved to Tucson comes here! Catching up is fun, so much is going on there now!
baz, I can't decide which is my favorite Elvis song, there are so many... always liked Suspicious Minds. But that's just one... ;D

CLYNN LOL I usually forget my phone has a flashlight... So funny. I'm a Total cereal eater and toss in some Fiber One. Alternate with oatmeal, eggs, Trader Joes multigrain toaster waffles ;) ;) ;) Visited Deadwood in the '60s when family was on a camping trip. Your comparison is fun to look at.

Me, too Clynn Had to get on I55 and early into Chicago (beat the rush crowd) until 1994. Old habit still. Habit even continued with Ashley - She used to be first up for feeding in early morning. Neither one of us ever retooled hours when I retired teaching. Yesterday even worse; had early meeting at 7a.m. Left at 6:30. Don't even know the how or why but I woke up at 4:30. Good sleep last night though.

What a difference a year makes. 90.3" for the season last winter. ::)

We ended up with about 9" of heavy wet snow from yesterdays Nor' Easter.
Not 25 miles to the NW of us got between 13"-15".
We dodged a bullet here as the Low shifted to the NW a bit at the last minute.
A shift in the storms track of 25 to 40 miles makes a huge difference here.

Lani ... Glad you are both better. BTW... we have adjustable Hue lighting all through the home, so we have low lighting all night. Before that, for years, we used flat plug in night lights.
Happy Valentine's Day 💕
Yup... BL... hopefully we will only get 2 to 3 inches in our neck of the woods

Happy V Day! What a confusing occurrence! A Fast day and a Feast Day occurring on the same Day! Phyl ,wonder how often this occurs? Thanks for the history of St. Valentines . Love those red, heart shaped boxes of chocolates!
Puff. I worked an early shift downtown to beat the traffic on I 90. Both in the morning and afternoon but I am not a morning person!
Clynn, E 23 has grown up fast! Hope he/she doesn’t try to leave too soon! I too like the osprey! Beautiful looking birds!
Bl, take care if you are out moving that heavy wet stuff! Due to melt soon? At least the garden state will have a good soaking! Hear La Nina will soon overtake El Nino.
Lani sounds like you and Mike are back on track! Kitties are funny creatures! Prowl all night and sleep all day after gettin the wait staff up at dark thirty for food and drink! Their to ned with humans does not usually last all night.

Great long term chart BL....I didn't live here during those whoppers in the early 80's!....I love the 25 inchers or less!...
Somehow last year we did somehow recover from a mod-severe drought to just dry.
Guess we shall need some heavy rain this spring for sure.
I'll have to look up rain guestimates for El Nino years.

found this posted in 2015 describing likelihood of dry/wet springs: March, April, and May during El Nino years.
Looks like we MIGHT be dry this spring.
Typical El Nino years last 9-12 months.
La Nina will kick in this year but may not before summer ends.
Guess I'll have to get my sprinklers ready, LOL and POCKET BOOK

karen - I love bacon with pancakes, too.
Lani - I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. :)
clynn - I do love to catch up, and see what has changed in the office since I left. Wow, SWFL kiddo is getting big! Main Street - Deadwood, S Dakota has come a long way since 1877.

Happy Valentine's Day Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Clynn, Like your old work schedule, Mike starts working at 5:30am, he always receives his first calls from Louisiana, clocks in at main office in Ohio at 6am... I always plug my iphone by my desktop... Mike always leaves the tv on in the bedroom and then I turn it off when I go to bed... He was not a happy camper (Tig ;D) when he went to bed Monday night.... awww Baby E :-* ... great Deadwood photos. I bet the town ghosts makes noises at night.
Kb, yep, looks like snow is heading your way. Sadie our protector looks like that too. :-*
Tsk, I plug my iphone near my desktop before I go to bed.
Phyl.... Amen, and so it begins! ... the beautiful Manchurian crane, love the head popping up in last few moments.
{{{Puff}}} Old habits. :-*
BL, thanks for weather update
Tig, I'll check on Hue lighting. We do have plug-in Led nightlights in bathroom/kitchen/top of stairs down to lower floor... I hope you and Camper have a nice day planned.
Karen, Yep, kitties are funny creatures. They sleep during the day. And then after midnight, they smack or bite your head, jump on your stomach, purr in your ear when you're trying to sleep. ;D ... E23 has grown fast and hopefully able to defend itself if owls bother nest. But, so far it's been good.
Lisa, Do you have plans to visit little Miss Sydney this Valentine's Day? I hope your mom is feeling better each day.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
I ❤️ Rosie and Richmond, and Jackie and Shadow, in addition to all the other nests we love to follow!! ❤️❤️❤️ :-* :-*
Last night, on the ABC Nightly News, they did a sweet segment on Jackie and Shadow (Big Bear nest, San Bernadino, CA), and views from their live cam, and some clips, including the record 62 straight hours of Jackie sitting on the eggs to protect them in the recent CA storms there!! Love them getting this great exposure to a huge audience. More love for the Eagles! ❤️❤️ :-* :-*
Here's that clip of Jackie and Shadow, from yesterday's news broadcaset - minute-and-a-half:

PHYL Yummy looking heart waffles. :) Three Saints Valentine - who knew :o
BL Glad you reported in. Wonder how you faired with the huge storm. Glad to hear you dodged a bullet compared to what it could have been. :o
TIG We have the flat plug in night lights all over the house for night time ambient light. Would need to google hue lighting
LISA Avocado is the A in your sandwich??? LOL
KB Shepherd with ungrateful parents LOLOL
LANI Look at those kisses on the pups head ;D ;D
BAZI Yes you are right - good story to end ABC news night. Just make more people aware. Now they need to show what an eagle looks like with lead poisoning... ::)

Lightly snowing here....have been watching Mr. Tower perched for more than an hour.
He just took off now. He's my barometer when snow will get heavier in general.

Karen - I finally looked up Publix and see it is a Supermarket headquartered in FL! I wish we had one over in our area. :)
Lani - Hope your migraine is better and happy that Mike seems better too!!
Clynn - Like your cute Valentine's gifs! That would be great if Richmond & Rose built their nest in the same spot. :) Amazing photos in real life time!
Tsk - One of my favorite cereals is Grapenuts Flakes (had that this morning)! I alternate different breakfast items for us too. :)
Phyl - Cute young crane in 365 :)
Hi Puff :)
BL - Glad you guys dodged a bullet! Jersey was looking very white during the weather segments. :o

LisaG - Glad you had a good evening with your former co-worker. I like what you got to eat-yum!

Work has been moderate for number of customers, but out of control for setting spring. 1-3 aisles per day are getting reset. Started this in mid January. We even got a shipment of fruit trees in last Thursday. With the warm weather, much has gotten done in the Garden Center - about half of the aisles are set and stocked, with the rest of them set for March.

Lani, I want one of these bright green birds! Or maybe two since they seem like love birds and would be lonesome alone!
Dental appointment this afternoon that went well! Cleaning and xray! Go back in 6 months! He was surprised to see me wanlking fast thru the halls as he was not real sure I would make it when I visited him from the home and then just after I got home at which point I had undiagnosed vertigo! Lol! Well, now all I have to do is make it until September!
Dr. a Hall came by today with another plant! This one is a dainty white rose! Quite pretty!
When it out grows its little pot I will transplant it and move it to the screen porch!
Clynn, when I saw tge pictures of Deadwood. i thought, what a difference a day makes but of course this major transformation took way more than a mere 24 hours!
Eagles, you. Are right about Publix! This is where Phyls Jim works. The stores sre all over the south. In a recent ranking of grocery stores, Publix was in the top 3 for customer service, etc. it may have been 2 behind Cosco who had improved and moved to number 1.
Off to clean up the kitchen after a dinner of Shrimp Alfredo and a garden salad! May also get another cuppa!
Seds
Love the cheap etc, old Guy! So true!
-
karen, you are doing so well, being at home! Proud of you! I am glad you have Dr. Hall around to check on you!
Lani, those sweet little parrots...love is in the air!
E4E, I haven't had grapenut flakes in forever! I think I will have to try them again! I have been having 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of Sarah Lee De-Lightful toast with reduced calorie butter, only 3 points on WW! But I need some variety!
Puff, love those Yankee Scent Plugs, Amber and Sandalwood is my favorite. I like the Yankee car freshners too! My favorite candle of all times is WoodWick Redwood. Fragrance: A complex scent combining rich redwood with sandalwood and soft amber. Love the earthy scents!
tsk, I have night lights all over the house too, so I know where I am going at night... some I turn on and off, some automatically come on when it gets dark enough.
baz, great video of Jackie and Shadow. I so hope they have a good year this year!
Lani, poor Mike, I would have hoped the euphoria from Sunday would have made Monday sting less... Sam had his neuter today, he is fine except that Sophie doesn't like the scents on him and keeps hissing and bopping him. I think they will be okay in a day or two! She gets her spay next week. Boy, I have a LOY of $$$ invested in these sweeties! Sam got chipped, Sophie will next week.
Lisa, isn't it kind of sacrilegious to go to an Italian restaurant and have a BLT? ;D ;D I agree, bacon goes wonderfully with pancakes and syrup!
oldguy, you have been busy! Throw Valentines Day, and now Easter in there for the seasonal stuff! Maru, Hana and Miri love the wood stove! I would too!
Interesting article regarding this Midwest 'Lost'winter: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/02/14/record-warm-winter-greatlakes-midwest-snow-ice-climate/

Phyl, I saved your pic of the hearts from this morning, I think I could make those! Very pretty! I used to do a lot of crafts back in the 90's.

Lani - Thanks for the kind words for Mama. I did not get to see Miss Sydney, but I did mail her a 1st Valentine's card.
baz - Thanks for the clip. Jackie is amazing!
tsk - Yes! It was avocado. It was a nice addition to the sandwich.
E4E - I know you were talking to tsk about your cereal, but my new favorite cereal from Cheerios is their Hearty Nut Medley - Cinnamon Maple flavored. So good.
oldguy - Thanks for the Q-kids video.
karen - Glad you had a good dental appt. I wish we had a Publix here, too. Dinner sounded yummy!
Have a good night, everyone!

LANI LOVE is... :)
OLDGUY Roses are Gray ... ;D ;D Another good Santi showing cats do learn from others ;) Maru, Hana and Miri are pretty spoiled if you ask me ;D WOW Setting up for spring already. Just hard to imagine a season ahead but I know you have to.
CLYNN S&S are really getting big now. When we had Kit and Kaboodle I learned to take both to the vet even tho it was only one of them getting some treatment or another. It worked and there was none of that hissing and unfamiliar scent fighting. Lost winter is a good name for it. :o

tsk - No it is his spot....sorry for the terrible pic, but it was lightly snowing. I used my digital camera and the batteries were literally dead. I needed to recharge them just to close the lens.
It's zoomed way in without a tripod so what you see is the post on the right. There is another one to it's left.

CLynn enjoyed the Deadwood S Dakota. 'then & now

Eagle's Gosh! I could have given you the 'skinny' on Publix Supermarkets ;)---Jim works in the store on Mt View Road on heading toward Smyrna, TN...been with them 8 years! Publix is wholly owned by the Jenkins family who founded and their employees who receive dividends on the stock each employee 'buys' with each year of tenure. ;D ;)
BL tks for the weather charts no doubt all the Beakers living in areas of incrementing weather appreciate them.
KB Hurrah! A visit from Mr. Tower ;) The G. Shepherd LOL
Lani awwww tender parrot moment
'Valentine's Day is really 'St. Valentine's Day
OG LOL dog 'Roses are grey..." tks for links---I'm about '40yrs' behind in all my subscription reading LOL
Well. I think I'm all caught up for the day---wouldn't swear to it though. ;)

Don't you know I've rope dropped in from the Condors Beak in the upper right corner.
Many moons ago after the Condors Beak boulder fell west.
I believe we tied into the peace symbol after then.
Some views stop you dead in your tracks.

Looking up from lacing ones hiking boots.
On the valley floor two footing it into a nature maze.

We are home safe. Looks like we have around 3 inches here , so far. :-[ A car spun out in front of us on the freeway on the way home. Phew! Camper did a great job being calm.
Dinner was fun, and I got 2 dozen roses, sort of. LOL. Casablanca was wonderful, of course. It was great to see it on the big screen.

Yes, tsk The plug ins are always in supply in my linen closets. Mostly use the plug ins so I get strong scents, plus some lighted plug ins with nightlights. Then there are also hanging scenters. I do watch for sales, sometimes 50% off. My fav scents are planned around the seasons. Example: autumn spice for fall, halloween, Thanksgiving; Cedar and spice for Christmas; and my go-to mostly, midsummer's night. Have a red sweet apple for the red oriental bathroom downstairs. Even in the car I have the hanging scenter hanging from the gear shift on the console. Basically I use 4 "jars" upstairs (kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining area). Have 3 downstairs (rec room (2) and bathroom (1). Again, the bathroom jar is lighted. I use another hanger one in the kitty potty area. Another cute-sy thing is the lighted fronts can be changed; I'm guessing I have at least a dozen, or more, different fronts, 6 alone just for Christmas? Forgot you asked about how long. Yes, it's about a month, but there's a gap at the top that you can regulate.

I plan on finishing the week out at least. I chose the colored lettering in maroon as it's easier on the eyes as opposed to glaring 'Red' as a theme to the month of February. Because it's American Heart Aassociation's designated 'Hearth Month' and observance of St. Valentine's Day. :) :-*

Listening to the news, these shootings are getting scarey...
Phyl, I dread hearing the news of the ice melting in the Antarctic, it seems ominous. Good 365, it's snowing again!
Lani, Sam is doing fine, boy was he hungry when we got home! And I left kitten food with the vet, he had half of that before he came home. These two are always starving! ;D Sophie isn't hissing at Sam now, it took a few hours. I do wish I had taken them both in at the same time, but it is what it is!
tsk, what cute names for cats, Kit and Kaboodle! I always took both cats to the vet even if the appt was only for one, yes it does eliminate the hissing! I, for some reason, thought that because these two were so young it wouldn't be a problem. Wrong! Cats will be cats!
Lisa, I like Honey Nut cheerios, is the Hearty Nut Medley better? Sounds like it would be!
Phyl, sweet goodnight kitty with his teddy... Yes, Sam and Sophie have at least tripled in size since we got them!

BL, thanks for the CSN song! What would you call that kitten sleeping position?
This crow couple has been together for more than 12 years. She broke her beak 8 years ago in a collision with a car. He has patiently fed her and loved her since. They have babies every year and she is an affectionate mother, and the entire flock protect her.
Living proof that compassion is not limited to humans 🥰

PHYL We will see Valentines day and Ash Wed again in 5 yrs!! and then not til 2170 :o :o :o :o Interesting fact. Will show my last puzzle when done ;) ;)
TIG I had to go back and see if I missed something. So White Castle had a Valentines special going on? Then you went to see Casablanca on the big screen. What a special night . I would have loved that. :) Can you post the caricature ?
PUFF Boy, you are really scented up. LOL I have a Bath and Body Works one I got as a gift where I can change the front seasonally as well as the scents. It too is a night light :)
CLYNN Cookies and cup :) I love cookies ;D S&S coloring has really become distinctive now. They are so cute. Another couple weeks and they will meet their roommate LOL GREAT crow story. We've seen compassion in many animal/bird varieties.
KB Significant snowfall for you and TIG

TSK... W.C. has been having special V.D. dinners for years. The evening is by reservation only with a special printed menu, decorations, etc. The first card I examined when shopping a month ago had a quote from Casablanca. Bingo! We already had movie tickets reserved. The sketch he did of us last year was better. I'll get a pic of it soon. Besides, this year's is still out in the car...

Luca at the Wolf Haven International org.
Whew, 7 or so inches with a thick heavy bottom coat of ice/wind so chunks but fluffy on top was tough this morning. Took me a chunk of time to do the driveway and small attempts to open screen door to open upper deck and partial lower deck, ie. paths for Ollie.
Andrew texted me if I needed driveway done, I told him no done but if he wanted to hand shovel the rest of my decks, haha, he could have had it. Knowing that's not something he normally does.
However, he texted me back he WILL do the rest of them!...How lucky is that for me!...as I've been nursing my shoulder ever since...He'll be here soon so I will kennel Ollie and let him walk through the house and finish for me.
Chris drove around noon and said the roads were still real dicey in places...am assuming all the ice before snow in the shade areas...but better than going tomorrow when much colder with black ice a possibility.
Considering, all is well.

some bounce
KB... Yay, and ouch
Yup... took me an hour only though to do the walk and half the driveway and a strip for the recycling and garbage bins for tomorrow 's pickup. I jammed the shovel handle into my arthritic thumb base with a blind shove that hit a raised section on the drive. Ouch. Camper did the path to and the city walk out front.
I think our total was 4 to 5 inches. Thank goodness for the sun today.
We just dropped off our taxes at the service. Now to pick up the groceries I ordered this morning.

Clynn, :-* :-* :-* :-* for that loving crow pair, and their clan/flock. Thanks for sharing it. :-* :-* :-* I love all birds, as you probably have noticed, but I have an extra-special fondness for crows. :-* :-* :-* I know some people don't like some of their habits, but like all animals, they do what Nature has given them to do for their survival and their contribution to the natural order and balance. As some other species do, crows have very strong familial ties and often keep close family members as part of their regular traveling clan/flock together. They regularly look out for the others in their clan and help protect each other from intruders or those that may prey on them. I have watched 2 pairs of crows here who have regularly nested near where I live, and I have so enjoyed watching their devotion to their mate and to their nestlings and fledges, which they "school" much in the same way we have observed the DEs with their fledges. I love that this pair you shared here has been observed for a long time and reported on in this way. :-* :-* :-* I'm so glad Sam is all done, and recovered well, from his procedure, and I'm sure Sophie will do just as well when it's her turn. :-* :-* They are so cute together. I have forgotten which is which - please remind me? I bet Talon and Bella had a fun Valentines Day, and I'm sure you treated them with some wonderful and fun surprises and yummy treats too!! :-* :-*

Lani - Thanks for the Royal updates. Wow, so many Royal parents!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
I didn't take my walks the last couple of days, but today I walked 23 minutes. I kept it a bit short due to this being Day 7 of a nagging headache ::) and continuing inflammation, which includes every single one of my toes, making walking on concrete no fun, but! it's getting better overall! Yay!! ;) :D
Lisa, waving backatcha! :D I bet Sydney was dressed to the 9s for Valentines, and I know you spoiled her rotten, too, with the Valentines items you sent her way. I was hoping you might share a pic of her from Valentines, especially since it's her 1st one. I know she was looking extra sweet for the special day. :) :-* :-*
Lani, thanks for the great views from the RoyalCam, and the nice news and reports on some of the Royal Albies we're enjoying following there. :) They are sooo sweet!! :) :-* :-* :-*
E4E, I hope you and Kris had a fun VW Bus drive to Malibu! :)
Karen, that's so nice that your vet visited and brought a pretty white rose yesterday. She is a good friend to have! I know you must've treated Piper for Valentines, and you two shared some extra hugs, too. :) :-*
BL, what a great shot from your rappeling at the Hoodoos, and getting to explore the floor there, too! What a magical place! :)
TSK, this is a great time of year for working jigsaw puzzles. I love all the ones you've shown pictures of. Do I recall you got together with some of "the girls" the day before Valentines Day? I hear that's a thing now for women to do with their good women friends, and it's called Galentines, for the gals who are good friends to get together and share some fun the day before Valentines. Fun! :)
Waving to All the Beakers! Have a good evening! :)

LISA Should finish the puzzle tomorrow. Was a very easy one ;) ;)
BAZI Did not have a girls get together but was on my mind to send a group text and see if we can find a date to catch up while temp is still mild and no snow for us oldsters to travel. Will finish this puzzle tomorrow and am debating about doing 1 more.
Sunny but windy here today. This AM Tim saw a coyote as he was looking out the bedroom window walking down the street behind us which we can see clearly via our window. I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time LOL

Og - Sounds like the store is getting prepared for Spring sales! I bet the first nice weekend weather will have the employees super busy!
Karen - Glad you had a nice dental appt with getting teeth cleaned! Publix sounds like a great store. :)
Clynn - How is Sam feeling after his neuter? Poor little guy! Glad Sophie has quit hissing! :) Can't believe how much Sam & Sophie have grown - love the pictures of then & now! Love the crows and their story - such a special couple :-*
LisaG - I buy cheerios too, but I have not bought the Cinnamon Maple flavor, so I will look for that one! My hubby likes all different cereals, so I try to keep several different ones on hand!
Tsk - Good suggestion for Clynn to take both kitties to the vet even though maybe only one has an appt. ;D Interesting fact about the next V-day & Ash Wednesday years!
Kb - So exciting to see Mr.Tower coming around and perching sometimes!
Phyl - Good info on the Publix store and how the employees can receive dividends! Thank you for your good info. :) Like your throw-back Thursday! :)
Bl - Wow that photo! You sure have exciting stories to share - actually dangerous! ;D
Tig - What a special Valentines day for you!! ;D The caricature is so cute!!
Puff - The plug-ins you use sound real nice! I have been using Febreze plug-ins for about 6 months. I adjust them on the top too.
Lani - Hope you had a nice Valentine's day. We went out the day before yesterday to beat the crowd. I chose to have lunch rather than dinner as the weather was not very good to be out. Thanks so much for Albatross :)
Baz - The other day, we drove our vw bus over to Monterey, CA not Malibu! ;D Monterey is just a 30 minute drive from our house. :) Good for you in the walks you take! 8) Lil pat on the head for Zippo :)

Just lost a long post so will just say thanks for all the good info today and seds!

Forgot to mention... We saw the DNR BE pair soaring over the mighty Mississippi today...

I don't have live tv anymore - too expensive for my budget... So I keep tabs on ESPN and review videos and stats. Catlin had a record breaking night - career points 1st place women BB - broke it on a 3 point shot from the logo, and most points in a game (49) by a woman at Carver Arena (U of IA) Final score 106 to 89

Oldguy, All good wishes for Claire's new cat 18 year old General, beautiful Siamese cat. He looks dazed right now, I hope he settles in.... Are you going to be using Roku or streaming your favorite shows? We're seriously considering dropping our cable too.
Kb, Luca is gorgeous! Glad you've got your snow situation handled. :)
SED Lisa, Those were single and "Keeping Company" Albies socializing with the nesting families. Keeping Company Albies are engaged pairs and maybe next year they'll get married and build a nest. ;D At least that's what the rangers say. ;D ... Mike had Cheerios this morning. He likes Raisin Bran, Cheerios the plain one.
{{{Baz}}} feel better soon, sending hugs and prayers. :-*
Tsk, Sadie sees coyotes before I do, I turn around and it's gone... Sadie's got her hackles up and she's ready to go for it. :-\
Phyl, Faith and Eros must be the babies. Goodness, they've grown!
Tig, no, we didn't watch the game. Caitlin's name is all over twitter right now. And I read about it. WOW!
Eagles, We had a quiet Valentines day at home.... It's been years since we've been to Monterey. Sounds like a fun day for you both.
{{{SED Karen and Piper}}} sorry you lost your post. I know how you feel.. :-\
Good night!
Polar Bear sow and cubs after sunset :-*

Just a quick post this morning, Kelsey and I have our annual doctor appointments this morning, have to get ready! Will be back after. Also, I want to apologize, if I don't comment on anyone's post it's because I am having trouble reading the small print this morning...
Lani, we dropped cable 3 or so years ago and got Dish. Not too happy with it either, has gone from $99 to $139 and we have had issues when it rains or is windy, plus it just stops and re-wets daily. Erin said we should pick a couple of streaming services. Great Alby information, you have made us love those big birds! Hugs for the traveling polar bears...
tsk, I think it's a good idea to get the girls together, I know you all enjoy it so! I need to text my friend Vesselina again, time for a get together!
baz, I do love crows too, they land at my bird feeders occasionally and I welcome them! They and their babies need to survive too! And I agree, they are very smart! There have been studies done that prove this! Sam and Sophie are doing fine! Sam is the one with the dark, very distinctive points (ears, feet, tail and face), Sophie is the one with the 'wild' points! She was supposed to be a blue point, but I think whe is a Tortie Point/Snowshoe Siamese mix. Doesn't matter though, she has stolen our hearts! They are like Talon and Bella, calm and wild!
Lisa, still chuckling about 'Fatty Patty'!

I love Autumn
Currently 41F cloudy High 60F heavy rain, Low 29F
Eagles Your Cheerios sound tasty
We eat Great Grains Jim, Red Berry Crunch switches to Pecan crunch in Ber months; me Cranberry Crunch and then Pecan/date crunch in the Ber months
Lani nice winter polar bears last night. I can't possibly think of winter as snow's gone and no chance of it---
it still looks like Autumn here with dead leaves and limbs , cool temps.
Tig Far out! A visit from DNR pair of BE's over Mississippi
{Karen}Shucks! All that work and 'poof' your post 'gone' ! Happened to me last week. Feel
for you. :(
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.

Tomorrow in single digits with gusty winds. Back in the 50's a couple days later Wow what a February.
KAREN Bummer. It takes me 30 min at least to do a post so appreciate the frustration.
PHYL Aryana's nest is so puffy and comfy. Cool 365 today
EAGLES How cool you are only 30 min from Monterey. Back in the early 70's I met a friend in San Diego and we drove the coast up to San Francisco - she had a cousin there. I loved the Monterey peninsula - We sat and had a drink at Pebble Beach LOL
TIG Nice sighting :)
OLDGUY Interesting how Claire is caring for this 18yr old Siamese.
CLYNN A bright springy morning today :) YAY for Decorah north. They thought she was in the ready when I read yesterday

Captiva Island home of Connie & Clive with little ones Lusa & Cal. Lusa has passed away... exact reason unknown as of now.
Rest in Peace sweet Lusa :'( She fought hard sweet girl. :-\ Fly high and free little one. There is a live chat right now to talk about this if you need or have any questions... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xijBKVzy3jc

Good Morning, down in the 60s which is more typical here but probably seems like a heat wave to most! I have an oak tree with dead leaves, bout ready to fall and the rest of the stuff leafing out or ready to do so! Azaleas are ready to bloom! Weird weather. I feel sorry for the polar bears who are losing their ice! Not good for that species!
Interesting cereal choices you all have! I have oatmeal and muesli in the pantry but I do not eat it much. Not a cereal lover! I know it is not doing me any good in the pantry!
Switched from Mediacom cable to DIRECTV a few years ago. Like Clynn, I found it annoying to lose tge connection during rain! I find it is happening less now! Price on most services goes up every year and to get lower costs you have to keep switching! Same thing with health insurance!
Found out, yesterday, that two friends died while I was lounging around in the home! Both younger than me. The first one a work friend, about 7 years younger! Had no idea she was ill! The other, from college! One or two yeats younger! Spoke to her husband who I was friends with first and she got lung cancer and lasted less tgan a year! He is now planning for his 54th cruise , this one to Europe with a flight back to Dallas! Later the family is cruising the Great Lakes with a flight home from Ontario!
Camera is off line in Swfl. Eagle family fine! Glad to read the Norths are good and cheers for their first egg! Decorah is a little hard ti follow this year! I peak into the thread and read Lisas comments! Lol, Thanks!
Clynn, you have had such a thorough medical checkup following your eye issue that I am sure your annual will be a breeze! Good luck to you however and to Kelsey! Btw, the kitties are darling! Are you saying that you think Sophie is a mix between a Tortie and a siamese?
Eagles, I have visited many parts of your beautiful state! Lovely. I wish our climate issues would be kinder to it!
Sorry about Captiva, Lori, hope the can retrieve and take to Crow!
Happy Birthday Bella!
Tsk, stay warm tomorrow!

baz - I hope you headache is gone, and you are feeling better.
tsk - How cool on the coyote sighting, but kinda scary too in your subdivision. We are windy today too, but not in single digits.
kb - It's good that Chris gets out and drives, keeps him in practice. :)
Phyl - Hummers, so cute. I miss Autumn too, and all the colors. Thanks for the 365.
tig - Didn't watch her, but she is all over the internet this morning! Cool on the DNR BE pair sighting!
E4E - I see you said you all went out the day before to beat the crowds. We are doing the same, but this weekend. :)
karen - Sorry about your long post getting lost, but I see you got it all done this morning. :D
oldguy - Thanks for the videos.
Lani - LOL, single and "Keeping Company" Albies. I love the Raisin Bran Crunch, so good.
clynn - Good luck to you and Kelsey with doc appointments this morning. Congrats to the Norths, hoping for a successful season. Fatty Patty ;D
Lori - So sad about Lusa!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY "6th" to BELLA!

{{{Clynn and Kelsey}}} Beautiful Spring morning pics! I'm not ready for spring, I still want more winter. LOL! I guess I'm a winter girl and not ready to tackle firewising yet. ;D... Best wishes for you both for good results from your doctor visit today! And many many {{{Happy birthday wishes for Miss Bella!}}} :-* ... Does the school allow the children to bring cupcakes for her classmates on their birthday? I remember saying you were considering getting ACORN.... awww first egg for Mrs North! :-*
Phyl, love today's nature video!
Tsk, this morning our temp was 28 it'll be 61 later today. I don't want spring to come yet, that'll make hot summer months much too long for me.
Lori, so sad about Lusa :'( I hope they will find the cause of her passing ... my condolences for the Captiva Island family.
{{{Karen}}} very sorry for the passing your two longtime friends. :-*
Lisa, you and Jeff enjoy the weekend. Mike and I will head down to the valley around 8am tomorrow to do a few quick errands and then head back home for the KU basketball game. ;D
Hi Puff, Eagles, Tig, Kb, Oldguy, Baz, BL have a great day!

LORI Captiva: Don't know that we've seen an older eagle pass away. Chat not opened yet on this topic. What a beautiful card you put together for Bella!! You are so good with creating things to post. :) :-*
KAREN Agree with health insurance. You get reeled in with a nice low premium and within two - three years, it's time to switch again. I get tired of doing that. What a shame about your two friends. They were with you at the NH?
LANI LOLOL on AM dog, chillin'

My morning routine: Always start with a banana! Original All Wheat spoon-sized Shredded Wheat, Quaker Simply Granola (oats, honey, raisins, almonds), Original Cheerios, and Quaker oatmeal. Mostly finish with a Yoplait. Now and then substitute might be eggs with bacon on the side, bagel or brioche, pancakes. This week's treat, with the banana I've been pigging out on a paczki a day. And, of course some teas.

Lani - Cute lil groovy pup this morning. Have fun in the valley. Tomorrow is shopping day for us, too.
Lori - Love the 6 collage for Bella, cute!
karen - Sorry to hear about your two friends.
Puff - I finally saw the paczki in my grocery store, last week. I was good and refrained from buying them. Was tempted, tho!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY, BELLA!!! :D I hope you're having a really, really fun day!! Hugs!! :D

LisaG it looks like Bradley, Kelly and Sydney are going to have some more snow fun tomorrow. ;D

Happy TGIF Day, Beakers! :D
I'm dragging, but I walked 18 minutes today. It's something. I also walked through 3 really big grocery stores today, and I did my early in person voting in my county's primary election. So I did get in plenty of steps, all in all. I am better, but I'm going to break down and take some NSAID now for my headache and body aches, and I'm hoping to get in some decent sleep tonight. :)
E4E, I meant to say Monterey, LOL. Got "tongue-tied" with those two coastal "M" towns in California. LOL!
Lani, thanks. :-* Hope you and Mike have a good outing tomorrow. Good luck to your team. Mine plays 2pm my time... hope they have a good game!
Clynn, thanks. Sam has the darker points, so hope I can remember that in the future. They're so cute. I don't know anything about the different kinds of Siamese cats. I hope you and Kelsey had good doctor visits! :)
TSK, it would be fun to catch up with the girls again soon! :) I say go for the next puzzle! ;) :D
Tig, I don't have Peacock, so I couldn't see it happen live, But I've been following Caitlin Clark's accomplishments on the court, and knew she would get that "Most All Time" record in the game last night... and some other records, too. I saw it in replay on the sports news.
Lisa, thanks.
Lori, I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Lusa at Captiva. :'( Very sad... Fly high, sweet baby eaglet Lusa. :-*
Oldguy, I hope your cards this Saturday will be as stellar as they were last weekend! :D
Karen, I'm sorry your post for last night went "POOF!" Ugh. I'm also sorry you recently got the sad news of losing two of your friends while you were in The Home. Hugs. :-*
Take care, All. Good night. Peace. SED.

Lori, beautiful collage of pictures of Bella!
Tsk tge youngest of the gals worked at RC in Idaho! She was hired by my ex husband! Lol. We served on several committees and she visited me in Alabama and on the phone!
The other friend I met in College! She pledged the Sorority I was in and I introduced her to her husband! I dated her Brother in law. Attended her daughter’s wedding and always felt close to the families!
Several of my high school friends have died during the past few years but I always knew tgey were ill! Not the shock I had of googling for a phone number and finding an obituary and a notice of a probate case! Sad when you have not been able to give someone a hug and say goodby. They say. Age has its privileges but it also has a few tears!
Finished a dinner salad and Piper and I had some Ice cream! Yummy!
Seds
Lol Baz! Feel better! I visited Att todau and walked Publix!
-
Beakers, I looked out the window after I posted this morning and it was all WHITE! In some spots it was about 2" and higher in other places! So I asked Ed to take us to our Dr appointment! It has snowed every time I have had a dr appt, so this is no surprise! Everything went fine there, they are taking care of everything so I shouldn't have any further issues. By noon the roads were just wet, and now they are dry, but the ground is still covered. But it is warming up again so it will all be gone tomorrow probably.
Thank you Phyl, E4E, Lisa, Lani, tsk, karen, oldguy, baz and Lori for the birthday wishes for Bella! She wanted to go to Cracker Barrel last night, so that is where we went! Then we came back here so she could open her presents. They all left for Chicago this afternoon, going to a car show this weekend. Bella's other birthday party was earlier, since they were going to be gone. Here are some pics! That is a Squishmallow cake and also cookies! The pink thing is a Big Girl jewelry box we got her, she loved it! Plus plenty of clothes and a big Squishmallow!

Lori, what a sweet birthday card you made for Bells, love all the memory pics, I can't believe she is 6! Hope you and Destini are doing well, wich we could see you in the Beak more often... :)
Lani, that dog cracked me up, he looks like a real dude! I haven't gotten Acorn yet, I have to get some things done around here first! When our DISH was out last month I watched several Midsomer Murders on youtube on my laptop and that was all she wrote! I was binging... You and Mike have a safe trip on that Beeline!
Good Night Beakers! See you in the morning!

PUFF Lots of breakfast variety for you. ;D I eat peanut butter on toast at least 2-3 times a week ;D
BAZI Do you use a pedometer of any kind? I bet you did 10,000 steps today. Get a good night's sleep. :-* I just notice that Sam has a really brown muzzle and Sophie is much whiter all over. Took down my puzzle table after I finished the last puzzle for this winter.
Now will do more reading and crocheting which has taken a bit of vacation. Did get a group text going and we have a girls date for Mar 18th YAY Barb in Fl will miss that one. ROTFL " put my chocolate in my bed" That is perfect. Out of the mouth of babes. Did she? LOLOL
KAREN Think you definitely feel the loss of someone you knew from years ago and kept up with than to hear that a classmate passed. We are definitely sending a lot more condolence cards :-\ ??? Were you alone at Publix or did helper come too. Either way the walk was amazing. I've been in a Publix...big
CLYNN That's the kind of snow event I like. Great pics of the bday. Who did that amazing cake and cookies. Small correction: Erin and Sidney are not just coming to Chicago for an auto show. They are coming for THE auto show. Biggest in the country. You'd easily put on 10,000 steps there. Are they looking for a new car?
-
[thanks Tsk. i forgot to mention Lanis Dog ! Was the first thing I meant to mention? Absolutely hysterical! Lane If you can put him on a plane I will pick him up in Valdosta and bring him home ! What a charmer!
Super party pictures, Clynn.

CLynn thanks for the update on Decorah North --Congrats to Mr & Mrs on first egglet!
Eagles cute Disney BD card for Bella
Lori such sad news from Captiva Island nest, RIP Lusa hoping Lusa can be retrieved and CROW can fine the cause :'( ; delicious cake for Bella/cute collage
{{Karen}} Sorry to hear about passing of your two friends , always difficult when we loose folks younger than ourselves. The cost of any sort of insurance is
exorbitant nowadays even in Tenn. How was Publix? This is Italian week at our stores.
Lisa nice cuppa Joe this AM ;)
Lani cute BD card for Bella and LOL your pup this AM looks a real 'cool' dude
CLynn glad you got a good report at doc's; good Ed drove you/Kelsey thru the 'white stuff'. Wonderful snaps of Bella's party, all looks yummy. :)
Great snaps of everything/everyone. Thanks ; LOL Night Mode Squishmallow.
Tsk PB on toast ;) Smucker's Organic crunchy peanut butter on Hint of Salt Triscut is my daily snack; cute kitten puzzle you finished. Yes Publix is huge and a good walk

Lori, What an adorable and perfect birthday card for Bella! My how she has grown :-* ... prayers for your grandmothers.
{{{Hugs Baz and Zippo}}} sending prayers for healing, comfort and a good night's sleep.... :-* I think Jayhawks follow your team. We should be back before 2pm for Mike to sit down with a bowl of Popcorn and watch BB.... I've read wonderful articles about the miracles of chocolate, and I'm so excited to know it will protect me while I sleep! You have one smart great nephew! B ;D ;D ;D
{{{Hugs Karen}}} We've been sending a lot of condolences cards this past year. I'm sorry you dealing with it too :-* ... the dog's name is Samson. ;D
Clynn, Glad everything went well at the doctors and the snow won't last forever... Love the Squishmallow cake and cookies! YUM!!! Great photos of sweet Miss Bella, Erin and Ed.... cute pic of S&S, squishmallow pillow ;D
Tsk, cute puzzle!

Phyl, very interesting story of the Acoustic Kitty, the Spy cat. I think any cat person could have told him it wouldn't work, LOLOL! Cats do what they want, when they want. Temp is 6 right now, high 37 today with abundant sunshine and a bit windy. Temps going up, up up. I see come 60's in the 10 day! What a unique treehouse!
Lani, you and Mike have a safe trip to the Valley this morning! I will be rooting to the Jayhawks for him! Another adorable Dude, at the Spa!
tsk, how right you are! I looked up THE Car Show, WOW! Erin has always been smitten with cars! So the puzzle season is over? It will soon be Spring, what is on your list for March?

Well Winter Storm Miquel was definitely an over achiever in a narrow swath across east-central PA and central NJ. :o
We got maybe 2-3" here in north NJ which is what was forecast.
These very early preliminary snowfall amounts caught many communities off guard this AM I'm sure.
Some of these total snowfall amounts will rise even further later today I assume.
Some of these snow amounts are well above what was forecast even late last night, double in some places. ::)
The whole system trended further north at the last minute and the temps fell faster than predicted.
Alberta Clippers are known to be like this however.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
PHYL Do love that tree house. Don't know which cable channel it is but there is a show where they build tree houses $$$$$ Acoustic Kitty - What were they thinking???
LANI SAMSON ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D What an obedient dog to get dressed up like that
CLYNN Cat peeking into mouse house ;D March is the transitional month LOL Up for grabs. Our shawl ministry is pretty low on inventory - wish we had more contributors . We have a meeting on the 26th ( none since Nov due to holiday and ice storm) so hope
we get a few more turned in. So I will be doing more crochet.
BL That's a big storm :o

baz - Baby Bro ;D
clynn - Glad to hear that everything went fine at your doctor appointment. Looks like Bella had a great birthday. Love the cake and cookies.

Monkey and bird are best buds!
Morning all...
Took yesterday off with heat and ice to my neck all day long....worked wonders.
Neck was sore from heavy shoveling. Normal today.
-
Me too KB. It was weird. I felt pretty good when I got up but as I exercised in the pool I started to really feel all those shoveling muscles...
Morning all

Me too KB. It was weird. I felt pretty good when I got up but as I exercised in the pool I started to really feel all those shoveling muscles...
Morning all
It was weird!...am thinking primarily we haven't used those muscles most of this season!. And then, at least
here, it was 7 inches. I typically hold back and call Andrew to plow if over 4, but since hadn't done it most of the year and I did mine in 2 plus different sessions I thought I was okay. The tricky part I think was all that thick ice under the snow caught us by surprise throwing/heaving it.
-
Yep. Did I mention? I jammed my arthritic thumb into the handle when I made a mighty shove and hit a high spot. Quick stop. Almost said a bad word. Note to self... surprises hide under deep snow. Had a brief nose bleed when I got vertical this a.m. Time to input liquids, I guess.
-
My weather no-no was backabout 3 weeks? I'm OK . HotRod isn't. Backed out carefully down driveway, always being careful because of the brick decoration offset at the street. Mostly being careful because of the trucks of the workers doing a LOT of extension/renovation of the home across the street. Was a bit difficult making my exit because of that and the mound of snow at the end of the drive, on the street, pushed against the brick. Yep, you're ahead of me, I didn't quite clear the snow. No, I didn't hit the bricks. Problem was that the pile of snow wasn't snow; it was about 1 foot of a chunk of ice. I'll be getting an estimate to repair, maybe replace, the spoiler at the front. I'm sure I was a bit disturbed by the daily obstacle of trucks. MY BAD Now, my bill.

Sorry about the problems with the snow but happy that there is moisture on the ground in the mid west!
Happy Caturday!
Tsk, hha went to the store with me! I do walk and push the cart Kind of acts like a walker. No plans for the weekend as the trip to the dentist Brought on a raging case of vertigo! Cant wait untilMonday so I can call the ent. Hope I can get in soon!
Later

LISA Cute AM kitties :) and their birdie friend
KB That is such a sweet video of parrot and chimp Awwww :-* LOLOL I use the snow blower at less than 4" :o :o
TIG I never remember where those uneven parts of concrete are ::)
PUFF Funny you should mention that. Was it about 3-4 yrs ago we had a terrible winter of snow and banks were so high at the end of the driveway. Tim came home and made the turn into the drive and slid right into the snow bank and it wasn't snow by that time - Major dent in the side of his car. My heart goes out to you.
KAREN wish you could get a good PT familiar with BPV and give you those exercises for it. Barb's hubby Tom only needed 2 sessions and became right as rain...
Turkey breast crocking away...

Yikes Puff on the Hot Rod spoiler and the Ice Berm.
What year is your ride again ? ... it's a Dodge Challenger or Charger as I recall ?
Those Ice Berms almost always win out over the front end spoilers - plastic junk they use now. :o ::)
Are everyday vehicle is now a Honda CRV with 8" clearance. Still a lot of plastic garbage just above those 8". :(
Before we got the CRV we had 2 of Pips parents inherited low slung cars for the previous three Winters.
Pip and I where not use to driving those low slung cars at all having driven mostly trucks and suvs for almost all of our years of driving.
Needless to say there was a lot of "Nose plastic" removed or re-attached on those 2 cars. ::)
By the time we got rid of the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant (250,000 miles) and the 2002 Lexus (180,000) the underside of the front ends were held together by bubblegum, bailing wire, 100 mph duct tape and finally 2 car Bra's. ;) ;D
-
kb - Cute video of monkey and parrot.
tig - How is the thumb?
Puff - Sorry to hear about your mishap with the HotRod!
karen - Oh no, hope you can get in soon to the ENT!
tsk - Thank you. :) Yikes, on Tim's mishap with his car. Turkey breast in crock pot sounds good. I have never done one that way. Does the skin brown like it does in oven?
-
Hmm, Chris' friend came over today and spent some time. He drove up in a new Suburu SUV...impressive looking..we spoke about it for awhile but most impressive I "heard" was it's ability to drive in snow/ice. Smaller than my Jeep.
I'll keep hanging on as long as I can with my Jeep Grand Cherokee (2000) thank you with only 65,000 miles on it. I know I know I don't have the latest screen/music technology, but push come to shove they can retrofit it with that...music ya know!
As he said, at least i don't have to worry about new computer technology going on "the blink"
-
Puff when we want to go play in the big boy and girl snow of the Northeast we still take the "Beast from the East".
Our Family's 1972 Chevy Blazer. ;D
Back story on the 1972 Blazer:
This old gal has even got a CD player in her now however it does skip a lot. LOL.
The A.C. works great too just open up the wing windows .. what the heck are those .. bugs in your teeth fresh air.
Heat & Defrost. With the V8 it's really not a problem.
Dry your pair of Levi jeans from a cold stream dunk before the boys can get chilly.
She's only had about 5 re-built transmissions, transfer cases and rear ends that I know of.
The wheel wells have been re-fabricated, welded & sealed with oil fittings.
No more rust there ever.
The factory original 350 V8 engine is still ticking like a Timex and I do mean ticking. :)
That engine has been meticulously maintained from day one when Mom & Dad bought it new in 1972.
Change the Oil, Change the Oil, Change the Oil .. Dad always said.
And the 3 of us have as the 72' was passed down to each of us.
Pip and I are the 'youngest' and last titled owners of her.
All 3 of us siblings beat the snot out of this hand me down poor old Chevy gal all over the United States _ Beak, Jumbo & BrokenLug.
Mom & Dad have passed as has our middle Brother Jumbo the true 72 music maniac mechanic.
We'll keep these 4 wheels rolling down the highway until we all meet up again.
She's crossed the country from coast to coast at least 12 times that we know of.
If there is a lower 48 National Park park that her license plate hasn't seen one time or another I'd be shocked.
Legend has it that one pair of Good Year 4x4 tires dipped their treads into the Atlantic & Pacific oceans 4 times in the same calendar year. Unconfirmed by me.
I double checked the original factory odometer the other day 900,325 miles.
Round trip to the Moon and back = 477,800 miles.
If we get enough snow Pip & I might just let the snow dust her off as she sure does like the soft marshmallow snow on her old bones after all. ;D
-
kb You have got that right.
Drive that Jeep Grand Cherokee (2000) with only 65,000 miles on it until it no longer makes financial mechanical sense to do so. :-*
-
kb You have got that right.
Drive that Jeep Grand Cherokee (2000) with only 65,000 miles on it until it no longer makes financial mechanical sense to do so. :-*
:-*Absolutely!
My only concern and it's only cause I plan for worst case scenario: Is if someone ran into her and totaled her my insurance co. would only cover blue book for an old vehicle....she's irreplaceable.
-
Tsk, wish I knew the exercises too. Need two visits to the ent to fix the issue but in addition to the head, neck manipulations they use a vibrator thing on my head. After one or two. TreTmrnts I am good? Tho k the dentist and some neck exercises did me in?
-
My beater is an '09 Challenger BL. Spoiled as all get out. Because of where I had to drive into (Chicago) when teaching I went through three cars before him/HR. Each of those guys I would drive a hundred miles a day until about 100,000 and then start shopping. Couldn't chance breaking down in case of. . .well you know big city! And that's when the city was safe. Retired 1994, now work out of home. My HR is almost ready to turn 48,000. Yep! That's all. Now it's spoiled but good. He even has a heated garage.
BTW my '71 was a Charger. Sold it to my brother with 150,000; he took it to 260,000. First car, 1966 Plymouth BeepBeep, 71 Charger, 75 was the pig Buick Electra Ton talked me into, 78 Monte Carlo, 87 garbage version of MC, then Challenger.
Thirteen/fourteen years old now. We have a contest going - who's going to last longer, him or me. 8) ;D

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS! :D
I slept 8 glorious hours last night. Woot! :D I walked 18 minutes this afternoon, and was glad to do it. :)
Karen, I'm sorry about your vertigo. Ugh! I hope you can get it fixed soon! But congrats on walking yourself through the grocery store with a cart! I'm glad your HHA also can go with you to help with tasks and errands.
Clynn, oh wow! I love all the pics from Bella's birthday fun! She is really maturing. So pretty. What a great cake and cookies - Squishmallow theme, and gift! So cute!! :) :-* :-* I'm glad you and Kelsey had good doc appts. I don't know what you mean by "they are taking care of everything," but it sounds like a good thing, so I'm glad for that! Hugs!
Lisa, did you get more fresh snow last night/this morning?
TSK, yum on the crock pot turkey breast! Love that cat jigsaw puzzle you posted! It sounds like you're moving on from jigsaw puzzles now to knitting and crocheting for a change. I hope you get some more shawl donations, too. :) I haven't used a pedometer in over 50 years. LOL! I have never counted steps - then, or now. Counting steps is fine for people who get motivated by that... whatever helps someone toward healthier choices is a good thing. I'm more about intervals of time and intensity, than steps. The most recent studies I have been made aware of are showing that intervals of walking/moving based on duration and intensity is more important than the number of steps. My grocery walking yesterday wasn't worth much in intensity, LOL, and the number of steps didn't make much difference to me, but it definitely counts in terms of being up and moving, versus sitting - with that more recent study emphasizing not sitting as long as 2 or more hours at a time... and also talks about long-term standing not being good either. I had a job once, when I was in college, that required hours of standing with very little walking, and it beat my body up - when I was a healthy 19-year old! So I can relate to their mention of avoiding lengthy standing times. Teachers have to deal with the sitting/long standing times issue - and bear the brunt of that over time, for sure.
Lani, thank you. I feel better today for sure! Getting a very good night of sleep made a big difference! I also apparently have the beginnings of a uti, ugh, so that doesn't help, but my joints are better today! Yay! My Tarheels played better today - and got a win. Your KU Jayhawks are on my TV now - they finally pulled into the lead - good timing, for sure! They're up by 7 points now with about 5 minutes left. Definitely a better 2nd half for them today!
E4E, I hope you get good rain, and not too much!
Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Puff I'm putting good money on you. :)
Any School Teacher that can wheel a 75' Electra in and out of the windy city.
It sucked gas but had gravitas. ;)
We use to take the tank into NYC back in the day just to mess with the cabbies.
Got hold of one with a 1/4 keg in the trunk and the umbilical cord snaked through the rear deck between the speakers.
What could possibly go wrong.
I've absolutely got cheeks over here.
Sideways on a highway one stormy winter day.
The maple tree decided to just jump out and passenger halve my conveyance.
I think to this day my right knee aches because of this very hard tree assaulting my vehicle.
The Maple tree on that County Road I was traveling on at the time struck my vehicle.

BL Funny description of your rides!!! ;) ;) Great story about your much loved hand me down '72 Blazer ;D
LISA It was a Purdue and did not have skin on it...I seasoned it with a recipe rather than use the "gravy" that came with it
KB Hang on to your Jeep as long as you can. They just don't make cars like they used to. Did Chris's friend have the Forester or Outback? What a miracle for that little foal. Such a good video - thanks
KAREN I answered your e-mail with two links I thought were good. Your HHA or housekeeper should help you tho. Am not familiar with a "vibrator thing" that corrected the problem.
EAGLES A purrito kitty ;D Yes we did the 17 mile drive as well. Great scenery. ;D
BAZI You are spot on with what you said. I do not try and do any amount of steps /day but know many people that do using smart watches, fitbits or their phone app.. Ortho told Tim once is " all I want you to do is 30 min of walking every single day with no stopping. Don't care if it is fast or slow, just do it" Just being mobile throughout the day is so important to keep those ole joints lubed up LOL I'm familiar with the bursts of intensity in a routine. When I'm on the treadmill I will do so maybe 3 minutes at one speed and then hike it up a few notches at a faster speed for a minute and then back down to the slower speed. There are a variety of ways you can do this. In the summer - just a regular walk is fine with me LOL
-
tsk - I think the Forester as he has a tiny one car garage?....I'll ask Chris tomorrow to clarify. He's asleep now.
-
don't U make me simmer down now

Good night Beakers!
Baz, YAY Tarheels and Jayhawks! ;D
I hope you've had a great day! It's been a long day for us.
We're both feeling like we're coming down with a cold.
Heading to bed and I'll catch up with all the Beak news tomorrow.

Lani, hope you and Mike are feeling better this morning!
Phyl, love Bob with his scarf! 26 here, high 42 with sunshine! Good 365, lots of frogs! And they were so quiet! Yhanks for Amy's Blog, hope we get Egg #2 today!
tsk, I appreciate your little hints on physical activity! When I was working a friend and I went on walks in the building everyday. It was easy to get 10,000 steps in. walking on flat carpeted surfaces!
BL, my second car back in the early 70s was a 64 Chevy Impala, RED inside and out. I kept a case of oil in the trunk. When I pulled up to get gas at the service station we always said 'fill the oil and check the gas'. Gas was 23.9 cents a gallon. Sounds like the Tank had quite a history!
baz, about the doctor, I meant that she has me taking Atorvastatin, a low dose aspirin, and Ozympic. All to prevent any calcium bits from causing a stroke.
E4E, sweet kitty in the clam shell bed! Sam and Sophie find some interesting places to sleep...sometimes I can't find them! But all I have to do is clang the food dishes and they come running!
Erin and family at the car show!

Lisa, this bridge picture popped up in FB, what do you think? :o At least on your bridge you have water beneath!
The Aizhai Bridge is a suspension bridge on the G65 Baotou–Maoming Expressway near Jishou, Hunan, China.

Kathy Hurley Martin
November 18, 2023
·
Just came across this and thought it was perfectly said!!!
They call us ”The Elderly”
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as “exennials”; people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of “Seen-It-All”!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE”.
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
-Author unknown
Keep on keeping on!
My sister re-posted this and I love it!
Whenever young people in my city constantly respond to adults concerned about over and ugly development destroying structurally sound homes they say: "Old people are just afraid of change"
I'm now going to post above!....LOL....they know not how much we've been capable of change. They just use that "expression afraid of change" cause they want more ugly apartments, more bike lanes etc.

Where was T40 yesterday?
LANI Hope just getting a good night's sleep has you both feeling better today :-*
PHYL Cheery AM pic :) No cranberries but I should have thought of that... Cute 365 :)
CLYNN Clever idea for the tree stump! Are all those new meds for you? Cute pic of Erin and family :) No thank you on that bridge in China
KB I've seen that testimonial of our generation before and love it as well.

Good Morning Beakers....Happy Sunday!

tsk - I do not remember seeing T40 here yesterday. Thanks for the info on turkey.
kb - Love that!
clynn - Love the tree stump planter! OMG, that is scary! I am sure that made the Top 10 list of scariest bridges. ;D
Phyl - Thanks for 365 and RRP post. Cute morning pic.
Lani - I hope you and Mike are feeling a lil better today.

baz - We had wet fluffy snow yesterday morning, and by noon it was gone. It was very windy all day, tho.
-
No bounce
Would appreciate prayers for the families of 2 police officers and 1 paramedic shot and killed this morning in a Twin Cities suburb. Preliminary reports say the officers were killed while responding to a domestic and the paramedic was killed while trying to save an officer. >:( :'( :'(
There may be at least one other officer shot also. The scene is still active. Prayers for the family of the shooter also.
UPDATE... just learned the 3rd officer has also died. >:(

thanks for this info, tig...this must have just posted and encrypted as I didn't hear read anything in all the crime pages I read this morning.
I'm so absolutely sick of this...and a very nice suburb of Minneapolis not far from the Minnesota Zoo.
Heading out for a walk....later.
-
Awaiting press conference and confirmation of the 3rd officer death... Fingers crossed it was incorrect info from one news outlet.
-
Tig, i have always heard that police hate responding to domestic violence calls! Among the most dangerous! Wonder how the victim ofthe initial violence is!
Tsk, the vibrator is an addition to the usual treatment! Added recently! How was the turkey? Never thought about cooking on in a slow cooker!
Clynn, love the picture of the family with the water and the Chicago skyline in the background! So pretty! Delightful tree stump sprouting Spring tulips! Have to look around and see it I have one! Do not think so as most were ground away!
The story about the elderly did not go back far enough for me and Clynn’s mother! Probably a few others on the Beak! Time marched on and change continues! Some great and others not so good!
My friends in Springfield are just recovering from a virus that is going around in Central Illinois! Very contagious, fevers, cold symptoms, body aches, abdominal upset. Coughing, not type a or b flu, not rsv and not covid.
Lasts 5 to 10 days. Hope Lani and Mike are not coming down with this nasty thing.

Phyl, Thank you for RRP update of DN dad seeing their new egglet for the first time.... "crowded pond" spring is coming in today's nature vid...
Clynn, Great pic of the Kids at the car show. Talon and Bella are becoming well-traveled munchkins! :-* .... we're feeling better today. Thanks.... goodness, there are people walking over that bridge too. :o .... what a great idea to planting spring bulbs in a tree stump! ;D
Kb, your post is so true. I don't know how many times Mike and I have said "how much change there has been in our life" to date. And at times my face reflects that Cheetah cub's look of astonishment! ;D ... angel and blue line :'( .... take care on your walk with Ollie today.
Tsk, yes, we both feel more rested today.
Lisa yes, we feel better... How's Miss Fischer's favorite fan doing today? ;D
Tig, Dear Lord, not again :'( ... prayers sent. :'(
Karen, yes, we feel better. I have a bit more energy today. Thanks... you take care too. :-*

A little tidy up around the webcam, thank you Sharyn, and skycall greetings for LGL. (Now, you can see both chicks, and they will see each other when parents are gone :-* )
Top Flat nest - LGL hears TF chick's little yaps and makes her way over to LGK. Time move LGK!
Top Flat Track nest ~ BOK swapped with WYL last night & both chicks have been fed this morning.

Gosh!
That's what I get for reading too fast !

It appears the one news outlet misspoke about the 3rd officer, at least at this time.
Recent post from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/18/us/burnsville-minnesota-officers-shooting/index.html
Just an FYI to amend earlier. I won't dwell on it here.
HAGD all
I will concentrate on the good news in our church family today and watch the sun on the birdies at our feeders and count our blessings, which include good friends here. Peace.
-
TIG That is just awful about the officers and paramedic. They woke up that morning and never gave it a thought they would never be home again. So tragic. In my prayers, of course. :'( :'(
KB Love that angel... :'(
KB Turkey good and will repeat tonight with different sides. Had enough to freeze for another meal down the road. So many of those strange unidentified viruses going around. Many involving coughing.
LANI I hope you never run out of these "pontifical" pets. Hysterical ;D ;D ;D So nice those chicks will have each other when parents are off nest...Good to hear you are both rested for today.
LISA Speaking of Miss Fisher is any one watching the Modern Miss Fisher on PBS Sunday nights? ( here anyway)
-
2 officers killed and 1 paramedic killed.....several more officers are at Level 1 Trauma Centers.
Suspect killed himself.
Let's hope and pray they recover.
Ollie and I attempted our walk but returned home after just a few blocks. I was wearing tennis shoes but shocked how much ice there was on the road down our first hill turn.
Walked back past my house to check out another block: Nope too much ice, even with yaktrax on.
Will wait for more melting tomorrow hopefully.
-
Tig / KB thank you for sharing as I've not had the news on yet today.
Tragic about the two officers and paramedic.
And, thanks for the update on 3rd officer ---praying he/she with the
others injured recover.
One can bet that 'thin blue line'
American flag will fly high and long.
There's a lot I could say---suffice to say this grieves me deeply.
Of course, will add to personal prayer lists.
Grieving angel-indeed

T-40 ?
Tsk No. Not watching Modern Miss Fisher on PBS Sunday nights. I'm waiting for April PBS show---'Mr. Bates vs the Post Office' premiering 4/6/24.
CLynn luv the tulips this AM; Jim takes Atorvastatin and a host of 'other stuff' mostly for his heart; Erin, Sydney and Munchkins look so happy-always. ;) Tks for sharing
KB great poem and luv the snow leopard close-up from trail cam; one thing in life ---change is a certain; tks for the 'Twin Cities' suburb shooting update
Lisa/Tsk I missed /wondering about T40 yesterday, too. Hope all is well there.
Karen how ya doing today? Of have I missed a post?
Lani thanks for Royal Albie update and snaps---tks for Twitter short. My... do they still make that style of lawn clippers :o
-
Um. Sorry to be off topic folks. For those that don't know... my Bro was St. Paul PD for decades, my Dad was a security guard and I was a security officer with the State Patrol at our state capitol and I stood honor for a local officer years ago.
Sigh.
Thank you for understanding

KB Fox News broke into sched this morning just as things were happening. Seems to me it must be 10 - 15 minutes from you? Bless all personnel that came to the call. Bless too the impacted families. So Sad

Tig & Kb and All - Just read about the terrible tragedy in MN. :'( :'( Definitely my thoughts & prayers are with them and their families. :'( :'( :'(

15 minutes by highway, yes.

tig - Prayers for all involved.
kb - Enjoy your walk.
karen - That same virus was going around Mobile, when I was there for Mama's surgery. My niece had it, and she wanted to come see me. I was like..FaceTime me! ;D
Lani - Glad to hear that you all are feeling better. Mama is doing good. Thanks for the Royal updates! Pope Kitty ;D
tsk - Mama did watch Modern Miss Fisher, but nothing compares to the real Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, she says. Have you ever seen Hotel Portofino on PBS? That is a good one too, that Mama and I binge watched.

Pretty good rain at SEFL nest! Baby E23 tried to get under F33, earlier! So funny to see! I’m
Fine, just dizzy!

Lisa, my Mom has 2 PBS stations where she is and they both air a lot of British shows. She is hooked on Call the Midwife, Doc Martin (the Dr. that faints at the site of blood), Midsomer Murders and All Creatures Great and Small. I haven't heard of Portofino! Have you heard of Pie in the Sky? It's a British detective show, we binge watched it when we were at Cathy's last year, on Acorn.
Prayers for the families of the fallen policemen and paramedic. So senseless. Domestic violence calls are dangerous... probably more so than robberies or muggings.
tsk, thank you for the phrase 'pontifical pets'! I kept rummaging around in my head trying to figure out what to call them! Lani has found the Motherload! Yay!
Lani, thank you for the Albie update, they give us such good information and videos! Love those big birds!
tsk, yes, first time for these prescriptions. The kids are on their way home from THE Car show!

clynn - I believe Mama has seen Call the Midwife and Midsomer Murders. I will have to ask her about the others. Hotel Portofino is really good! It takes place in Italy. Talon looks like he is loving that car. ;D I just saw all the meds you were taking. Are those for the helping keep the other eye good? Thanks for the DN and SWFL pic.
karen - I hope you start to feel better, being dizzy is no fun.
Have a good night, everyone!

Howdy Beakers! :)
Prayers for the fallen and injured and their loved ones in the Twin Cities today. Domestic violence calls are considered among the most dangerous kind. Remember that the rich, the poor, the young, the old, the professionals, the street people, all races, colors, genders, religions, and nationalities have been victims of, or perpetrators of, domestic violence. It knows no neighborhood type.
Clynn, the E&S family trip pics are all wonderful - they are all having a great time!! :D Congrats to The Norths on their egglet #2 today!! And love the pics from the SWFL nest! :-* :-* Glad your doc has you all set!! Oh, that bridge!! Whenever I see incredible constructs of engineering like that, I almost always have this thought, "That's incredible! I wonder how many people died building that." I wish I didn't think about that, but I do. ::)
TSK, your turkey meal sounded so yummy. You will have a lot of choices of meals with the leftovers, too. :)
Lisa, I figured you got some snow. I was wondering what my "greats" got at their house, but don't know. It was windy here, too. That cuppa tea in your morning post is calling me today! :)
E4E, I was watching the weather for near your part of CA on TV this morning. Is it raining a lot at your house? I hope this new system won't be as bad as the recent ones before, and hope no damage at your place either..
Karen, ugh on the dizzies. Hope you get in to your doc soon for a fix. Hugs. The little one at SWFL this year seems to be growing up faster than ever! Talons crossed for continuing good news there for the rest of this nesting season, and a great fledge! :-*
Lani, ugh on the colds, but glad you and Mike had a restful night, and hope you're all well soon! :-* Yay for our teams yesterday!! :D
My whole-body inflammatory flare-up has finally subsided. Yay!! :D WOOT! , eee-vennn. ;D But I will be on my doc's front step when they unlock the door in the morning - 'cause this UTI has gotta go! "I gotta go!" is the phrase of the weekend at my house... in every aspect. ;) ;) ;D 8)
Take care, All. (((Hugs))) :-*

PHYL Haven't seen notice yet for " Mr Bates.."
TIG Didn't know - or remember- that your bro was a cop or that your and Dad had security positions. Can see where you are deeply affected by this but it is disturbing to all human beings that this should happen.
LISA Didn't catch Hotel Portofino but will look for it on line. ;)
CLYNN They had a lot of test drive runs at the Auto show. Wonder if they took any of them. Lines were probably long! This was the first year Tesla was there... Hey. thanks for the new on the second Decorah north egg. Right on schedule!!
BAZI From what I understand you can get OTC Prydium at "Walgreens" now to tide you over til doc can see you ( takes away the urgency and burning) I sure was hoping to see flower cows today and it happened ;) ;)

Lisa We've been watching Doc Martin ever since i'ts been on PBS and have the entire DVD set. We love it---Martin Clunes is fabulous. I think your mom will
enjoy it. Doc Martin also dislikes dogs and cats---to germy. ::)
Tsk 'Mr.s Bates..." https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office/ (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office/) I was gonna forward my PBS news letter---but lost all my Contacts as Outlook keeps interfering and out of frustration I click to deny People folder access.' Poof"
Right now I don't know what to do. Nothing I've found online seems to help. Later I will restart and see if that helps if not I'll have to call Geek Squad. ' Ain't one thing---it's another.'
CLynn many thanks for update on North nest and SWFL .more great snaps of the car show. looks like the Munchkins have picked out their future car.
We've been watching Doc Martin & Midsomer from beginning the DVD sets are great.

Phyl, chilly 365, interesting how the ducks tuck in and just bob around in the water. Thanks for Amy's Blog, 2 precious eggs in the North nest! Mt. Rushmore, perfect for Presidents Day! Washington and Lincoln both attending!
Lani, I remember one time when we were at Becky's, we binge watched 6 episodes of Broadchurch. We just couldn't stop! Very peaceful good night pic...
Phyl, I agree, Doc Martin is very quirky but he kind of grows on you! I find his aversion to blood a great twist to the show, who ever heard of such a phobia for a doctor! Sorry to hear of your computer troubles, it almost makes one afraid to click on anything! I have one email I started getting, something about investments, and everytime I click on unsubscribe one of those dangerous page messages pops up. So I close it, can't stop it!
baz, hope you get what you need at the doctor's today and the UTI disappears fast! No fun! Thanks for the Flower Cows, those girls are beautiful!
Lisa, per the doctor, the meds prescribed are to keep plaque from forming in the arteries... which can lead to a stroke if any breaks loose and travels to a vital place.

The story of the unusual friendship between a female grey wolf and a male brown bear. They were spotted every night for 10 days straight, spending several hours together between 8pm to 4am. They would even share food together.
Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen observed them and took several photos of the unusual meetings. No-one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends.
Perhaps they were both alone and they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone.
Other fun pics in the thread of replies.
Morning all....
We both got up early, 4am, so Chris decided to upgrade our wifi connection to our 5G network so the camera streamed better....
What a job esp. as we had to find/use my very old Macbook as the camera is old, and work out of the cold garage where the camera usb connection is....BRRR. Took several hours.
Warming up and moving on....
Poor old female doggo across the street can barely walk anymore for the last 6 months or so. Owner walks her up the street and sad to watch her get stuck in the snow etc...Don't know how old she is but I've seen her for at least 12 years or more. :( :(
-
CLynn I have experience the same with email, virus /Pishing. I had to have Geek Squad out. What does Erin say? Did you do a virus scan? 'Doc Martin' is very well written and thought out. Yeah. The whole 'blood thing' ---who knew? Interesting snaps in your AM post---Crowley Lake in California and Nambia. Nature ;)
Tsk I know very little about computers and generally I'm too afraid to do much. Sometime today after I get caught up on '40-11' emails. I'll see if I
can find Windows 'System Restore' and do an earlier date .
KB wonderful photo of bear and shewolf. Nice story too. Your story about the old dog on your street--do they not care!? Don't they know about Cosequin for dogs? A person would be reluctant to say a word as some folks see it as meddling and get very angry.
-
Phyl - I know, some of my own thoughts as well. I vacillate between "cheering" the dog on and feeling sorry for it..
She lives in an apartment building that allows dogs. I therefore don't know her.
-
some bounce
KB/Phyl - there was an old dog being walked in our neighborhood a couple years ago. Young man seemed to care. But...
Yes, I lost a friend some years ago. I took care of her dogs; stayed at her home; over a weekend. When she got home I mentioned about her older dog having some severe symptoms and "don't you think it might be time?" She told me she could not do that to herself because it was Christmas. !!! Oh well...
Gotta get started on my defensive driving refresher course

Phyl, I have used cosequin for dogs in the past. It it has been available for a long time. My experience with it has not been veryhood. Not bad, just not as good as I expected. The secret is to start this before you know you needit! Dog, like many ofus has arthritis and might benefit from pain meds of some kind. I cannot judge the owner but many dogs have towalj a certain length of time in order to potty! With old fogs, habits continue thru age! Do not know if she could be pee pad. Trained at this stage. God bless tge owner and the dog!
Clynn, interesting pictures this morning! The bird house almost looks like a coo-coo clock in progress!
E 23 has been practicing survival skills this morning. Has been picking up amd putting down nestovers with his/her talon And eating the pieces . Picking some up with the beak! A little windy at the nest and feathers are fluffing up in the gusts!
Lost another friend in January! A dear next door neighbor in Alabama! Got an e mail from her daughter last night snd then we talked! She died from the after affects of covid!

Oh my Tig....so it was about her, not the dog...
Recall I had a very old dog, Walter, who lived to be 16 1/2....he was fine until about 16 he started getting "confused" for lack of a better word. Things like staring in a corner but physically he was average. I know I thought to myself at the time and I didn't know that about myself: I can't play God and take his life.
However, I was in weekly to monthly conversations with his then vet about this process. He told me to ask Walter to let me know when he (Water) was ready. I did and I trusted it. Not more than a few months later he slipped on ice and really injured his shoulder. Walter DID let me know it was time. So I relented to putting him to sleep in my arms at home.
It's tough but each dog is different and the relationship with it's owner I assume different as well.
I do feel bad she can't just let her older dog go out the back door into a fenced in back yard to do it's business.
Something to consider I guess when raising a dog in an apartment. I know Walter was my incentive to leave my so called luxury townhome at the time and buy a home. Which I did...Didn't seem right to have one that big in an apartment. The lady across the street owns a dog about the same size as my Walter. :(
-
KB I went back to add to my earlier post just above .And when I posted the change. That's when your post popped up. You're right, about not knowing the person.
{Hi Tig} I know some can't seem to say 'Good-Bye' to sick pets. Great idea on defensive driving refresher course---I'm sure I could benefit
from that---LOL. Hope you get your bounce back soon.
Maggie Update: not that she was doing that bad before. But, the Hydra Care is great. She looks good and acts well. Putting on a couple of OZs

Clynn, I can't get the main character in Broadchurch, I'll try to watch again.... the Namibia pic is so unusual, desert meets water.... I think BL might have climbed the Columns of Crowley Lake.
Kb, I saw that story of the female grey wolf and a male brown bear last night, just amazing. ;D ... sad about neighbor's dog :(
Tig sometimes it's hard to make that rainbow bridge decision for a pet. My hiking buddy helped his dog with that final decision last Thursday.... 13 year old Dresden :'( ... Sadie and I will miss that big old Ridgeback boy.
{{{Hugs Karen}}} I'm sorry for your friend's passing. Glad you were able to visit with her daughter.... sad times for you. :'(

KB Cool story about the bear and wolf. Like the idea that they met somehow as youngsters.
PHYL That Lincoln link was blocked for me. So happy to hear the positive update on Maggie ;D
TIG " Defensive driving refresher course"? Needed to renew your driver's license? Too bad bout the friend's dog you cared for in her absence. :-\
KAREN What a shame, losing another friend. Good tho that you could talk with the dtr a bit and that she took the time to call you.

Clynn - Great pics of the kids at the car show! ;D Love all the BE pics! Amazing pic at Namibia and at the Mysterious columns!!
Baz - We got about 1/2" of rain yesterday/last night and today only about .10" We are doing fine where we live - of which we are grateful. Happy your inflammation flareup has subsided! :)
Phyl - Pat on the head for your Maggie and hope you & Jim are having a nice day - hope he is off work for President's day holiday! Yaaay for 2nd egg @ DNN!! :) Frustrating to deal with computer issues - hope you are able to get it figured out. {{Phyl}}
Lani - How is the weather over there? Are you still taking Sadie out for a walk early each morning? :)
Tsk - Pretty morning picture!
Tig - Defensive driving refresher course??!
Got to go now, but will check back in later as I still need to read and catch up here!

Tig, I know some insurance companies give a discount to customers who take driving courses! Hooe yours does.
Interesting about my old neighbor and dear friend, her family is having her funeral Mass and memorial service at streamed of the computer! They sent me the link. They are a warm and wonderful group of people.
Piper had a seizure early this afternoon. Vet said she doesnt meet the criteria for medications. She hadone a few months ago. Scary!
Cooking Red Beans and rice for dinner tonight and some shrimp! A salad? Not sure.

BL said some people here watch British TV shows..... I just watched "This is going to Hurt" and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it.
If anyone is into horror and doesn't mind subtitles, the S.Korean movie "The Wailing" was unbelievable. It's the type of movie that when you watch the ending, you want to re-watch it immediately, which I did.
I've run out of good American TV shows (oxymoron perhaps) so I'm now going to other countries. Any suggestions?

HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY, BEAKERS! :)
This has been a very busy day! And I am on my way to the kitchen for special treats, so this will be short, LOLOL!!
I walked 37 minutes today. Yay!
I was on my doc's doorstep when they unlocked the door this morning, as I planned. One person was in front of me, and four other people walked in over the next 5 minutes after I checked in. I didn't have an appt and was going on a prayer and a wish that I would be seen, and without waiting too terribly long. My wish came true! LOL. They called me back 10 minutes after I arrived and took my info right away, and the doc came in to see not 1 minute later. I gave them what they needed ;) and they gave me what I needed, and I was out of there less than a half hour after I walked in their door! Woot! I went to the pharmacy straight from the doc's office. It wasn't open yet, but they opened the door maybe 3 minutes after I got there. I had my medicine and was out the door 15 minutes later!!! It all went so swimmingly well, that I immediately went and bought a lottery ticket for tonight's Powerball drawing. ;D ;D ;D If you never hear from me after tonight, just know I am living the good life somewhere warm, luxurious, and by the sea. ;D 8)
Have a safe and good evening, All. Peace. SED.

PHYL That was an amazing story about Lincoln. I did not know most of that. That photo is eerie :o :o
KAREN I remember that first seizure..Smart vet. Wish mine had been as smart. I really don't think Lucy had to be on seizure meds most of her life just from 1 incident we described to vet.. New vet took her off and no problem for two years!!! Lots of funerals, weddings being streamed these days - Think it mostly started with Covid and continued.
BAZI You are so funny. The stars were definitely aligned for you today - a miracle in my estimation that the day went so smoothly!! Tim was put in a room at ortho and 45 min later went to find nurse to ask if he had wrong day as no one had come to see him yet. LOLOL Enjoy your big lottery win tonight - a good day to buy a ticket! Thanks for letting us know where you will be ;) ;) Those kids are so cute and really learning not to fear water at this young age.

Eagles, the weather goes from 33 in the morning when Sadie and I head out the door at 6:45am to 62 by mid afternoon. The days have been lovely. We have clouds coming our way by the end of this week. Sadie and I never miss a day, rain, sleet or snow, we leave about 15 minutes before sunrise. ;D ... our friends who lost their big ole boy last week, use Chewy Pharmacy too. They called Chewy to cancel Dresden special diet food and return the new unopened box of food they just received. Chewy told them to donate the box of food and they reimbursed their account. Sent them cards and today they sent a dozen beautiful tulips.
{{{Karen and Piper}}} How nice they sent you a link to the service.. :) .. i'm sorry to hear Piper had another seizure. :( I hope you both get a good and restful night's sleep. So tomorrow will be a good day.
Mich-Pip, I love watching British shows. That's all I stream anymore.... Thank you for the series suggestion. How do you watch it? Amazon Prime? I don't mind subtitles at all, I use cc all the time. I have terrible hearing....
Baz, Glad you were able to get what you needed from the doc! The kids look wonderful, and what fun to enjoy the pool in the middle of winter! ;D ... Well, just in case we never hear from you again. Congratulations on your big win! It's been real nice knowing you! ;D Many best wishes and Safe travels for you and Zippo! 8)
BL, Great music, Thanks! SED to Pip too!
Good night!

CALLA LILY VALLEY, Garrapata Beach, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California, USA It is the most surreal spot along the Pacific Coast Highway, boasting thousands of lilies during the spring season. Just a 2-hour drive from San Francisco and 20 minutes south of Carmel-By-The-Sea, it's easily accessible. The best time to visit is from early January to the end of April, after the rainy season, making it a photographer's paradise, especially before sunset.
Despite being called lilies, Calla lilies are not true lilies, but a a flowering genus of twenty-eight species originating in Africa and growing mostly in marshy areas. They bloom in late spring, and the word "Calla" comes from the Greek term for beautiful. It's worth noting that Calla lily roots are poisonous, along with the entire plant.
Eagles4 - Have you seen this live? ....hmm, the Calla lilies, not the rooster, LOL

Good Morning Everyone.... !
Currently for Tuesday, Music City USA 34F cloudy High 64F mostly sunny, Low 34F clear
Lani your sloths at Toucan Ranch have had some difficult issues ;awesome mini galaxy
Tsk hope Tim is feeling better and his doc apt went well
Karen sad to read Piper had another seizure. Hoping the meds help her and give you some peace of mind. I had a straight-face Persian "Samantha' for over 11yrs who developed epilepsy at an early age. She took anti-seizure meds for years from on set. Then out of the 'blue' no more seizures/no more meds. ;)
Mich-Pip Thanks for the shows suggestion. British comedy is the very best followed by American comedy; French and Italian films are a nice change.
However, the British do everything better. ;)

awesome rooster; lovely lilies
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Twin Cities suburb- Minneapolis ; Lakewood Church community, Texas; All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere .

Phyl, 31 here now, high 57 today! Predicting 71 for Monday! Good 365, beautiful scenery and loved the heron taking a bath! I agree, Btitish comedy is great, my sisters and I all love the Monty Python movies too! The comedy in The Search for the Holy Grail, The Llife of Brian and The Meaning of Life are all hysterical! These days I oive the murder mysteries... Love the Lincoln article, and one thing I love about Springfield - Lincoln memorabilia everywhere! Ed's oldest sister is somewhat of a historian on Lincoln.
Lani, again, I would love to go on your morning walks with Sadie. Wishing comfort for your friend who lost her furry friend...I read on FB thar Jody had to let Amari go and I just had to post my condolences. Chewey is so easy to deal with, one time I ordered Harley's prescription food wrong, I ordered the regular instead of the moderate calorie and asked how to return it. They told me to donate it and sent me the correct food for free. And this food is over $100 a bag!
BL, oh the great music you posted! Okay, were you a Roadie earlier in life? Sounds like a good time was had by all, glad you got to meet up with an old friend!
baz, boy, you hit the jackpot of good luck at the doctor's office! Love the pics of the wet kids!
It's a Minnesota thing · Niagara Cave cave, in a cornfield, who would have never guessed that there were underground caves! Legend has it that it was discovered by farmers after the three little pigs got lost. Then it was developed into a tourist attraction. Located on the border of MN and IA, two hours from Twin Cities and one hour from Rochester.

TIG That course sounds grueling.
BL What fun to have an unexpected visit from a friend :)
LANI Tim has two trigger fingers he will have tended to..sigh. How special of Chewy to be so kind to your hiking friend.
PHYL That Calla lily field is spectacular. Never heard of the field before :o Nice close up of the rooster. Saw a kingfisher one time up in Door county years ago. 365
CLYNN So many clever people around - potted succulent wreath :) Caves in a cornfield - what next? RIP Amari.

Wow I’m sitting on my deck with Ollie and Mr tower circled right over my head maybe 5 times, do low Ollie bark d at him. So off he headed to the water tower. His white tail shimmered in the sun!

Clynn, clever wreath!
Phyl, Piper is not on anti seizure meds. Vet said it is not medically recommended at this time! Will have blood work done when it is time for her vaccines with this in mind. She recovers quickly and seems fine.
Lani, Chewy does a Nice job. Hope you and Sadie had a great walk this morning! Surprised to read that you have a hearing loss. Do you have hrating aids? I have some but like everyone else, I do not think they mdo much!

Kb, beautiful Calla Lily Valley! Just stunning.... Handsome Rooster and YAY Mr Tower!
Phyl, Yes, the endangered sloths have serious medical issues. Also, it saddens me that the 3-Toe Sloths cannot seem to survive beyond a few months old. So far, none have survived at this Costa Rica rescue. :'( I'm sure they are studies being conducted about that. I just love their precious bandit-like faces. Thank you for reading my update on the Sloth TV thread.... Beautiful Kingfisher and Egret....
Clynn, Love the Potted Wreath! .... I'm sorry to hear the sad news about Jody's Amari :'( ... I'll post a note on her FB... Dresden's special kidney diet food was over $100 too. And yes, Chewy is easy to deal with.... interesting about Niagara Cave in a cornfield, looks spooky. ;D
{{{Tsk and Tim}}}
Geez, I have a busy week, Two Zoom meetings today... I'm doing a presentation tomorrow night for our women's group for Payson High Senior Scholarship night.... Thursday afternoon is a Webinar that I have to attend... and Friday to the valley for haircut/Costco/Trader Joe. :P ... I've given up wine/chocolate for Lent. I'm hanging on here by a thread. :-X
Have a good day Everyone!

📺 SLOTH TV - they name the baby sloths after their rescuers. ;D
🦥Sloth Preschool Update: :-*
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Stable and active. Gaining weight and healthy all-around. He is finally growing in some adult hair!
Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Mimi is officially spending her nights out of the incubator with the other babies! She has been a lot more active and gaining confidence as she navigates life with one hand.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: Grover is growing well and nearing 1-kilogram, meaning he will be graduating to Sloth Elementary soon! Stable and gaining weight.
Nazli, two-fingered sloth: The wound on Nazli’s nose finally healed and she finished her nebulization treatments! While her prognosis is still reserved, she is gaining weight and doing much better than when she first arrived. She is also now spending her nights outside of the incubator!
JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ is stable and growing well, but has to remain separated from his classmates, as he arrived with a case of mites. We are actively treating him with clorhexadine baths and mite medication.
NEW ARRIVAL Beanie, two-fingered sloth: Beanie was found alone on the ground, covered in bite wounds from a dog attack. We suspect there may be internal injuries to her hind limbs, as she has limited function. In need of a CT scan with a reserved prognosis at this time.
NEW ARRIVAL Fiesta, two-fingered sloth: Fiesta was found alone, abandoned by her mother with her umbilical cord still attached. She is in need of a CT scan to investigate some unusual findings in her x-rays. She has a reserved prognosis at this time.
NEW ARRIVAL Bruno, two-fingered sloth: This tiny newborn was found on the ground abandoned. Our newest arrival is spending most of his time in an incubator with a reserved prognosis at this time.
🌳Sloth Elementary Update: :-*
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken is growing quickly! He is now at the top of his class and right on track to head to Sloth University–only 200 grams away!
Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Still slightly underweight, but he is stable, active, and growing. We have increased his feedings in an attempt to give him a chance to catch up to his classmates.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is spending nights in an outdoor enclosure and is eating exclusively leaves. Once he hits 1.5 kilograms, he will be ready to graduate to Sloth University!
GRADUATE Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Elmo has officially hit 1 kilogram and graduated to Sloth Elementary! He is transitioning onto a smoothie and leaf diet.
GRADUATE Binx, two-fingered sloth: Binx is also now over 1 kilogram and ready to continue her rehabilitation journey! And we have more good news–Binx received a clean bill of health from the cardiologist! We will continue to monitor her for any abnormalities, but for now she is stable and growing well.
🎓Sloth University Update: :-*
Coco, two-fingered sloth: The largest of our sloth graduates, Coco will likely be the first to be rewilded. She is stable and currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures.
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Growing fast and preparing to be rewilded. Currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures.
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Antonio has finally caught up to his classmates in weight! He is stable and growing well.
Myrtle, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Competing with Antonio and Spike to see who will be the next to go into a pre-release enclosure.
Spike, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Competing with Antonio and Myrtle to see who will be the next to go into a pre-release enclosure.
🥀In Loving Memory: :'( - My question: why are the 3-fingered sloths survival rate so low? So far, none have lived beyond a few months old since I've been following for almost 2 years. :'(
Fergus, three-fingered sloth: We are devastated to share that despite nebulization treatments, Fergus succumbed to pneumonia. This is the reality of working with baby sloths with unknown life histories.
A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.

Good Afternoon Beakers

tsk - Cute morning greeting! Sorry to hear about Tim's trigger fingers.
((Puff)) - Thinking of you today. :-*
clynn - Love the flowerpot wreath. I have had the same similar experience with Chewy. I agree very easy to deal with when something isn't right. Have you ever seen the documentary Decoding the Driftless? The caves you mentioned remind me of something from the documentary.
Phyl - Thanks for the 365, love Kingfishers.
kb - Wow, the Calla lilies, beautiful...and the rooster, too. :D
Lani - How nice of Chewy to send flowers to your friends on the passing of their pup. What?!?! Given up wine and chocolate!
tig - Wow, that is a long time. I hope it is worth the discount.
E4E - Thank you, and I hope you and Kris had a nice day, too.
baz - So happy to hear the doc got you in, and gave you what you needed. Aww, cute pic of the lil greats!
karen - Oh no, so sorry to hear Piper had another seizure. Darn, I missed all of your good cooking last night!
-
Baz, good morning for you, kids are cute surprised at your pick of warm and beach side! I truly thought you would rather be in Chapel Hill! Have a good night and a winning ticket!
LOL, Karen! I will be in Chapel Hill Monday night watching the Tarheels play at the Dean Dome! Go Heels!! :D I didn't win the Powerball jackpot last night. Boo! No one else did either. LOL. Next time!! ;D ;)
-
...
BAZI You are so funny. The stars were definitely aligned for you today - a miracle in my estimation that the day went so smoothly!! Tim was put in a room at ortho and 45 min later went to find nurse to ask if he had wrong day as no one had come to see him yet. LOLOL Enjoy your big lottery win tonight - a good day to buy a ticket! Thanks for letting us know where you will be ;) ;) Those kids are so cute and really learning not to fear water at this young age.
TSK, I have had that exact same experience you described Tim having at a doc office before! OMG, it should never happen that way!! But, LOL, yes, I think I had a charmed day yesterday! It made me smile and laugh - like this cartoon did! ;D

Oh, P.S. TSK, the kids started swim lessons very young, and continue them. They have spent a lot of time at beaches and lakes in several states, and go to pools often - they are little fish - like my sisters and I were when we were growing up... water lovers, All. :D :-* :-*

Sunday nights were made for moving Marshall Amps and Rock-N-Roll.

A gentleman I have not seen in 25 years sat next to Pip & I's hearth this eve. Very way cool and unexpected. Played a 12 string guitar and sang like a chorus. Perfect is not strong enough of a word.
Perks of having moved very securely very valuable musical equipment. :)
The worlds finest tequila was only had by the fire tender and the picker.
I have to go now as we're still looking for pips jaw last seen singing to the Llamas. :-*
Dancing I love it.
All outside still now have been now accounted for at an ambient air temperature of 20° F.
The fire outside I don't know about for sure.
It's pretty toasty I here tell. 45° at 20'.
Nice, BL. :-*

KB How lucky was that!!
LANI What a surprise - those eagles on Seal island ;D So interesting that the 3 toed sloths are not surviving after rescue. It's so sad to hear about all those abandoned sloths. LOLOL "Hanging on by a thread"...I'd be dead by now. ;D ;D You do have a busy week - only a busy Thurs and Friday for me. Good luck with the speech!
BAZI LOLOL Teachers brownies and Pink Floyd
55 degrees - Will walk to Bible study ;D

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
(((PUFF))), in remembrance of all the years of love and fun you had with Ton. :-* :-*
Lani, (((the baby sloths and their loving caretakers))) :-* :-* You are way busy!! Hang in there! I sure hope the Easter Bunny delivers an Easter morning basket to you filled with chocolate eggs, and a nice bottle of wine tucked into the grass next to them. :D
TSK, so sorry about Tim having the finger issues. Hope he gets improvement with treatment. Kingfishers are so cool to watch - I just love them. I'm very lucky that I get to watch a resident Kingfisher dive for food every day in the retention pond next to me. I stop and watch regularly - it never gets old. :-* Nice day for your walk!
Clynn, I want to join you and Lani on that walk with Sadie in her woods at sunrise! :)
Karen, I'm glad to hear ((Piper)) recovers quickly, and he is doing well! :-* :-*
Lisa, I think Spring is just about to bust out with some buds on trees here, like in your picture today! :) How's your mom doing - more comfortable sitting yet? Spring weather and flowers will help her feel even better soon, I hope! :D When do you expect to get another "fix" with Sydney? I hope soon! :-*
BL, doggone it, I am now allergic to llamas ::) :( ... even so, I would probably just risk it and go along with Pip for a few llama kisses, too! Kind of hard to resist! ;) :D :-* :-*
Oldguy, did you slay at cards this past weekend? Maybe I missed your report? Hope you don't over-do getting all the Spring arrivals set up at the store! I bet people are itching to hit the Garden Center section there soon! :)
Have a Good Day, and Keep Smiling, Beakers! :)

Lani - You are dedicated to your little Sadie for those early morning walks! I am still so sorry for your friend's loss of their big 'ole sweet doggy. Thank you for the Sloth status - a lot of good info.
Kb - No I have not been to Garrapata Beach for the Calla Lillies - I will need to get over there sometime! Like how Ollie alerted you to Mr. Tower circling above! :)
BL - What a great evening with the gentleman you hadn't seen in such a long time - bet it was fun to listen to him play his 12-String!! Tequila! ;D
Phyl - I know you were speaking to Karen, but I am so happy that Maggie didn't have to stay on the medication and didn't have any more seizures. :) Thanks for 365; liked Egret, Kingfisher & Heron.
Clynn - Like all your morning gifs - always so happy & uplifting. I also can't say enough wonderful things about Chewy - t[/size]hey are great!
Karen - Hope you & Piper had a good day :)
LisaG - Hope all is good with family and pets! :) :)

Beakers have a good night - keep safe & warm.

LANI Hope to join BAZI and CLYNN on that early AM forest walk ;D
BAZI Love the play on "horseshoes" ;)
KB Yes a beautiful scene in Otsego. Such a good eye for composition.
Prayers please for my Milwaukee Bro's wife, Margaret. Long story - but had a liver biopsy yesterday and that night back in the ER with pain blurred vision and strange behavior. Her BP had bottomed out. A bleed at the biopsy site filling abdomen which caused the pain- needed blood. Admitted. Is supposed to have a cancerous tumor removed from her kidney Friday - Likely may be postponed. She and my bro are never sick! Had to change docs as current one retired. New doc noticed a high Cholesterol and did the new CT scan procedure for the heart to find calcium - heart is great! However found the tumor and the questionable liver. God bless this new doctor. Day by day. Thanks for the prayers that all works out for them.

Phyl, Piper is not on anti seizure meds. Vet said it is not medically recommended at this time! Will have blood work done when it is time for her vaccines with this in mind. She recovers quickly and seems fine.

CLynn fantastic Niagara Cave cave; Monty Python was telecast when we lived at the Kaiser Steel mine in Calif. and had no premium cable TV---just cable. It wasn't until the '80s and I subscribed to Comcast in Mo that I watched it---what a hoot!! Have you ever watched 'Blackadder' series w/ Rowan Atkinson? Chatting w/Ed's sister about Pres.A. Lincoln and Spfld. would be so interesting .
Tsk charming kitty wake up this AM; Tim's nurse likes to tease :) hope all went well; And of course will pray for y our brother and his wife Margaret. Thanks be to God for the new Doc.
KB how cool to see Mr. Tower---one can never see too eagles. ;) Lovely photo of Otsego, MN by Keith Christensen.
Lani thanks for the Seal Island update/photos how great was that --eagles; I wish I had leash trained my cats---a horrendous task---walking Sadie, special quiet time I'm sure; Today's 365 was wonderful to watch -those lovely birds, E, H and K; such a busy week, be sure to 'breathe'. ;)
Eagles in my post to Karen I was talking about Samantha, my black straight-faced Persian. She was born in 1983 and died in 2000 from kidney failure.
My little Maggie is age 22 yrs or 100 cat years---has stage 3 heart murmur and level 2 kidney disease---by God's generosity she's doing quite well and still 'in the game'. :)

Lisa, yep, no wine or chocolate, I should add cheese, but I'm weak :-\ ... glad to hear your mom is taking it one day at a time, sitting and short drives. {{{Sydney}}} :-*
Baz, sorry, No Powerball this time! Next time! Go Tarheels! ;D .. We had naptime at Pearl Harbor Elementary, but we listened to "ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH" and drank guava juice. ;D.. yes, I'm looking forward to my Trader Joe Easter Basket! ;)
Kb, stunning photo by Keith Christensen. That would make a great puzzle.
Eagles, Depending on Sadie's mood, our morning walks or part jog or sometimes hike gives me lots of energy for the day. Clears my head too.
{{{Oh Tsk}}}, I am very sorry to hear about your SIL Margaret's serious illness. For sure prayers being sent, candle being lit... God Bless the new doctor! Prayers for your Mil {{{Bro and Margaret.}}}
Phyl, sweet Bluebirds.

Lani, you are not weak! You are a strong woman to say the least! You gave up 2 of your favorite things! I may be wrong, but isn't only one required? ;D Keep that cheese close! What is usually in a Trader Joe's Easter Basket? I may have to go look! You and Sadie walk for each other, that's love. Hope Mike and the girls are doing well!
Phyl, ah, the Cane Ridge Bluebirds! A new season is about to start! No, I haven't seen Blackadder, I will give it a try! My soul cat, Bogey, was born in 1987 and also died in 2000 from kidney failure. We still miss them, don't we...Maggie is a Trooper, you have taken such good care of her! I read the other day of a cat that lived to be 30... Thanks for the 365 and Amy's Blog! Great closeup of the duck, on the airplane, in the air? Is that possible? Cheers for your Betty Crocker day!
tsk, prayers for your SIL Margaret and your brother. Thank goodness for the new doctor! It just makes one wonder how many things are missed, not that the retired doctor wasn't a good doctor, but... My Mom might have died if not for Jennifer, the RN in our family. Not everyone has a Jennifer at hand. I had to send her all of the medical information regarding the issue with my eye so she could approve...
baz, I am still chuckling over the teacher and the brownies and Pink Floyd! And the horses playing boots!
Lisa, I hope you get a Sydney fix soon! I sure miss having Bella on Wednesdays, but at least I will have both of them this summer! Your Mom sounds like she is easing back into her active life!
Berry College - We have a second egg in this second clutch! Egg #2 arrived tonight, 2/20, at 8:05pm.

This is the Painted Wall in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison near Montrose, Colorado. After the Gunnison River cut the canyon the huge piece of rock was lifted so the river is above the nearby Uncompaghre River valley. The power/energy required to lift the entire piece of the earth is just beyond comprehension.

PHYL Good bluebird shots this AM :) AM duck hitching a ride ;D ;D 365 :) Thanks for Amy's blog. Newman's back as are the geese .
LANI Nothing like early morning endorphins to get you going for the day. Another one of the positives to owning a dog. ;) Sweet good night pic. :) You've had Mike home for a nice long time. When's his next trip?
CLYNN Happy to hear Jennifer has the knowledge of your medical condition. I usually run everything by my nurse friend Julie.
Thanks for the Berry's news :D

Good Morning! Clynn, love the little girl with the big bright sunflower! Also the garden stick ladies! Would like them but they would not hold up well in this climate! Spectacular Colorado Canyon! Another second clutch!
It was a nurse PA who discovered my broken pelvis , while at the home. They are invaluable parts of tge medical team!
Good walks Lani! I gave up wine years ago! Do not think I really liked it! Lol. Chocolate. I do think that would be a problem!
Going to the ent this afternoon! Vertigo bad yesterday!

tsk - I am so sorry to hear about your Milwaukee SIL. Prayers coming!! I looked at my weather app, and see some 60's for us, too. So unusual for this time of year, maybe Phil was right...early Spring?!
Phyl - Great pics of your blue birds. Thanks, mama doesn't let anything keep her down. Love the morning pic!
Lani - I am weak, too. I have every intention of giving something up for Lent, and then I always forget and eat it. Love the good night pic!
clynn - So excited for Berry, and their 2nd clutch! Thanks for the pic. Cute lil garden figurines.
karen - Good luck at ENT today, hope he can fix you up!

Larry Strack caught this great pic of an Eastern Screech Owl napping in Hastings, MN. Not that far south of the Twin Cities along the Mississippi River.
Going up to almost 50 here too today!
Morning all...busy getting ready for a Sunday move of living room furniture. Swapping the side the tv is on and mixing up the sitting arrangements. Have help coming Sunday but removing books from book case and cd's, dvd's, equipment and "Junk" in the cabinet holding tv....
tsk - hope your SIL improves today. Keep us posted.
Icing the shoulder and heading out for a walk soon.

Royal Albatross - 2/20 Weigh Day
Colin weighed the chicks this morning with their Dads watching on. Yes there was changeovers at both TF & TFT nests.
Read Sharyn's update for the chicks weights, info about the imminent post guard stage esp. for TF chick & health checks.
The parents are trusting and patient while chick is being handled by ranger. :-*

Phyl, sweet deer and then there's the wolf ... thanks for Amy's blog...
Clynn, my Trader Joe Easter basket will have treats for Sadie, cats, wine/cheese/chocolate almonds/blueberry scones for me! I'll share the almonds with Mike. 8) ... Mike and the girls are busy and doing well.... congratulations to Berry College... like your morning pics... glad you have an RN in your family too {{{Jennifer}}}.
Tsk, I think Mike's last trip wore him out. He's not anxious to leave anytime soon, not even to Gila Bend. But, he has the plants well-organized and he trusts the staff. They keep in contact with him throughout the day.
{{{Karen and Piper}}} I pray all goes well at your appt. And Piper's doing well too.
Eagles, I hope you're post will work for you today. I have trouble trying to change my good night post. I can't change the font size to 12. The top part will change to 12, but not below the candle pic. I'll work it out when I have more time.
Lisa, I think we're going to have an early spring too. Which means a long summer, not happy about that.... I wish it was Indian Summer year round. LOL!
Kb, beautiful Screech Owl looks so cozy. :-* ... enjoy your walk.

Lisa, I think we're going to have an early spring too. Which means a long summer, not happy about that.... I wish it was Indian Summer year round. LOL!
You can keep an eye on the progress of Spring with this handy tool.
Lani it looks like Payson is on course to be about No Difference if not a touch Late on the First leaf index.
LisaG 14 Days Early is marching steadily north towards you/us.
Baz is 7 Days Early.
KarenG you were right at No difference to 1 Day late in Valdosta, GA.
Phyl's in Memphis, TN your about 9 days early.
Bring on the Blue Birds. 8)
How often do we see a spring this early or late?
How typical is this year’s spring? Darker colors represent springs that are unusually early or late in the long-term record. Gray indicates an average spring.
The Sacramento Valley as well as coastal areas of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington are seeing the earliest spring leaf out on record.
Note that the Spring Leaf Index is based on heat accumulation and may have less relevance in water-limited systems like California and the Southwest. Precipitation may play a larger role in the phenology of plants in these areas.

Good Albi report ! Thanks Lani. Super Easter Basket and nice to include Sadie and the Kitties! I worked with a man once who bragged that they bought his young children under ware and put it in the basket! We asked, candy? No just undies! Mean Easter Bunny! No little toys or books either.
Nice website BL! Think it is spring here already!
MD said my vertigo was pretty severe today! Treated both sides and said I should come back in 2 weeks even if I do not feel dizzy! Msde the appointment! Warned about dental and beauty shoo appointments! Now to keep my head straight for at least 48 hours.
-
Baz, will you be in
Chapel Hill in person or in spirit on your sofa, in front of the tv? Either way . Good luck to the tar heels!
Lani, take some time to rest during your busy week! I hope they can find an answer to the early demise of the 3 finger sloths! They are all so sweet looking,
Karen, I will be at the game, live and in person. GO HEELS!!! ;D
-
karen - Did doc warn about beauty and dental appointments, cause of the vertigo? Hope you are feeling a lil better today after the visit.
tig - How thoughtful of you and Camper. :-*
BL - Yay!
Lani - Thanks for the Royal updates. Your Trader Joe's Easter basket sounds perfect.
kb - Aborable pic of the Screech Owl. Hope you had a good walk and shoulder is feeling better.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
I rented the movie, Barbie, last night. I would've enjoyed it even more on a large screen. :)
Yesterday I walked 45 minutes. Yay! And today I walked 34 minutes... and spied an azalea showing a few fully open pretty-in-deep-pink blooms! A group of 3 Turkey Vultures were "playing" along my walk to the kayak launch today - I really think they were out just having fun with each other :-* flying back and forth low, almost swiping some pine tree branches, and landing on a roof, and then flying after each other and taking a ride up high, and then circling back down and swooping low right past me, and then on over to the woods by the cypress swamp. I always know that Spring is in the air for real when the birds start getting crazy silly hormonal. ;D :-* :-* Even the Turkey Vultures! LOL! I wish willi had been with me to see them!! :-* :-*
Lani, your Trader Joe's Easter basket sounds like the bomb! :D Thanks for the great report on the Royal Albie and the chicks! :-* :-*
Karen, I'm so glad you had a good session with your ENT today! I hope your 2-week follow-up will bring you even longer respite from that dizziness. Yep, gotta be careful putting your head back for a shampoo at the salon and the dentist's chair - and sitting back up from that!
Clynn, that is the best news for the Berry nest Eagles!! :-* :-* :-* I love that nest, and I am sooo happy they got a second clutch this year! And now a 2nd egglet for their 2nd clutch!! Wow!! Talons crossed they have a better rest of the season there. :-* And WOW! on the Painted Wall at the Black Canyon! Spectacular!!
Lisa, I'm glad your momma is able to get out a bit on her own a little more... she gathers no moss!! ;) :D Yes, a Sydney fix is in order!! :D :-* :-*
E4E, did you get the high winds again with this most recent "atmospheric river" that hit CA the last few days? Have you and Kris gotten your new canvas cover yet to replace the one that the other storm destroyed?
BL, thanks for the early Spring prognostications map. I can see it in person as it happens here. Nature is wondrous! :)
TSK, oh my, I'm so sorry for your Milwaukee brother's wife, Margaret, going through all of that!! Yes, many prayers going out for her, and for her husband, and for the care team there! Hugs.
Take care, All. Peace.

TIG What a wonderful thing to do to bring the station groceries.. Adam was one handsome guy. What a shame.
KAREN So your doc did the Epley maneuver? Did it help. Sure hard to keep your head straight!!
BAZI An in person game - Yahoo. Be sure to wave.
Margaret had surgery this AM to cauterize the liver vein that did not stop bleeding on its own. When she finally got back to the room she was feeling better altho there will be some discomfort until all the blood reabsorbs into her system. . Kidney surgery was cancelled for Friday - no new date and still waiting on liver biopsy results. Bro hoped they could go home tonight? Thanks for your prayers. :-* :-*
-
...been eons since I've visited Memphis.
Tsk thanks so much for Margaret's update, glad the bleeding was stopped and waiting on liver biopsy. Prayers continue.
CLynn really enjoyed your AM post; I remember your speaking of Bogey :-*---yes we still miss them, always. Tks for Berry College update/snaps. ;)
Also, have you seen 'Mr. Bean'? Also w/ Rowan Atkinson---own that DVD set too. ::) Also have you seen movie 'Green Fingers'? 2000 trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzvwH5EhNTI
Tsk lovely white owl this AM. Oh yeah---Newman's back and with Julie and Lisa--- it's getting 'R' rated on the bluff . No surprise.
{{Karen}} glad you got some vertigo relief. I can see the dental appts w/ drilling and repeat head movements. Hair salon appts? unless it's tilting the head back in the shampoo basin. Hope your improvements continue.
I have a 6" titanium plate screwed in my spinal column c-3 and c6 between it and esophagus, with 6 surgical stainless steel screws , 3 on each side. No body maneuvers my head or twists my neck ! No body---there's no way a therapist or doc or anyone could know how that feels with all that 'hardwear' inside my neck.
Lisa I'm with your mom, can't let 'issues' get one feeling down--you know? So, when is the premier of 'Sydney: The Movie" ? ;) Oh yeah...Lent's all about sacrifice. :)
KB awesome photo of Eastern Screech Owl in Hastings, MN.
Eagles oh the frustration of losing a post---esp when one is ready to hit 'post'. :(
Lani many thanks for the Royal Albie update/snaps. Really enjoy the video shorts

Dentist anspd shampoo bowl, equal head position! Gets the calcium crystals out of their home and kinda makes one feel like they are on a wild carnival ride! Md said my vertigo was severe.

in stents in an aorta, do not think of them much!
Piper thinks the bsck yard is s buffet table! She grazes out there and two nights ago, came in and vomited! As the joke goes, she said, thank God, I made it to the carpet! When I am sure the dizzies are gone.
Iwill do a. Better spot removal job!
Well,Spring is beginning to pop out, can dummer be far behind?

BL, Thanks for link. I'll check it out tomorrow.
Baz, sounds like your walk today was entertaining! Willi would have loved it too! :-*
{{{Camper and Tig}}} What kind and generous gesture for you both to do for Fire Department.
{{{Karen and Piper}}} Glad you were able to get some relief....Piper, no more grazing... Cats love to graze. They always miss the wood floors and hit the carpets instead.... I pray you will feel even better tomorrow. :-*
{{{Tsk}}} Thanks for Margaret's update. So glad the bleeding has stopped, prayers for healing and comfort continue. I pray your bro is able to get some rest too. How scary for all.
Phyl, interesting about the very pretty penguin.
Eagles, I wish you all could walk with us too. The Payson High Senior night was a fun evening. It was such a positive evening to be surrounded by such young and adventuresome girls and boys. You could see the excitement about the future in their eyes. I'm ready for a good night's sleep. ;D .... Sweet Eagles Dream. :-*
Good night!

PHYL So many species seem to have their leucistic varieties. Love the "white tails" 365
KAREN Good visit with ENT. What do you use to get vomit off carpet?
LANI Oh that beauty of a calico. My favorite kitty. ;) ;) I agree, it is so uplifting to be near young kids who are positive and able to be in environments that foster that attitude. My heart aches for gangs and kids on the streets who somehow did not have that kind of upbringing/opportunity. :'(
PUFF No worries, God knows where the prayers go. ;) ;)

Phyl, good 365, love how the deer gracefully scatter with their little white tails in the air! 44 here, 61 for the high today. I see 2 70 degree days in the forecast for next week! Greenfingers looks like one I would like!
Lani, you had a good night with the High School Seniors! Ed's Mom was always so interesting to talk with, I think because she was a high school counselor. The kids kept her thinking young. She also did a lot of volunteer work for the kids up until she was in her 80's.
BL, listening now...thanks!
E4E, yes, I am looking forward to having the Munchkins this summer! They had a great time at the car show! I posted a couple of pictures, I think on Sunday, maybe Saturday. Sydney's birthday is next week, she will be 30. She had a big party for Erin when he turned 30, I hope he is doing the same for her!
tsk, I hope Margaret is doing well, still sending prayers...
baz, are you going with a group to the game? You will be loud and screaming, I am sure! Good walking!

tsk - Continued prayers for Margaret! I know you asked karen what she uses to get vomit off the carpet, but I use the Resolve foaming one when B or M does it. Cleans up good.
Phyl - Yep, Mama is one tough cookie and doesn't let anything stop her. Very pretty blonde penguin. Cute morning greeting.
E4E - Those are my kinda snacks in your good night pic....popcorn and coffee?
karen - Glad you are feeling a lil better. LOL, at least Piper made it to the carpet.

Clynn, Love the Hens & Chicks in the ladle planters... It's my favorite for rocky areas too. Though the Javalenas like to eat them, so I don't plant them here. But, they would do well in this soil... interesting map.
Kb, Looks like sunset swim, pretty pic... awww Tigers... and Tower!
Tsk, I use Spot Shot stain remover for all stains. Light spray and wipe with clean white cloth. Resolve foam spray will work too.
Phyl, thanks for nature vid! Run deer, run!

Good Morning Beakers!

baz, are you going with a group to the game? You will be loud and screaming, I am sure! Good walking!

Clynn, I will be visiting my sister for a couple of days. She lives near Chapel Hill. We still spend a lot of time in that town, and have ever since we were kids - my father, both my sisters, and I, all went to college there, and as they say, "Our blood runs Carolina Blue." ;) My sister and I bought 2 tickets to that Monday night game about a month ago. It's always fun to be in the middle of the nearly 22,000 screaming and cheering fans - my sister and I will be doing our part while we are there. ;D ;D We are also going to hike a nature trail on the edge of town there the next day. :) I bet Erin is planning a fun 30th b'day for Sydney! :) :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
Have birds; will poop! 8) I've used Spot Shot and Resolve - they work well. But they are now in "back-up" position in my cabinet, because I discovered Folex Carpet Spot Remover. Yeah, Baby! Now that's what I'm talking about!! ;D
A 32 oz (quart) spray bottle of Folex Carpet Spot Remover is about $7.00 at places like Lowes or Target, in my part of the country... It looks like this:

Lani, thanks for the great pics from TRR. :) :-* :-*
Karen, I hope you and Piper can enjoy some nice weather on your screened porch this weekend - big warm-up. And tell Piper to stop eating that stuff! I know... he isn't listening. LOL. ;) I hope his tummy has recovered from his most recent back-yard "All You Can Eat Buffet." :-*
Lisa, I've recently sworn off popcorn. Again. ::) ;) My sister and I are going to watch a movie when I visit her next week, so... popcorn might happen. Yikes! ;D
E4E, I'm glad y'all got the new canvas awning put up, and hope the recent storms won't mess it up any.
TSK, prayers continue for Margaret. Sorry she had to have the surgery to stop the bleeding, but glad she was feeling better so soon afterward. Fingers crossed she is home soon, if not already. Hugs all around. :-*
Waving to All the Beakers! :) :-*

Tsk pretty leucistic butterfly; do hope Margaret is doing better today-prayers will continue; I use Bissell's Little Green Carpet cleaner for pet accidents / small 'jobs. First scoop up food bits w/ a spoon .
CLynn soup ladles w/ Hen & Chick plants, novel idea; interesting maps from Tiny.com
Lisa coincidence you use term 'tough cookie'. That's exactly what the Recovery Room nurse said when I became conscious after cervical spine surgery. At the time I had ITP in full force and the 30k pml I had built up from 5k pml to be 'healthy' for that sort of surgery ---quickly dropped 3/4 thru surgery---transfusions got me to the finish line. So thankful I had a strong 'tough cookie' mom. ;)
KB lovely pair of Siberian Tigers today. And there's 'Mr. Tower' ;)
Lani colorful blanket for little sloth and 'Mr./Miss ' Macaw are too . I often watch a preschooler when his parents 'go out'. He's such fun.
Early------'Good Night and SEDs

kb - You did good with your pic of Mr Tower. :D
tsk - Any updates on Margaret, since earlier?
Lani - ;D

Phyl - Am glad you had a tough cookie mom, too!
Have a good night, everyone!

BAZI What a wonderful time with your sis coming up. And you can even get your steps in ;D Who supervises Zippo? Why did you swear off popcorn? Actually a pretty good snack - if you can control yourself - NOT ::) ::)
I was asking about the carpet cleanup as kind of a survey. Lucy was the puke queen and I have always used Resolve and as a back up Spot Shot. When I had my yr old new carpeting cleaned ( I tracked it down to incense ash tracked over this light carpet) I called my installer - well known in this area and excellent installer - who he would recommend to clean it. The guy came and did a marvelous job. I said by the way, these are products that I have used to spot clean over the years. What do you recommend. - NONE of them.
He recommended FOLEX!!! ( I had never heard of it.) Bazi wins the prize ;D He recommended trying first a light soapy solution (Dawn) to clean the area. If that didn't work then follow directions on Folex bottle. Used once so far when Lulu knocked over my almost empty coffee cup and the spill caught my area rug. Did a great job. Guess it is gentler on fiber. My ACE carried it.
Margaret home around noon today tired and sore BUT did manage to give herself a shower. Told her in an email to cut the 10,000 steps down to 5,000 LOLOL They both love to do walking but will be laying low for a few days.
-
Sorry, I am late to the table! Have used all the cleaning products Baz and others listed. My first attemp is to pour water on the spot and use my Bissell hand held pet cleaner! Some times it works! Just read about a product called, my dog peed! Used for all animals for urine, poop, vomit and blood. Spray it on and in 24 hours the spot, odor, etc and the product are gone. No scrubbing required! It doesnt do laundry or iron. It also costs about 99 dollars! Reviews were great!
Glad Margaret is home! Good fortune moving forward!
Baz, hope you blue blood girls have fun and cheer the heels to victory! Have been out with Piper but the temps are still in the low 70s and sixties. The highs for the day are here for an hour. Was out about noon talking to my neighbor and the sun felt great!
Vertigo came back this afternoon and I do not know what I did! Will need another appointment soon!
Clynn, great map.
Lani , cute sloths.
Waving to Eagles. phyl and Lisa! Seds

Clynn - Yaaay for the 2nd egg at Berry College! :) Yes! I did see the pictures of the Munchkins at the car show! ;D ;D
Karen - Hope your vertigo is subsiding and that you are feeling less dizzy and better now.
Tsk - Continued thoughts & prayers for your SIL. I hope your Milwaukee brother has been able to take her home where she can get some good rest. Just read that your SIL got to go home today!! I wish them both a peaceful & relaxing evening.
Phyl - Beautiful blonde penguin - how special!! :) Thank you for 365; deer & coyote (I thought it was a fox when I was watching)! You are a tough cookie just as your Mom was. {{Phyl}}
Lani - Sounds like a great time at Payson High Senior night - I just know you had a wonderful event!! ;D Thank you for TRR pics. :)
Kb - Pretty picture of the swimmer & reflection on the water - beautiful sky.

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Defends TF Against Adolescents! KA13 Pulls TF's Fluff 😲 WYL Visits LGK 2.22.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVfbSL3_gYo&t=779s
Feb 22, 2024
LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning defended TF as curious adolescents BGY and KA13 were too close to the nest. LGK chases them off but KA13 returns and approached TF and pulls its downy fluff! You can see the fluff in its bill. LGK chases him off again! Thankfully LGK was here to protect TF!
BOK returns and when WYL gets up off his nest to let her take over brooding of their chick, WYL comes over to LGK and visits for a long time and ends up taking a nap before he departs back out to sea.
TF is in the very beginning of the post-guard stage and LGK and LGL will be staying away for longer periods of time during the next couple of weeks. TF is a very brave chick getting its fluff pulled! Thank you for watching!
To see the highlights below, please click on the timestamps to advance to that portion of the video.

02:45 TF busy with gardening!!

Stunning photo.
The she-wolf has this habit of wrapping herself around the neck of her wolf because the neck is the most vulnerable part of the animal.
By doing so, she shows him her unconditional love.
For ethologists: Wolves are the most loyal and loving animals: they have only one partner throughout their life. The wolf is known to have an almost extraordinary tenderness and affection towards his she-wolf...which she knows perfectly well to return
Happy Friday all.

Lani, very good videos of the Albies, love it when they visit although those teenagers sometimes cause trouble! The parent is very patient but enough is enough! I can't tell the youngsters from the adults, is there something that distinguishes them? LWK is kind of a Nanny to TF!
tsk, glad to hear that Margaret is home! That was kind of scary!
Phyl, you and Maggie are both tough cookies! Come to think of it, so is Jim! A lot of tough cookies in the Beak Room ... Another great 365, love the sound of the waterfall and the cute little Mink!
karen, do you take anything for the vertigo? I see there are a lot of OTC remedies, but I have no idea if they really work. It just seems like you are getting it a lot lately! I have never had it, but my sis Becky has.

I adjusted the albie pic of TF chick's nanny LWK. You can see the sweet single adult sitting and keeping the chick company.
I guess he does this with other lonely chicks while their parents are away foraging. :-*
The rangers posted Manaaki was left alone at 34 days, TF chick is only 29 days. But it is summer, the Albies need to be hydrated and need more food to be able to feed their chick.
5 Hours ago, Dad LGK returned! :-*
Great feed by Dad LGK for TF chick! A little attempted preen for 'the boss', then off again to go to sea for the next round. Champion LGK.

Re: 2023 Great Spirit Bluff Falcons
« Reply #723 on: Yesterday at 12:32:40 »
The plot thickens at GSB today. Newman was perched at the nest box about 10:30 this morning, no leg bands so pretty sure it was him. And then, Lisa 53-W was back, perching on the box and chattering, about 11:00! Didn't see any of them together on the rewind, but I could have missed an encounter.
I also think one of the peregrines was perching at the top of a tree on the bluff, but too far for a good pic. And Newman was at the overhang of the large feeding ledge, but too dark for a decent pic.

Aryana Hummingbird: Eros Takes His First, Brave Steps & Jousts with Faith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4PwF9w
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/46/9c/e9/469ce95d4d648628e41092c28fcf964e.jpg)
Eros behind leaf
Feb 20, 2024
At 22 and 23 days post-hatch, Eros and Faith are preparing for a life beyond the confines of the nest. Eros is the first to venture forth...at least a little bit. You can watch that earlier scene, in a shorter clip. Here, he takes his first, brave steps onto an adjacent branch; forages for insects among its leaves; cozies up to Aryana for nectar slurry; and engages Faith in a friendly jousting match afterward. Fun times!
But does this count as a fledge? Not quite. In a true fledge, our Fledge Watch Contest rules say, "a nestling uses both wings to achieve liftoff, and both feet leave the nest--no one-footed hops or touch-backs on any part of the nest rim or a nearby branch." So Fledge Watch continues!
For newcomers to this nest, and those who want a quick refresher course:
Q: Who is Aryana Hummingbird?
A: Aryana Hummingbird is an Allen's hummingbird who's raising her first clutch of the 2024 nesting season in a Gartenmeister Fuchsia. Her babies, Eros and Faith, are 21 & 22 days old. Thanks to Explore.org, we're able to watch the entire nesting process, from egg to fledge.
Q: How much do these nestlings weigh right now?
A: It's hard to give an exact answer, but a mature adult Allen's hummingbird weighs between 2 - 4 grams (the average being about 3 grams). Since they're not yet fledglings, it's fair to guess that they'd come in at
the lighter end of that range. So...2 grams, then, if not slightly less. How does that compare to the weight of everyday objects? Well, these items weigh approximately 1 gram apiece, so pick any two: a paper clip, a raisin, a U.S. dollar bill, the cap of a disposable Bic pen, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
Short answer: They're feather-light!
NEST DATA:
Aryana is a non-migrating Allen's Hummingbird who lives in the coastal area of Southern California. She's raising her first clutch of the 2024 mating season in a Gartenmeister Fuchsia.
Nest building efforts first spotted on December 25, 2023
Egg laying: Jan 12, 2023 at 6:49 a.m. and Jan 14 at 6:58 a.m.
Incubation period started on January 14th, at 6:58 a.m.
Faith's hatch occurred on January 29th--Day 16 of the incubation period. Eros hatched the next day (January 30th).
*FLEDGE WATCH: 20-28 days is the estimated timeframe from hatch to fledge.

karen - Not sure if B&K will do anything today, as K works from 6pm to 6am Thurs - Sat. They may do something on Sunday. I think her mother moves in next month, sometime.
Phyl - I have seen a couple Easter baskets that I like at Pottery Barn, that I can get her name monogrammed on them. Thanks for hummer info.

Stunning photo.
The she-wolf has this habit of wrapping herself around the neck of her wolf because the neck is the most vulnerable part of the animal.
By doing so, she shows him her unconditional love.
For ethologists: Wolves are the most loyal and loving animals: they have only one partner throughout their life. The wolf is known to have an almost extraordinary tenderness and affection towards his she-wolf...which she knows perfectly well to return
Happy Friday all.
Did someone mention wolves ? :)
Check out this webcam footage from yesterday at Old Faithful in Yellowstone N.P. 8)
I guess this pack likes it when there are not so many tourists around .. it was their park 1st after all. ;D

Beautiful wolves!
Lani, hope you and Mike are having a good day in the Valley! Your Fur kids will be glad to see you when you get home! Becky and Jennifer have been at Moms for 2 weeks, they left for Oregon this morning. They take both their cats, Molly and Lucy, they have it all figured out! They have made the trip 9 or 10 times since Dad passed away. It's a long 3+ day trip each way, 2,195 miles.
Lori, love that cake for Bradley and Kelly!
Lisa, I haven't started on the Easter baskets for the Munchkins yet, seems like I just finished with the Valentine stuff! Easter is early this year!

CLYNN For Feb and March - the On the Hook food truck is nowhere near me :( WOW 2,195 miles. Bless the two of those girls for making that trip. Quite an adventure each time. Well I figure it is worth a try with Folex as it comes from a very reputable service. But maybe every carpet company has their own recommendations - which is how I got several of my spot removers...sigh

I tried a hot honey pepperoni pizza tonite. Not bad... but I'm not really a fan of pepperoni. LOL. I would buy a bottle of hot honey to try on chicken but it is too expensive. There are recipes for hot honey, but I think I am too lazy to try. Oh well...

Tsk, Clynn and Lani there hasn't been a Sauces nest hatch much less surviving egg since Dina in spring 2021 that I can confirm. I"'ve scoured the last 2 + years. Dina was my 'girl' I love that bald eagle. Miss and wonder about her quite often. Since 'they' didn't put a tracking device on her ---why ?
I think Anthony was hatched before Dina. I didn't go back that far in research this time.

Eagles, Hot Honey is a spicy condiment. It's got some heat in it, chili flakes, hot sauce, or apple cider vinegar. There are probably many other recipes... I like to dip chicken nuggets in Hot Honey.... I hope you and Kris have fun plans for this weekend.

Good Morning everyone! My patio doors face east - so face sunrise. I love to get up early, make a pot of tea and journal while watching the sunrise each morning. April 1st my job is changing to another company so I'll be 100% remote so can really enjoy each day as it begins. I also put out suet feeders in winter so get downy woodpeckers, red crested woodpeckers, starlings, house sparrows, and junkos.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Hi Nr!
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the lovely sunrise yesterday CLynn brought to us. Mornings will certainly be 'enjoyable' to say the least with such an assortment of pretty and lively birds visiting your feeders.
Sending 'Good Luck' your way with the new job.
{{{Karen}}} be extra careful
Lani 'nosey' 'Good Night' ---cute
Eagles another comfy fire last evening
Tig/Lani thanks for extra info on the hot honey; would be tasty w/chicken nuggets/wings
Lisa monogram Easter baskets, that's new---that will make Sydney's basket extra special from you

Happy Caturday and Good Morning!
Bl, good music and wolf story! Thanks
Phyl, I do not think you ever sleep! Up late and up early! Thanks for the posrs?
Nr, good to see you. Love your morning routine! Will be mice to work from home but then there is something to be said for getting up and out, as well. You do keep busy!
Lani, enjoy your posts! I wish we would have an occasional blanket of snow too! Really would like it in August!
Clynn, Becky and Jennifers trip is truly over the river and thru the woods, and prairies, ! Do they change routes for more adventure?

Phyl, good 365 with the beaver poking his head out! 26 here, 55 high for today. The high temps are just crazy, Mon 72, Wed 37. next Sun 76. What??!! Love the kitty on the water bottles, they so love to crawl into places... That Good Morning kitty!!! Nice to see someone will be using N1, thanks for Amy's Blog! She doesn't mention HD and HM, I wonder if they have an eye on their new nest? And Mom and DM2? Sue Bruhling reported on FB 2/15 that she spotted both pairs and something about HD/HM building a nest on the other side of the Bluffs. Oh, I found a history of the Sauces nest for you: https://www.iws.org/sauces-nest-history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSx5IwqBI74 Here is a picture of a young Harley, he could be Bob's twin!

nr, nice to see you in the Beak! We need to get together again!
Lani, Becky and Jennifer are on their way back to Corvallis, they were at Mom's for two weeks. They have been driving to Mom's twice every year, usually around this time and then in the fall. Mom will be 90 this year, they report that she is slowing down a bit. She has been using a cane but they got her one of those lightweight 3 wheeled walkers so she will maybe try and get out more. I will be going in April, as usual. I have wondered if the hostas have started coming up with this warmer spring like weather! Let's see Aly's picture! Love the goodnight noses...
BL, what? I was never good at word puzzles... ;D :o But I do love the great tunes!
E4E, yes, tough cookies in the Beak, and Kris is definitely in the group! I did take a look at the Easter goodies but haven't started the Easter Baskets for the Munchkins yet! I do feel it coming on though!
karen, there are a couple of different routes they can take, they check the weather carefully!

{{{Hi Puff }}} :-*
Kb, Love the cow/shoes! LOLOL!! ;D
Tsk, Why not try less chili flakes and hot sauce, let it sit and then taste. If you prefer, Add more organic honey and let sit. Mike wouldn't like it, but Aly and I would. ;D
Clynn,. {{{Harley}}} :-* ... safe travels for Becky, Jennifer and fur babies.... love the hummingbird mobile feeder.
Karen, August snow ;D .. I hope your vertigo isn't bad today.
Hi Nr, best wishes with your new job!

LANI Cute card to BL ;D The grocery store kitty knows just were to catch a few winks ;) ;) I was thinking about doing that with the brie and hot honey. I could do a trial run LOL "Hairy Potter" ::) ::)
CLYNN That is a gorgeous feeder for someone who gets all those hummers. BUT I too would worry about how to clean and add new sauce. Mine is just a single glass one - with 4 ports and easy to clean.

Just wanted to THANK you all again for the anniversary wishes for B&K. I sent pics to them, and they appreciate it. I also see I am three Beak pages behind! I was not feeling well yesterday afternoon, logged off PC, and went to bed very early. Feeling much better today.
BrokenLug - Loved the webcam footage of the wolves at Yellowstone. Have a great time.
tsk - How was your fish fry?
clynn - How cool is that, a fish truck! LOL, yes the Easter candy was mixed up with the Valentine's candy at my store. Thanks for the pics of the SWFL kiddo in their heraldic pose!
tig - Oooo, was the hot honey pepperoni spicy?
E4E - Loved that cozy looking family room last night in your good night pic.
Lani - The mother moves in next month, as winter will be milder here, so Im guessing she will be here all summer, and then head back to FL for the winter. That is my guess, I don't like to ask too much. :-X
Phyl - Hooray for the goose cam....love those honkers!! ;D ;D your morning kitty. Thanks for 365.
nr - That is great that you will get to work remotely, and enjoy those sunrises.
karen - How ya feeling?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BrokenLug!!

We do love a great Moon Landing here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFofVdgxn8k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L82II1lNjo
We're heading up north on the terrestrial highway nearing the muddy LZ.
I don't say this often enough out loud.
The sky was absolutely astonishing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FE70D5mRp0
The Eagle Has Landed quietly here and the wood stove is getting toasty.
The quiet profoundly owl like in this neck of the woods.
Kopje wicked tuned in to the owl song once the chimney smoke rose.
What a place. :)
BL, nice! :) I'm jealous, too... I haven't had that in-the-cabin-in-the-woods-on-the-mountaintop wood stove smoke curl up my nostrils in a long time now. Memories. I know you, and Pip and Kopje are enjoying, and glad you have the beautiful sky, too! :)

LISA I call those my low energy days LOL Take a nap and fall asleep way too early in the evening. Next day - fine :-* To be honest I never like this fish fry as by the time I get it home it is cold and does not heat up well. I would prefer to eat there in the gym when it is freshly plated. Tim doesn't like to do that. :( :P Cute card for BL

Tig - okay! googled it!
Lani -I googled and now understand the honey/spice recipes and how you can put your own spin on it and make it your own! Thank you for the explanation - I wasn't up on it. :-[ You asked if we have plans for this weekend, but no we don't, and that is sad because my Mom's relatives who live about 2.25 hours away, wanted to come to my house tomorrow on Sunday and visit with my Mom here and have appetizers and then we would all go out to a restaurant to eat. But, my Mom was not up to it, so they are not coming - so, no plans for tomorrow. :(
Phyl - It is different to see a goose in N2B, but at least it is getting used! In 365; all that ice and a beaver pops up!
Nr - So happy for your new job coming on April 1st!!! It sounds perfect for you!! ;D
Karen - How are you & Piper?
Clynn - It's still early and you have plenty of time to get the Munchkin's Easter treats/baskets ready!! ;D Love the hummingbirds!!

Phyl, what unique daisies! Interesting 365, the first part looked like corn flakes floating on the water! ;D 35 right now, high 65 with abundant sunshine and NOT WINDY! I am going to check the hostas and see if they are peeking out! Wow, it won't be long until Eros and Faith are flying around!
Lori, wonderful birthday goodies for BL & Pip! They look so decadent! Hope you and Destini are doing well...
Lani, yay for your Jayhawks! Mike went to bed with a smile ... March Madness coming soon!
baz, are you hoarse today from screaming at the game?
E4E, hope your Mom is feeling better today! I know how you love the get togethers!

Morning all.
this fox is not in my neighborhood...too much snow in the picture.
Today is moving furniture day and I am as ready as I can be...other than to stand by with the vacuum cleaner once the big furniture is moved. Then the process to put it all back again! I got nothing but time so took it slow removing clutter and will take whatever time is needed to put it back.
The lack of snow this season has had me realize just how long our winters really are. No, I ain't complaining. Just a noticing without the need to shovel all the time how much time I have on my hands really. It's still too cold to enjoy the outdoors.

Time's a'wasting Clynn tsk . There are 63 designated national parks, mostly west of the Mississippi.
That's something I might try to check on how many I've been to; never made a list. But never felt any were a waste of a sidetrip. I'm a big proponent of USA travel. Our country is something we all should see and treasure. I have my state count to 45 (but you've heard me mention that before I'm sure). Yeah!!

Royal Albatross - TF chick's mom LGL has been gone a week. It's becoming concerning :(. . Dad LGK has shown up every day with food so far. Rangers are keeping close eye on chick's weight and may help supplement chick's diet to ease dad's burden.

Little skycalls come in little packages. Top Flat chick's beautiful skycall yesterday afternoon.

Feb 24, 2024
LGK has been back every day since TF entered post guard stage on Feb 20th to make sure his chick is okay with being left alone now for periods of time and an overnight. And TF is doing a great job with this big change. LGK returns back late in the afternoon amidst the rain and bad weather at Taiaroa Head/Pukekura to take care of TF. LGK begins a long feeding and then rests for a while and begins a second feeding. LGK will take off for an hour and come back when it was getting dark and he spends the night ♥ This behavior is really heartwarming to watch as his instincts are telling him to keep checking on TF until LGL returns back. What dedication he displays...reminds me of another very special albie Dad who took his parenting role to heart - OGK. ♥ OGK found his way home injured and bleeding and still insisted on feeding Atawhai Pippa even in great pain while he healed. Such great devotion we see from these albie parents! Hurry home LGL ♥ Thank you for watching!

Happy Birthday Pip! enjoy the Lucious Treats posted my Lori! They are so good, you cannot eat just one!
Cold weather with no snow is a great time to work puzzles like tsk, clean house hike. Explore museums, take a road trip and relax! Take some classes. Nice to not have work to do! Sunny cool day here today.
Tsk, have bot looked but wonder how Marquette is doing this year. Long ago they had good basketball teams and were pretty competitive.
Eagles sorry your mother was under the weather and hope she is better!
Mike rested up ?
Vertigo is being treated well. Patient is not compliant! Harder to keep the crystals in place with older folks! I was in great shape when I left the office.
Old Guy, how were tge cards last night? Thank to you and t40 for fun posts!
Lani, worrisome about the mama albie! Good Daddy reminds me of M15! Cute little sloths! Thanks for keeping us current.
Enjoy the rest of the day!

Happy Bird Day Pip - I assume you two are having a blast!
Chris' friend and girlfriend are gone. Meaning, work is done.....Whew. Other than refilling the book case and the tv console...tons and tons of that stuff left. But, I'm done for today and will refill, restuff another day.
Lani - So heartbreaking about Mom albie. Do you happen to know if they have returned in the past after a week gone?...I know the rangers and Dad will have it under control. Just curious.
It's 50 degrees here today. Warmer tomorrow, but snow on Tuesday night. We shall see as they say.
It's so much more pleasant with the seating arrangement in my living room frankly. Am enjoying it except for I won't be able to see Mr. Tower unless I get up off the couch and look....Oh well, I've been documenting them for over 10 years now.

tsk - Good term...low energy days. I have to agree, I like my fish hot, and crispy too. Jeff would be like Tim....bring it home to eat.
Phyl - Thanks on AM kitty. Love your sunny side up eggs on asparagus spears.
oldguy - Good to see you, and thanks for catching us up with the videos. Hope the cards were good to you. :D
clynn - Thanks for the link to: 10 U.S. National Parks You Need To Explore Before You Die
kb - I wish I could get motivated like you. I have alot to declutter in here, and say...one day I am going to do it. ;D
tsk - I see our temps have changed. They said, we would have a couple days in the 60's, but not looking like that now. We are at 39° right now.
Lani - Thanks for the Royal and TRR update/pics.

KB - how is Ollieman dealing with the change?!?
Good question tig.....well, we put him in his kennel for the big move for his and our safety.
What's new for him is he won't be able to sit in my big bay window..he's comfortable now on my couch on the opposite side of the room. Therefore, he won't bark at any ol thing while we are watching tv..
He's been licking my face as I was a titch sweaty. So, he's mostly concerned about his momma.

KAREN I just checked and the Golden Eagles ( Warriors when I was there!) are 20 and 6 and play Xavier 13- 13 this afternoon. Don't know the channel.
Great cards for Pip today Hope they check in when back from vacay!
KB Good after all that rearranging, that you like the new set up. Chris like it too? Aaah was Ollie a reason for the change- the barking?
LISA 59 degrees here right now :o 8)
-
63 down my way tsk
P
-
tsk - no Ollie was not the reason....in fact, we waited a long time considering he likes to sit in the window. More that the tv will be hung on the other wall Wednesday by Best Buy with a new sound bar and the light will be better for the tv. In other words, tv viewing is better.
Chris was the incentive for doing all this, so yes he's happy.
Other benefits as well. Like the room looks better when you walk in my front door etc.
FYI at first we had the furniture like I moved it to now, but changed it to the other side cause the air return was under the couch and moving it to the other side seemed to warm it up.
Benefits/downsides to all, LOL Not to mention it's good to make changes once in awhile.
My mom used to change the furniture around way more than I have....Change in this case is good, for now at least!
-
kb - Glad that you are liking your new arrangement, and Chris, too.
tsk and Puff - Nice temps!
E4E - Cute cake for Pip.
Have a good night, everyone!

BAZI I think I saw you waving :o :o Had to close my eyes for a bit there in the last few minutes. Nice win. Ahead the whole game. Enjoy your hiking tomorrow . :)
...
Now let's see what Kansas can do :D.
TSK, LOL, I wasn't at yesterday's game! Yesterday, UNC played at Virginia - as in Virginia! LOL! So you didn't see me wave yesterday! ;) :D UNC likes to keep their fans on their toes. ::) Yikes! But it was a win, so - Yay! :D I will be driving to my sister's town tomorrow (Monday) in NC - then we will head to the game in Chapel Hill that starts Monday night at 7pm, eastern... So no hiking on my agenda for tomorrow... just highway driving to my sister's, and then to Chapel Hill, and then the game. Yay!! Go Heels! ;) :D
-
Lani, praying for LGL's return... at least we won't have to worry about the chick being fed and monitored! The litle sloths are moving around! Albeit v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y! ;D Hopefully Mike is getting a good rest today, after the Jayhawks win!
Puff, when we lived in the Southwest back in my childhood we used to drive to Bone Gap, IL every summer and stay for the month Dad was on leave. All of Mom's family is around there. We would camp on the 3 day trip and often take side trips to sites of interest and National Parks! It was such fun! Us three girls had the whole back of the station wagon (all of the luggage was on the roof rack.) And then there was Stuckeys, although most of our meals came from the cooler Mom had packed.
tsk, it's 65 here right now, TWC says 78 for next Sunday! All high 50's, 60's and low 70's for the next 2 weeks except for 2/28 which will have a high of 37. :o :o I am going to check some hostas tomorrow, see if any are coming up. Mom said she has daffodils up though not blooming yet. She has a ton of them in the little wooded area behind the house.
Lisa, that latte with the cinnamon on top looks good! If Ed goes somewhere I will have him stop at Starbucks!

She lives in NC, near Chapel Hill, and we will be going to the UNC game in Chapel Hill tomorrow night (Monday night). ;) :D I hope we can win again! Fingers crossed! :D Update...

KB handsome fox; nice to switch the furnishings about for a change
Tsk bright sparkly greeting this AM; 60F is a nice temp this time of year
Puff would be safe to say no other country on this planet has such a diverse landscape, climate and history as ours. My parents were big on us 'seeing America first. Although, international travel is broading and enlightening to the small degree I've done---my parents did a bang up job for us here.
Lani tks for Royal Albie update and news or lack of on momma Royal. :( prayers to St. Francis ; luv the pair of kitty nursery guards
CLynn oh that travel bus!! Awesome Bengal mama and cubs. Daily Bucket-Bluebird house hunting. Cute/fun read TKs for thinking of me. :-* .
Our Easterns are here year 'round. So i'ts just a 'hallow' (no pun) ritual. They just check on the cleanliness and go to work. Activity here won't pick up until well into late March or sometimes early April when Spring arrives for us. They're gonna keep me hopping ;)
Safe travels Bazi for you and your sis.

Pip and I want to thank all off you Beakers for all of the cakes, cards, Happy B-Day wishes and Images ! 8) 8) 8) .
They were all very much appreciated and enjoyed. :) :-*
We're going to spend one more night here at the Catskill Cabin and then roll back home tomorrow at some point.
The weather here has just been so very pleasant this weekend .. ;D
There is hardly any snow on the ground around here which is highly unusual for this area at this time of year so the trails and tracks are a bit muddy.
The mountains, forests and Kill's are early already rolling out their early Spring attitudes.
Pip, Kopje and I sat on a boulder next to a river (or kill) for over an hour (well Kopje didn't really ::) ) this afternoon watching the resident pair of River Otters play like children at X-Mas.
We are so grateful & love it when Mother Nature shares her unbelievable majesty with us ..
Peace Out Beakers.

DUH! A brick just hit me . . BL & PIP your birthdays are a day apart? Convenient arrangement.
Gentleman that he is BL is older ?? LOL
That deserves a double HAPPY HAPPY to yous.
P
Yes Puff mine is the 24th and Pips is the 25th of February.
Pip and I were both born in the same hour on our respective birth dates also .. the 05 dark hour .. Sorry Mom's. :-*
Both years both nights in raging blizzards .. Sorry Dad's :-*
I was her 3rd and last male child. She said she was in labor with me the longest of all 3 of us .. sorry again Mom.
I was wobbling and ambling about at around 9 months banging into every fixed object she said .. :-[
My intention ever since has been to stop doing that until I stop spinning here on this Blue Marble Marvel. ;)
And yes I'm 2 years older than Pip except for the 24 hours when I'm 3 years older than her ..
And she never forgets to remind me of this fact. :-* LOL

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I didn't walk yesterday, but I got in a 31-minute walk today. :)
TSK, thanks. LOL on the doppelganger! It seems I have more than one! :D I agree with you on the fish fry - never as good if I take it home to eat, though it's more about the donation to the cause, of course. But it would be nice to eat it fresh and hot! How is your SIL feeling? Prayers continue - I know she has more ahead, and hope she can get that surgery re-scheduled before long. Hugs.
Phyl, thanks. My Bluebirds are year-round, too. Their activity has really picked up recently :-* - it's almost Spring here! :)
Clynn, wow on Factory Butte! That's pretty spectacular! Gorgeous tigers... I won't be walking that path though. ;) And I sure as "H" "E" Double Hockeysticks WON'T EVER be on that bus!! :o :o I hope you can cover your Hosta tips if they're up, so they don't get hurt by any late frosts or freezes. Everythings starting to really pop here, and yesterday I noticed the Spring green-colored leaves starting to emerge from the very large Weeping Willow tree beside the retention pond next to my place... it looks like the whole tree has had its very, very long branches sprinkled in lime green sequins. The tree pollen count here is now in the moderate-to-high level each day... they don't care what the calendar says! ;) :D
Oldguy, glad you checked in! Thanks for the links. :)
E4E, I hope your mom is feeling better soon, and you can re-schedule that fun time for another weekend. :)
T40, you're back! :D Now wait... am I remembering you were headed for a really nice trip somewhere recently? Is that where you've been? Did I manufacture that memory?
Karen, I hope you can get back to your doc for a quick follow-up treatment for that pesky and severe vertigo! Hugs.
Lisa, glad you could just kick back and relax and rest, and I hope you feel better. :)
Lani, oh gosh... (((LGL))) prayers and :-* :-* for her, and for TF chick, and dad (LGK?). Okay, for All those Royal Alby chicks and parents... and of course the rangers and the staff there. Thanks for the updates on them, and on the sloths and Toucans and all at TRR. I hope Mike is getting re-charged a bit this weekend. :)
Waving to All the Beakers. :)
Have a Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Kb, It's nice you and Chris are enjoying the change. It's nice to be able to reorganize. Sounds like it was a good day and even for Ollie. :) ... Since this is summer, the rangers are very watchful over the nests. Doing daily weigh and making sure chicks are hydrated. Rangers reported Dad LGK has been circling above his chick for a quick check throughout the day. No mom so far.... the nest to the right, mom and dad are both taking turns.
Eagles, cute birthday cake for Pip! How's your mom today? Keeping her in my prayers. :-*
Baz, Safe travels and lots of Tarheel fun with your sister! Good luck! ;D 8) :-*

A scarlet ibis....oh, I love this color!...a shade of fuchsia me thinks....believe it or not, my house color has a base of olive green, gold and fuchsia!...looks dark brown, LOL
Morning all.
Phyl - love the doggo sayings...hmm from human species?...teehee.
Today I will move my books from dining room to living room book case...4 shelves of them. Mostly medical textbooks which I take pride in having even though they are 40 plus years old, heavy, and read from front to back.
Will probably use a tarp to pull them across the carpet this time as boxes are now filled with tv console stuff.
Am holding off on filling that back up, and therefore have use of boxes, in case the installers of tv on the wall need to move it to do their job on Wednesday.
As they say work smart not fast.
A walk will be in order today as getting close to or above 60..Yah

kb, beautiful scarlet ibis! Fascinating cruise ship video!
Phyl, yes, Monday again. and another week slips by... 39 here now, 75 for the high today! Eek! Snow showers Tuesday night! What project are you tackling on your cupboards? Those dogs, I have seen a set of 3 tee shirts with those sayings! I thought about getting them for me and my sisters, but we are so rarely all three together I didn't. Love the 365, I could watch the tide come in for hours...The rhythm of Mother Earth.
Lani, glad Mike is getting rested even if it is cat naps here and there! There is a new home remodeling show on HGTV called Renovation Aloha! I haven't seen it but it sunds like they are going to talk a lot about their heritage and culture and their 87 cousins! https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/renovation-aloha-tristyn-kamohai-kalama-on-hgtv-s-new-show-set-in-hawaii/ar-BB1iu772
E4E, I love fish, especially salmon cooked on the grill with Tone's Rosemary & Garlic seasoning! Pair that with fresh asparagus and a nice salad and it's a perfect meal. Do you cook yours on the grill? If you always cook fish on Fridays you probably have some good recipes! This made me think of you and Kris!

BL, sounds like you and Pip and Kopje had a wonderful birthday weekend! So how did Pip get to 4 more National Parks than you? :O:O:, you are 3 years older than Pip for 24 hours! I am 2 years older than my middle sister for 6 months, and she reminds me often. It's great that you can celebrate your birthdays together! Are you both retired?
baz, most of my hostas are covered with leaves, I ask the leaf people to cover them all before taking the leaves away. I am going to take a peak today! Mom said hers weren't coming up yet so I am betting that mine are not up yet. Her flowers are usually a couple of weeks ahead of mine. Have fun at the game and safe travels! Don't forget your blowhorn!
A 500-1000 year old oak tree in Fredville Park, UK. Oaks of 500+ years old are some of the most precious habitat there is, home to thousands of species.

PUFF Right on 39 now heading to 69 later today.
BL Sounds like a wonderful restful time for you both. More folks need that nature experience. Pretty cool about your and Pip's similarities/birth etc Thanks for sharing. Suspect you both might have us all beat in national parks.
KAREN Yes, Sr. Jean is still cheering Loyola on. I think she wrote a book! Good luck at ENT tomorrow.
PHYL Dogs and rules ;D ;D
KB Scarlet ibis is stunning. I love that color as well. Were you able to purge significantly? Gave away all my medical books eons ago. How amazing is that port of Miami. Unbelievable.
CLYNN LOVE those cute lavendar ladies. :) I'd like to look for that Reno Aloha Saw it advertised but then forgot. Cute crockpot :D A hobbit tree ;) ;)

Here's something to get to some day - The Bay of Fundy.
Their tides vary about 45' to 50' - That's Feet!! There's an inlet between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Good to go before the waters go down, then when the bottom of the ocean is totally walkable (but muddy/sandy) you can look for and collect souvenirs from bottom of the ocean. ;D NEATO!! There's about 4-5 hour window to watch so you don't get caught in a super bath. Also, along the beach there are some ladder methods to get up and down to land.
If you're ever in the area (maybe fall leaves time) try to get there.
P
-
tsk - I did throw away some novels and non fiction I no longer wanted but no on the medical books.
Under the tv console I also threw stuff....lastly, I moved some vases, Scott's flag to our basement bedroom, and other trinkets.
Not a big purge, but did go through what I have in that room.
Where I still need a big purge, with help, is in my garage, the attic over my garage, and Scott's shop still.
Also a 4th bedroom downstairs... oh and closets of course.
One room at a time!
clynn - very old oaks....I dislike so much my city cuts down old oaks for apartments. I actually live in an oak grove...so many removed, even those not dying..wish we were more like Europe in that sense.
I can still see remnants of our oak grove. One across the street from me, one just up the street. and now 2 gone from Lunds parking lot for apartments.grr

Clynn, a next door neighbor on Springfield had a bed of hostas between her porch and my deck and one of them had large purple flowers thar had the most wonderful scent! She had no idea what it was or who planted them but if I lived in the right climate I would research them and plant a bunch!
I feel fine just limited in movements which bring on the whirlies!

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Gets To Meet TFT For 1st Time! 🐥 Shares Affectionate Preening w/ BOK 💕 2.25.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4w-uKxWgKQ
Feb 25, 2024
Dad LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning he gave two feedings. At the nest to the right TFT BOK flew in for another changeover with WYL. The coverage begins with LGK getting up and walking to the cam and giving us some great closeups! LGK is one handsome dude!! 💕 After several minutes of admiring himself for the camera, he heads over to TF who is not interested in another feeding at that time.
LGK walks over to BOK who is sitting on the nest and he reaches over and gives her some affectionate preening. He also does a playful nip at her feathers. They have a friendly neighborly interaction (no he is not disloyal to LGL by preening another female!) :) Albatross mate for life and very loyal and dedicated to their partner. Even when a partner dies, it can takes years before the bereaved albatross will start to find a new mate. LGK is just being neighborly 💕
BOK gets up and LGK gets to see TFT and touch it with his bill - sort of like the elephants that touch a new born ellie with their trunks! Very tender moment. Looks like both WYL and BOK will be good neighbors to LGK & LGL. ♥ LGK gets up and has a beautiful departure over the water! Hurry home LGL we miss you! Thank you for watching!
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk
Health check for TF chick on left and TFT nest on the right of screen.

LISA Very delicate AM vase of springness ;D
LORI Around here jumping from fall to spring is more like it :o :o Puff pastry horns - YUM ;D
KAREN The game is at 6 PM CST I have Comcast and the channel is 173 or ESPNHD
LANI What a sweet Albie report. It's a good neighborhood LOL
KB Like LANI All my books go to our library. They have 2 book sales/year.

Lori - The Cream Horns look delicious, but your wording about buttery and crispy made me think of this oldie, but goodie. Jeff and I laugh our heads off, and its a running joke in our house. ;D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIrQ9ilL8aw
Puff - Thanks for all the goodies reminders. The KK's is not a bad deal.
((karen))
Lani - Thank you :-* Thanks for the Royal update.
tig - Sounds like you have a busy day planned.
tsk - Thanks, they caught my eye on Pinterest this morning. :)

I've donated hundreds of books already in years past....I only threw away some of my things like Preparing for the State Board etc...and how to sue in small claims court!...LOL....the few novels I threw won't be missed.
I still have tens if not hundreds more to go in various places....including an entire set of Encyclopedias. Maybe someday? Was a book reader my whole life.
Took a nap today. Much needed after not getting a good night sleep last night with shoulder pain.
Much better at the moment.

Kb lovely scarlet ibis; the ibises that were 'sacred' to ancient Egyptians were white. Although their murals show some as black. They sacrificed ibises by the millions, murdering and mummifying the sacred birds as tributes to Thoth (pronounced like “oath,” with a “th” at the beginning), who also oversaw justice, magic and the judgment of the dead.
CLynn just some tiding up and tossing----'purging' as TSK says. May take a break tomorrow and then finish up later in week. Oh! That slo-cooker is perfect for E4E/Kris. Awesome ancient oak---makes me think of what Harry and Hermione saw The Forest of Dean ? Lavender Ladies be perfect near one's bed at night.
Tsk was thinking Sr. Jean still attended the games :-\
Puff ;)
Tig a nice swim sounds great.
Lori Now Destini :) and goodness those Italian Cream Stuffed Cream Horns. !
Bazi don't for get the sign and a selfie
{{Karen}} tks for notes the Doc visit---glad you're doing okay. Maybe this adjustment will last

PHYL Beautiful fly way tonight.
72 degrees today and we smashed the previous record of 64. Tomorrow 76 is a record high and we may just tie it - Then the severe storms are predicted tomorrow night. Topsy- turvy weather. Normal average high is 40 degrees.

We had 74 - which isn't counted. :'(
I think we should either get the record or tie tomorrow.

Phyl - Thank you - yes, I hope my Mom will be better for the next get-together with family! :)
Lani - I heard from my mom briefly today; where she was saying that something we ordered for her from Amazon is not right and needs to be sent back.
Kb - The big furniture move takes place Wednesday - right? Just wondering if I have the date correct. Gorgeous pic of Scarlet Ibis! Wow! The cruise ships leaving port! ::)
Clynn - I have a box of frozen 'Morey's Alaskan Salmon' - marinated and individually packed from Costco. I have also bought from Raley's Nob Hill; Alaskan Halibut. The Morey's I do not do anything, but set it on a baking sheet! When I buy fish that I need to spice, I will use 'Old Bay', and a little peppered garlic and will bake it on a buttered baking tray. It's all good!! I love that vw bus with the yummy dinner inside - so cute!!!!! ;D Wow- the 500 - 1000 yr old Oak tree is totally amazing-can't believe the diameter of the massive trunk! :o
Tsk - My Mom used to have medical books and self-help, but she too, gave them away or sold them at a yard sale!
Tig - Sound like a fun trip is being planned for this summer!
Lori - Destini is so pretty! She has a look that says she owns it!! Lol! :)
LisaG - My Mom must be feeling better as she keeps getting more spunky/demanding! ;D
Puff - Had not heard that about buffalo wild wings - usually our local news will advertise stuff like that. ::)
Lani - Thank you for Albatross update!
Karen - Hope you & Piper are having a nice evening.
Puff - Nice warm temp for your area today!
Beakers have a good night.

I'm late this morning! Computer did something weird and I had to consult my tech!
Phyl, oh that bad dog! ;D Good Blog from Amy, love all the pics! How funny that HD is taking nesting materials from N1! Sure wish they would have stayed at N1... Cute Good Morning owl! 47 here now, high 64 for today. Record breaking 78 yesterday! High 37 tomorrow. Then back up to 77 by Sunday! Like a roller coaster... Gorgeous sunset on the Flyway!
Lani, so relieved to hear that LGL is back! She sure looks happy with the chick under her, hope she rests for a while now! Such a good Alby community. Cute Pepper video!
E4E, do you have a Kohl's near you? That's where I take Amazon returns now, you just need to designate in your item in Amazon that you are returning to Kohl's and show them the form with the bar code when you drop the item off, you can just take it in a bag.
tsk, yes, we are getting the one crappy day tomorrow, then back to the record setting temps! You are just a bit behind us with what is heading east! 78 yesterday, so nice!
Lisa, that commercial take is so funny, I had to laugh when she screwed it up also!

Well, baz I did find and watch your team. Why NC? Your school or family connection?
First half low scoring, but picked up tone the second half. Got just crazy at the end. Liked watching their two little guys (racing around little guys/rabbits), exciting play by #4 and #2, Davis and Cadeau. What year are they? Hope you get more time with them in other years.
Looked all through the stands for you and the sign. 8) I'm sure I finally found you. You were the one wearing the blue sweatshirt, right? :P

Morning all.
Eagles4 - The big furniture was all moved and done on Sunday with the help of Chris' friends. BTW he and girlfriend brought moving straps, the kind you put under furniture and then wrap around your waist, and a huge dolly. Nobody was injured!
Wednesday (tomorrow now) the Best Buy installers will mount a large tv on the now empty wall plus a new soundbar.
My walls are old plaster....let's hope they know what they are doing and how to find a stud! Not sheetrock. Plaster is much better imho, but it chips/breaks easily if you don't know what you are doing
Lani - Oh that makes me feel very happy that Mom came back home after 9 whole days!...Woot Woot.

I slept upstairs in the real bed last night. My joints feel better.

Sue Bruhling - Breaking News in Decorah!!!!! - Decorah Hatchery Eagles - February 25, 2024
Our Friend & Photographer Steven Smith went over to Decorah on Sunday and look what he found!!!!!! Dude/HD & Missy/HM INCUBATING at their New Nest, N5 on the other side of the Bluff!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ They have Eggs! Oh! Happy Day!!!! 🙂 The incubation period for these eggs is approximately 35 days. Although we don't know the exact days that they were laid we will have some kind of an idea counting 35 days from February 25 which would be March 30th! Also, I wonder if the warmer weather might affect the incubation period this year as bald Eagle Incubation in the southern states tend to be shorter due to the warmer weather! 😉 Thank You! Steven Smith for sharing the Big News and Pictures with us! ❤

Dang -- I've been thinking of getting this news. I couldn't believe someone wasn't keeping eyes on the secret hiding place and that there wasn't anything to report to us patient followers. I don't think I've ever met this Steve Smith - and he may not know of my special Puff hugs - but I genuinely give him a hug. Let the Decorah tradition continue and be successful.

Thanks for the reports from Sue B. and S. smith! They have been out scouting and bringing us news of what started it all! Our beloved Decorah Mom! Wonder if Bob A. Would have managed to get a camera on her nest! Also kinda think

CLYNN I'm glad Steve got a pic of the N5 nest before the trees leafed out - No chance then! Just found on Google that a female will have 20 years of egg laying ( so to age 25) If we first saw Mom Decorah at age 5 around 2011-12 and add 20 to that , she could be close? to no longer being fertile?
LANI Nice AM pic :D

Just found on Google that a female will have 20 years of egg laying ( so to age 25) If we first saw Mom Decorah at age 5 around 2011-12 and add 20 to that , she could be close? to no longer being fertile?
Tsk Mom Decorah arrived at N1 in December of 2007 at the age of 4.
How that age of 4 was determined I'm not sure.
That would make her 21 maybe 22 years old in 2024. ;)
I found this info here: https://eaglesorg.wpengine.com/what-we-do/educate/learn-about-eagles/bald-eagle-biology/
What is the lifespan of a bald eagle & how long can they reproduce?
• The life span of eagles in the wild is generally around 30 years. The longest that any Bald Eagle has been known to live in the wild is 39 years. In captivity, they may live over 50 years due to fewer hazards and veterinary care.
• About 50 percent died during the first year due to their inexperience at meeting the dangers of living in the wild. After their first year, about 90 percent survive each year.
• Eagles are thought to be able to reproduce throughout their lifespan, but little documentation is available.
One eagle has been documented successfully raising young in her 26th year.
In conclusion: I guess Mom Decorah has more good years left of egg laying under her tail feathers yet to go. :) 8)
I got the DE nest history from here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/
About the Decorah Eagles >
A Brief History of the Decorah Eagles: OM (Original Mom), Dad, Mom, DM2, HM, and HD >
• 2007: N0 (Nest Zero) is destroyed during a storm. Dad and OM begin building a new nest (N1) in the yard of a home just north of the hatchery. OM disappears in early fall.
2007: A four-year old female (Mom) joins Dad at N1 in early December.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorah_Bald_Eagles
The Decorah Eagles became an Internet phenomenon and the most viewed live-stream of all time when the website reached 250 million views on Ustream in 2011, with roughly 2.4 million views per day. Ustream began hosting the video feed in 2011,
although the live-cam was initiated in 2007, and was used to provide footage for the PBS Nature documentary "American Eagle'" released in 2008.
In May 2020 the eagles were featured in NOVA's documentary "Eagle Power".
I believe N1 was originally filmed from the loft of the barn by Neil Rettig in the Winter of 2007 and Spring of 2008.
I think the 1st camera was actually installed in the N1 Cottonwood tree in the Fall of 2008. ?
The N1 web camera didn't go out live to "the masses" on the internet via Ustream until some point in 2011.
2011 is when most here started watching the Decorah Eagles. :) 8)

Glad y'all enjoyed the Miss. Flyway sunrise this morning---a bit different.

Yep, I dead headed 9 hydrangea plants starting at 10:30 and pruned 3 of them....took me 2 hours..Lots of dead flowers and I only pruned the 3 very large ones..With today's wind I thought it prudent to not have to find them all over my yard!
Now it's snow/ice on my decks and getting very cold.
The installers are coming tomorrow between 2:30 and 6:30 so at least by then it will be up to 20!

The next prognosticator is does March come in like a lion or a lamb ?
Very Wet, Very Muddy and Way Too Warm here in February.

Deadly Bird flu found in mainland. Antarctica for the first time! It is threatening the lives of Penguins .
Phyl, thanks for continuing to share the results of your research!
Clynn, sweet Harley! Mi hope the eventual introduction of the Kitties goes well. When is the spay day? Soon, I am thinking!
Bl! Good info and I trust you and Pip are home. I am reminded the. Experts said eaglesonly lay one clutch a year, until they did and do! Come on, DM! 😉
Lani, good captures of the geese! Your am picture has great composition! Suitable for framing!

It went from summer at 3pm (74) today to winter by 7pm (32) - heading for 14 by morning and high of 35 for Wed. Winds 20 to 30 starting at 3pm. Wind chill at 5 and air temp of 18 as it is approaching midnight. We missed out on the rain/snow and storms - they all started up in Mo. and Ill. this afternoon and evening and missed us by about 80 miles.
Cards were good on Sat. 3 - close games - won 2 out of 3.
Ordered a new Range yesterday - the old one (1995) was not maintaining proper temps anymore. - should be installed in 1 to 2 weeks.

Busy day today, Sophie goes in this morning for her spay procedure and they both get their second injection of the Feline Combo vaccination (for FHV-1, FCV, FPV, rabies, and FeLV}. Then I have a dentist appointment, then Ed has a dentist appointment. Then a meeting with our Financial Advisor and finally to pick Sophie up after 2:00. All this on the coldest day! 9 degrees right now, high of 35. Then it will be 79 on Sunday!
tsk, wow, some bad weather there! None of that here, the wind has actually calmed down. No snow at all (they kept predicting it!}
Phyl, not good news for Grindavik... Thanks for Amy's Blog. I would love to see a golden eagle! I have onlky ever seen the one they have at The National Eagle Center. Very interesting bird sculpture!
oldguy, you are right, from summer to winter...and then back to summer! Crazy! Thanks for the links, will watch them a bit later this morning.
Lani, yes, when I joined the forum it was 2011, you and calhound were already there, and it was called The Decorah Lounge then. I lurked for a few months and then jumped in! It was also the year we watched Jewell on the NABC bear cam. I think Iremember when we were watching the 3rd egg hatch in Decorah there were over 130,000 viewers all over the world! It was on Ustream then. Bob had no idea what he had started back then. It was a good thing. Love all those little dogs lined up for bedtime!
BL, glad to hear you and Pip made it back to home base!
Sneaky devils. Wood Ducks.

From the Kruger Natonal Park
Brrr......thought about you last night tsk when I looked at radar....glad it all worked out at your abode.
oldguy - thanks for sharing that info on your new range.....Very interesting looking. Please let us know how you end up liking it or not after install. I have a much older one and know someday it will need replacement.
My range was old when I bought my house in 1999...so I have no idea how old it is. Knocking on wood. It's a gas oven/stove and I love it. Self cleaning too so I think it might be a Sears brand?...the only thing that doesn't work on it is the clock.
Ah, I see it's a Kenmore continuous cleaning solid state ignition range..long liver!
Off to start a crockpot meal...Later

Yep, not a good night around Chi Town.
They'll make decisions on the several possible reports of tornadoes. They alerted us all day long, but always hard to see and deal with. As tsk said it stayed north and west of the main corridor. I actually felt at the beginning that it was going to e north of me, maybe just rain. Nope, I got lots of hail and lots of rain; a bit too scary amount of popcorn-sized hail beating on the mansion. Two worst areas mentioned and shown on morning news was Geneva and Lake and East Chicago burbs. Temperatures also took a big dive. Before the front slipped in it was about 73 - Got up this morning to a brisk 28. Under the afghan last night.
Just to mention/remind ya'll - tsk and I are about 20 miles apart.

Yep... I stayed under the covers this morning. No going out and risking walking on ice for me. I'll be watching the memorial and prossesion for the murdered first responders on TV later this morning.

Royal Albatross - 2/27 Weigh day with Colin
This is the first weighing for Top Flat chick without a parent in attendance. Colin is very steady with slow movements to reassure chick its okay.
At 35 days old TF chick weighed 2.2kg slightly down from last weeks 2.3kg. LGL will feed chick later on.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1762420721077326250
It's Top Flat Track chick's turn with Mom BOK, and
guess what? At 27 days old TFT chick weighed the same as TF, 2.2kg up from 1.4kg last week.
Also WYL came in & LGK was in for a brief pitstop.
Sharyn's update will be shared later tomorrow. Cheers!

Pretty dang moving ceremony Tig.....I know that church and it's full...plus full in other churches. Think it seats thousands of people. :(

CLYNN WOW You two are really busy today. Just like you having to get to doc appts and then it snows - At least no snow but bone chilling cold today. I can say that our first camping spot as a family to see if Mom and Dad liked tent trailer camping ( borrowed from a friend of Mom's) was at Sylvan Lake ;D. We bought their trailer and the rest is history and is how we saw lots of the USA as kids.
KB We were very lucky and have dodged a lot of bullets. Nothing like a tasty pot roast all in one meal. ;)
PUFF Glad to hear your power hung in there. Pretty bad path of ruin. One guy on the news went out to his car on the street and it was turned in the opposite direction from how he parked it. Windows blown out. :o We just had a small bit of hail - not very big.
TIG - Would love to see your itinerary for this marvelous trip!! B.L.L ? Glad that person came through stent placement OK Hope there was no actual muscle damage to the heart. Looks like a very teary memorial. :'(
OLDGUY Cool card to EROCK ;D
LANI That is one busy Mama with all those pups. 10? :o :o The ranger was so slow and gentle Awww
-
OOPs... fixed it TSK.... my S.I.L. brother. I fixed it to read B.I.L.
sent you an email
-
tig - Where are you off to now? I wanna be like you when I grow up! ;D
kb - That looks delicious! My potatoes never come out looking like that tho. Mine look more like mush...lol. I must be doing something wrong.
oldguy - WOW, is that eagle real w/cupcake, if not it sure looks it.
Lani - It was good to see HD. :D Thanks for the Royal update.
Misty never looked that happy with her kitties, as the doggie does with her pups. Misty had that look like, "What am I supposed to do with these?" ;D

tig - Glad Bro's BIL got a good report.
tsk - I bet that was some shock for the guy with his car. Glad to hear you did not get big hail.
-
Lisa - try cooking whole yukon potatoes and cutting them after it's all cooked. To prevent the mushiness.
-
Tsk so glad you didn't have much hail . I'm sure dreading the tornado season that come with spring here in the south. >:( :(
Always being on alert and half packed
CLynn you're a busy gal today; hope all goes well at dentist's, Sophie/Sam behave for her vacc's and no probs with Sophie's snip-snip;
I saw Golden Eagles all the time growing up in the Mojave Desert, So Cal. They were always seen over head and no one dared leave their pets roam. From time to time we could look out our dinning room window and see one or maybe two perched on our fence .
Same for me in 2014..I remember just hanging around the threads and getting a 'feel' of it all and learning lots; the days when we had The Decorah Lounge ; watching Jewell /cubs on bear cam. And, it all was on Ustream .
Sneaky wood ducks LOL; awesome photo of Sylvan Lake in Custer Star Park, South Dakota
Puff tks for the reminder on locations for you and Tsk---you were in a rough path w/ the weather---electricity held ;)
Tig moving ceremony; glad you BIL got good news and all
Lisa Misty and her litter ---she was so cute w/that puzzled look on her face
KB had pot roast Monday dinner :) in doing so, got me thinking time for more chili
Lani tks for the Royal Albie update---the rangers are a wonder

Will not repeat all that has been said except that I had a range that looked like yours old guy but it was a dual fuel, gas burners and electric oven, broiler! Kenmore. Great appliance! No gas here so back to all electric!
Hot today! Glad you ladies dodged the bullet nut that story about the car is pretty amazing!
I too love the proud look of mama dog and all her children! The look on Misty's face tells the story! She did good though! Lisa do u hear from the children? Hope all are doing well! Has Misty settled into domestic life abd srevm and b getting along well,
Clynn, let us know how Sofie does! That is A lot with surgery and shots all at once! Wow! Your littler adventuresome explorer may be laid low for a few days!
-
LISA That pic of Misty is a stitch! ;D ;D
PHYL Technically it's unheard of to get tornados in this area in February. Wisconsin has already had one as well. Lots of records being broken this "winter".
LORI Our "treats" gal. Always delicious ;D
Winds were brutal today. Was out twice. Big parka and hood.

comments on over cooked potatoes in slow cooker...
This is the unit that I use - it has a dial that rotates to select temp. Made in the early 1980s
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1683809285/vintage-west-bend-slow-cooker-autumn?
4 hours for vegies is about perfect time in a slow cooker - I like roast beef at about 8 hours.
I set my temp so the water in bottom is about 200-210. I did a roast for Sat. night and started it at 9am for 5:30 serving. I added potatoes and carrots at 1:30pm. Everything comes out great - meat temp was 175 to 185 - firm enough to slice, but I could cut it with my fork to eat. Carrots were done - most I could use a fork to stab and remove from pot without breaking them. Potatoes were fork tender and mashable. I don't own a newer crock pot with the 4 position temp switch, so I don't know what temp they cook at on high or low.
This is the pot I do my chili in...

Kb - Do you mean cook them whole in the crockpot with roast? Do you peel yours like in the pic when cooking?
Phyl - She still gives us that look sometimes, but she knows she is loved.
Lori - Hey girl...how are ya?
karen - Here is a pic of Sydney that B & K posted today. They put pigtails in her hair, but the one with both tails was blurry. I thought this pic was cute. ;D
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53558434801_d91db29f7a_c.jpg)
tsk - That is one of my favorite pics of Misty & kittens. I see the winds are going to pick up here in the next few hours. I don't think they are supposed to be as bad as yours, tho.
oldguy - Thanks for the info!
Good night, everyone!
-
Lisa - I don't peel my Yukons just wash with a vegetable scrubber....yes, cook whole or if they are large cut in halves or quarters...I cooked it all together today and was all good at 6 hours on low.
I only had 1 1/2 pounds of roast meat but followed the recipe otherwise the same..
I should say, like oldguy, I could cut my carrots and meat with a fork, and I cut the potatoes in smaller pieces and they weren't mushy but cuttable with a fork or spoon.

KB... Yum

TIG Very impressive ceremony. RIP :'(
PHYL Tornados are very common in Ill. We have a tornado belt where they are most likely to occur.
We shall see about those hurricanes... ???
-
Tsk I sorta thought tornadoes were common in Illinois . There's such a belt that runs thru the MidWest down to the South. I really don't like spring in Tenn because of them. And, didn't like it in Mo for same reason.
CLynn how's Miss Sophie? I'm concerned.
Tig tks. that's some procession. And, well deserved too. ;)
Lisa like Karen, is Sydney standing on her own?
I have never cooked on a gas stove/oven. Except in my parents mountain cabin near Idyllwild, Ca. Nah---I'll take all electric appliances
Dinner tonight: meatloaf w/tomato sauce; baby red mashed potatoes, peas and carrots. And, a garden salad

Beautiful birthday greetings from everyone for Eaglesrock and Sydney! ;D
Tig, looks like it was a very teary and well-attended memorial. I'm so sorry for their loss. :'( ... I send prayers for Bro's BIL.
Lisa, we have to give Misty some slack here being a first time mom at such a young age. The pic shows she's in shock and looking at you for guidance. ;D :-*
oh my, Miss Sydney is growing! Love that smile and those eyes. Thanks for posting. :-*
Oldguy, thanks for the tips. I'm going to make a pot roast tomorrow. All this talk is making me hungry.
Phyl, crazy weather everywhere. Thanks for weather info. Beautiful good night pic!
T40, thanks for the story to the Wildlife cams. I caught a few snaps from Africam Rosie's Pan. I hadn't watched that cam in a few years.
Eagles, beautiful sunset .... take care :-*
Good night from Rosie's Pan!
I've never seen so many Lions taking a rest at Rosie's Pan! One male King surrounded by his harem and cubs.
A couple of the females look pregnant.

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Gets To Meet TFT For 1st Time! 🐥 Shares Affectionate Preening w/ BOK 💕 2.25.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4w-uKxWgKQ
Feb 25, 2024
Dad LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning he gave two feedings. At the nest to the right TFT BOK flew in for another changeover with WYL. The coverage begins with LGK getting up and walking to the cam and giving us some great closeups! LGK is one handsome dude!! 💕 After several minutes of admiring himself for the camera, he heads over to TF who is not interested in another feeding at that time.
LGK walks over to BOK who is sitting on the nest and he reaches over and gives her some affectionate preening. He also does a playful nip at her feathers. They have a friendly neighborly interaction (no he is not disloyal to LGL by preening another female!) :) Albatross mate for life and very loyal and dedicated to their partner. Even when a partner dies, it can takes years before the bereaved albatross will start to find a new mate. LGK is just being neighborly 💕
BOK gets up and LGK gets to see TFT and touch it with his bill - sort of like the elephants that touch a new born ellie with their trunks! Very tender moment. Looks like both WYL and BOK will be good neighbors to LGK & LGL. ♥ LGK gets up and has a beautiful departure over the water! Hurry home LGL we miss you! Thank you for watching!

Kb lovely scarlet ibis; the ibises that were 'sacred' to ancient Egyptians were white. Although their murals show some as black. They sacrificed ibises by the millions, murdering and mummifying the sacred birds as tributes to Thoth (pronounced like “oath,” with a “th” at the beginning), who also oversaw justice, magic and the judgment of the dead.
I'm so lucky! White Ibis are at the retention pond next to my building every day. Big long, curved beak... like an oil rig... up and down in the dirt, all the live long day! There is one in particular one, here daily, solo, except for his good buddy, the Great Egret. :D :D :-* :-* :-*

TSK... I was following the bus, as it was on my route for about 5 blocks, and was pulling away from me after I reached 35 m.p.h.
Very sore hip tonight after sitting most of the 4.5 hours in laundry room on regular chair and 2 hours at BWW on regular chair. Pain pills didn't help much. Hmmm
SED
I don't know what BWW is (is that something most people know?), or what your cause of hip pain is, but I know hip pain of any kind - arthritic, or otherwise - is no fun. I hope you feel better soon. ((Hugs))

Did anyone see Baz at the North Carolina game? What a great game! They won 75-71. I bet Baz was enjoying every second!! ;D
Former Coaches Roy Williams and Larry Brown were present. Both coached at KU too!
Eagles, glad your back is feeling a better and back to her spunky self! She sounds like Lisa's mom! ;D
Tsk, The TFT family keeps a close eye the TF chick.. How is your SIL?
Phyl, beautiful sunset at Flyaway cam! Interesting info about the ibises

P.S. Lani, there is so much connection between my UNC Tarheels, and your and Mike's KU Jayhawks! I have followed our intersecting basketball team histories for years! ;D We could hate each other's team history with some of that, or relish the connection. I'm relishing it. But just so you and Mike know... ;D ... if we meet in the NCAA Tourney, you know where I stand. ;) :D :D ;D ;D ;D 8)

Well, baz I did find and watch your team. Why NC? Your school or family connection?
First half low scoring, but picked up tone the second half. Got just crazy at the end. Liked watching their two little guys (racing around little guys/rabbits), exciting play by #4 and #2, Davis and Cadeau. What year are they? Hope you get more time with them in other years.
Looked all through the stands for you and the sign. 8) I'm sure I finally found you. You were the one wearing the blue sweatshirt, right? :P
P
Puff, you're hilarious!!! ;D ;D ;D I was not wearing a sweatshirt. I am waiting for my sister to send me the pics of us at the game with the UNC mascot, Ramses, the Fighting Ram. I will share a pic here when I get it. ;) :D I went to school there, at UNC-Chapel Hill, as did my siblings and father. Our blood runs Carolina Blue, as the saying goes. ;D ;) :D

CLYNN Awww Harley
TSK, you're being judicious! My nails are mostly gone!!! But we had a total blast at the game! Theres's so much good, and fun, stuff that happens on the court - during the breaks and halftime - that doesn't appear on TV. Great fun the whole time! :D I'm so glad your Margaret is getting out some. Hugs. :-* :-*

Sue Bruhling - Breaking News in Decorah!!!!! - Decorah Hatchery Eagles - February 25, 2024
Our Friend & Photographer Steven Smith went over to Decorah on Sunday and look what he found!!!!!! Dude/HD & Missy/HM INCUBATING at their New Nest, N5 on the other side of the Bluff!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ They have Eggs! Oh! Happy Day!!!! 🙂 The incubation period for these eggs is approximately 35 days. Although we don't know the exact days that they were laid we will have some kind of an idea counting 35 days from February 25 which would be March 30th! Also, I wonder if the warmer weather might affect the incubation period this year as bald Eagle Incubation in the southern states tend to be shorter due to the warmer weather! 😉 Thank You! Steven Smith for sharing the Big News and Pictures with us! ❤

And the local temps continue E4E. . .
Tuesday (2/27) our record high is 75, made it to 73. Almost! Darien made it to 76.
Today (2/29) our record low is 12, made it to 20. Darien this morn down to 15.
They call it lake effect!?!? Again, tsk follows closer to the official figures because she'd close to O'Hare. My numbers seldom agree with ORD or TSK.
Don't recall any rain totals.

baz, wow, you were up most of the night catching up! Love the story of your Dad and his alumni jacket tradition, you had to know he smiled down on all of you at his funeral. I am so glad you all had a great time at the game! I understand the note your sister slipped into your Dad's pocket! Hope you get the picture today!
tig, I had to Google BWW!
Lani, love that picture of the lion and his harem! Wow, he has a big harem, several of them look pregnant! And they are all sleeping, maybe the kids have worn them out!
Phyl, cute little Japanese Flying Squirrel! Sydney was close to being a Leapling! Sophie wasn't wiped out at all, she started wrestling with Sam as soon as she got home! They sent a fabric covered e-collar and had it off 2 seconds after we tied it on. I ordered a onesie, it will be here before noon. But she doesn't seem to be bothering her incision much. Was Maggie as young as Sophie, (almost 4 months old)? She has always been a ball of energy, trying to her is like trying to hold jello! 25 here now, high 56 today. Much better day than yesterday! Climbing to 78 by Sunday! Not so good hurricane season news! Thanks for the Leap Year article!
E4E, just one appointment today! Sophie is just fine, she started the rough housing almost immediately when she got home! I put her in our bedroom by herself for a while and she calmed down. My plan was to have one confined to each floor for the night, but Sam and her were meowing at each other at the bedroom door, so I let him in. They were good and went to sleep together. They are still up there sleeping I hope, I haven't heard anything (they are right above me).
Lori, your Birthday treats for Sydney look delish!!
Lisa, I love that picture of Sydney, she is a beautiful baby, those eyes are so pretty!
oldguy, you are a chef! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

PUFF Don't have my rain gauge out yet and also did not hear of our rain totals. Hard to keep up with all the records.
CLYNN Such sweet pics of Sidney with the kids. LOL That Sophie is a handful. I remember back when we had Lucy spayed she never bother the incision either. WOW what a view " Heaven's Gate"
KB Love the ID red spot on sandhill head.

Wow!..just got to say. I have missed hearing music in my house.
Now listening to my favorite classical music piece: "Scottish Fantasy" by Bruch.
Never heard it sound this good.
Soundbar and subwoofer attached to tv is phenomenal listening. We can just pull up apple music app on tv and play any piece of music in all genres...
Very cool!...I can probably discard my old surround sound receiver and cd disc changer!...or, hang on to them cause one "never knows"!...LOL

Eaglesrock! Sorry about missing your Birthday but hope it was special! Eagles, after I wrote greetings to you I knew it was wrong but got busy here and forgot to correct it! Even though it was not your birthday, I hope you had a good day!
Clynn, looks like Sydney had a day full of lovin spoonfuls! Sofie is something! Good for her!
Cooler here today. 51 now going to 67! Back to the 70s soon! Too hot!
Had problems with a fairly new printer and had the Geek squad here! As I suspected, dried out ink! I ordered ink delivered in yhe am so when he got here I was prepared if that was the issue. He also changed it to wireless so I can print from the i pad! Better as I cannot see well on the laptop! Darn.
May do early voting today!

Hi everyone Sharyn's latest update from Feb 27. It contains interesting info about the health checks recently done on the colony's chicks including TF chick and TFT chick.

Top Flat Track nest
BOK and WYL discuss post-guard timing? WYL: I'm not convinced. Sits on TFT again. BOK always checks on Top Flat chick too, either before leaving or returning from trip.

TsK.... It is a model A club. They do this "run" every 4 years to prove that a 94 year old car is still wonderful. It is fun for the public to see them ... especially in the cold of winter (model As do not have heat). They gather for coffee and rolls and then they drive to the next community where they make a stop for some special site or event. Then, they drive elsewhere and stop for lunch. All of this is secret and just planned by a couple of the members. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/land-of-10000-stories/model-a-fords-greet-winter-once-every-four-years/89-3d9c0b05-42fd-4337-94b5-90079e2186c2&ved=2ahUKEwisuvGCptGEAxXmHEQIHUAzAR0QFnoECBMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3s8p0SqhyNXiBDTIB5V5pT
Sorry for the long link... I'm on my phone.

Careful KB "just in case" mostly ends piled up "stuff" collections. And I have to have a lot of nerve to even mention that cuz. . .
Computers :-\ There are 3 pathways to scan and email with my equipment. Haven't solved that one in a couple weeks. Hope to fix soon or it's a call to my PC MD.
tsk I'm taking a chance tomorrow on unplugging the plug on my heated bird bath and filling the regular one. Sounds like a bad idea; if I do that we'll have more deep temperatures come back. Warm enough for big fountain, too. But that will take time and cleaning/scrubbing. :(

Exactly, Puff...I sorta said that tongue and cheek....I have still so much to throw I would need one of those dumpsters....one day ;)
If I was a great Mom I'd do that ASAP.....I'm trying however, and some of this is just related to how much energy I have given Scott died....I'm working on it slowly now though.

For me, intense grief gets better over time, but never ever gets that much better. :) Contrary to what they say, it never goes away. One just puts one foot in front of the other and it does get a little faster over time.

Lori :)
Lisa she's developing well ...such cute Sydney snaps and sleepers w/ bunny slippers. How her hair has grown!
Bazi nice story about your Dad's jacket
Lani enjoy reading the Royal Albie updates w/ photos and chick's weights and measures ---glad script on that enlarged as image was 'fuzzy'. Tks
Puff good luck w/PC issues.
{{{KB/Puff}}} grief is personal and no two individuals experience this mystery the same. I heard the same 18 mos to 2yr 'standard' ::)

Phyl - Bradley had one of those popcorn popper things. Thanks for kind words on Sydney.
Have a good night, everyone

A coworker at the time gave me a book about being an "orphan" after my second parent died. The important concept I remember is to not let anyone tell you when you should be over it and back to "normal".
Hugs to all missing their special ones

TIG Thanks for that explanation and video. What fun. Lots of Model A collectors around. ;D How old were you when you lost your parents?
PUFF Don't you dare - That will be a sure sign we will go into a deep freeze LOLOL
PHYL I do remember those pop corn popper toys. Our generation toy
-
Lisa I had one also. The Fisher-Price in my post above is just like what I had. FP makes the best developmental toys. IMHO
{{{Tig}}} thank you for your post. I had read the time constraint on 'grief' when I got divorced f rom #1. The eyeroll was the only
emoticon selection that would 'fit' the remark. I'll always feel 'orphaned'. How old were you when you lost your folks?
Tsk Thanks for saying that to Puff about not unplugging her heated bird bath. I wanted to... but...

~ digging back in beaker time ~
Time's a'wasting Clynn tsk . There are 63 designated national parks, mostly west of the Mississippi.
That's something I might try to check on how many I've been to; never made a list. But never felt any were a waste of a sidetrip. I'm a big proponent of USA travel. Our country is something we all should see and treasure.
Puff you have reignited Pip and I's National Park's we have hiked in thus far.
Our criteria for having visited a National Park:
Entered it and experienced it in some form or fashion.
I've driven, trained, flown, boated, walked, skied to get to our National Parks etc ..
As far as conveyances go once inside of our NP's .. that gets real crazy.
Our very dear intrepid friend Todd who has been to 62 USA National Parks in a wheelchair since birth has a big surprise coming up in 2025.
He's going to the National Park of American Samoa.
The only person I've ever para - glided into a National Park with I shit you not.
You got more to break than I got bro.
Shh .. he'll have to know 6 months in advance.
I've hiked in 38 NPs.
Pip's hiked in 42 out of the 63 NPs.
BL, sounds like you and Pip and Kopje had a wonderful birthday weekend!
So how did Pip get to 4 more National Parks than you ? :o
BL Sounds like a wonderful restful time for you both. More folks need that nature experience.
Pretty cool about your and Pip's similarities/birth etc Thanks for sharing.
Suspect you both might have us all beat in national parks.
I tend to think of it as great perk of this great country The United States of America our National Parks are. ;D
If you've ever nature treasured being in just one well than you get it. 8)
The best as Pip and I know of as of 2024 ... 12 to Go

Lani - Like how you gave loving tribute to Misty for being a first time mom with her little sweet kittens in the beautiful picture! I really love the elephants!!!
Baz - My mom is a sweet lady, but when she wants something, she really speaks up! ;) Carolina blue!! ;D Lol! Your nails!!
Phyl - Like the fun facts about Leap year! You are correct in what you mentioned to Puff & Kb; that everyone's grief is personal & different (with their spouse passing). I know this from my sister who's husband passed in 2015 at age 50.
Puff - Temps are up and down for sure!!
Clynn - You are so nice to forward Sydney her birthday wishes from the Beak!! Fun to look forward to her birthday dinner on Sunday. I love how your family celebrates your birthdays with lots of love!! ;D Love all the beautiful pics you posted of Sydney and the Munchkins! It sounds like Sam wanted to be with Sophie when she got home - especially you said they both went to sleep. I think he comforted her.
Kb - Pretty Sandhill crane! Happy you are enjoying your music!
Karen - No problem on the name/birthday mix up - easy to do - no biggie! :) Wow, your area is having a nice warm temp! Cute Maltese pups!! :)
Lisag - Love the cute picture of lil Sydney holding onto the little walking toy! Too cute!!! ;D
Tig - Sounds like a great time!! Enjoy!! ;D Fun event for all the model A's!! Thank you for expressing what I believe, that no one should ever tell someone that they should 'be over it'.
Puff - Hope it goes well with the unplugging of your birdbath!
Tsk, BL, Lori, Og :)
Beakers have a good nite.

Tsk, good question about Female Albies. I'll look for the answer.
Lisa, Sydney looks older than 7 months. :-*
{{{Kb}}} sending you hugs :-*
{{{Puff}}} Lots of hugs coming your way. :-* good luck with your PC too... I don't know about unplugging the heated bird bath. It's like washing windows or your car then it rains. Talons crossed all goes well. :-*
Phyl, Shannon had a lot of Fisher Price toys and the corn popper was one of them.... beautiful good night pic....

Good Morning Beakers!

The Munchkins will be here this morning! Erin has an important meeting he has to attend at work (he normally works from home on Fridays), the kids have no school today and Sydney's school is not off today! His meeting is from 8:00 to 12:00 so we will have a few hours. Bella will be all about the kittens!
T40, I remember most all of those things from the 70s!
Lani, and they still make the Corn Popper! I got one for Bella when she started walking! I watched the Renovation Aloha show yesterday, it was good! Worth watching!
E4E, good for your Mom! No need to be silent... Yes, Sam wants to be with Sophie, he seems to know not to wrestle too hard with her right now! He never hissed at her once when she came home from the vets, like she did to him for a few hours!
karen, the puppies are so cute in their jammies!
Lisa, I love the picture of Sydney, love her dark hair and eyes and she has the sweetest smile! I bet she will be an early walker!
Eagle Creek Trailhead, Oregon

CLynn have loads of fun with the Munchkins today.

HI EVERYONE
PHYL Haunting flyway last night ;)
TIG Rough time losing parents.. :( Camper is your angel.. ;) ;)
KAREN LOLOL Those Maltese are so cute. Jammies no less.
BL What a friend in Todd. :o An amazing guy. And now we find out you have para glided! What a wonderful surprise American Samoa will be. Are you going with ? It doesn't surprise me that you and Pip have had some amazing National Park adventures. You should be able to knock off the remaining parks in a heartbeat. ;) ;)
T40 I think that list will generate a lot of conversation. Yes I must say my orange apt with my macrame hangings - made by me, and my fondue set made for a nice party atmosphere. Still have my ever faithful crockpot, tray tables - repurposed - almost that exact alarm clock and my updated Hoover LOLOL Great trip down menory lane.
CLYNN LOL Did you warn S& S about the visitors LOL Think I would belt my self to the Eagle Cree Trail. Enjoy the morning!
LANI I too watched Renovation Aloha - WOW
PHYL Interesting women's history month.

OK OK OK I'll leave the heater bird water plugged in a bit longer. But it won't be long - 50's today, 60's tomorrow. I'll sweep up the driveway tomorrow though; wind that blew through on Wednesday broke off a few small branches. Water guage and oriole feeder to follow shortly after that. And Lani you remind me that I have to have windows cleaned outside especially the bay kitchen window by the bird feeders.
Lots of memories stirred up with those oldie-but-goodies. I have to admit some I still have and use and will keep: 8-tracks (sell to collectors who still have machine), wood paneling - white - in downstairs rec, crock pot for chili making, portable Smith-Corona electric (former typing teacher still uses it once in a while for special adaptations), knit (not crochet) afghans (some I made, first one I ever made 1960's between classes in college and very special crocheted one from first husband's grandmother made for me! when her grandson stole the one she made for us, still have and use daily both corelle kitchen set and corelleware cookware for my 1980's Amana glasstop stove, etc etc etc.
Can I kinda stretch the rules and mention a great trip just started - OK I will.
All the talk about National Parks done recently just coincided with a new goodie being offered by Trafalgar. One of two of the best tour companies. Even if you (or I) have covered some before there's always a new viewpoint or a special remembrance, a special memory. Most of you have my contact or can message me? It's also an easy and thorough way to cover that someday list. . .

Added it to my bucket list - and I grew up there!!!! Someone recently said mine is more of a barrel than a bucket... ;D

Not sure if March is coming in like a lion or what! Currently 51 degrees going to 70 with some rain expected around 6 pm!
Thought a few z70s things were earlier than the 70s, like the wall phones. Thanks for the list!
Never had fp toys! Too old! Had a nice set of Lincoln logs, doll house, Etc! Happy memories.
Clynn, enjoy the kids today! Nice surprise. Sydney is having a long celebration time! Good for her!
Phyl, remember that about Hedy Lamar! Beauty and Brains! Thanks for all your posts!
Tsk, bet your Fondue parties were fun! Loved them but disposed of all the stuff! Recycled two crock pots and wish I had kept last one! Never really used them! Tsk, I can picture your orange apt! Lovely cozy place!
Have a great march first! Keep all your old, warm, happy , loving , fun memories and discard the bad!
Cannot even think of riding over that road in Eagle Creek. Oregon! Not even walking on it! Bl, if you and Pip go, be cautious!
Love all the tulips this Morning!

PUFF Great trip for someone new to the Nat'l Pks. I personally loved Bryce Canyon.
KB Cool video. Always know it's a pileated - holes are rectangular ;) ;) The red headed in the photo is so beautiful.
KAREN The only thing orange in my life now is orange flavored enhanced water and oranges LOLOL I had an orange sofa and hooked a circular sunburst wool rug I still have to this day in the basement where I exercise LOLOL I had a black bean bag chair in the apt as well. The one rough thing about a crockpot is that they are heavy. If I was alone I would get a smaller one.

Kb, interesting video.

Happy national MN day! A survey says Minnesotans are top of the list in being proud of their state.
Seeing a new doctor today... he is the son of my thyroid specialist that retired. Fingers crossed he will be as good.

tig - Good luck with new doctor, and Happy National Minnesota Day.
Lani - Aww, your lambs are so cute this morning.
karen - We are expecting that rain tonight, too. Aww, puppies in their jammies, so cute!
kb - Pretty redheaded woodpecker.
Puff - You have some good, old but goodie stuff. Was looking at your link to the Parks, and one of my friends used Trafalgar for her bucket list trip to Italy, and she said, it was the best trip she had ever been on.
tsk - An orange apartment...I bet that was cool.
Phyl - I knew about Mayim Bialik, but not Natalie Portman, interesting! I agree on FP making the best developmental toys.
clynn - Hope you are having a great day with the munchkins! Thanks for the kind words. Bradley was an early walker, so I wonder if she will take after him on that? I might be able to do the Eagle Creek Trailhead, holding on to that handrail! ;D
T40 - Thanks for the link, and trip down memory lane.
E4E - Thank you! She seems to like it, and her lil car too, they said.
-
Tsk sadly it still looks like late Fall/ early Winter from my window; hope Margaret is doing well today.
Puff I too have a 'barrel' list. Should Jim 'get lucky' playing Tenn Lottery---as my travel advisor, you'll be one of the first I call. ;)
KB perfect specimen of Red Headed Woodpecker; Great video short---Go Woody! Go. That tongue is a great shock
absorber for the brain. Immaculate de-barking. LOL that G. Shephard.
Lani I still have much of my mother's '60's and 70's household items--some I use to this day. If it wasn't broken---it never got replaced. I still use
the wooden handled potato masher from the late 1940's. Toys, oh yeah.
Tig here's to a great visit and report from your new doc. ;)
Lisa Yeah---Natalie Portman did that as a teenager in high school. It was Elvis who got me standing at an early age---story goes I'd hear him
sing on Ed Sullivan from my crib ...pull myself up and 'sing' and gyrate my baby hips. :-[ :-[
Light rain today...seafood pizza, romaine/baby spinach w/ romas and hot cocoa w/ Redi Whipp for dinner tonight. My 'My Little Old Lady' curled up in my seat
purring and fast asleep. :-*

Peek inside a bald eagle egg: 11 days!
https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/02/29/peek-inside-a-bald-eagle-egg-11-days/ (https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/02/29/peek-inside-a-bald-eagle-egg-11-days/)
-
Oh, Oh, look what I did. Got myself all wound up and talking to myself. May as well share with y'all. . .
Lani Yep you're kinda in the general area of the tour. And I've been there and done that too. You recall I was born in Colorado? Born in Denver, part of my ashes will be spread in the mountains when I die. That's days and days, weeks and weeks, and years spent in the area. What's nice is the sights and pace of this 2 week program. Did you open the side panels on the daily coverage? I feel this is a slow/easy pace. As a contrast would be a 9 day trip once to Hawaii Island; stayed in 7 hotels, and active schedule from 6a-10p. Glad I went? Of course!
Phyl I do understand having a barrel. Problem is I have more free time, but I also now have this fussy body, and the barrel is not full of $$$$. One more problem is I've not be told how much time is on my clock. I'm stubborn and I will do whatever I can. I could tell you instances of some of my people I've helped. Determination is inborn. I'm just not done yet. I'm also not of the mindset to sit and wait in Darien to die.
I do know I'll be making this Trafalgar tour someday, somehow!
Trafalgar does get kudos from their travelers, too. I also am pleased with their way of servicing me. I used to be, and at times still am, a control freak. Pampering and relaxing is not a vice. Know your wants and the choices and when it's time to take a break. That being said-- Greece 2020 was too much,too fast, too hilly. Waited too long to do that. Budapest 2021 enjoyable and fun. Super Bowl, parade, game, Santa Monica 2023 was enjoyable and fun and a new solo experience.
You get older you get wiser. We learn to relax, observe, enjoy. Ton always was one to nap even during "working" hours. I haven't started napping yet - but there are times I'll sleep all the way 7 o'clock. ;D
Style of thinking and living (for me) started changing when I hit 60-65. I found another great way to travel can be to use/let others make plans. They drive, move luggage, tell you where to look.
This will be my 12th journey to ATF - sure I'll go again!!!!!
Thanks for your time and patience with my rattle. Love You All

LANI Bouncing us into March ;D Like your trunk idea. Like a time capsule for the kids. My Milw bro also has a very valuable baseball card collection.
TIG Good luck at new doc. Young ones are up on the latest...
LISA Beauty of a spring morning. ;D
PHYL Thanks for the RRP Blog
PUFF Attitude is everything!!

Bounce
Yep, I found out he has actually been with the group for a year and a half, so he had time to learn even more on the job with his dad. He kept the appt. moving but was attentive to my questions. He explained our plan going forward for monitoring the thyroid and the osteopenia. He explained I should get my dexa scan from the same machine biannually for consistency. There was a blood draw for tests. And my resting pulse was 68 and BP 112/60. I'm the healthiest overweight person I know. LOL.
So... Caitlin is heading to the NBA. Hmmm

Lani, I guess the frolicking , cute
Little lambs are saying March came in like a lamb so I guess it will be going out like a roaring Lion! Hope not.

Phyl - What seafood do you put on your seafood pizza? Jeff would love something like that, me not so much. Thanks for the RRP blog post.
Puff - I will be seeing you at ATF. Can't wait to pull up a chair next to you and chat. :D
tsk - Those macaroons looked very Springy ;D
tig - I had to giggle at your last sentence. I am glad you liked the doc, and that you are healthy!
karen - Those winds in Decorah have been roaring like a lion today. My poor ears need a break from the cams. ;D
Have a good night, everyone!
-
TIG You are in good hands! Yes too bad Caitlyn chose not to finish college...I'll try and catch that game on Sunday. right?
CLYNN How was it with the kids today?
Culvers walleye plate tonight! Delicious. Lots of "blue hairs" at 4 M when we went . Crowded with kids when we left - there had been a monster truck show at the Allstate Arena down the block LOL

Lisa I basically used a Red Lobster recipe with some personal tweaking.
Ultra thin pizza crust not tortillas
Roasted Garlic Butter Spread
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
4 ounces drained diced (canned -me) Roma Tomatoes drained for 15 minutes in a colander ( I have a special 'thingy' that fits over the can and I drain that way) Not fresh then diced
2 tablespoons fresh Basil
2 ounces packaged Lobster Meat drained for 15 minutes in a colander. Same for Crab claw meat. One can ,dice the seafood pieces if desired. I just sprinkle the shreds over the crust and let the pizza cutter do the rest
1/2 cup Italian Six-Cheese Blend
Kosher /Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
1 Lemon to serve (Jim likes this---I don't)
Lightly brush entire topside of crust, edge to edge, with garlic butter.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter.
After draining the diced tomatoes, sprinkle evenly over Parmesan cheese.
Wash basil and shake off excess water. Pick off leaves and stack on top of one another. Using a chef's knife, cut into 1/8-inch strips. Do not chop. Sprinkle evenly over the diced tomatoes. I use dried basil.
After draining the lobster /crab (claw , I sue) meat, sprinkle it evenly over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle Italian six-cheese blend evenly over the diced tomatoes.
Refrigerate until ready to cook. I make/bake right before dinning
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Brush a pizza pan or pizza stone lightly with vegetable oil ( for stone use bread crumbs this is what I do/use) and sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper and kosher/sea salt. I omit the salt and pepper.
When oven is ready, place pizza on pan or stone and cook approximately 4 - 5 minutes at most. I usually keep a watch as the
crust is so thin.
Let cool slightly in pan and cut into 8 wedges. I do this. Not RL
Squeeze fresh lemon over pizza for extra flavor and serve. I don't--
Be sure you drain the tomatoes and the lobster meat before sprinkling them over the pizza shell. Otherwise your pizza will turn out soggy.
Tonight I'm deviating and using softened butter spread over pizza crust and a thin layer of Alfredo sauce then the crab/lobster meat then drizzle w/olive oil. I usually serve white wine or beer.draft cider. And, green salad w/romas oil/vinegar dressing
Puff Thanks for getting al wound up about travel. :-*
Tsk I agree the macarons do look 'springy' and tasty; Never eaten at a Culvers--have one in Cool Springs TN. though.
Tig congrats on good report from your young new Doc. It helps to like your doctor. My nephew Matthew, Dan's son chose not to finish engineering classes at USC. Instead accepted a managerial post w/ McDonalds and a scholarship after a few years. We shall see.

TIG ...... Yes too bad Caitlyn chose not to finish college...I'll try and catch that game on Sunday. right?
TSK
Caitlyn will graduate in May - if she would have decided to stay for a 5th year (Covid extension) she would have to pick a major for grad school. My thinking is that she did not want to build up on the records in a 5th year of playing, that would likely never happen again for any future players. She also does not have any more big records to shoot for... Another factor is that 3 other starters graduate this year - Money is not an issue in her decision - she is the highest paid NIL athlete this year in any sport. Newspaper estimated that she is making over $800K for this year from her NIL contracts. The max that she can earn from the WNBA is $250,000 per year.
-
Old .guy, thanks for the report on Caitlyn! I was going to. Say it would be year 5 but did not know her earnings! Will be interesting to see where she goes. Interesting cap on the ladies pro pay! The guys would not play for that!n lol
Phyl, I love reading you descriptive menus recipes. I think I would like the Alfredo sauce one thar you are doing the best! What crust do you get? Can you put it on
the oven rack like with frozen?
Had Sams rotisserie chicken fresh green beans with baby. Bella mushrooms and a garden
Salad. Green grapes. And a decaf!

Lani - You mention that Shannon had a popcorn popper toy, and so did my children! I have a pyrex baking set (2 ea.), and even though one has a slight chip in the lid, I still keep it!! I received as a wedding gift too, so I will always hold onto it!
Clynn - I bet you had a great time with having the Munchkins over this morning!!! ;D So nice that Sam didn't hiss at Sophie - he sounds like he is more mild! ;D Wow! That picture out at Eagle Creek Trailhead, OR! :o
T40 - Interesting list! I can identify with lots!
Tsk - I too enjoyed going down the list 'memory lane'! :)
Puff - Those parks all look like so much fun!!!
Kb - Like the colorful woodpecker! I don't think I would throw another snowball at that GS! ;)
Karen - Although you mention that you didn't have FP toys growing up, sounds like you had others!! ;D
Tig - Hope all went well with your visit with the new doctor :) Just read about your visit and it sounds like you had a great appt and that all looks good!!
LisaG - I bet Sydney will take after Bradley and walk early! :)
Phyl - I've never had seafood pizza, but sounds like a yummy dinner for you & Jim! :)
Puff - No 'rattle' at all - I loved reading all that you talked about - thank you!!
Karen - Your dinner sounds yummy too! I bet Piper got a lil bite! ;)
Hi Og, Baz, Bl, Lori :)
Beakers have a good night.
-
Tig, I hope your appt with your new doctor went well... Congrats to Caitlin.
Phyl, thanks for RRP blog.... Your pizza recipe sounds delicious, though I love seafood, not on my pizza.
Lisa, I'm old fashion about my pizza, not even pineapple is allowed. :-X
{{{Puff}}} I always enjoy your "rattle." :-*
Oldguy, Caitlin is making $800K! WOW! She won't make very much in the WNBA. Didn't realize they had such a low cap on salaries. :( ... Mike said Caitlin broke KU's Lynette Woodard record for most career points.
karen, I love Alfredo sauce with seafood... your dinner sounds delicious too!
I've got to be in Mesa for a meeting at 9am tomorrow. It'll be a long day in the valley. I won't be able to check in until tomorrow night.
Have a wonderful Caturday Beakers! ;D
Good night!

Good day with the Munchkins, although that Bella wore me out! We went to Walmart, they like the toy selection there! Bella was busy all the time, playing with the kittens, painting, Play--Doh, a couple of games and she was my waitress for a while!

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog, always interesting!
Lani, hope you have a good day with your meeting in the Valley! I am also old fashioned with my pizza! And my tacos! ;D Sweet ole bear...
E4E, yes, Sam is way calmer than Sophie! I compare them to Talon and Bella... ::) ::) I have a lot of old Pyrex that I can sell on eBay, Ed finds a lot of it at the thrift stores. I suppose someone passes on and the kids don't know what to do with all the household goods so they donate them. I have sold a set of the nested colored Pyrex bowls for $100!
oldguy, thanks for the info on Caitlyn, I thought I had read somewhere that her degree was in Marketing? I also read that they gave the whole team an extra year of eligibility because of Covid, which makes sense when you have a winning team.
tsk, we had fish and chips from Off the Hook (the truck that travels around the Midwest) last night, even Kelsey wanted it, on Pizza Night! So we will have pizza tonight! I was surprised!
Lisa, it has been windy here, but I think the cam makes it sound much worse! Wish they could figure out a way to filter the wind out!

Good Morning Everyone.... Happy Caturday!
Currently 48F but feels like 50F with a High 63F mostly cloudy with a Low 27F
OldGuy I just had the chance to catch up about Caitlin. Wishing her success in what ever she decides . Good luck at cards tonight.
Karen when I made the seafood pizza for Lent last night I tossed the wrapper- I'll have to---next time in Publix make a note.
If it helps it's found in the pizza crust display---in our Concord Rd. on Nolensville Pk location it's right there at the double doors that go to
the back of the store. There are 3 ultra thin crusts that actually are for using on grills. The wrapper will refer to that.
CLynn looks like you and Talon/Bella had a fun day yesterday. 'Birdy' looking rock formation in Oregon.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley/family; Twin Cities suburb- Minneapolis ; Lakewood Church community, Texas; All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere .

PHYL To be seen what happens to Matthew and his new position. Nothing's written in stone! Interesting blog from Amy - " nest neighbors". How cute was that kitty and the eggs. ;D ;D ;D
OLDGUY Thanks for info on Caitlyn. I have not been following women's basketball but will try and catch the next game Sunday I believe.
LANI I'm not a seafood on pizza either LOL What a beautiful good night dog. Have a good day. Busy one for me as well.
CLYNN Great use of a tree stump. ;D The last pic of Bella - Can't tell if she looks more like Erin or Sidney - Maybe a good mix of them both ;D Great photo of Pareidolia rock bird ;D ;D

I'm always just a little "off"... pepperoni for Camper, chicken pineapple pizza for me last night; fish sticks for Camper, bass fillets from last June and some chopped collard greens for me, with tater tots and bacon - tonight.

Tig - I like a pineapple and ham pizza myself but anything else will do as well, except for fish on it.
Tsk - lulu helping with taxes....boy, you two look very organized inside that briefcase....come to my house please!.
Phyl - pretty kitty.
I'm pretty busy today as well!. Can't complain with temps in the 60's this afternoon.
Me thinks I'll have to get my lawn mower fixed by Glen sooner than later...it broke last fall and he was already doing snowblowers. I hope he has adapted to this year's temps.

Happy Caturday!
E23 Branched this morning, to the veranda! Wingersized and stepped up at 8:04 , wingersized up there and enjoyed the view! As this kid stills waits for a parent to feed a lot of the time I hope a fledge is not real soon!
Interesting comment about Bellas looks! I was looking at the pictures from her mother’s birthday and also thought she resemble Erin, although there was no picture of him for comparison. No matter, she is a cute little girl!
Lisa, I was looking at Sydney and her colorful walker and thought we come into the world with diapers and a walker and go out the same way! Lolol! What goes around comes around?
Lani, cuddly dog in your goodnight photo! I want Bear! Beautiful coat! Have a good , busy day in Mesa!
thanks for the pizza info Phyl!
My favorite pizza is cheese and sausage on a thin crust! That was what I ate when it first appeared in Chicago and the suburbs! Unos had not yet arrived and the thick crusted deep dish stuff was not heard of! Pepperoni was not common! The seafood pizza Phyl described sounds like seafood Alfredo on crust instead of pasta. I cannot fathom ham and pineapple on pizza! Sounds like Easter dinner to me!
The first Culvers in South Georgia is opening 3 to 4 blocks from me shortly! The first time I have been around one!
Piper and I may do some work on taxes today! All of you enjoy the day! Temps close to 80 today! A lil hot!

tsk - Your dinner plate from Culver's sounds good. I got the fried shrimp plate from there when in Decorah, and it was really good. Awww, Lulu. Tim's briefcase looks very well organized.
Phyl - Thanks for the recipe! This sounds like something Jeff would really like. Printing it out now. Thanks for the RRP blog post.
karen - Your dinner sounded good. Love Sam's rotisserie chicken.
E4E - I hope so.
Lani - Oh, I am not a pineapple on the pizza kinda person, either. Enjoy your meeting.
clynn - I agree with that wind sound on the cams. What a cool rock. Cute pics of the munchkins!
kb - Wow, beautiful the rare white cardinal! Nice temps for you today. We are rain all day.
karen - LOL, that is too funny! I have never thought about it that way!

kareng I was watching E23 yesterday doing a fine job at self-feeding. No parent was there - don't know how long the food had been there. Thought to myself "won't be long before a maiden flight ?"
Hey, another posting about pizza? That gave me a great idea. . .
I have an extra "Gino's East" pizza maker. For those not from the Chgo area, Gino's is one of our local pizza go-to restaurants. It makes the local creation - deep dish pizza. Tony was the chef, quite an adventure for someone who didn't know what yeast is. He ended up using powdered dry yeast. I always use cake yeast when I make bread. He found out about use of yeast and kneading. He really did quite well. It makes a great customized pizza.
He found out about it when he had his first by-pass surgery and had to regulate his diet. (No he wasn't that bad of an Italian, he just had some evil family genes.) The pan makes about a 12" round pizza. What was great for us for our varied tastes is that he could make my half lots of sausage and cheese and his with onions, green pepper, small bits only of sausage and cheese and whatever he found going thru the fridge. Customized cooking. Yeast means it takes an hour of rising, then it rises again a bit more while you add the toppings. You can control the thickness when you put the dough in the maker by how much you flatten the dough. Being a novice he thought you had to use a rolling pin; but not really you can just shape and flatten to choice. He also was put on, me too, to a good tasting pizza sauce in a can. It comes in two sizes - 10 oz and 15 oz. The smaller can is sufficient. The name Pastorelli.
Now the maker/pan: It's a base with a cover, totally lined with teflon (?) so nothing sticks. It is total electric, it takes about 1/2 hour 40 minute to bake. I have made some for myself since ... It makes at least 6 good size wedges. For me I've had 3 meals, yummy meals, if I say so myself.
When we got ours he had the Gino's name on it. It's been sold to a couple other manufacturers. Ton got it for $45. Now they're maybe $100 if you can find it. It turned out he liked the pizza and the job preparing so much that he bought one for his mom the chef, and one for each of the kids. We took in his mom's when she passed away and then one of his kids wasn't using theirs so he took it back. Adding them up I now have 3. My DING hit today when I moved the cheeze in the fridge was ......... Anyone going to ATF who would like a pizza maker? I do believe it would be quite $$$$$$ to ship. It is heavy. Hammacher is selling what looks like a similar model. It's FREE to anyone going to AFT. ;D Such a bargain!

Tsk cute Lulu Caturday snap.
KB leucitic cardinal very unusual
Karen not Seafood Alfredo on crust ...thin layer of real butter and even thinner layer of Alfredo sauce with crab and lobster on top. There has
to be a 'base' to hold the topping on.
I only tried the Red Lobster recipe once and then with my modifications.
When I make seafood pizza it's with butter/Alfrado---not Red Lobster's.
The combo is usually the traditional Canadian Bacon and pineapple. Which is tasty, first had one at Shakey's in Palm Sprgs when I was Junior High. Jim's fave pizza is Pizza Supreme, a traditional pepperoni/mushroom w/ mozzarella cheese (my fave) ---But with slices of onion, tomato , black olives, broccoli .Another I've grown to enjoy and a Publix original from decades ago.
Lisa don't make the Red Lobster version of Seafood Pizza too much work and blah. IMHO --sweet Gingers for Caturday
Puff have you tried posting your Gino's Pizza ovens on EBay or Amazon, even Etsy ? I use a pizza stone in the oven---never directly on the oven rack.
The type I use is just like this: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Cook-14-75-Pizza-Stone/dp/B000297YAS/ref=asc_df_B000297YAS&mcid=551bb3af30d13e2691b763714203437a?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920803409779&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520395347680&psc=1 (http://df_B000297YAS&mcid=551bb3af30d13e2691b763714203437a?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920803409779&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520395347680&psc=1)
Thanks for news on E23 branching.
Oh Yeah! Post Script on pizza stone use bread crumbs on top of the stone then add your pizza and bake as per
pizza manufacture's instructions.

TIG ...... Yes too bad Caitlyn chose not to finish college...I'll try and catch that game on Sunday. right?
TSK
Caitlyn will graduate in May - if she would have decided to stay for a 5th year (Covid extension) she would have to pick a major for grad school. My thinking is that she did not want to build up on the records in a 5th year of playing, that would likely never happen again for any future players. She also does not have any more big records to shoot for... Another factor is that 3 other starters graduate this year - Money is not an issue in her decision - she is the highest paid NIL athlete this year in any sport. Newspaper estimated that she is making over $800K for this year from her NIL contracts. The max that she can earn from the WNBA is $250,000 per year.
OG, what you said!! :D Yep, she's graduating, and going to the WNBA. Incredible what she has done in the women's basketball game - and for breaking records for ALL NCAA college basketball - men and women! Breaking Pistol Pete's (Pete Maravich) scoring record of over 50 years ago? She only has to score 18 more points to do that! Most thought that was a record that could never be broken. They thought wrong. LOL. It will happen in her next game, tomorrow, Sunday, March 3rd, 1pm Eastern time. Here's a brief blurb about it, and where to watch that game - She will make all-time college basketball history in the 1st half of the game, so don't be late!
https://sports.yahoo.com/how-to-watch-caitlin-clark-break-pete-maravichs-all-time-ncaa-scoring-record-as-iowa-takes-on-ohio-state-182649818.html - How to watch Caitlin Clark break Pete Maravich's all-time NCAA scoring record when Iowa takes on Ohio State
Lani, yep, Dean Smith started out at Kansas U. I miss him sooo much! What a special person! We would see him in parking lots and restaurants in Chapel Hill from time to time, even after he retired. Such a genuinely nice person - always a smile and good word, and always friendly, and never too busy for a howdy-do. It's always extra special now to be in The Smith Center, named for him, and lovingly nicknamed The Dean Dome. I'm so glad he lived to see it. :-* :-* You didn't mention it, but of course you and I are aware of the also-famous Coach Roy Williams, and his coaching at KU and then UNC, taking both teams to the NCAA Championship Final Game!! Lots of "love/hate" between KU and UNC for a bit when he left KU for UNC, but it's clear that both schools respect the history now. :)
Lots of college basketball "doings" this weekend!
Today, Lani's No. 7 KU Jayhawks will play at No. 15 Baylor Bears (1pm Eastern) - it's almost halftime now - close game!! on the ABC network.
And TSK's No.5 Marquette Golden Eagles play at No. 12 Creighton's Bluejays at 2:30 Eastern on Fox.
And my No. 9 UNC Tarheels host the NC State Wolfpack today in Chapel Hill, in the Dean Dome, at 4pm Eastern, on ESPN. Go Heels! ;D
And Yesterday!, Loyola's famous 104-year old Team Chaplain, and Lucky Charm, greatest fan, Sister Jean, was in action, courtside, when her Loyola-Chicago Ramblers had a big upset win over No. 21 Dayton Flyers! ;D :-* Yay!!
Here's a nice blurb about Sister Jean, and that big game yesterday. (The picture of her in this article is from 2018 though):

TIG Hey, a visit with Rosie on the horizon. Is it an overnight? That was a great instagram video. 8 paws up in the air LOL Those Model As are just beautiful. So nice that folks have the interest in preserving that era of history. Lotsa love in those cars.
KB That cardinal is stunning. Wish there were birds like that one all the time. Leopard ;D ;D Here kitty kitty LOL For Tim, his briefcase is like a purse for us. He just can't get away from his working days. Think his office LOL It weighs a ton!
KAREN I think you will love Culvers. Must first try what they are known for - Butter burger!
PUFF Your post was so funny!!! Love the history of pizza ;D
BAZI Thanks for the BB schedule - Think I can catch some. I almost missed the pics Loved your view of the court. What a fun time.

Lani, hope you don't have to go to the office! ;D Oh... you said you are at a meeting today - hmmm, maybe you're missing the game. It's tied right now - near the beginning of the 2nd half.
Lots of pizza and seafood talk. LOL. The first time I heard of ham and pineapple pizza, I thought, "Yuck!" That was, until I tried it. Then I thought, "Mmm!" :D And the comment someone made about "Barf" on the thought of shrimp and pizza sauce with mozzarella cheese... LOL... I grew up eating Shrimp Creole often - a classic combo of shrimp in a highly seasoned tomato sauce, usually served on rice... may as well put it on a pizza crust! Ha ha... Clearly, I am not a pizza purist. ;) :D :D
This morning, I made a shrimp and swiss omelet with lots of coffee! It was da bomb. Zippo enjoyed a corner of the omelet that was egg-only - no shrimp or cheese for her. She will knock you over for anything resembling a scrambled egg! :D :D :-* :-* I am currently prepping to make a batch of White Chicken Chili to enjoy during the 2nd half my basketball game later today. Go Heels!

TSK... Not sure yet, but she may be staying almost a week! Mom n Dad will be at their 4th child's graduation from Navy A school. She probably is headed to a ship and probably won't be home for Christmas so they will want to spend time with her and one of their other children is in the same area.

Puff - That sounds like a great pizza maker you have there.
-
Lori, prayers for Jackie and Shadow, hope they can persevere. We need to see babies in that nest this year! Lots of goodies and sweet dogs and cats! And the funny videos love the spa Dad and cat! I took this picture of Sam and Sophie from outside, looking into the front window. They were enjoying the sun! They are laying on a stack of games on shelves, the trees are a reflection on the window.

Lisa, ah, that buttery flaky crust... Butter Burger is good, we like their fish sandwiches too!
T40, saving the videos for later, I know they will be funny!
tsk, I agree on the Butter Burger from Culvers, we also like the Cod sandwich! Yum!
baz, you are so right! There are pizza purists, like me and then there are those who think of it like one would a sandwich...anything goes. Same with tacos, I couldn't eat seafood on a pizza or a fish taco!! I know, boring... Great picture of you and your Sis, and such a cute Lil' Bro!
Erin and Sydney will be here in a while. we had to get a new TV! Mine just QUIT! I turned it on this morning and there was sound but no picture, Ed tried everything he knew and nothing was wrong with DISH. Erin came over and looked at everything and decided the tv was bad. It's only 3 years old!
He said that is the only kind he will get is a Samsung. So I decided to go 10" bigger and ordered a Samsung - 65" Class Q60C QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV. Don't know what the heck all that means but Erin says I will love it.

We're in our 16th year on our big screen Sony. ( I"m knocking on my wooden desk) We only have room for max 55" That's big enough for our room size. I don't know what all that means either.

Bazi easy to see what a fun time you & your sis had. Great view of the court. Lil Bro :) When I married Jim I inherited his Chef Paul Prudhomme cook book.
Many wonderful recipes ...his roux recipe is one of my many favorites. Sadly, Chef Paul is no longer with us.

We just bought a new Samsung 77 inch QD-OLED..QD stands for quantum dot.
The 65 inch Samsung LCD is now downstairs in my bedroom and the Vizio in Chris' room
He knows all about this stuff.....hopefully the above link provides some info.
Our QD-OLED is very light cause it's not backlight.
For us, the soundbar and subwoofer are a great addition...

Hi Beakers, I hope Caturday was a good day for everyone!
It's been a long day, lots of traffic in the valley. There were a couple of times
I thought we were going to get in an accident. :-X Lots of closed eyes moments.
I'll say good night early and catch up with everyone's Caturday tomorrow.
Have a good night! ;D

Lani - I too like seafood and pineapple, but not on my pizza!! ;D Hope you had a good day In Mesa for the meeting! You & Mike have a nice weekend. :)
Clynn - Like the cute pics of your Munchkins! I can imagine that you need to probably take it easy and rest a bit afterwards! ;D Sam is 'calmer' than Sophie - usually someone has to be the more easy going one! ;D :) Bummer your tv went out, but glad you got a new one and I'm sure Erin is correct!!
Phyl - LIke the caption that 'I am Happily owned by a cat'! ;D
Tsk - Lulu helping with taxes! So cute!! ;D
Tig - So happy you will have Rosie for a while - hopefully Wednesday!! :) :)

Baz - I have been keeping an eye on the Big Bear Valley BE cam - watching for pip!! :)

E4E, yes, I compare Sam and Sophie to Talon and Bella... ;D They will all be here today (it was just Erin and Sydney installing the TV last night). After they do my floors we will go out and eat for Sydney's birthday! Then we will come back here for her requested brownies/ice cream and she can open her birthday presents!
Lani, I hope you are getting some good rest and forgetting about the awful traffic! I don't like to go to certain stores on the weekend, it's just too much. I know here does not compare at all to Phoenix on the weekend, but I understand what makes you crazy!
Phyl, great Caturday cat pics, love the zillion dollar bill with the cat's picture on it! And Arnold has a job! Hope Miss Maggie is doing well! WOW on the male/female Cardinal! Cute 365, I was waiting for something to pop up and it did! Love the penguins and babies. 58 here now, high 77 today. Open all the windows day!
kb, thanks for the info, Erin promised to show me what all this TV can do, I just wanted to be able to see the Guide and switch channels for now! I am sure there is a youtube out there! Ed also knows all that stuff, he has a 75" down in the Mole Hole, and I know he does a lot of recording and other stuff with the Hopper. Not sure what kind it is.
tsk, was or is there a Giordano's that has rooftop seating in the warm months? Seems like we ate there when we visited Becky while she lived in Chicago! Very deep dish and good! The TV that only lived 3 years was a Toshiba! The next time we get a fish sandwich at Culvers I will tell Ed to get the Walleye! You have it, Sam has a very dark muzzle and points, Sophie is the lighter one! She has that little speck of dark fur on her chin that Ed says makes it look like a kid that has been eating chocolate!

some bounce
Had an ouch last night. After cleaning upstairs I rested a bit then prepared dinner. I was walking from the kitchen and placed my cane too far from my body and it slid on the floor. I righted myself quickly but my hip freaked out. Camper brought our cold pack and all seems well this morning. Resting and watching way too much TV today after I clean some on first floor.
Yes... hi to BLSCHUE and PINK and MPMOM and..... and.... ALL

Nancy incubating at her new nest. Nearby DNR nest. No camera this year. Remember, their previous nest fell down in our April ice/snowstorm last year and they lost their young chick. They hope to have a camera up here next season.

Happy Sunday.

Good morning! I checked on Jackie and Shadow last night and both were hunkered down on the nest with bad weather all around. Looked on a little while ago and saw the same scene, Clynn captured! Hatch due soon! E 23 was being fed this am! Initially thought this was a female but now I think it may be too small! Maybe a little M15! Clynn, have fun with the family today and your new tv! Put the eagle cams on there !
Lori, I am still stuffed from all the goodies you posted yesterday! So good!
Lots of laughs with all the caturday posts!
Lani, hope you are rested! Tig, it is okay to rest for a day!
Dreary day but warm! 68 going to 78!
Baz, good pictures and looks like a fun time! Baby Bro growing up!
Phyl, interesting Cardinal and information!
For several years in the last Century, I worked across the street from the original Unos and a few blocks south of Ginos East! Kiddy corner across from the Medina Temple and saw the animals come in for the circus from my window! Did not like the latter!

tig - Oh no, glad you are feeling better since putting cold pack on hip. Don't over do it with the cleaning.
clynn - Thanks for the BB and SWFL pic and update. You have a great son and DIL. Where are you all going out for Sydney's birthday dinner? Love the pic of S&S! R&R together again!
Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and reminder about World Wildlife Day. LOL, ya caught that, huh?
E4E - Hope you had a good weekend.

KB Even reading about the anacronyms is confusing.
LANI Good to be home safe and sound... ;)
CLYNN Walleye only during Lent :( Giordano's in the city may have roof top seating. Was Becky living in the city? E23 " Look out World Here I Come"

Sunday Blessing Beakers!
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Hi Eagles I hope you're having a good weekend. ;D
T40, thanks for links.
Lori, prayers for Big Bear's nest. They always get hit with bad weather. :'( ... Mike would love the banana pie.. yummy Brioche doughnuts! You always serve the best! :-* ... fun Caturday pics.
{{{Baz}}} Love your great pics, it like is was a fun evening! Awesome fieldhouse!! Congrats on the big inter state rivalry game!!! Baby Bro in the NC blue jammies is no longer a baby! He's a big boy with gorgeous hair! ;D :-* .... I sort of mentioned Roy Williams in my post to you, just by posting his name (LOL), I won't deny there's still some hard feelings about that... And he wasn't booed this last visit to Phog Allen's Field House! ;D 8).. But, before that, OUCH! ... Thanks for posting the basketball doings this weekend. MARCH MADNESS is around the corner!!! And I can hardly wait!! Love watching all the games. I think KU may be on the bubble, but that's okay, I'm all in anyway. Wouldn't miss a game! I wonder who will be this year's Cinderella team! 8)
Lisa, love your Caturday morning pic. Meeting was as wearing as the traffic. Glad it's done, next 4 hour meeting will be on zoom the 16th.
Karen, YAY! Great news about E23 branching... cheese/sausage/mushroom with extra cheese on thin crust is my favorite. Though I will not turn away from a magnificent Chicago deep crust pizza with extra cheese :-* .. growing up in Hawaii, people would assume I'm crazy about pineapple or Mai Tais. No to both for me. In fact, no one in my family likes pineapple on anything. My mouth puckers at the thought of eating one. :-X My grandpa worked in the pineapple fields, and never brought one home. Now sugarcane is another story, grandpa would take me out to the cane field across the street from his home, cut a big stalk. Bring it home, remove the outer shell and cut chunks for me and the neighborhood kids to enjoy all day long. ;D 8) .. In case someone thinks about too much sugar, I didn't get my first cavity until I was 22... I loved your comment to Lisa about diapers and walkers. LOLOLOL! ;D ... I hope Piper didn't wear herself out doing taxes yesterday.
Puff, Pastorelli Pizza Sauce is now on my Walmart list! Oh my, your pizza maker will be gone in a sec at the ATF! Love the history of pizza and Tony.
Kb, a stunning rare white Cardinal... Gorgeous Jaquar, he just knows how majestic he is! ... YAY DNR Nancy! Prayers for this year's nest.
{{{Tig}}} Thanks for posting your videos of the Model Ts! Fantastic..... rest and take care, because your sweet Rosie is coming this week. Looking forward to seeing her pics. ;D
Tsk, oh my poor Lulu tackling taxes! We're going to need to get serious about it soon. It's wonderful to see she's handling the task beautifully, being as organized as the briefcase is a great start. :-*
Tsk, Lisa, Clynn, Karen, Phyl My Friday good night pic was from a senior dog rescue. The big ole Bear (my name for the sweet boy) won my heart. He reminded me of our Bandit our Bandido :-* :'( :-*. That we rescued when he thought to be 11. I miss him very much. What a lover boy, Sadie doesn't like to be cuddled like he did. Bandit is one of my avatars. I wish more people would consider adopting a senior dog or cat, who just want to be needed, loved and feel safe in their final years.
Clynn, cute Caturday pics, especially the Munchkins, looks like it was a fun day.... Meeting gave me a headache, then dealing with traffic on the way home, and to top off my day I opened my mail and got a Jury Summons for the 13th! UGH :-\ And the Jayhawks lost their game, that's 2 in a row. We need a Caitlin!! ;D ... Poor Mike had to deal with traffic and listening to the game at the same time. Not good Caturday.... gorgeous pic of S & S, that's a keeper for a frame! Oh no a new TV, so far we've been lucky with our Samsung {{{Erin and Sydney}}}.... Happy to see Rosie and Richmond are together again. Why can't it be that way for our sweet Iris. :-\ :-* ... awww prayers for Big Bear nest, thanks for pic. {{{E23}}} warning the owls who is boss! ;D
Phyl, I enjoyed yesterday's RRP blog "Won't you be my neighbor" ... speaking of neighbors, cute little mouse digging out of its snow bank home after a long winter on the nature video. :-* ... OMG! The cat and its baby chicks!" ;D ...how interesting about the mixed gender cardinal. I'm glad that it isn't lonely too. I hope the couple following this rare beauty will continue to update on it's progress through this spring.

Lani A few things I mention to my clients who go to the islands (maybe bring a surprise home to me?) I mentioned the first before, 100% KONA coffee. Only time I drink coffee. Or bring back a fresh-picked pineapple, or two. I really enjoy them, especially since with my anosmia it's one of the half dozen tastes I still have. Lastly, they should enjoy an island mai tai or two in my honor. Got my recipe from a bartender on Hawaii Island.
Island thoughts back on my mind with all the pineapple talk - I had/have a great remembrances of Oahu. Our familiarization (fam) trips take us and make us learn all the great things no one ever mentions - so I'll mention. Picture this .... In the middle of a pineapple plantation, after some beautiful and loud chanting, our leader/guide escorted the group into an area called "The Birthing Stones." The background, religion, and heritage behind it all was fascinating. The short description: the men of the island would take charge when a royal princess was going into labor - and help her through it. :o I always mention this one when I'm asked for suggestions of unique things to do/see. But you have to have the additional plus of a native Hawaiian so you get the extra knowledge and traditions! Do you know the spot Lani?

Lani - Cute lil morning pic! When you posted Sweet Ole Bear, I had to take a look at your avatar, cause I thought it might have been your Bandit. I am glad that your next long meeting will be on zoom.

baz - Waving at ya!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
Way to go, Caitlyn!! I watched the game - they played great!! Sorry Pistol Pete Maravich... It took 54 years for someone to break his NCAA All-time scoring record!!! Caitlyn Clark did it!!! She's an incredible player! So many good players on both women's basketball teams today - both Iowa and Ohio State Women Basketball teams are excellent and have incredible programs.
Yay! Rosie's ba-a-a-ack!!! :-* :-* :-* Talons crossed for Rosie and Richmond this nesting season!! :-* :-*
Yay! E23 branched, and is looking GREAT!! :-* :-* Say, "Ahhh!" LOL, I love that pic of E23 on the branch, mouth wiiide open! :D
Lisa, oh yum on your crawfish bisque! That sounds sooo good! You made me think about Crawfish étouffée now - I haven't had any in sooo long. I don't think I have seen it on any menu where I live now. I miss it!
Lori, oh my! Banana Cream Pie Day! That looks so scrumptious! And those creme filled brioche doughnuts!! O Gawd... I want some! :D
Clynn, have fun with the family celebrating Sydney's birthday! :D Hmmm, I get the "purist" approach for pizza and tacos, but I consider fish tacos one of the "purist" tacos! They are in places like Cabo and other Mexican coastal communities, and southern CA, and about anywhere there's an ocean surfing community, like where I live. Ugh on your TV going out! :o Dang! Your new TV sounds wonderful though! Love the pics of Talon and Bella, and Sam and Sophie!! :) :-* :-* :-*
TSK, shoot... a rough game for Marquette yesterday... bring on March Madness! ;D Ugh on getting a cold... I hope it's nothing worse, but golly gee, they can be sooo miserable. I hope Tim will get you some yummy chicken soup and you rest up and feel better. Hugs. :-*
Lani, ugh... sorry about the Kansas game - it was so close the whole game. I was nervous! Next time! I don't think they will be on the bubble - they're a Top 10 Team!! I missed you mentioning Roy Williams in your earlier post the other day - I only remembered the Dean Smith reference... or maybe I don't remember it at all. LOL. Getting older is an adventure. ::) ;) :D Yikes on the traffic and white-knuckled drive you had yesterday! I hate that feeling of waiting to see if I'm going to be hit by another car - Sooo glad you stayed safe!! Hugs! Whew! That is no fun! Oh YUM on the sugarcane! What a great treat for y'all, especially as kids! Hope you can lay low and just rest up some today! I had wondered at first if that "Big Ol' Bear" was your Bandit... Love your memories of your Bandit - and in your avatar. :-*
Karen, nice Chicago memories. Do you have another visit soon with your doc for a vertigo appt? You and Piper have a good weekend!
I only walked 20 minutes today - I waited too long to get out and started on my walk, so I had to cut it short to get back in time to see the women's Iowa v. Ohio State game!
I made the White Chicken Chili for early dinner and the UNC game yesterday. It turned out really good! It was a new recipe I found online, and it's a keeper. It turned out good enough that I sent some to one of my neighbors. So I will definitely make it again.
It was from the Cooking Classy website. The link to the whole thing is:
https://www.cookingclassy.com/white-chicken-chili/
I recommend reading the whole shebang at that link, because it gives good info and tips throughout.
If you want to skip the tips and recommendations, you can cut to the chase, and just link to the recipe at:
https://www.cookingclassy.com/wprm_print/30325/
But if you decide to try it, I recommend first reading the whole story and tips in the 1st link above. ;)
I mostly followed the recipe, using most of the rotisserie chicken that I pulled the meat from and shredded it (and packed in the measuring cup) by hand - with only a couple of departures, as I note here. For the green chiles, I bought 2 (4-ounce) cans of Hatch Chopped Green Chiles, (the MILD version) at Walmart, in their Mexican food section. I used the entire contents of both cans, and that worked out well. They come in a HOT version, too, but the MILD ones had a little heat, so I'm glad I went with those. I used a whole 32-ounce box of low-sodium Chicken Broth (instead of 2 14.5-ounce cans), and it wasn't too much liquid. Also, I used 1 can of Cannelloni (White Kidney) Beans, and 1 can of Great Northern Beans (instead of 2 cans of Cannelloni Beans). I did not drain or rinse them. I used the entire contents of both cans. It didn't water down the chili. Regarding the note on the recipe about using 1 cup of reserved beans with 1/4 cup of the chicken broth in the blender till almost smooth, as a thickener, instead of cream or any type of flour, what I did was pour approximately a cup of the canned Great Northern Beans, and some of the liquid from that can, into a small separate pan and used my immersion blender to blend that till it was almost smooth, and then added it to the big Chili pot, when directed in the recipe. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, as directed. It turned out very good! I topped my hot bowl of chili with some of the recommended additional chopped cilantro and some grated Monterey Jack cheese, with some tortilla chips on the side. The avocado I had wasn't ripe yet, but I will maybe be able to put some avocado slices on a hot bowl of leftover chili tomorrow. That sounded like a good optional topping to me, from one of the suggestions in the recipe.
I re-heated the refrigerated leftovers today, and it was a little thicker after sitting overnight in the fridge, but it didn't need thinning at all after it was heated up. So, it was just as good the next day, as soups and stews usually are.
PSST! I attached a picture of the Hatch Mild Chopped Green Chiles I found at Walmart for a decent price, below. It helps me when I know what something I'm looking for looks like... Just sharing, for anyone who wants to give it a try.

Wow, these winds have caused hundreds of thousands of dry tumbleweeds to pile up in South Jordan Utah neighborhoods. This video is insane.
We too have had strong winds today. Including a brushfire as far south as Waseca,MN visible here in the Twin Cities on radar.
-
tsk, I had to double check with Becky! They lived on Cornelia Ave. They were both going to school and working at Michael Reese. The Pizza place with the rooftop seating was Giordano's, she remembered that too! I had guessed both of those and she confirmed! We also went to a show at The Baton, I think it's still there! That would have been in the mid-eighties.
baz, I tell Kelsey I am 29 and that's what she tells everyone when it's my birthday! I tell her that now that she is 30 she is older than me...
Lani, those cute clerical puppies, bless them! Holy Rollers, as tsk said! We let the kittens out on the deck today. They were very wary, a loud car went by and they ran into the house. Very interested in the goings on at the bird feeders! It's 77 and windy and sunny! I remember Bandit, and before that Barkley. Sweet souls you will see some day in the distant future...
kb, tumbleweeds video is incredible! I have seen this in the past, they are so light they blow very easily. Can you imaging opening up your door to that!
Gŕeatest Of Our Time!

Clynn, LOL, I remember you saying that about Kelsey being older than you now that she's 30!! LOLOL!! I love it! :D :D :-* Oh, I also thought about your Kelsey while I was watching Caitlyn's game today. They were talking about how Jayce Sheldon is a big star on the Ohio State team, but that her little sister, Emmy, has also become a big star for that team! She's developmentally challenged, but loves to be in the crowd and on the sidelines cheering on her big sister, Jayce, and the rest of the Ohio State team, with a great smile, like she did during today's game. :) :-* :-*
Clynn, maybe you saw her on TV today, but if not, here's a brief clip of her with her sister from a different game - not today's game... Just click on the "continue as a guest" on the pop-up when it comes up - you don't need to sign in to a tik tok acct to view it: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodnewscorrespondent/video/7327008394378841386
Clynn, but now I'm thinking I mis-remembered how old Sydney is on this birthday of hers! Oops if I missed the correct number for her!! :-[

Lori, prayers for Jackie and Shadow, hope they can persevere. We need to see babies in that nest this year! Lots of goodies and sweet dogs and cats! And the funny videos love the spa Dad and cat! I took this picture of Sam and Sophie from outside, looking into the front window. They were enjoying the sun! They are laying on a stack of games on shelves, the trees are a reflection on the window.

LISA After the Iowa game I laid down " for 30 min" and just woke up in time for dinner LOLOL
BAZI I was so impressed watching the women's NCAA game. The girls just flow together like a dream with no one hogging the shots. Beautiful to watch. We'll see how MU does in March Madness. I love how that chili is plated. Good recipe.
KB Strong winds here too - Afraid the front window might blow in. Our garbage bins blew over. Tim just put bricks on them . Can't imagine living where tumbleweed is so massive.
CLYNN Kelsy :-* :-*

Boy that's really a tumbleweed disaster. I can see why there's a community ordinance about taking care of them.
tsk I learned early on about sugars. Mom's family where from Colorado, they did lots of share cropping ofwhite sugar beets. Cane sugar is what I use an we an get here - Domino. Processed by burning. Weird.
Did you get the summons from DuPage, no wait you're in Cook County? When is that for, wheredo you have to go if you go? I mentioned recently I just did my 4th call to duty, fall 2023. Always interesting, although boring until you get selected.
Sorry to hear about thecold; that can be blamed on the crazy up and down temps recently. Today/tomorrow 70's, then back down to 40's and 50's. Lows dropping into 30's ---- Didn't unplug the birdbath. Whew! Have a hot toddy and crawl into bed early tonight.

She also stated, "On YouTube I saw video posted from RosieanneB, then checked the rewind at the live feed, and there's ANOTHER female peregrine dancing with Newman this afternoon about 4:00. The band number is 60-E, black over blue. I tried the database lookup but didn't get any result."

Everybody's hungry here...so the brats are grilled ready for spicy brown mustard and saurkraut and munster to be

First Look: Aryana Hummingbird on Her 2nd Nest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcT-gkfHAzU
Feb 29, 2024
Aryana is a non-migrating Allen's hummingbird who lives in the coastal area of Southern California. This is her second nest of the 2024 mating season. Aryana started pulling cotton fluff for a new nest on February 21st, the same day that her first brood (Faith and Eros) fledged. We discovered this nest on February 24th, 2024. It's tucked into the sheltered branches of a tree-sized Banana Shrub.
Banana Shrubs are members of the Magnolia tree family. They do not yield fruit. The name is inspired by their creamy-white, burgundy-tipped blossoms, which fill the air with a sweet, unmistakable fragrance--like bananas, some say, or maybe Juicy Fruit.
Thanks to our Partnership with Explore.org, we're able to livestream the entire nesting process, from egg to fledge.

Phyl, very interesting to see Aryana working on her new nest! Interesting morning pic! Wow, you have taken such good care of Maggie for her to be such a beautiful senior lady! Beautiful water falls in the 365! And a gorgeous pic of the Flyway... and the North Nest!
BL, some good tunes there...
Lani, oh that soulful eye, your good night dog...
E4E, we had an absolutely beautiful day yesterday, it got up to 79! A record high for March 3rd! 49 high today, rain this afternoon...
Phyl, brats sound yummy! Was Maggie hungry too? ;D Sydney chose Red Robin for her birthday dinner. I had a great salad, but would not have been my choice (of course, it wasn't my choice!). LOLOL! Wonderful to see Newman and the gals coming around, he must be a hunk in the falcon world!
baz, sweet video of Jayce Sheldon and her little sister Emmy! Kelsey lives for her texts, she has about 15 people (including Dad, Mom, Erin and Sydney) that she texts Good Morning to and then impatiently for replies. Weekdays she can't text them until 7:00, Saturday 8:00, Sunday 9:00. She clock sits every morning, the fingers start as soon as the clock shows the go time! Throughout the day Ed and I get to hear the list of texts she received, sometimes she just reads them to herself. If I don't text her back right away she will tell ed to tell me to text her... :o FYI, Sydney is now 30!
tsk, hope you wake up feeling wonderful today!
So amazing to walk the mile under these 400 live oak trees planted in the early 1890’s at Wormsloe State Historic Site in Georgia.

clynn - Oh, I have not ate at a Red Robin in years. There use to be on outside the Annapolis Mall, but closed years ago. I loved their burgers. I just seen that pic of the oaks trees from a friend of a friend on Facebook, who visited Georgia. Cool pic of Highway to Heaven.
Lani - Aww, another sweet pup good night pic.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
I walked 39 minutes today.
(((Clynn))), oh good, I'm glad I got Sydney's birthday number right. ;) I've never been to a Red Robin. I've heard they have good burgers. You said your salad wasn't your choice. ??? Does that mean you wanted to order something else, but got the salad for health reasons? I'm glad it was good, even tho' not your choice. It sounds like it was a fun dinner out with the Birthday Girl and family. :) (((Kelsey))) :-* :-* LOL on her being so taken with texting!! ;D And yay! that she can text back and forth with so many people! :) My sister was a career Special Needs teacher (you know that title has changed over the years!), and she's retired now (the grandmother to my Littlest Greatniece). She just adored her "kids," and I saw firsthand how they adored her, too, when I got to visit in her classroom from time to time. Over the years, she taught in institutions, public schools, and in private homes, for kids from 2 years old to 9th grade, ranging from "profoundly and severely" to "educably" disabled and everything in-between, and with many different diagnoses and other issues and disabilities, physical, behavioral, mental, emotional... you name it. She's my "go-to" whenever I meet someone with a disability type I'm unfamiliar with. There are so many, and they range from "mild to wild," as I like to say, and as I know you know. I grew up with a number of people who had family members or siblings who had various developmental disabilities, and when they were able, we often included them in our neighborhood play, including a girl who lived a block from me, who had such severe cerebral palsey, she never could walk and had very limited, mostly unintelligible, speech, but who's mental and intellectual ability was of course not affected at all. She was smart! She would sometimes join us (with a family member to look after her) in her wheelchair, outside on the sidewalk, on pretty days when we were kids. Everyone just adored her. Thankfully, her father was a physician, so she got the best quality of care available to her at that time.
(((TSK))), I'm so glad you felt like eating today, and that you don't have fever now. Keep on resting as needed, and I hope you feel better and better! :) :-*
Lani, fingers crossed for you regarding your Jury Summons. Ugh. I have a Jury Summons, too. I have to call the recorded line this Sunday night to find out if my number is needed to appear for the jury pool on Monday. Fingers crossed! I am a few months younger than my county''s age cut-off. That age cut-off here is not mandatory; it's an optional cut-off age. People older than that may serve if they want to and are selected. I won't be one of those. ;) :D
Lisa, you and Jeff get your bridge-crossing schedule in mind for later this week. It's already a bit gusty here, but by Wendesday, a Nor'Easter will start building over NC, heading your way, with lots of wind and rain, so "they" say - so heads-up on that developing weather - hope you can get a good forecast on that, and maybe Jeff might plan on an altered at-home work schedule this week, if it looks like he might need to, and your shopping plans on the other side of the bridge could be affected. I'm sure you're already in the loop on all that - it's in the weather forecast news for your area, as I saw on The Weather Channel today.
Phyl, pretty sunrises!
((Karen)), how are you and Piper today? Is your HHA there? I hope your vertigo is better.

baz, my salad was very good, I just meant that Red Robin wouldn't have been my choice! Their burgers are just too much for me! One of my favorites is Applebees, and we go to the Cracker Barrel occasionally. If it's just me and Ed we go to Outback, that's Ed's favorite. Kelsey is autistic, was diagnosed as severe autistic spectrum disorder at 1 year old. The doctor advised us to maybe reconsider adopting her... She consistently tested at the 3rd grade level on the yearly Iowa Test of Basic Skills. She was diagnosed with moderate to severe hearing loss, but she hears just fine! She is a schedule person, loves to keep track of everyone's appointments! She talks, but Ed is the only one that can understand everything she says. There are some sounds she can't say, something to do with motor skills in her mouth. I better stop now, she has a lot of quirks but she is a happy girl with her simple life! I think Special Ed teachers are angels...
Lisa, what did you buy for Sydney this past weekend? ;D ;D Love the morning view from the window!
Lani, oh no, jury duty! How far is the Apache Reservation from you? Iowa does not have an age disqualification but 'the elderly can ask to be excused for various reasons.'
Lori, I see that it was decided that there was not a pip at Big Bear, but a calcium deposit! It looks sunny but sounds very windy, TWC says it's 44 and the wind is 9mph.

-
BAZI Thanks much for the story about your sister being a special needs teacher and your experience with developmentally disabled as a child. It's a difficult profession and those entering it should be admired. So much new technology now allows for those who can't verbalize to be able to "speak" intelligibly and get all of those "head thoughts" out. Have always enjoyed that Dolly Parton expression.
CLYNN You and Ed have a beautiful family and give Kelsey a stimulating and loved environment where she thrives. :-* :-*
LORI That sure did look like a pip in that photo :(
LISA Why can I picture Sidney in a cute bunny outfit LOL Hope the winds hold off for Jeff.

Lani - I wish I had memories of my Grandfathers; My paternal grandfather who was a part of my life, passed when I was 2 years old, and I don't remember him, although there are pictures of him holding me! I have been told that he had a pocket watch that he would let me hold and that I seemed to like listening to the ticking of the watch. :) Were you chosen to be on the jury?
Phyl - Interesting pic this morning! :) Wow! Maggie's birthday is around the corner! :-* Beautiful waterfall in 365. Pretty Mississippi River Flyway! Love Decorah North E's :-* :)
Clynn - What a beautiful warm day you had yesterday for celebrating going out to dinner for Sydney's birthday dinner! I see you had a salad - you should have gotten what you really wanted! Okay, just read that you meant that Red Robin wasn't your choice of restaurant. I've never been to Red Robin. I've been to an Outback and love the restaurant - although a few years ago, that restaurant in our town closed. Beautiful Oak trees! Wow, Wyoming highway!
LisaG - Glad you & Jeff had a nice weekend. Weather was so cold & rainy that we didn't even think of grilling. We watched some Netflix tho! Oh, I bet you have something special for your Sydney for Easter! :)
Hi Lori!
Tsk - Hope you are feeling a lil better today. :)
Baz - Good for you with your walking! ;D
Karen - Wish that Vertigo would subside and that you would be better soon. {{Karen}}
Tig, Puff, Og, BL :)
Beakers have a good night.

Lisa, love Tsk's Hug in a mug!
{{{Tsk}}} I pray you're feeling even better tomorrow. How is your SIL feeling?
{{{Puff}}} always :-*
Baz, Love the smiling pup! ;D great Dolly Parton quote.
Clynn, Payson is part of the Tonto Apache Reservation. It's been two years since we have a courtroom in Payson. We use to travel to the main courthouse in Globe. ... glad to see nice warm sunny shining down on the Big Bear Eggs... Tsk, our Energizer Bunny needs down time too. LOL! ;D .... Gorgeous tunnel, another Oregon visit site I'll send to Aly... I wish Outback wasn't so far away for us. Everything is in the valley including Red Robin.
{{{Karen}}} sorry about your vertigo. :( .. gentle hugs and prayers
Eagles we posted at the same time... What happened to your grandfather's pocket watch? I'm sorry you didn't have more time with him.... I've been summoned for duty, so it may be a process.
Good night!

Aryana Hummingbird lays the 1st egg in her 2nd nest of 2024 Mar 3, 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd2PuNdehqo
Aryana pulled cotton fluff for a new nest on February 21st, the same day that her first brood (Faith and Eros) fledged. We discovered this nest on February 24th, 2024. It's tucked into the sheltered branches of a tree-sized Banana Shrub. Thanks to our Partnership with Explore.org, we're able to livestream the entire nesting process, from egg to fledge.
NEST DATA: Nest-in-progress first spotted on February 24, 2024.
Egg laying: March 3 at 7:01 a.m. and
Incubation period:
Hatch Watch: 15-18 days after incubation begins.
Fledge watch: 20-28 days is the estimated timeframe from hatch to fledge.

Phyl, good blog from Amy! Love reading a little bit about a lot and the pictures are great! 365, looks like the birds woke up the sleepy owl! 30 right now, high 57 today and yay, calm winds and some sunshine! Great pic of Newman on his dinner table!
Lani, I would love living where you are! Do you have a favorite restaurant in Payson? When will you know if you have to serve on the jury?
E4E, we have warm days coming again, the weather is like a roller coaster! On a Wednesday the high was 35 and on Sunday it was 78! I am wondering what summer will bring! I remember one of my great grandfathers who passed away in 1963, he had a pet raccoon that sat on his shoulder! He and my great grandmother were very poor, their house was never painted, they never had indoor plumbing. We knew them as Gramps and Granny. He had chickens and bees, and sold eggs and honey, and she quilted. She passed in 1975. They were both born in 1884!

KAREN I feel terrible you can't get a correction on that vertigo issue this time. Hope you can hang on til Thurs.
LANI SIL Margaret has recovered pretty well from the liver biopsy that then had a bleed and she had to be back in the hospital a couple days. The liver biopsy was negative for cancer - YAY Now the original problem - the tumor on her kidney will be removed on the 23rd.
EAGLES Agree with LANI Grandpa's pocket watch could be a wonderful treasure if it still exists.

tsk - From the looks on my weather app, it looks like the winds will be here on Thurs, so he will be home working. Glad to hear that Margaret is recovering. Prayers for her upcoming surgery!
((Karen)) - I hope the vertigo is a lil better today.
Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post, and the pics. We are having a miserable rainy day, too.
E4E - Nothing wrong with staying home and watching a good show. I have been hooked on a Hallmark series that comes on Sunday night. It's so good.
Lani - Thanks :)
clynn - Jeff was telling me about that massive snow storm this morning. I think he said, more was to come?
Happy Anniversary, E4E & Kris!!

kb - I am watching The Way Home
The Way Home tells the story of three generations of women – Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), her teen Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) and Kat’s mother Del (Andie MacDowell) – who are all strong, willful and independent. More than 20 years prior, life-changing events prompted Kat to move away from her small, Canadian farm town and she remains estranged from Del to this day. At a crossroads in her life, Kat moves back with Alice to her family’s farm though the reunion isn’t what Kat envisioned. When Alice and Kat unwittingly discover the ability to travel between the past and present, mother and daughter are determined to unearth the truth around the earlier tragedies as they try to change the course of events. Kat’s childhood friend Elliot (Evan Williams) is there for them in both eras as they navigate their journeys across time, helping the three women find their way back to each other.
I didn't start watching it till after the first season was over, and Hallmark had a whole first season recap on New Years Day. I got interested in it then. I have watched the first season a few times to pick up on different clues.

Thanks, Lisa!..sounds good. I googled Hallmark recents and I figured it must be the one you are watching or The Ride (rodeo one)...
We are running into a lot of our favorite series on hiatus so always looking for something new and different.
Thanks again.

Royal Albatross :-*
Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)
Top Flat chick is 42 days old and weighs 3.3 kg at 9.59am this morning. This is 500g lighter than today’s heaviest chick of 3.8 kg. Last week Top Flat chick’s weight was 2.2 kg so today has been a sizable increase. LGK and LGL were both in at around 8.20am this morning. One of them had also fed their chick at 4.30am when it was still too dark to see the bands.
Check out Top Flat chick’s weight compared to the averages for males and females of the same age and the past Royalcam chicks.

Thank you Beakers for ALL the happy anniversary wishes!! Kris says thank you too, and he enjoyed sitting and looking/reading all your kind wishes!! Tsk- Pretty roses and champagne - which I will enjoy a glass later! LisaG- Pretty pastel heart - thank you so much! Kb- Thank you so much for your message - we appreciate it! Tig- Thank you for your nice message - nice of you! Clynn- Pretty anniversary gif - thank you so much!! Lani- Such a darling vintage-looking card-so cute! We will be going out to dinner later-we have a 6:00 reservation in Pacific Grove which isn't too far from here (maybe a 35 minute drive)! :) Lori- Beautiful anniversary wishes for us- love the ocean scene & those darling hearts in the sand :-* - Love the peace sign!! Sure wish we could taste that luscious dessert today!! Phyl- Love those sweet little birds on the pretty card- beautiful flowers and we thank you so much!
-
E4E - Sounds like you and Kris have a nice evening planned.
Lani - Thanks for the Royal updates and pics, love the family moments one. Aww.
kb - I could not get into Ride, but did watch a few episodes. If you do watch, The Way Home, start from season 1 and catch up, or you will be lost. LOL
Lori - Waving to ya!
-
Gotcha, Lisa - willl do..
Been out gardening.....well, picking up leaves from some areas where I cut my oriental grasses back..already have green new shoots. Found my tulips and phlox breaking ground under where I store my red glider chairs I painted and normally put on my front deck....so,
Of course I had to clean my front deck, put the outdoor rug down, move and clean the chairs to the deck and rake the leaves from tulips and phlox.
Much more, but you get the picture.
I don't believe it will snow much if any more this year. Push come to shove all will be well and my chairs and rug are under a roof....
Getting a head start for sure and sure feels dang good...More spring summer to enjoy this way if all is picked up before it starts to bloom.
I do remember a March in like oh I dunno for sure 2013 or 2014?...where all the garden plants were up and blooming and the grass was green...seems like this might be another year like that one.
Probably another strong El Nino year.

LANI Am still amazed at how calm the parent is when ranger scoops it up for weighing :o Hope Mike doesn't have to be gone long.
EAGLES Enjoy dinner out. ;D
KB I can't get myself excited about spring clean-up yet.
Took Tim to day surgery today for repair of two "trigger fingers" Supposed to be 11 AM appt ( be there at 10) but did not get taken til 11:45. Home by 1:15 and made it to my bible study a bit late.. :D

Eagles and Kris! A bit late but Happy Anniversary. Glad you are having a nice dinner out! Enjoy it and the coming year!
Tsk, the md fixes the vertigo and I leave in good shape! I screw it up at home! Last time I bent over to get something out of the freezer drawer! Knew when I bought this I should have purchased the side by side!
Hope Tim is doing well!
Thanks for allthe posts and seds

CLynn just love the 'old ladies' this morning. We're not what we 'use to be' anymore. ;) I hear that shout out...
Oh my! That snow for City of Colfax California.
Tsk what a cute turtle this AM. Tks. for update on Margaret---prayers for her surgery. That table in my AM post is intriguing w/respect 'how'd they do that?' A lot of work; hope all works out and Tim's procedure will fix him right up.
Lisa latte looks good this AM
{{{Karen}}} hopefully the vertigo is less today---oh just read doc has you all 'fixed'. ;)
Lori delicious shades of blue anniversary cake for E4E and Kris
Lani tks for Royal Albie update---weigh day for our chicks, sounds like TF is doing better. Great snaps of TF and LGL , he's looks so cuddly with
that down---nice family snap; safe travels today
Eagles y/w, sounds like a nice evening for you both.
KB hope you have an easy spring like 2014 ; we'll have some weeding---have plants selected to replace the azalais that perished---in MO
didn't have to baby those like ours here.
BL a real feline 'face off' over territory for sure---sounds like a siren, ambulance. Get me to set up in bed. ;D

Happy Day, Beakers! :D
I walked 37 minutes today.
Clynn, gotcha on your salad and Red Robin info. It sounds like Kelsey is doing really well!! Y'all have a wonderful family! :) :-* :-*
Lani, fingers crossed on your jury duty situation. Hope Mike has a good trip to Gila and is back before long. My Heels won tonight - their last home game this season, so it was Seniors Night. Always a special occasion. I see your KU Jayhawks have a big lead right now - also on their home court, so maybe this is their Senior Day also? My team's last regular season game is this Saturday - at DOOK!!! Go Heels! ;D
Lisa, I never got a chance to listen to the weather today to see if that Nor'easter is still expected to develop tomorrow near me, and then roll up the Atlantic coast in your direction. Sounds like maybe so, since you said Jeff will work from home on Thursday and Friday this week. Hope it won't cause any big issues up your way.
I'm fading fast. Waving to All the Beakers!
Good Night, All.

Phyl, great pics this morning, Newman, duck.... beautiful owl in nature video... interesting RRP blog.... thanks for Aryana update.
Clynn, we have a favorite Mexican Food restaurant called La Sierra, as well as best place to get a good steak, caesar salad (Fargo's), trout (Diamondpoint), burgers (Pinewood Tavern) BBQ (Rim Country).... I'll know about jury duty when I call in Tuesday.... We had our first phone in 1963, and I can't remember any of our numbers.... That snow storm in CA reminds me of last year's storm in Mammoth, CA.
Eagles, I hope you and Kris had a lovely day and dinner. :)
{{{Tsk}}} Very happy news about Margaret testing negative for cancer. ... prayers for her and upcoming surgery.... {{{Tim}}} I hope his surgery went well...
Lisa, The Way Home sounds very interesting.
Baz, Grateful KU won tonight! Whew! Yes, senior night too.... Glad your Tarheels won too! Now, talons crossed for their last games on Saturday as we head into tournament play.
Good night!

So sorry E4E :-* Kris Didn't get to sit down until about 8 last night - Missed your yearly celebration. Was last year your 25th, so now 26?
Had lots to keep me crazy busy yesterday. Worst/best was I had no hot rod and very best was a friend to chauffer me a couple of times. Glad the rough seasonal stuff seems to be over. Found out too late that the snow wasn't snow. Crunch. Anyway, I wish it were just as easy to repair my own backside bumper. ::)
Sorry about overlooking you special day. Have a sweet evening today - have a sweet evening every day. Hugs to you both.

Lani, love all the doggie noses! Thanks for the Alby report, always enjoy it so much! Sounds like you have some great places to eat out! I can tell that you are so looking forward to March Madness! That phone number that I remember is from 1958, when we lived at 1112 Utah Ave in Alamogordo NM. I was in 1st grade. The house is still there! I see that they added on, the window on the right was where the carport was, it was a very tiny 2 bedroom, with very little grass still!
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5b/4c/b7/5b4cb78e3219e050eaaaafda11b17399.jpg)
Phyl, the Wollemi pine is beautiful, I hope they are able to bring it back. Wow, exyinct 2 million years ago! Fancy owls! We are at 30, heading for 59 today! Sweet and simple 365 today, love the sounds...
BL, try this one out, also scary! Heard something similar from Harley when a strange cat was looking in the front glass door... https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=cats+fighting+noise+youtube&&mid=C6CC3738C520CC287B96C6CC3738C520CC287B96&&FORM=VRDGAR

I just got home when Lisa texted and said did I call Puff? Had no idea what she was talking about LOL Then I got in the Forum just now and What a scare!!!

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
{{{Karen and Puff}}}
Lisa, I think we'd feel the same way about driving over your bridge. We hate driving down 87 to the valley.
Tsk, I hope Tim is doing well today... I just saw your post. Glad Tim is doing well!! ;D
Clynn, cats are getting ready to rumble! You have a good memory for numbers. I'm terrible. It took me 5 years to remember our Payson landland. Mike has my SS# memorized, I'm lucky to remember the last 4.... I was so upset when our Kansas 5 digit phone number changed to 7. Then you add the area code. LOL! .... awww Rosie :-*
Phyl, Pretty fabric owls.... a good meal for the Eurasian curlew.... Thanks for women's link... interesting about the fossil trees article ....

karen, tsk's suggestion of a neck brace might be just the thing to get you past that vulnerable time! Glad to hear Puff is just having computer issues! That had me scared! Thanks for calling her and reporting to the Beak!
Lani, thanks for the Bear update, even if it was about all the other critters that live at the beautiful Bear Center!
tsk, I was born at Holloman AFB (1952) and according to Mom, we lived in a little house trailer on the base. Cathy was born a year and a half after me (1953), still in the trailer! Then we went to Germany for 2.5 years and lived at 3 different bases there. After that we returned to Holloman and Dad bought that little house on Utah Ave in Alamogordo. In 1959 Becky was born (in the same room and hospital as Cathy and I) and in 1960 we went to England for 2.5 years. Then to Luke AFB near Phoenix for 4 years. In 1966 Dad went to Viet Nam for a year and we lived in Albion. When Dad came home from VN we went to Duluth AFB until he retired in1969. Then we all lived in Albion. The reason we were 2.5 years in Germany and England was because Dad went before us for 6 months to get everything ready both times. Mom had to fly to Germany and England with us little ones by herself. ;D FYI, Mon was 17 when I was born and had never been farther from Albion than the Smokey Mountains and never on a plane. Back then planes had to stop in Iceland or Greenland to refuel when crossing the Atlantic! More info than you asked, but I couldn't stop! This picture is 1955.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
I made avocado toast this morning! Mmmm... Soggy day - didn't go for a walk.
Clynn, I love the throwback family portrait you posted today!! :) :-* I can't believe you can remember the dates, places, andorder of all those moves!! Your mom became well-traveled very quickly! :D Love your family stories. :-*
TSK, I forgot to say yesterday, that I was so happy for your news that Margaret's liver biopsy was negative and that she's recovering quickly from that now, and also, that her kidney cancer surgery is now re-scheduled for soon. Thank goodness! Great news that Tim is back on "Go" since his surgery on two fingers... same hand? I hope he gets a good result and will heal quickly. How are you feeling? Some colds' symptoms seem to linger... I hope you're still reserving your extra energy for YOU! and are fully back to your normal soon. (((Margaret, Tim, TSK)))
Brrr, I feel cold today - but it isn't cold! So I need to get up and get moving!! ;) :D
Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All! :) :-*

Had thought about a neck brace and mentioned that to someone! Seems reasonable. I remember old phone numbers but not those in the recent past or my cell phone!
Anxious to see the brackets . Guess it will be the top 16 or do they begin with 32?
Glad Tims fingers seem better and good news for Margaret! Have they biopsied the kidney tumor? Got to run!

We've had .25" of rain so far today and during the noon hour, we had loud thunder for a while!
I was actually composing a post and was almost done at 10 this morning, but hit a wrong key accidentally and 'poof' went my post, so I got busy in the kitchen and am now getting back to beginning a post again, but of course it is never quite the same! ::)
LisaG - Yes, we had a nice evening out yesterday-thank you! How is your Mama doing? Glad that Jeff will work from home due to the weather conditions.
Tsk - How are Tim's fingers doing today? Hope he isn't in a lot of discomfort. Okay, just read what you said about Tim's status-thank you! That is Awesome news that your SIL Margaret is negative for cancer on her Liver. Wishing her all the best for her procedure that she will have on the 23rd. Thoughts & prayers for her.
Bl - Wow those Lynx - would not want to hear that anywhere near me! ;D
Karen- Thank you for your nice anniversary greeting for us - we really appreciate it! ;D
OG- So perfect - the vw Love Bugs-so cute!! We love it and my hubby thanks you so much too - he really enjoyed all the posts!!
Phyl - Cute night gif last evening! :)
Baz- Thank you so much for the pretty anniv. post - so nice of you and we very much appreciate it! :)
Lani - Thank you & yes we did! I have 2 favorite restaurants for authentic Mexican food (Jardine's and Dona Esther-both are in San Juan Bautista, CA) and 2 favorite places that make the best burger (The Sand Bar in Capitola, CA and Nepenthe in Big Sur, CA) Very yummy!!
Safe travel for Mike to Gila Bend today and hope he doesn't have to be there long!
Puff- Oh no, are you okay? Sorry to hear about your car :o Thank you for the anniversary wishes-so nice of you to post, especially since you didn't have the best day. Just for sake of mentioning, it is 36 yrs for us. You have a lot on your plate now and I feel so bad for you. {{{Puff}}}
Lani & Tsk - My Grandfather's pocket watch has been missing for years - sure wish I had it as a special keepsake.
Clynn - Wow-love the story of one of your great grandfather's had a pet racoon that would sit on his shoulder!! ;D ;D Your great grandmother lived a long life!! Sounds like they were hard-working folks. :-* Amazing that you found and posted a pic of the house you lived in when you were so young! ;D Loved reading your family history and that is a special family picture from 1955! :) :)
Karen - Thank you so much for posting about Puff having computer problems - that was scary to see. :o
Puff - You gave all of us in the Beak a big scare. That post!! :o :o Glad you are alright. Hugs.
Tig - Hope Rosie arrives soon - so you can start loving on her!! :-* ;D
Lori - Hugs for you & Destini! :)
Going to say good night early, as I need to take care of some personal stuff on my computer. Beakers stay warm & safe and have a good evening. Hugs to All!

LANI Lynn experiences wonderful "nature TV". Thanks for his update. :D
CLYNN All of your location history is familiar but when you present it like this complete journey it is one amazing whirlwind esp for such a young mom . Great photo minus Becky :) Very interesting piece about Rt 66 Our camping trips out west were on the original Rt 66.
TIG Hope Rosie got there today.
BAZI Day 6 of my cold and all day now without a fever and my energy is back!! Tim is some discomfort ( index and baby finder of left hand) but hasn't stopped him from managing his day. ;D
KAREN I do not think they biopsied the tumor but seem to know by the scan that it is cancerous. They will take it off and then monitor with scans every few months, No chemo or radiation. Probably will know more on the 23rd.
EAGLES Speaking about computers, I wondered why my inbox of mail was empty today. Seems all my new mail is going into spam! Kind of a mess but did what I was told to do to straighten it all out but seems to me the problem is at their end...sigh.

BL I would hope to have a chamber pot in that tent !!!

baz - Waving back at ya!
E4E - Sorry about your post going poof! Hope you all had a great anniversary dinner. Mama is doing good.
tsk - I hope your email problems get sorted out and into the right box.
oldguy - Thanks for the videos.
BL - Oh no, poor Kopje!

Phyl, Newman is waiting... 39 here, 58 for the high with occasional showers. State of the Union, interesting! And it's tonight! The 365 looks kind of like a moonscape... Love the bee on the daisy! Ed's oldest sister raises bees, and also two of his nieces! We get delicious honey for Christmas! I bet the birds love that old dead tree at the Flyway!
Lani, The bears should be appearing soon at NABC! Spring is almost here!
BL, oh no, Kopje and the porcupine! Hopefully lesson learned... ;D Great Neil Young tune!
oldguy, lots of good stuff! Thanks foir the update on Lahaina, and the Sierra Nevada snow...WOW! Still watching the other videos!
tsk, we could have passed each other on Route 66 many moons ago, that was the main highway to get to Grandma and Grandpa's from the west! There are a few bits of the original road in Springfield. It has always amazed me how narrow the roads were back then and how huge the cars were!
tig, hope you get Rosie today!
SF Bay Ospreys - Both Rosie and Richmond brought sticks and nesting materials to the upper nest today. Rosie also spent a long time with a fish on a light pole, as well as perching on the rail near the lower, original nest site. Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

More interesting local tidbits about Route 66 from Darien Clynn . . .
Same here as you mentioned - as you drive I55 just out of Cook County there are several sections now and then off the side like a frontage road where they have left remnants of 66. I heard the local land owners were able to say leave it. Strange. We moved out from Colorado to Illinois but took quite a few visits back home to visit family before 55 opened.
Another mention is the break in the trees - If you stand on the new/true frontage road now and look to the southwest off in the distance you see where the trees and growth was cleared because of use of the land for 66. Must take a long time for nature to reclaim her territory.
P
*Temporary puter setup is back working this morning as you can see! Yeah. Hope to have the new machine this weekend.

karen, your 'shake and bake treatment'! Be sure to ask about the neck brace!
Puff, yes, there are just random places where a bit of Route 66 remains, and usually there is a sign! There is one in Springfield on Peoria Road before it merges into I-55. There are several places, like the Cozy Dog that were on Route 66 through Springfield that are still open.

((Karen)), I hope the shake and bake visit comes out just right today! ;) :) I had a lot of rain, but not much in the way of storms.
Waving to All the Beakers! :D
After I posted yesterday, the rain had stopped and the clouds were breaking up. So I made it a long walk to pick up my mail - about 16 minutes... better than nuttin'. ;) :D
Have a good day, All! :)

P.S. Regarding cats in trees... When we were kids and would go to Dad begging him to get the cat (any cat - ours, neighbor's, or unknown) out of the tree, after we had spent all our efforts on getting it down failed to get results - climbing, calling, food and treats tempting - our father would always say, "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?" ;D 8)
P.P.S. Not to fear though... My father would help when needed. The "stuck in a tree" cats almost always ended up coming down on their own, if we had not gotten it down ourselves, after probably half-traumatizing them. ;D If it started getting toward the dusk of the day, my father would always make sure to get the cat down, all safe and sound. :) :-*

NO shake and bake today! He feels it is not working , gave me another set of exercises to do at home. BRandt and Darpff. Do a set of 5, 3x a day for 14 days. He says he has had good luck with this. I see him near the end of the month. No meds available he asked if I was trying any and said no,
bu they gave some at the home which of course did not work! There is a surgical procedure that can be done. I would have to go to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, I Florida for a series of tests and if They get the right test results they operate and put a plug in the ear canal. Not sure I am a surgical candidate!
Baz, sounds like the weather is not as bad as predicted and tgat it would be safe for Lisa to cross her bridge!
We have a new Home Goods here! Opened in the store formerly occupied by Bed, Bath and Beyond! Good deal!
Good for Rosie, Tig and Camper!

This is just such an amazing story out of Maple Plain, MN
Bottom line: Angus the horse cast himself in his stall. After 5 hours plus of trying to get him up with no luck and his heart slowing, the Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation came and rescued him to the UofM and saved his life.
Brought tears to my eyes:
BEAU'SELLE STABLES (Maple Plain) Feb 22.: "I felt this should be posted. I have to honor an amazing group that serves our community. They often may get overlooked due to so many trials over the last handful of years here.
On Friday our beloved Angus (my son’s horse) cast himself in his stall and we don’t know when it happened in the night, but when my amazing staff found him in his stall that morning they acted quickly to help him. Unfortunately, it was a perfect storm of circumstances and he could not stand. He pushed himself into the aisle when we tried to turn him in the right direction. 5 hours of trying and work went on with our staff and our vets at Anoka equine and everyone gave everything they had to help him. Coming to the realization that he was becoming unresponsive and had so much trauma and shock to his system both the vet and I reached out to the Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation who headed over with the horse trailer, rescue officers and equipment. In less than 15 minutes they moved him from the aisle to the arena and loaded him into their trailer. Knowing he would probably pass away in the trailer we took the chance to get him to the U of M where they had equipment that could help him if he could make it. He was lifeless and his heart had slowed to a dangerously slow beat. The police in terrible traffic - were able to avoid - with their vehicle made it to the U about 3 minutes behind us. Without them Angus had no chance of survival.
The Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation are the only group in the state trained in large animal rescue. Their program was originally defunded by the city council in Mpls during the chaos that has taken place in our city and the police department has continued their existence. They are a non profit and without their skill, dedication and commitment Angus would be gone. I can’t thank them enough and we couldn’t be more in need for a group like this to continue to also help break down barriers between the police and welfare of our community. They serve our community in such a positive way and I just wanted to thank them with all my heart and hope to let others know to recognize them and help support their efforts in our community."
*****
March 2, Update on Angus! ❤️
Since our boy’s arrival at the U, almost completely lifeless 2 weeks ago, and from the moment Angus stood he has never looked back! He has two large tears in his hind leg muscles and a hematoma. He has had to work at placing his feet slow and steady and regain his balance walking but he continues to march forward. He’s a fighter and we couldn’t be more proud of him and his recovery. Angus has to remain in the sling until he can lie down and get up on his own as he has not attempted too, but currently he is climbing mountains! ❤️ He’s making huge progress everyday.
*****
What does a "cast" horse mean?
KENTUCKY EQUINE RESEARCH: "A horse that has lain down too close to a fence or wall and gotten into a position from which he can't get up is referred to as a “cast” horse. Cast horses sometimes panic and struggle, while others simply lie in the cast position until help arrives."

karen - We had alot of rain all day yesterday. They yard was looking like a swamp.
tig - Aww, cute pics of Rosie. Your "seasoned butt" sounds delicious.
Lani - Thanks for the bearstudy update on the Eagles Nest Township Eagle Day.
clynn - You find the most interesting pics! Aww, SWFL kiddo, so cute and big!
tsk - LOL, taking out your mail frustration and cleaning fridge!

Have a good night, everyone!

Here is a video from Claire today that is important for all cat owners...
I Started It for TT, But Things Got Out of Hand... (ENG SUB) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTJMnKcZDBs

Lani liked the G/N image---wonder 'Why?' Tks for Bear Study
Lisa that's a nice cuppa Joe this AM.
CLynn well preserved Hippy Grandma; ; 'Tis bee season and not long b 4 I c them about.
Tks. for SF Bay Ospreys Rosie and Richmond update--great snap. Sue Bruhling - Awwwwww! Look at Little Eve/E23 and look at her now
.
Tsk hope your PC improves
Puff I also have Xfinity w/Comcast , for everything. Nice of PC guy to set you up w/ a loaner
Karen oh that Alfa Romeo is lovely and so would be the insurance on primo antique such as that one. Luv to open it up on an empty stretch!
Tig Awwww Rosie---Oh My..." I just popped my seasoned butt into the slow cooker.' Too funny.
Yes...SOTU is tonight ::)
-
KAREN Of course I had to look this up LOLOL Your doc is giving good advice. You should be able to do these at home. Maybe first on a day when the HHA is there.
"The main difference between the Brandt-Daroff maneuver and the Epley maneuver is the difficulty. The Epley maneuver is more challenging than the Brandt-Daroff exercise. It is safer to perform the Epley maneuver only in a clinical setting with a doctor or another healthcare provider.Mar 4, 2020"
I love Home Goods. Easy to spend a lot of time there ::) ::) Our Bed Bath and Beyond bit the dust too.
KB I should have read to the end first but looked up " cast itself " in the stall ::) Great story. I know nothing about horses and stalls but should the stall be bigger? Sounds like Angus will make it.
LISA So you caught all the rain yesterday. Can appreciate the "swamp" comment.
OLDGUY Claire certainly does a lot for her cat health.
-
tsk - to your question "should the stall be bigger?" I have no idea and wouldn't have thought about it's size. Scott is the horse expert. He lived on a horse farm....sorry.
From what I read it sounds like a horse could get him or herself into this situation against any fence or wall. Furthermore, aren't stalls all sort of the same size?
-
Tsk, I knew you would, that is why I added the name! Lol! Will start in the morning. Shortly before the Hha comes so she can call 911 when she gets here! Not really!

Tig, I just printed the recipe for Pork carnitas at tastes better from scratch.com ;D ... awww sweet Rosie, she looks well. How is she feeling? ... awesome man who rescues cats in trees.
Kb, prayers for Angus.

Lani, great Bearstudy! How wonderful would it be to have an eagle swooping for food within feet of your gazing window!
Phyl, thanks for the articles, on my list to read after I get dressed! 47 and rainy today. 50, 59 and 71 for the next 3 days, all sunny!
E4E, there seems to be a good bit of technical issues going on in this world! Hope you can get it resolved, I always have to consult my password spreadsheet when I have to sign into something that I usually don't have to sign in for.
karen, I hope this new procedure works for your vertigo! And I am sure you appreciate tsk's comments! It's good to have a retired PT professional in our midst!
tsk, we have a Home Goods too and I can easily spend an hour or more browsing! So much cool stuff! I also like browsing Hobby Lobby, and we have an At Home store nearby which also interesting.
kb, prayers for Angus... thank goodness they got to him in time.
baz, where do you put the quarter? LOLOL!
tig, Rosie is a cutie for sure!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
KAREN LOLOL "Call 911 when she gets here" ::)
EAGLES Yikes, hope it was just a glitch and you can get back on..
LANI I have free AOL so no support really. I'm resigning up for e-mails I get regularly as it seems that's is what took the hit. The thought of changing e-mails at this late date is mind boggling to me. LOL I do already have a gmail acct which I had to set up because I use Chrome but I do not use it for e-mail. I think I am getting all regular mail. One good thing is that I'm not getting all the unwanted mail that I would delete. ;D
PHYL I'm liking this "images and sounds" series 365 Interesting about strong women in history.
CLYNN " us beautiful imperfections" Love it. :) Our Hobby Lobby is across the street from Home Goods and Michaels LOLOL. I could be gone all day ::) Don't think we have an At Home :-\
Well an awful thing just happened. Tim just woke and said did you see the deer that is dying on our fence? WHATT??? I will not post the picks. Seems it tried to jump and on its way down jumped through a tomato hoop. Police are here now and since it is still occasionally breathing may shoot it. More later.. SOOO sad.

Oh Tsk, poor Bambi! Just wanted to see your pretty yard and have a bite to earpt! Never thought of tomato cages as a weapon!
Phyll, Doctor has been doing the Eply for a long time! Works for 24 hours or less! Will try this new one!
Clynn, love your peanut family! You are finding a lot of roads through interesting landscapes that appear to lead to no where! Your Mother is a strong woman who did what she had to do when a young girl and still seems to do the same! Good for her! Well adjusted, I would guess!
Lani, you are having a lot of meetings! Keeps you on your toes!
Cloudy day, in the 70s. Keep running 7 degrees above normal. Will drop to a high in the 60s for a few days and then back up! I am dreading the summer and hurricane season! Oh well, almost every place has an issue! I will celebrate Culvers and Home Goods!

Just click the blue link to watch a local video of a bald eagle on a house roof with squirrel in hand. But, first it stands in the road, then walking that funny walk to pick up the road kill. In the end it drops it.

some bounce
TSK... Oh NO !!! So sorry for you both, and the deer.
I have puppy fog brain. I just realized it is Friday and we forgot to put the recycling out. Smile. No biggie. It will be there next week.
We plan to try a local Am. Legion today... they are supposed to have a fabulous restaurant and a great fish fry.
Rosie and I slept in this a.m. I felt it more important for my health to have puppy hugs rather than a cool pool. Maybe Monday...
BBL and Caitlin is in Mpls. WooHoo!

LISA Pouring here right now. I'm so glad for the rain.
LANI One happy dog buddy ;D ;D ;D Have a good meeting.
KB Said page wasn't available :'( :'( Just saw the video on FB. If I were that woman instead of continuing to film I would have gone out and scared it off the street!
TIG When we were kids it was a big deal on occasional Friday nights to meet Grandma and Grandpa - who was the commander of the American Legion post- at the Post restaurant for the best fish fry ever. Good memories. Let me know how you liked it. We particularly liked that they served real butter LOLOL You and Rosie both had a good night ;D

TSK - one of the methods used by email servers to screen out spam is to block any email that has multiple recipients if that sender is not in your address book. These types of subscription messages fall under this rule and when you sign up for them the instructions will often say to add their email address to your address book. Email servers are always upgrading their methods to block spam and hackers, so AOL recently made a change that effected you.
Another issue that was recently found, was a hacker email that changes your link to a fake server.
Is AOL closing old email accounts?
The letter is a fake notification claiming that the email service provider is shutting down all outdated versions of email accounts. Recipients are urged to avoid being deactivated by clicking on a link that would redirect them to a "newer and more organized version of the mailbox".Feb 1, 2024
If this happened to you, remove your current bookmark and then go directly to AOL email on your browser - https://mail.aol.com/ and create a new bookmark
Hope this is helpful

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
(((TSK))) That's so sad, and just awful, for that deer! And for witnessing its suffering. :'( Prayers for the deer not to suffer long.
(((Karen))) I know the Epley Maneuver is done one way if the vertigo is in the right ear, and a different way, if the vertigo is in the left ear. If it is done backwards, or incorrectly, it makes it worse. Your doc would do it on the correct side, but I wonder if when it made it worse when you tried it at home the other day, if it was accidentally done on the wrong side. This link does explain about that, and other things people would want to know when doing the Epley maneuver at home, including some conditions that would preclude using it:
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/home-epley-maneuver
Anyway, I'm sorry it hasn't been giving you better, longer-lasting relief, even when done correctly. I hope the alternate home exercise/maneuvers your doc gave you yesterday will bring you better results. Hugs. :-* I'm with you regarding the upcoming summer and hurricane season nervousness!
I'm off to run some errands. It's a gorgeous day, and a bit cooler and breezy. I want to walk after I get back - I never went for my walk yesterday.
Waving to All the Beakers! Have a great day, All! :)
-
I've had BPPV since I had a viral infection in my ears in my 30's. Acute back then and intermittently chronic since.
Had multiple Epley maneuvers performed at a local Balance and Dizziness center by special PT therapists over years.
At some point it stopped being helpful so they tried a French manuever I think called Sement.
Also sent home with home exercises.
A few of those professional treatments also made it worse. I now wear a Scopolamine patch behind my ear when I sense it "incoming" which immediately prohibits it from taking a full course.
The best treatment for me was suggested I fly to some other treatment center outside of Minnesota for a special chair? I opted nada. Maybe Cleveland?
-
tsk - Oh no, I totally missed your comment about the poor deer. So sorry that you all had to witness that. Yay for your rain. Ours is supposed to start some time tomorrow morning.
Lani - Hope all goes good with your meeting. Cute morning pic of the happy dogs!
karen - Hope hurricane season is not too bad this year.
tig - Enjoy your fish fry dinner, and puppy hugs.
baz - Enjoy your walk.
-
KB... Sorry for that condition. Hope it doesn't come back.
On our way to the restaurant I saw a new ( to me) BE nest, along 61 south of town, riverside. And it was occupied. :)

Tig - Enjoy your little Rosie!! She has it made with you & Camper ;D
Bl - Poor Kopje - hope all the needles have been removed and that he is doing better.
Baz - Sounds like a nice walk to your mailbox and back ;D Cute comic!!
Karen - Hope your drs are able to come with a good plan for your vertigo. {{Karen}} I love 'Home Goods' store!
Kb - Wow- Angus' story is heartwarming, and so happy he is on the mend and that the outcome is a happy one!! Blessings to all those who helped Angus.
Tsk - Nice to have a clean fridge - always a good feeling when the chore is complete! ;)
Phyl - I don't think it was a rolling black out, but you never know! It sure knocked everything out over here. After trying for a while last night, we waited until this morning and restarted our Internet signal. Love all the live cam pics!
Lani - Hope Mike got back home and that you had a nice evening!
Clynn - Last night's power outage was so different; as when I was trying to sign onto my computer, it was telling me to put in a password and I couldn't figure out where we would have such a password (it might have been on the Internet Router)? Anyway, gave up last night, and this morning, I unplugged the Router and plugged back in and booted up my computer with no problem. Amazing picture of Death Valley Nat'l Park!
Tsk - Oh no - how awful for that poor deer :'( :'( I feel so bad for you in seeing the poor deer that way. So sorry.
Hi LisaG!
Hi Og :)
Beakers have a nice day.
-
karen wanted me to let the Beakers know that she is unable to get into the Beak Room or anything for that matter! She is getting a message that the sight 'is not secure'. Not just the Beak Room but everything she tries to open. Her help didn't come today, her son is sick, so karen is kind of stuck. I asked her if she could reset her router, but it's under her desk and she can't get to it. Hopefully her neighbor across the street will come home from work soon, maybe she can help.
E4E, if you look on the bottom of your router the factory password should be there. Most people don't change it, so you might try that. What is going on with all these technical issues all over the place? :o
-
OLDGUY I never got that notice from Feb 2024. I am getting the free AOL so am sure no fringes attached. I have heard about putting those emails in my address book. I will see about doing that tomorrow. Thanks for the info.
LISA The deer must have been in that position for a while as it was all bloody and you could see how it must have struggled
TIG Yay a new nest discovered before all the leaves come out.
EAGLES LOL You did the thing you always do first when something isn't right - Unplug!! Glad it worked :D
CLYNN Maybe Karen should just unplug the computer for a bit and then plug in again.
Heading out in a bit to see great niece the up and coming Broadway actress LOL in her first high school musical " Mean Girls"

Clynn, love your morning pics, especially the Peanut family. LOL!
Kb, sorry the page wasn't available.
Lisa, I was hostess, I provided brunch type items, coffee, tea, Pineapple punch, etc... before the meeting. Long day. I fell asleep at my desk after dinner, and now I'm in the Beak to finish the day.
Tig, Enjoy your day and TLC time with Rosie ;D
Baz, I hope you had a good walk and day.
Oldguy, Thanks for always providing great information.
Eagles, glad you were able to get your internet to work.... we have a password for our router. It should be on the bottom of the router.
Good night!

Lani, Pineapple Punch sounds good, I love pineapple! You fell asleep at your desk, you had a busy day. Was the meeting in Payson?
Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog! I wonder if the Trempealeau nest is a new one for RRP, I had to look it up. It's in Wisconsin. Love the Vogue cat!
BL, thanks for Harvest Moon... Wonder where you encountered a lion...
E3E, glad you got your computer going! Always good to reboot or unplug and plug back in, it works most of the time.
tsk, there was a smorgasbord Grandpa liked to go to in Carmi, IL called Two Tonys. It was always crowded and they had tables for big groups! It's long gone, just a memory now. I don't remember if the food was good but us kids had fun!

It's amazing to think how far high school musicals have come with all the new technology. Kids are so talented. Special abled kids also included in cast. Great niece danced with her usual energy in this fast paced production.

HAPPY CATURDAY BEAKERS! :D
I hope Karen and Piper are safe and dry. Very dicey severe weather thereabouts today!!
Lani and Mike's KU Jayhawks play at 4 pm (Eastern time) today, on ESPN.
TSK's Marquette plays at 5 pm (Eastern time), on the Fox Network.
My UNC Tarheels play at Duke at 6:30 pm (Eastern), on ESPN, after Lani's KU game is over.
Lani, I will be watching your Jayhawks play their last regular season game today, and then my Tarheels will play their last regular season game, after your Jayhawks' game is over. I hope we all still have fingernails when the games are over!!
TSK, I hope you and Tim are feeling good this weekend. That's exciting for your great niece's performance in her school's play - I bet it was fun!
Clynn, I love your morning Caturday-themed pictures! :D
Phyl, your Caturday Vogue Kitty picture reminds me of this special woman of style, Iris Apfel, whose story I have followed for decades. She died last week (Fri., March 1) at the spry age of 102. She lived quite a life! I would've loved to have seen the special Met Exhibition of her clothes and accessories in 2005, about which she was quoted as saying, “This is no collection. It’s a raid on my closet. I always thought to show at the Met you had to be dead.” ;D ;D :-* Her apartment was just as exciting to see! Many people may not recognize her name, but many of them would surely recognize her in pictures. She made quite a mark!
Both news stories below can be viewed once without a subscription, and by just closing out the pop-ups. You may not be able to return a 2nd time to either story linked below after clicking on the link though, so read them whenever you first click on them. Both stories linked below are very good. The 1st story has great pictures with captions and tells much of her story, and the 2nd one is especially notable considering this is Women's History Month. :)
Iris Apfel, dead at 102:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/fashion/iris-apfel-dead.html - The lead photo of her at this story, was taken of her for her 100th birthday in 2022! Still rocking it!!

BL, thanks for Harvest Moon... Wonder where you encountered a lion...
Clynn I was having a flashback to Africa when I saw the pic of the dachshund and bull dog that Lani posted.
They reminded me of a pair of characters a friend and I encountered in Zimbabwe on our way to Victoria Falls.
They escorted us down a dirt track for away on a beautiful sunny day when we saw a lion in the distance in the tall grass noshing on something .. moving on, what a good idea. ;D ;)

OLDGUY Huge cat community. Sure hope no one left hungry :o Cat Cardio ::) ::) ;D ;D Those 3 cats in front of the fireplace ;D
PHYL Good cat stuff today. Mama stroking baby.
EAGLES Camping kitties ;D ;D
LISA Love the kitty on the quilt. :D I ddin't know anything about Mean Girls but was easy to follow.
BAZI Appreciate the BB schedule. Just got home from a movie. Turned on KU Almost end of first half. :( Maybe Iris Apfel would be a good topic for a motion picture. Reading on I see they made a documentary about her in 2014. Somehow I think PBS may be doing something on her - just checked - they did something in 2016.- the documentary.
BL Thanks for the lion explanation. WHEW
T40 Enjoyed the piece on the 7 body parts of cats. Pupils esp. Cats talking LOL Wow the elk that wanted human help.
Always a good bald eagle release.
Saw the movie Cabrini today Gave it a 10! Theater clapped!
-
Tsk - You are the 2nd person today, that I know who went to see Cabrini.
T40 - Many thanks for the videos.
Baz - Hope you are staying safe and dry, too.
Have a good night, everyone!

I went to lunch with friends for a few hours today. Rosie would not leave the door while I was gone, so Camper took her outside... where she kept watch and jumped at every sound and car. She was so exhausted when I got home that after she greeted me she jumped onto the couch and promptly fell asleep! She couldn't even make it over to my lap. Poor baby. Lol.
E4E... we have her at least until Tuesday night.

LANI KU had a rough day! :'( MU pulled it out! ;D Heels leading by 9 at halftime!
TIG How sweet that Rosie bonds with you and actually misses you :-* :-* Nice to get out with friends.
Speaking of friends: Maureen 70 yrs and the youngest in my girl group of 7, took a 93 yr old cousin to visit his 97 yr old aunt yesterday, Dropped him back home and promptly turned and missed a small step - fell and heard a crack! Bottom line: surgery this Monday for a bone graft to the top of her tibia ( tibial plateau where it forms the joint with her femur - leg bone) She said " Got the 90's all back home safe and I go and plant my face" She will be no weight-bearing for 4 weeks at least. She is integral in childcare for her grandchildren as they live a few blocks apart. Now grandpa will need to help out more ;) ;)

CLynn DST--great minds think alike; Peace Kitty ;) ; Utah highway-steep ::)
Tsk big note---you both won't be late for Mass ;) I've seen 'Cabrini ' advertised and know a neighbor who's seen this biographical of St. Frances Cabrini 'Well worth the time and spiritually altering.' She told me. This one's on my list.
Lori many tks for the Jackie/Shadow BBcam update. Eagle prayers for these egglets. You won't be familiar with FNC. But, Bill Hemmer in the 9am hour of AM news often
does an update , after each egg's laid on this nest. Hemmer oftrn refers to " FOBBV aa their source'
Oldguy Simaon's Cat had a good 'cardio workout'. Q-kids, always
Lani sweet Calico this am; Good wishes for KU today
Eagles glad your PC issues are resolved; cute Caturday
{{{Karen}}} sorry about your PC issues---CLynn has been keeping us up to date---hope you/Piper are well
Lisa last night we went grocer's and got a few bags of Starbuck's Half-Caf ( as full strength is too much Caff pour moi) I got up early made a carafe and had
a hot mug with Maggie in my lap purring . Jimmy was still asleep ;D
Bazi I've heard of fashion influencer Iris Apfel, RIP. My fave fashion designer is the great Coco Channel . In the '80s ---there's a ( not sure now if it's still such) wealthy neighborhood in Joplin called 'Snob Hill"went to a garage sale there and bought a Channel suite in size 4 for a song! I wore it for years generally for Sunday service. I just couldn't' t starve myself any longer and donated the still slightly worn item to a charity sale for disabled children's wing of St Thomas Hospt
T40 kitty body parts explained - in 40yrs I've parented cats, the eyes never cease to amaze me ; 'Are you filming me" ;) ---touching elk story/rescue,; wonderful bald eagle rescue and rehab/release story
Tig little Rosie missed you, lots!
Tsk prayers for Maureen , her hubby and their family.

Tig - Glad you had a nice lunch time with friends! Wow, Rosie sure couldn't wait for you to return home!! What a sweetie she is!!
Phyl - How nice to get up early (as you usually do) and have a nice cup of coffee and to have Maggie on your lap. It almost doesn't get better than that! ;) ;D
Beakers have a good evening :)

Oldguy, Congrats IOWA!
T40, Love RxckStxr voice overs! I've often worried about a cat being tempted to jump on a ceiling fan! :o... The rescued eagle story, as well as heartbreaking elk story were amazing rescues....

Tig, awww sweet {{{Rosie }}} she'll sleep good tonight.

Phyl, lots of news this morning! I never knew there were helium mines or that it was used for anything but balloons! Good news on the flu strain. Not sure how I feel on trying to create a wooly mammoth...will they eventually try to de-extinct a T-Rex or a cro-magnon or a neanderthal? Love your morning coffee cups, and the peaceful 365! 23 here now, high 59 and sunny today.
Lani, thanks for the Royal Albatross update, the chicks are growing up! Glad they keep each other company!

PHYL Quite a steal on the Channel suit :o One less flu to be concerned about ::)which is good as the strains just keep morphing. ::) Why would we want to bring back the woolly mammoth?
LANI Jayhawks are just saving themselves for Tues ;) ;) ;) I'm glad those two chicks are close together for company :)
CLYNN Sam and Sophie LOLOL so cute. Utah has some beautiful territory.
Think I will haul out Easter and spring decorations today. I'm resigning myself now to no winter this year...
-
clynn - Love the pic of Sam & Sophie, so cute! The winds are happening today and tomorrow. The winds are supposed to be 25 to 35 mph with gusts occasionally over 40mph.
tsk - I am loving this mild winter.
-
Well, I'm back outside today to feed my feathered friends. But I hope the sun will give me some of its warmth. Bought seed for them yesterday. Especially, I have to bribe the male cardinal who has been singing to me each morning when I go out to get the paper. He sits high up in the locust by the back patio. Don't want to lose him. I don't know if he is saying hello or telling me "food - I want food". I also don't know if he's greeting me or putting out the call for a nearby mate.
BTW - Heads up message! My tech has ordered a new puter which should deliver Monday. Then he's going to have my machine to transfer all the "stuff". I hopefully anticipate 2 days. So please don't worry if I go silent again.

Hi Lisa ;D
Tsk, Mike told me the same thing about the Jayhawks this morning. LOL! Keeping hope alive!!! ;D ... I'm bringing out Easter decor this week too. Yep, looks like winter has come and gone. :( ... I'm going to turn on the landscaping lines to the trees/bushes today. The potted roses leaves are sprouting, perennials are popping up, and covered strawberries are turning green too. ugh! Too soon to start a watering schedule. There are people in the valley that have already turned on their AC. :-\ .. closed windows because of allergies. Mike's eyes have started watering again.. way to soon for all of this. :(
{{{Karen}}} oh no, that's too bad about the internet.

Royal Albatross ~ TFT is In Post Guard Stage 💕 BOK Leaves Alone Overnight & Returns Next Day! 3.9.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XG0wceQ81A
Mar 9, 2024
It is now time for TFT chick to begin post guard stage - where both parents will be leaving their chick alone for short amounts of time and gradually lengthening the time away as they forage for food at sea. Mom BOK left her chick for a short time on March 8th and returned back. After she left, both chicks were tracking an incoming adult and it turns out to be our dear bereaved Dad LWK. He walks over to TF and says hello and touches his fluff. LWK is always the perfect gentleman albie....♥
BOK fed TFT and then she left again and did not return until the following day (March 9th) TFT spent its first night alone on the nest at 37 days old ♥ TFT and TF are able to see one another and I am sure that gave them both a little comfort, but especially to TFT who was missing having a parent brooding him. TFT had a peaceful night and did great!
Mom BOK returns & walks over to TF chick first to say hello. It looks like she wanted to preen his fluff ♥ Then she went to her nest and she spend a lot of time preening and giving affection to TFT. No doubt BOK missed her chick and TFT missed Mom too. The wind was blowing BOK's feathers as she was trying to brood TFT. She is such a beauty! She was able to manage getting part of TFT underneath her - his little head is sticking out. BOK spent the night with her chick and she took off the nest day. WYL is currently on the nest coming in (March 10th). Thank you for watching!

Just trying to get a bit of shade in Howick, South Africa...
Morning!...after a morning of 23, now 44 and heading to 51....already took that walk with Ollie man among other things!
Got up at my normal time...although the computer clock said differently. Am guessing around 50/50 of who wants to stay with Standard Time vs. Daylight Savings time.
I'm an early bird so prefer Standard....now I have to wait an hour longer for the sun to rise..at least for a month or so....Knock it off and choose one please!....LOL

Boy am I glad the Iowa game is over . I'm a basket case. Heartbreaker for Nebraska!
PUFF You are lucky to have such good technical help. ;) I love that the bird songs are now a part of my AM hours ;D
LANI A member of the Dalmatian order ::) ::) ;D ;D Couldn't agree more that all of "springness" is too soon. This little albie "neighborhood" is so good to see.

Hello Beakers
The game is over - Iowa Won in OT !!!!!!!!!!!! ;D Now it is the wait for the brackets to be announced....
The men's game starts at 6pm - last game of regular season...

Tsk - Enjoy setting out your decorations for Easter! I have my stuff set out already. :)
Puff- Congrats on getting a new 'puter tomorrow!! Hope all goes smoothly with the transfer of data. Glad you gave us all a 'heads up' in case you are not on here for a little while! I bet the Cardinal is happy when you step out there and maybe he is calling out to his friends 'here comes the feeding lady'! ;D
Kb- Zebras getting shade. :) I hear ya on the changing of the time! Wish they would leave it one way or the other! :)

I walked 39 minutes today. Gorgeous sunny day after all of yesterday's rain and cloudy skies.
Oh my... March Madness - joy for some, and heartbreak for others. (((Lani and Mike))) Please pardon my joy. 8)

Congrats Iowa!
Aw... Butterfly 🦋

Puff - Hope the computer guy gets you back up and running quickly.
Lani - Aww, Sister Dalmation! Love the pic of TFT watching parents.
kb - Glad you and Ollie got you walk in today. I would wish they would leave the time change one way or the other.
tsk - A real nail biting game?
E4E - Lots of small sticks/twigs to pick up when the wind stops.
baz - Are you having this crazy wind today?
-
OLDGUY Cat shooting rubber bands - quite by accident I think LOL
BAZI Want to be my mohawk? LOL
LISA I decided to make chocolate chip cookies during the game. Had to be distracted as it was way too exciting. And then to go to overtime Yikes. I even had to turn the sound off. LOL I'm terrible watching exciting games. Hope no major damage with those wind gusts.

Wow,
If you remember actor Michael Winslow from Police Academy and his sound effects.
Here he does Led Zeppelin's A Whole Lotta Love on Norwegian TV with a guitar player:

Hi Lisa latte looks delish
CLynn from what I've read the 'woolys' and early humans coexisted -I'm not too bothered by them. But...full agreement on your concerns regarding
the other Pre-historic beasts and early humans. ;) Like what 'you' did with the lodge pole trunk. Sam and Sophie awwwww. Have they met Harley?
Walter's Wiggles, Hurricane, Utah is awesome. The USS Wisconsin museum ship in the eternal parking lot in Norfolk. :o
Tsk I put out Spring/Easter décor yesterday...finished this AM...change the floral arrangements; furniture placement and accents; set out mini Stations
of the Cross, etc. Easter treats in apothecary jars...set and ready for the Spring Equinox... Eh? ;) Can smell hose CC cookies in The South.
Puff good news on the PC/data transfer. Hope all goes well. You're fortunate to have such tech help
Lani hopefully Jayhawks are just 'saving it all up' for big game; tks for Royal
Albie update---'fellowship' of the Albies ;) Nice video by Lady Hawk too
Feel for Mike this time of year. :(
KB zebras---alot of folks would prefer the time one or the other and stop this back and forth ----.
Eagles one time---all the time ;)
Bazi lizard mohawk---too cute

Kb, cute zebras, I hope the Fall rains comes soon for them.
Eagles, Mike has allergies to the Junipers in the spring.
Baz, Be Joyous!!! I'm with you, this is the best time for college basketball. Whatever happens to the Jayhawks, we're watching all the games, not just ours. ;D "Wanna be my mohawk" LOL!!
Tsk, I react the same way when I watch close games too. LOL!
SED Phyl
Good night!

Lani, do you and Mike have all your snacks ready for the games? As always, love the Alby update! Such sweet birds!
Phyl, pretty goodnight pic! I just sometimes wonder about all the money spent on things that just don't make so much sense, especially when there are so many all over the world that need help. The money spent on political campaigns is obscene (both parties), and the money spent on prescription drug commercials that we have to endure over and over. Sorry, I am edging towards my soap box, time to stop! Nice pic of Mom North! Oh, those felted pooches are so cute! The Dunnock has a beautiful song in the 365, the sun rising looked like a fire at the beginning!
tsk, making cookies to distract yourself from an exciting game, that's a new one! You even had to turn the sound off! I am trying to imagine you actually at the game!
baz, love the frog and the mohawk! You had a good walk!
E4E, I am the same as most of us here, don't care which time they use, I wish they would pick one and be done with it! They could put it on the ballot in November and let everyone vote on it!
Puff, new computer today! And hopefully karen gets her problem resolved!
tsk, Lisa, good morning!
Erin and family are at my Mom's, they will head home today. Yesterday after a trip to Cave-In-Rock and dinner at LaFuente Mexican restaurant in Fairfield they came home and the tv had sound but no picture. Erin determined that it was the same thing that happened to my tv a couple of weeks ago! We got that tv for Mom about the same time I got mine, Toshiba from Best Buy! Must have been a bad batch! Any way, he went and got her a Samsung and got it all hooked up. Thank goodness it happened when he was there!

Lisa, Beauty time at the salon, what a perfect start to the week. 8)
Clynn, Snack is popcorn during half-time. It's been Mike's ritual for 50+ years.... {{{Erin, Sydney, Talon and Bella}}} It was wonderful of Erin to get your mom set up with a new tv. Most especially, it must have been a special treat for your mom to see the munchkins. And Erin being able to help his grandmother. Safe travels home :-* ... neat pics of Mushroom rock, Ala.
Phyl, peaceful nature vid.... thanks for pics of elephants in Africa, to eagles in Iowa and CA.! ;D .. prayers for Sauces family.

Good Afternoon Beakers
Lani - Aww, look at your lil Irish pup, so cute. A much needed Monday at the salon. :D
clynn - Love the bicycle yard art. How sweet of Erin to go get your mom a new TV!
tsk - Thanks, I did enjoy my "me" time. :D
-
CLYNN When at Marquette - I was a commuter - I would stay down at school and eat at my friends dorm and go to the game - my books underneath my seat. Took the bus home at 10 PM with one transfer - no worries. Not now for sure. What timing - Erin was the angel of the day ;D
LANI That dog is way to funny - " Really, they dress me like this and expect me to like it" LOL
Gorgeous day in the mid 50's and my first 30 min walk since my cold. Now off to Goodwill with a trunkful!
-
some bounce
Oh, oh! Our tulips are coming up! Time to put my anti-deer/rabbit fence up...
... right after I watch Coco's tennis match. LOL
-
tsk - It is a beautiful day here too, and the wind has finally calmed down a tad.
tig - Enjoy watching Coco.
I have been looking everywhere for Irish Soda bread, and you would think this close to St. Paddy's day that some grocery store bakery would have it. Safeway, Acme, Food Lion, Whole Foods...not one had it!
-
tsk, a beautiful day here as well! 75 so far!
Lani, cute Saint Patty dog! Popcorn! Well, I am sure Mike won't change his March Madness snack, might jinx the game!
Lisa, this recipe has 5 stars! And your hair looks beautiful! ;D

Wild Heart Ranch :'( :'( :'(
I have been dreading this day for years;
We are spending our last day with our precious guy. His kidneys are done, his pain meds are no longer helping him and Dr Lilla told me what I already knew.
Our old man is suffering. It’s time.
I know so many of you love him. I wanted to let you know.
We have invited our crew to visit him today, so long as they hide their pain from him so he doesn’t stress, and he can have his grapes, marshmallows and a sucker. 💚😔

Happy Day, Beakers! :D
I reported this morning for my jury summons. They were seating a jury of 12 jurors and 1 alternate from my juror pool for a criminal trial. They never called my name! Woot! Sent me, and the others in my same situation, away... and I don't have to return. Done! They don't ask you to serve on a jury if you've served in the last 2 years. They consider my being there today as meeting that 2-year jury duty timeframe, so I am done, and done, because I will age out before 2 years pass. Woot!
Lani, I watch loads of the March Madness basketball games, too... not just my team. Oh, and in case anyone misinterpreted my "joy" post - I was not joyful that your KU Jayhawks lost their game, I was joyful that my UNC Tarheels won theirs. My team plays again Thursday, noon, Eastern. I'm hoping for more joy then, LOL, but as we know, there are no assurances, no matter who the opponent is. I hope you and Mike get to enjoy KU's next game waaaay more than their last! :)
I'll catch back up with everyone again later. I only had coffee and a pack of peanut butter crackers from the vending machine in the courthouse today, so I am hungry!
Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All. :)

Clynn, oh no! Is that Keebler? Oh... tears... I'm so sorry for Keebler, and for all who knew and loved him - especially at Wild Heart Ranch, and all their caregivers, and supporters, near and far, and out here in the internet, like our Beakers. :'( May he rest in peace. :-* :-* :-*

Computer and digital house phone back up. At about 9:30 am! As I suspected, one of the lawn crew cut the line with an edger. Line had been pushed up too high by the root of a pine! Had a lot to read today, business to do and since I got upat 5:30 I am tired! The cell phone is not working correctly and I cannot see anything on it so will be out looking for another one!
Yesterday was one of 14 days of my new exercise for vertigo! Oh my! 3 sets of 5 movements! Laying down on my left side with my head down and positioned like I am looking at someones face is really an intense experience!
A free ride at Disney! I am hating this but will persevere . Really has some epley movements to it, which is what the doctor was doing! Not as serious as Margaret or the lady with the broken bone and I will be fine unless I take a bad fall. I am careful!
Good pictures and posts all! Good basketball!
Tig, you need a dog! It would cut into your many trips however.
Tsk, was Cabrini Green in Chicago ever mentioned? Most of it is gone now. A great idea, gone bad! I lived a few blocks from it for a few years, a true bed of crime. Sr Cabrini was a wonderful person.
So very sorry about the deer!
Having a few wonderfulish days and then up to the 80s for 4 days!
Off to do a few chores! Oh and thanks for reporting on my issue, Clynn! Not only cranky, angry, frustrated at 2 hours plus on the cell with att playing pass the buck. And very crabby! I will own all of it!
(((Keebler)))
Baz! Good deal
-
clynn - Thanks for the compliment on my hair! :) Oh no, not ((Keebler)) :(
Can you make that Soda Bread for me? I am going to admit...I am not great with dough. I can bake anything, as long as it does not involve starting with dough! ;D
baz - Glad to hear you are done and done. :D
karen - Good to see you back. :)
-
Lisa - try Aldi - but they call it Scottish instead of Irish - but it is a soda bread. Aldi lists in on their website.
-
Karen, yay, you're back in internet land! Glad your line is fixed. I hope the new exercises help with the vertigo!
-
Eburg - You'll be the first to know? There's an egg in N1. :o
P
-
Lisa, Publix has yout read! Get a bread machine. Lol!
Right before my omputer went off, Friday abouy 12:30, I was watching e23 wingersizing on the spike and I was agraid he would be gone when I got back on line! Today he was doing a great hover above the nest! soon he will be off exploring! Most of Ms kiddies stay close to home for awhile after a fledge. We will see!
-
LISA Good point about the soda bread. I did get my brisket today but usually as you walk in the grocery there is fresh bakery soda bread and sometimes with samples with butter! Hmmm I wonder! I'll go back tomorrow. Tim just told me the Irish soda bread was in the bakery. He saw it there. Kind of unusual as it is usually advertised in the front of the store. He'll pick some up for me as I'm heading to Costco tomorrow. Our whole area where they sell the chickens is being remodeled so no chickens til April YIKES Soda bread is easy to make.
CLYNN We maxed out at 66 today. Maybe 70 tomorrow. Awww I presume a long time resident of Wild Heart Ranch has to be euthanized... :'( I see it is Keebler.
BAZI YAY No more jury duty calls. ;) ;) So funny, When Tim had his hand surgery last week I also got peanut butter crackers from the vending machine LOL
KAREN You are back ;D Dang - that lawn crew. So you had to have that line repaired first??
Cabrini Green housing development in Chicago was not mentioned and it was only named after her many years later. Yes it turned into a major slum. Do believe they have torn it down. The movie was about her first efforts in NYC Italian section.
PUFF A goose egg in N1???
-
Yes ma'am 1 big white egg. . . .
About 5:40 our time.
P
-
I just read Amy's post on the forum. . .there's already two eggs in N1. One by two different moms? First one was on Sunday. If you go to check things out, there's nothing showing. She already did her camo/coverup routine.
P
-
Tsk, most of the early inhabitants of Cabrini were Italians in Chicago!
-
The inhabitants where .
-
Are these the same pups? Love the look of the one driving! How did the tree trunk get on the tops of those vehicles?
-
I'm always comforted by KG's observations.
Wind but yet drive away.

Lani - Oh no, those awful Junipers - poor Mike. How long do you think this will last for Mike - a month or so? ::)
LisaG - I too had a salon appt (with my hairdresser) @ 8 this morning!
Clynn - What you said to Baz; I hear ya on all the spending! ??? Thank goodness your Mom's tv went haywire while Erin was still there and could take care of the situation for her! Love the pictures!!! Oh no, so sorry about Wild Heart Ranch sadness. :'(
Tig - Your beautful Tulips!! Get that protective fencing up!
Baz - Good for you in being done with jury duty for the next two years! You fulfilled your summons! ;D
Karen - Glad you are back up in the Beak!! Highly frustrating when you can't do what you want with your phone and computer - especially when you pay your subscription to have it!! Hope you & Piper have a nice peaceful night.
Hi Puff!
Tsk - Vending machines come in handy sometimes!
BL - Karen is observant! ;D

Goose eggs at the hatchery. Sad day for me. Unfortunate for RRP too. :-\
-
clynn, I'm very sorry to hear Keebler is not doing well. How sad for the Wild Heart Ranch crew, and all who love him... and sweet Keebler. :-*
Baz, YAY you're done with jury duty! I received an email letting me know the trial starting this Wednesday has been vacated/canceled and not to check in. I'm waiting to find out if that is it for the next two years.
Karen great to see your post, welcome back! ;D
Puff, Tsk, two goose eggs in N1! I didn't know it was time. :o
Eagles, Mike will suffer with allergies until June or so. He got a shot late last May and it helped. He'll get one again, but not wait so long... sweet koala bear.
Tig, tulips already blooming. sending gentle hug for Rosie.
BL, great pics! cute pup.. oh my gosh, that tree is huge, lucky middle car!

Phyl, Mother Goose at N1! Love the Whooper swans in the 365, looks like some courtship going on! Cute Saint Patty kids! The Flyway looks beautiful!
Lani, yes, I am sad about Keebler...but Annette gave him the best life and he was so loved... I am happy for that...

oldguy - I wonder if Lidl's has the Irish soda bread, they are sort of like Aldi's.
karen - Wish we had a Publix. I never thought about getting a bread machine. Does that make the dough for you?
tsk - Acme has re-done where the rotisserie chicken go too. At the moment they are behind the deli counter with the fried chicken, but they are getting a new heated area out in the open.
E4E - My appointment is always at 10am. My girl does not come in any earlier than that. I would love an 8am appt!
Lani - What an adorable good night pic.
Phyl - I am, too! Thanks for the RRP blog post and all the cam pics.
clynn - I am saving all the pics you post of different places. Maybe one day, I will get to see all of these beautiful places you post!
kb - Great morning pics.
I know many don't love the geese in the eagle nests in Decorah, but something is running the eagles away from the hatchery to make them not want to nest in the two eagle nests there. Is it too many people walking around - getting too close, noise around the hatchery? It sure is something, just from my observation. I think I would rather see something in the nest, then sit here all day and look at an empty nest.
-
Lisa, you put the ingredients in the top of the machine and close the top, push the buttons and some time later you take out a loaf of bread. I found that it did every thing well except for French bread. Sold mine at a charity garage sale and wish I still had it. Publix does have a great bakery however, for all but King Cakes. I do not think they compare to Nola. Bread machine is faster than a crock pot! Lol
Eagles, sorry you are not into March Madness! I love it and enjoy watching the kids more than the high paid pros! Lots of fun!
Clynn, nice warm send off for poor Keebler, Thanks for sharing this sad news.
E23 flapping like crazy this morning! Looking all over and waiting for breakfast! Really expected him to take off! As I was looking atthis nest this am, I observed a lot of traffic on the divided four lane high way and foot traffic on the side walk. The nest tree is open to the road and the side walk. There are folks busy in this area. There is a church adjacent to the property as well. I say this in comparison to Decorah and it does not seem that Decorah is busy enough to scare eagles. While the bluff is remote, the area around WalMart has to be pretty active. Ido agree Lisa, something has scared them off and who knows what! Could it be the activity of atf? Seems strange to leave a well stocked buffet!
Off to do session one of three sets of my exercises.
-
CLYNN Oh how sweet is Keebler's burial site. :'( I'd like to hike in Rattlesnack Canyon :o
KB Like the bath lesson to the Caracara kids ;D Thanks for posting that link. Great info below - potoo esp
LISA Like your AM pic. :) Costco had Irish soda bread as you came in the store this AM. Loaves were pretty big but did not have the crystalized sugar I like on the top ;) ;) Good point about the hatchery no longer appealing to the eagles - I do think the increased traffic of people and noise is a big contributing factor.
KAREN I always enjoy the kids vs pros as well. I won't see all the games but will catch as many as I can. The Decorah nests are much closer to the streets than in Ft Myers ( I've been there). People are also closer to the nests in Decorah. At "Walmart" the nest is no where near the parking lot - but off in the distance. RIGHT LISA? Good going with trying to continue the best you can with these exercises. A+ for effort. They are not easy or comfortable.

Royal Albatross ~ TF & TFT Chicks Graduate To Larger Green Baskets! 💪 Two Armfuls Of Fluff 😂 3.12.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz-ockxDNTQ&t=6s
Mar 11, 2024
Early in the morning both TFT and TF will do yawns within minutes of one another! They are getting ready for the day and it is Tuesday so that means it is weight day for the chicks at the colony.Today both chicks graduated to a larger green basket! It now will take two rangers to successfully take their weights! YAY!! 💚🎉
They weighed TFT first - and this is no little chick anymore! Definitely will need to arms for both TF and TFT. 😣💚🎉 TFT did great and was returned to its nest. Ranger Colin approached TF very carefully. The whistling is to calm and distract the chick while the ranger are working to take their weight. TF tries to bite ranger Colin;s sleeve lol 🥰 So it begins! It is beneficial for the rangers to have long sleeve jackets while working with the chicks.
Boy oh boy did TF looks big this week when Colin but him in the basket! They cover the chicks eyes to keep them calm. The motion of going up in the air coupled with being in a basket could cause a chick to spill its stomach oil if unduly stressed so they go very slowly. 😣💚🎉
TF is then returned to his nest! Colin watches him to make sure he is okay and then they leave. TF then does a wing and body shake!! I can't wait to see how much these chicks weigh this week and will pin the totals to the top of the video! Thank you for watching! Lady Hawk
TF is 5.kg and TFT is 3.2kg! . TF is a big boy!!!! ♥♥ Heaviest chick in the colony this week!! Great job LGL and LGK!! And TFT is almost the same weight that TF was last week and doing well too!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
{{{Karen}}} Thanks for E23 update.... good luck with your exercise sessions. :)
Lisa, it is much more useful and interesting for Decorah cam watchers to be able to see an occupied nest. I just wish we could watch the little green capped headed goslings a little longer in the nests. LOL! And yet, it is sad to know that maybe the hatchery area has become too busy with human activity or something else of concern for the eagles.
Kb, beautiful and fascinating photos.
Clynn, awww RIP Keebler :'( .... Rattlesnake Canyon one of the prettiest place to hike.
Phyl, thanks for RRP blog.... pretty sunrise.... early spring season for the swans.

Toroa/albatross chick dies from swallowing plastic

The problem with plastics is huge and individual contributions may seem small, but they are meaningful. Also meaningful is when groups, such as families, schools, community groups, businesses etc work on plastic reduction.
If you want to take your plastic free action further, I recommend the Cornell University Civic Ecology Lab Plastics Impact and Action global online course.

I found the Irish soda bread, woot woot!!!! Safeway had just put it out, and it was 2 for $5. I got me two!
Lani - So sad about the Toroa chick :'( Thanks for the info on TF & TFT. I agree with you, I wish we could watch the goslings for a bit longer after they jump, but I remember last season there was some with the parents around the pond.
tsk - You are correct on the Walmart nest. You have to stand on the walking trail, and use your binoculars to see it, or a really good camera lens.
karen - Bread machine faster than a crockpot. Jeff would kill me If I bought a bread machine. Bread is his weakness, and it is especially not good for our blood sugar. We will have to eat this soda bread in moderation. :D
-
Lani, wonderful update on the Royal chicks! So sad to hear about yet another of God's creatures killed by human laziness. Such a cute little guy... I love how the Mom's watch over other chicks when they are alone. That's 11 lbs for TF! Wow!
Lisa, glad to hear you found the bread! I am like Jeff, love my carbs! When I go to Mom's I always get fresh baked sourdough bread from our grocery store bakery for her and my Aunts. It is freshly baked in a brick oven every day, we love to toast it and spread a little homemade strawberry jam on it, along with a cup of tea!
karen, I have wondered too why N1 is not a nest of choice anymore, or N2B for that matter. It must be the increase in traffic in the area, what else could it be? They are both closer to the fish than any other nest!
Janet from England sent me pictures of something they got in the mail yesterday, the wedding pics are 'pics of pictures' Mom had of Janet and George, our friends in England on their wedding day 3/14/64:

Well, a lovely walk with Ollie man!...esp cause it's now 60 degrees and I saw Mr. Tower on the water tower. I don't see him/her anymore as I moved the couch away from the bay window.
Makes me sad about the Decorah situation, esp. if it's determined to be because of people. A good thing gone wrong?
Eagles4 - you are not alone here. I'm not a Basketball March Madness, or anytime gal either....even though I cheerleaded our basketball team in highschool for 3 years I just never followed the sport. Although I approve of Mike's choice of popcorn at half time, esp. if liberally buttered!
Heading out back now with shorts on to sit in the sun after following up with Dennis and Vi. Both 87. Dennis was in the hospital over the weekend with a UTI...now home but cathed. ..I sure do hope I can maintain their attitudes in later life!..
Lawn mower repair man is also supposedly heading over some time today to pick up my broken lawn mower down the hill. And repair!....People are raking and with the dry grass it seems to me a perfect time to do it. Dennis is mad as heck he can't. I don't rake anymore much, but do bag and air out the dry grass with the mower to help the new grass growth.
Course the over eager environmental city folks would wag their finger if they saw anyone raking yet....they have already let it be known!...bugs ya know, LOL.....I have plenty of bugs in my mostly perennial gardened yard but like to have a nice grassy part.
So, when my lawn mower is returned you can guarantee I'll be out there mowing!
Later.
-
Tsk, I know there is a road next to the nest in Decorah , have seen it on the cam but it is not any where toe size of the 4 lane in Ft. Myers. There has to be another issue. The Are the black flies still there?
Interesting report on the sweet albies! Sorry About the plastics. Have stopped buying plastic drinking water and now filter mine in a pitcher. Dont know what. To do about the frozen dinner containers. Some companies are now using a paper kind of dish!
I am also a carb lover! Bread and Butter is Great! Lol.
Clynn,, nice royal greeting to your friend. Nit clear who the couples are in the pictures other than Charles and Camilla. Are they your friend? Your parents? One of eVh?
-
Some bounce
Our fence is up. The tulips are only peeking about 2 inches so far. Tomorrow, we may clear some day lilies that are intrusive and transplant a couple fern that are too close to our chimney.
Last few hours with Rosie... Maybe.
BBL
-
Whew, mower picked up for repair...
It's so dry out there I wish many would mow and/or rake their dead grass....we are in such a high fire danger at the moment.
My weather app removed the anticipated rain for tomorrow....
-
LANI Which one of the rangers was doing the whistling? What bundles of fluff ;D I now know why they move so slow other than the obvious of not scaring the chicks. Can't even read that about the Toroa chick. :( Such an unnecessary death - Like lead for eagles!
LISA I'm grateful that we got to see them for as long as we did. You never know about the future. Tim got me soda bread today as well and I immediately toasted a piece for lunch LOL
CLYNN Very cool for Janet and George to get congrats from the King himself ;D
KB Glad to that little update on Dennis and Vi. You hadn't mentioned them in a while. 71 here and Tim fertilized and Grub-exd this AM We are supposed to get rain Thurs. Think tomorrow I will have time in the afternoon to cut down the roses.
-
Goose eggs at the hatchery. Sad day for me. Unfortunate for RRP too. :-\
Eburg, what does this mean? "At the hatchery" ?? Sorry you're sad. Are you talking about the goose eggs in N1, or something else? I wish I could read peoples' minds. ;)
-
...
Baz - Good for you in being done with jury duty for the next two years! You fulfilled your summons! ;D
...
E4E, yes, I was happy I didn't get called to sit on a jury, but I am not just done for the next 2 years... I am done for the rest of my life! ;D I will age out of required jury duty here before they can summons me again. Yay! :D
-
TSK, which store was Tim in when he told you he saw the soda bread in the bakery?

Amy's blog says HM is likely incubating her own egg(s) - does that mean RRP, or someone, knows where that is? But just can't see into that nest? Or is HM's possible current nest location an unknown, and just assumed?
-
Lani, yes, I am sad about Keebler...but Annette gave him the best life and he was so loved... I am happy for that...
Wild Heart Ranch - He’s buried with one Teddy and another watching over him. One of the hardest days of my life. We will all miss our little Monkey Man.💚

Clynn, thanks for sharing this. I am so sad about Keebler, and for Annette and all who loved and cared for him. Such a touching burial for him. :'( I agree with you, though, about being happy he got the best care and so much love while he was at Wild Heart Ranch. :-*
-
Lani, I'm glad you didn't have to report for jury duty, and I hope that makes you in the clear for at least 2 more years! Good news on the Royal Albatross chicks, TF and TFT. :-* :-* I'm so sorry the Toroa/albatross chick died from swallowing plastic. :'( So sad. RIP little one. :-*
-
Baz, you did not ask me, but…the goose at the hatchery has claimed N1 and has at least 2 eggs covered up there! At least we have something to watch! Hm and hd have a nest in a tree on the bluff where there is no camera. People who have been on the ground there think they have eggs! MomD and dM 2, in n4 behind Walmart have , according to robin, at least one egg that is not visible. Nest rails are so high she could not see the parent who was in ubating until it stood to roll eggs! Big question remains, why did they abandon the nests with cameras? Seems they also monitor the area to keep other potential eagle house hunters away! Want all the hatchery goodies for themselves! Sent Robins post to Clynn so oerhaps she will post it later.
Lovely dinner of salmon and fresh green beans . Cutie. For desert!
Last time I looked, e 23 was still at home. Had 2 ufo road kill today and one whole fish. He had trouble unzipping the fish so he better stay home or close to it for a few more days!
-
I don't think we will ever know why any of the eagles are not nesting now in N1 or N2B, ar any other previous nesting sites. I remember Bob Anderson saying Bald Eagles love to build nests, and that they are known to build new nests regularly, for no specifically known reason, and even when their previous nests seem to be just fine. He wrote about it in a blog, way back. I think Amy's blog has mentioned it again since Bob A. talked about it. Remember Dad's first known nest was at the cliffs, I believe, before he built N1 across from the Hatchery? Maybe it's the black flies, maybe it's the owls or geese, maybe it's all the other Eagles in that area, maybe it's the people and their activities, or maybe it's just the Eagles exercising their love of building a new nest! Maybe they just feel like it. Just because they like building new nests so much! :) I just hope they stay healthy, and I wish them all the best this nesting season! :-* :-* :-*

Today I finally gave myself my birthday treat... my birthday was in Feb., and all I wanted was a hamburger. I hadn't had one in over 6 months - maybe longer. I never got one for my birthday! So today I took myself out for a yummy burger - Carolina style - with cheese, chili, and slaw... and I had fries with it and a very good cold hoppy beer. It was so yummy! So!!! It was everything I dreamed of. ;D ;D I am so full!! LOL. I loved it! Finally got that burger, fries, and beer itch scratched - been jonesing for it for weeks upon weeks! ;) ;D
Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED :-*
-
clynn - How nice of Janet and hubby to get a card from the King and Queen .
Kb - Glad you had a nice walk with Ollie, and your mower picked up for repair.
Karen - French bread and butter…the best! ;D
Tig - Enjoy your last few hours with Rosie.
Tsk - Yay, you got your soda bread, too!
Baz - I have a Facebook friend that lives in WI, not the Bruhlings, and he frequently goes to Decorah to take pics of the eagles. He went two weeks ago, and took pictures of HM & HD. He said, they were swapping duties of sitting on eggs. Your Carolina burger sounds delicious. Glad you gave yourself a birthday treat!
Have a good night, everyone!
-
BAZI Soda bread :Mariano's - a Kroger own store. Maybe local to this area. Costco had loaves today when I was there as you walked in. HM and HD have a new nest on the other side of the bluff as reported by the Bruhlings and RRP and others who happen to know where it is. Certainly not far down the road as I picture it. Maybe LISA knows more. Well said - good summation on why eagles move!!!
What a wonderful decadent b-day treat - I would have brought home an ice cream sundae and put in the freezer for later to top it off LOLOL

Folks are beginning to mow and trim lawns here---
Jim puts it off as long as possible as he has our two and Sadia's two to mow and tend.
CLynn sad news about Keebler :-*/ :'( Annette was a wonderful caregiver---sweet grave site; luv the finch in the hollow tree trunk;
Rattlesnake Canyon would be a fun walk thru.; fantastic wedding anniversary acknowledgment from The Palace( King Charles & Camilla)
for your friends Janet and George on wedding anniversary.
KB interesting Caracara -- cool photo of sub eagle and fox; tks for link to Audubon Photo Awards, all great. Prayers for Dennis and Vi.
Lisa Easy to agree w/ your statement/theory about eagle nests in Decorah hatchery. I too would rather see the geese there than empty nests.
Warm French bread and butter ;)
Lani I'm late ---congratulations no jury duty. Many tks for the Royal Albie update---nice the rangers enjoy their work to whistle; good weight for TF all the chicks are such cute fluffy-feathery youngsters; the Toroa chick is difficult to read :'( ; deliberate steps at nesting site ;)

Dear Beakers, thank you so much for all the Birthday Wishes at the end of February! They meant so much but i just looked today.
It's been a rough time for me - my partner of 24 years passed away in Jan 2023 after a short illness. I knew Tommy for 46 years though. I had to put my mom in a nursing home at the same time and had to clean out her apartment. My only brother Danny then suddenly died in early August and both my cats went to the Rainbow Bridge before Tommy passed. Needless to say, it's been a very sad, scary and lonely time. Thank you for listening to my tales of woe. I'm not doing well with the grieving thing. Hopefully I can deal better with it after a time. The grandkids sustain me (Granddaughter is almost 8 and the little guy turned 5 in December).
Please pray for me if that's your thing. Thank you! <3

Oh, Eagles Rock, Way too much sadness at once! I am happy that you have your grandchildren to keep you uplifted a little! They need you!
While you cannot replace what is gone, there are Many kitties who need you too! They are good company and fun. 🤩
Do remember to stop in the beak and visit. Prayers for you of course!

Thank you so much, Phyl and Karen. Your words meant so much to me. They say God doesn't give you more than you can handle. This experience makes me question that.
I have only shared this with a few people so far, but it was time.
As I looked back at my Forum signature below posts, it freaked me out - "When a storm is coming, all other birds seek shelter. The eagle alone avoids the storm by flying above it. So, in the storms of life may your heart be like an eagle's and soar above." - Anonymous
So the eagles keep educating us :-*

I will be picking up the Munchkins this morning and Erin will pick them up around 2:00 or so. It will be nice again today so a trip to the park will be in order, and of course, the kittens! They will be worn out when the kids leave!
Lani, love that the rangers whistle to keep the Alby chicks calm. I also looked up Carolina Burger! Hamburger patty, chili, cheese and slaw! Oh my!

Eaglesrock, so sorry that you had so much sorrow in such a short time... You are a strong person, because you are finally sharing with people that can be there for you. The Beak Room has a heart of gold so please visit often! The little ones will help you heal, that is a good thing. I am sure we will all be praying for you for as long as you need. Take care!
Phyl, cute kitten in the shamrock container! Prayers for the eggs at Sauces! Majestic Whooper Swans in the 365! Mr. North on guard duty... Now I see the penguins!
baz, I like your thoughts on why the eagles keep building new nests! I also think that they enjoy it, and it is true bonding for them... Like Lani, I looked up your Carolina Burger. Glad you enjoyed it! I am sure it was well worth the wait for you! You got that itch scratched!
Lisa, I agree, fresh, warm French Bread with butter is the best! I could sit down with Jeff and we could demolish the whole loaf!
tsk, glad you found your soda bread, I don't think I have ever had it. I have to go to the store this afternoon, maybe they will have it!

Beautiful snowy!
Happy Wednesday!
eaglesrock - nice to see you here in the Beak, even under such terrible circumstances. One foot in front of the other is all one can expect of oneself.
Lisa - I found some spring Gouda at Whole Foods a few days ago..finally. I think you said Jeff likes it?
Oof, a very large German Shepherd, You all know my favorite breed, was loose in front of my house, then backtracked to poop by my front door....poor thing is probably very stressed and an escapee as she had a metal collar on her. I posted about her in my local fb page but saw no one driving around looking for her. She left rapidly towards busy streets. Makes me nervous but I'll pray she finds herself home soon.
I picked it up and watered it in as otherwise Ollie might wonder....it was very loose and yellow. Safety.
Wow, my forsythia is opening it's yellow flowers!

Just back from the pool. When "Mom n Dad" came to pick up Rosie yesterday we were surprised to see their daughter! She and her Dad had conspired and surprised the Mom by her coming home for a couple of weeks after graduation and before she "ships" off to San Diego for her stint on the USS Abraham Lincoln. https://www.airpac.navy.mil/Organization/USS-Abraham-Lincoln-CVN-72/
She is now a Mass Communication Specialist Seaman. Rosie was very happy to see them all and didn't look back.
Camper put a replacement on my chair for me. We call him "Nosie". Aw... my lap is still warm. How nice of him to think ahead and bring him home for me/us.

How these parrots went from the tropical jungle to the concrete jungle
The colorful birds have become a common sight across Los Angeles county, and in addition to amusing locals, they may provide a lifeline for threatened populations in their native habitats.

Temple City, California, is an unassuming city east of Pasadena that’s home to the usual busy thoroughfares, shopping malls, and residential neighborhoods that one expects in densely developed Los Angeles County. And in addition to people and their pets, Temple City hosts a surprising avian population.
At dusk, hundreds of wild parrots, some in large flocks, some singly or in pairs, approach from all directions, squawking loudly and circling overhead before settling on a variety of roosts. The brightly colored birds create a spectacle as they land in trees, on power lines, and on cell towers, but what makes them so distinctive is the racket they make.
In the dying light of a recent November evening, I watched as a particularly large flock of green parrots settled into a nearby tree, and thus camouflaged disappeared among the branches. Out of sight, the overwhelming cacophony of the birds seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. The commotion made it easy to understand why a gathering of parrots is called a pandemonium. The squawking sounded chaotic and random, then suddenly the birds went silent, as if a switch had been flipped.
“Look,” said Luke Tiller, my parrot guide and the chapter president of the Pasadena Audubon Association as he pointed at a distinct speck in the sky. “A falcon.”
Tiller explained that flock behavior offers protection to the parrots. Individual parrots alert the flock to danger through vocalizations, and many birds means many watchful eyes. Additionally, the sheer size of the flock deters predators like falcons and hawks from targeting the parrots. As soon as the falcon flew off, the parrots resumed their raucous cries.
Witnessing the parrots returning to their evening roost was a startling and capitivating experience, seemingly at odds with the dense urban environment. It also begged the question: How did these parrots, and others like them across Los Angeles, come to live so far from their native habitats in an environment that is completely different?
Like most good Hollywood stories, the origin of Los Angeles’s thriving wild parrot population is debated and shrouded in myth. Some trace it back to the closure of Busch Gardens Van Nuys in the 1970s, which could have resulted in the release of captive birds into the city environment. There are also unconfirmed stories of mass parrot releases during the 1992 riots, as well as tales of parrots being freed during a fire at a pet store in Pasadena in the 1990s.
“My guess is there’s probably a kernel of truth in most of those stories,” says Jamie Gilardi, the executive director of World Parrot Trust. “I don’t think anyone ever did it intentionally. Parrots are valuable, so they’re probably accidental releases.”
The parrots certainly didn’t make it to Los Angeles on their own. No extant species of parrot has lived in the continental United States since the native Carolina Parakeet went extinct over 100 years ago. The pet trade in one form or another brought these birds to Los Angeles.
Parrots are popular household pets, and some can live to be 80 years old. With over 30 species of parrots currently living in the Los Angeles area, it’s likely that pet birds have escaped over the years and made their way to flocks where they found mates and reproduced.
Unlike many non-native species, L.A.’s parrots are relatively benign and haven’t displaced native birds, and therefore aren’t considered invasive by the state of California. The parrots’ main impact has been to amuse or annoy people during the raucous overflights of large flocks. However, due to the severe decline of one species in its native landscape, there may be an important second act for L.A.’s parrots.
The most commonly seen parrot in Los Angeles is the red-crowned parrot, which is native to a small region of northeastern Mexico. Native populations of these birds have been decimated by the illegal pet trade and habitat loss, declining by 95 percent. The birds have been red-listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as an endangered species.
Experts believe the Los Angeles red-crowned parrot population, estimated at over 3,000 birds, is now larger than the remnant population in Mexico. There also might be considerable genetic diversity in L.A.’s parrots, a feature that could prove to be a lifeline for Mexico’s endangered population.
Researchers at the Moore Laboratory of Zoology at Occidental College in L.A. are currently studying the DNA of Los Angeles’ red-crown parrot population and comparing it with DNA from preserved Mexican parrots collected from the 1930s to the 1950s to determine if the L.A. parrots really are direct descendants. If so, then the avian Angelenos could indeed be a valuable “rescue population” for their endangered relatives, says John McCormack, the director of the Moore Laboratory.
“We had these samples that were collected before the pet trade even existed,” says McCormack. “We have the original record of the DNA and genomes of the species, so now we can do a historical DNA comparison to the birds that are in L.A. today.” Some parrot species will interbreed, and McCormack says the DNA analysis will reveal whether the Los Angeles birds are pure genetic descendants of the Mexican parrots or whether they are hybrids.
“From a conservation perspective, and thinking about this as a rescue population for declines in the wild, you are more interested in the pure parrots and establishing that there are reservoirs of the pure native genomes here in Los Angeles,” says McCormack.
Concurrently through iNaturalist, and under the auspices of the Moore Laboratory, there is a citizen science project called the Free-Flying Los Angeles Parrot Project that documents sightings. The project has recorded over 7,000 parrot sightings made by nearly 2,000 members across Southern California.
Although the Los Angeles parrot population seems to be growing and thriving, it does face threats from humans. A recent video on TikTok shows a man in in Temple City taking parrots that had been captured in nets and putting them in his car. Red-crowned parrots are desirable pets and can sell for up to $2,200 each, which is presumably the motive for poaching them. Residents were outraged by the video, and animal control took down the nets that had been placed in the trees.
Since parrots are a non-native species, they don’t have the same legal protections that native birds do. A state law prohibits the capture of wild animals, which makes it illegal to harm or capture Los Angeles’s wild parrots. However, when L.A. County sheriff’s deputies went to the man in the video’s house, they didn’t find the parrots and determined that the man had not set the nets up. No charges were filed.
The illegal pet trade still poses a threat to the red-crowned parrots, perhaps even those in Los Angeles. However, the current threat seems minimal, and conservationists hope that Los Angeles parrots might someday return to their native habitat to help restore a species on the brink.
“There's an irony there that the pet trade which is endangering them in their native range has basically seeded this potential rescue population that appears to be thriving in Los Angeles,” says McCormack.

BL Eliza D's grandpa was the cause of it all Funny story. Monk parrots are pretty birds.
CLYNN What a fun day I bet you had with the kids it being so nice outside. Did S&S survive all the loves from Bella? LOL I'm wanting to know too, - have you let Harley meet S&S yet? Seven Teacups - Very unusual and pretty.
Cut the roses down today and then removed the remaining stalks of perennials I left for interest in the winter we did not have :P
-
Phyl - Interesting read about the parrots.
karen - Hope the exercises all went ok.
baz - Waving back to ya!
clynn - Fun day with the munchkins??
tsk - You are getting a head start with the gardening.
Have a good night, everyone :)
-
Lisa, the part of the set of 5 where I lay down and put my head down and turn it 45 degrees is not fun. At the end of day 4 it may be a tad better! 10 more days to go!
Bl, did you grow up in Bergen county? Lovely area! thought a drive I took along the Hudson, years ago was beautiful!
Seds Beakers! (baz, have a burger and fries once every month or two)

Tsk like your Shamrock this AM; Jim once said he has some Irish ancestry--wonder if he's like some soda bread; glad you enjoyed the parrots---I think there's on on monarchs?
CLynn some enterprising person did a cool job on that owl wind chime ;D ; that Carolina Burger :o yikes cole slaw :P SWFL -youngster testing
the wind and it's lift awwww. Utah Desert, Moab, Utah /Double Arch, Utah there's an piece in Jan/Feb Archaeology magazine about North America's 1000 year
drought in The Great Basin 'When the Water Dried Up". Half of the state of Utah is part of this basin ; Did you get your nap? 7 Teacups Mother Nature got creative.
Lisa how'd it go at ENT?
KB awesome Snowy Owl---Harry Potter's familiar was such an owl. Roses and Red bud all budding
Tig cute little Rosie
{{{Karen}}}
you and Piper take care; I'd like to know more about your 'exercises'.

Jumping from one marshmallow man to the other takes faith in ones abilities sans rope.
I stood on that crown of the stay puff in the winter. Roped in.

Hi Lani - Just want to say a big 'Thank you' as always for your Night post. It means a lot to me. :-*
Phyl - Nice temp today for you. We had sun with a high of about 64 - very nice! Like Stony Point Penguin Colony! ;D
Tsk - Sweet message for Eaglesrock.
Clynn - I bet you had a fun-filled day with your Munchkins!! I bet by now, Sophie & Sam are sound asleep! ;D You post such great pictures - thank you!
LisaG - Don't know what ENT is, but hope all went well! :)
Kb - Good for you in picking up after someone's pet, I do the same, but it's usually ferral cats that live next door. She leaves cat food & water on her front porch 24/7, so that attracts 0possums, skunks, raccoons and other animals. She doesn't spay or neuter her ferral cats. ::) You may laugh, but I sometimes will pour some 'Dawn' on the spot and then water the area down! ::)
Tig - Awe, Camper is so thoughtful!! So happy you had a beautiful few days with Rosie!! :-*
Karen - Sounds like you & Piper are having a nice 'alone' day! ;D
Baz - Love what you posted about the BE!
Tsk - Good busy day out in the yard!! Hope you are relaxing now!
Beakers have a good night.

Phyl, poor swan dealing with the gusty winds..... Finally found Mr North ;D ... cute penguins... thanks for the story on the parrots.
Clynn, wonderful photos of E23 doing jumping jacks! ;D ... gorgeous Utah pics... love the Seven Tea Cups. I hope you had a fun day with the munchkins.
Lisa, Jalapeno Cheese Bread is delicious! I usually buy one at the Farmer's Market.
Kb, beautiful snowy! poor shepherd.
Tsk, glad you're having a good day.
Tig, awww Rosie and Nosie. What a wonderful surprise for Rosie's Mom to be able to spend TLC time with her daughter before she leaves. Awesome ship name.
Karen, I hope your exercise sessions are going well. Take care.
Baz, beautiful post for Eaglesrock. KU lost :'(. ... so sad, trying to be a big girl about it. :-X
BL, What a trip that must have been for you... roped of course.
Eagles, Finally had a bit of rain today. sending hugs. :-*

Good day with the Munchkins yesterday! Bella wanted to paint her nails by herself! She did a very good job and was very proud of her work! We went to the park, I didn't get any pictures there, they both took off to play with the kids there. They played with Pokemon cards and Bella had some art work to do! And, of course, playing with the kittens!

Lani, yes, a fun day with the Munchkins! I will have them on Wednesdays this summer! They are growing up so fast... Sorry KU lost... but they will win again!
E4E, yes, Sam and Sophie took a good nap after the kids were gone! (ENT = Ears, Nose,Throat Specialist)
BL, I love that you are letting us know if you have been to any of the places I am posting! I know you know that this country is filled with beauty everywhere, most of us see very little of it!
Phyl, yes, I got my nap yesterday! Recharged me for sure! Oh, it's those Wild and Crazy Guys! I love the old SNL shows! Good 365! Beautiful scenery! Cute little Irish girls! Thanks for Amy's Blog, will read it as soon as I finish this post.
tsk, Harley's appointment at the new vet is tomorrow. I will crush a gabapentin pill in some kitten food for him tonight, and then 2 hours before his 3:30 appointment. Ed is in charge of taking him, he is too heavy for me to carry in the carrier. He has to get his rabies shot, a general checkup and his claws trimmed! We will work on getting him together with the kittens this weekend! They are used to each other's scent now so that helps. Harley just now:

Thunderstorms started about 2 AM and have continued on and off since then and will continue all day. ;D
BL WOW That is a hike I will take a pass on. LOL
LANI Precious good night photo. :) KU :(
PHYL " Lucky Charms" ;D Would love to have seen a close up of the wood pidgeon 365 Thanks for Amy's blog ;D " wild and crazy guys" the best years of SNL
CLYNN How great to have the Munchkins this summer. How has Bella changed since being in school? I think you have done a good job of getting the scents into Harley's world. It should go well this weekend. A lot of geese :o :o
-
Good Morning! 47 now going to 80 at 4pn. Cloudy!
Phyl, google Brandt and Daroff exercises. Just finished set one of three.
Clynn, the geese do look like clumps of snow or the remains of cotton after a harvest! Bella is looking grown up and has Talon lost a tooth? If not he will be making friends with the orthodontist!
Ooh, the sun has popped out for a while! So cheerful!
Interesting little dolls on the round wooded bases. Are these tge kind that collapse if you push the bottom? Had one as a child and have no idea where it is now! Only remember having it.
Loved yesterday’s st. patty’s door decoration! Very festive, Tsk and Puff, are they dying the Chicago River?
Offto do some chores and read the posts. E23 still home!
Happy Pi Day!

Minnesota loon.
Good Morning.
BL - nothing but admiration for all the skills you've developed over your lifetime!
eagles4 - Yup I watered the area in deeply, thankfully the frost is out. It was yellow and loose so didn't know what if anything could be lingering in the soil.
Ollie man still sure did sniff out the areas all day yesterday. He knew an intruder had penetrated his territory.
Unfortunately, I never heard who the GSD belonged to. In fact another close by neighbor posted a pic of 2 of them, 2 GSD's running together chasing a cat during the same time frame. Her words: They were not nice in doing so.
Am just happy that yesterday morning was not a morning I was walking with Ollie on those exact streets.
Today is however and I will be on guard with my pepper spray.
I do think "spring fever" has hit all our creatures...many loose dogs and cats in my city currently.
-
Those dogs sound poorly cared for and hungry. Don't you have animal control you can call to pick them up?
-
Good Morning Beakers.....Happy Pi Day!

karen - Oh my, that exercise does not sound like fun.
Phyl - ENT went good. I am good for another 3 months. :D Love the Lucky Charms figurines. Thanks for the 365. Loved that skit on SNL!
E4E - ENT is Ear, Nose & Throat doc, and thank you. :)
Lani - Oh, you love the jalapeno cheese bread, too!
clynn - Great pics of the munchkins. Looks like they had a good day with Grandma! Good luck to Harley at vet, and introducing them to Sam & Sophie.
tsk - I think we may be getting your thunderstorms tomorrow.
kb - Love the pic of the loon & baby.
-
Animal Control is called all the time in my city....I have myself 3-4 times just since I got Ollie.
This time I didn't, but anyone else in my town could have..
Too many loose dogs as I've stated many times. in my opinion, too many dog rescues in Minnesota as well per my vet. It's actually become a big business, unfortunately. I know which ones now are reliable and have compassion, but not all. My sis used to foster.
Share the load people..too many people here adopt dogs don't know or care what to do to be responsible.
Ollie has been bit and shook, I have fallen, and my Walter thrown around by two labs on his neck. Not to mention close calls. And this in only a 3/4 mile walk in a 11 sq. mile city.

Royal Albatross ~ Dad LGK Comes Back Twice! Feeds His Chick & Visits With TFT Chick! 💗 3.13.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbWWGdDBX2Y&t=1056s
Mar 13, 2024
Dad LGK has been coming in every other day to feed TF along with LGL! He arrives back to the nest and sits down and makes TF come towards him for the feeding! LGK feeds TF and when he is finished he sits down and gives a little preen to the top of TF's head ♥ LGK then departs but he comes back a few minutes later with a beautiful landing! But instead of heading back to his nest, he goes over to TFT's nest for a short & very polite little visit ♥ LGK is a gentleman albie Dad and TFT has nothing to be afraid of with him coming to visit (just like WYL does with TF).
LGK then makes his way back to TF and sits down to rest. He does not feed TF again, just stays for a few minutes and then he takes off as well. LGK is a wonderful albie Dad and is making sure that TF keeps growing and hitting all those weight markers! Thank you for watching!

Phyl, thanks for nature video and RRP update... #3 goose egg ;D.. sweet mini Moo and Mom. ;D ... good Luck on GSB.... Those were the best years of SNL!
Clynn, cute morning pics! Hopefully all your peace pics will work for Harley and kittens. I'm sure they will, since Harley and kittens have become use to each other's scents. Harley looks like he's in the mole hole. LOL! :-* Good luck on his vet appts... the munchkins look great and growing like weeds. They love staying with their grandma.... God bless them. :-* ... goodness, that's a lot of snow geese! :o
{{{Hi Karen}}}
Kb, adorable morning pic... we have the same problem here with runaway dogs and cats in the spring. People get careless, forget to check yard gates, etc. Sadly, we have coyotes, Mountain Lions, Bobcats, just waiting... Thankfully, we have Next Door Neighbor website, everyone instantly posts lost animals pics, before they get lost in the forest. And our Payson Animal Shelter or neighbors will keep pets until their owners are found. Sometimes campers will find dogs that have been missing for several months or a year or more and turn them in.
Lori, love your morning pics :-*
Lisa, Happy Pi Day! ;D
-
Lisa, the part of the set of 5 where I lay down and put my head down and turn it 45 degrees is not fun. At the end of day 4 it may be a tad better! 10 more days to go!
Bl, did you grow up in Bergen county? Lovely area! thought a drive I took along the Hudson, years ago was beautiful!
Seds Beakers! (baz, have a burger and fries once every month or two)
LOL, Karen! I won't be eating hamburgers that often... LOL! I mostly have omitted red meat from my diet, so I have a major treat every once in a long while with steaks - about twice a year, maybe a 3rd time here or there, and a good burger no more often than that, and usually only maybe twice a year (sometimes I have cheated, but I try not to!). That sure makes a meal like that a really big treat for me! ;) ;D Oh, I hope your special exercises will bring you some improvement! And hopefully they will get easier to do with repetition and time. Hugs! :) :-*
-
Baz, beautiful post for Eaglesrock. KU lost :'(. ... so sad, trying to be a big girl about it. :-X
Lani, OMG, I saw that KU game!! :o :'( I'm so sorry! For you, Mike, and the Jayhawks!! I figured it was going to be a really tough time for them after 2 of their major team stars had to sit out with injuries!! Very unfortunate timing! It would be hard for any team to overcome that against another good opponent, especially in a conference tournament. Dang! But the KU Jayhawks have had a really great year this year, and I hope they can get some wins in The Big Dance!! Hang in there!! :) I just finished watching my Tarheels win their conference tourney game, so they will play their next game in our conference tourney tomorrow at 7p, Eastern. Fingers crossed. :D

PUFF You can bet they will dye the river - Am not sure what day tho. That's right - It is PI day ;D
LISA Everything in your AM photo looks delicious ;D Actually the maps said we would get rain all day today - Sun is in and out now!!! It is 52 degrees - maybe I will get to go for a walk afterall LOL
KB So your Sis doesn't foster dogs any more?
LORI I'm so glad to hear about the formal entrance of spring into our vocabulary ;) ;) Hope Grandma is doing OK.
Nope she doesn't after years of doing it. BTW she always had 3 plus dogs of her own before fostering.
Only recently stopped due to below. However, she still is in contact with many of the rescue groups.
These days she bought her own pure bred black shih tsu, Max, and helps take care of her son's dogs when he needs her who lives in Rochester MN....cause he has a new daughter born through IVF during covid.
In other words she's helpful now to other things in life.
-
Happy Day, Beakers! :D
Clynn, great pics of Talon and Bella, and lots of fun time!! :D Talon is looking sooo grown up!! :-* Awww, Harley! :-* I hope his trip to the vet goes without any issue. I can't wait to hear your report whenever Harley first meets the kittens!! :) :-* :-*
Lani, I'm glad your community works together to help lost or abandoned or feral dogs and cats. :-*
KB, you make it sound like it's a terrible place where you live. I hope things get better.
BL, I can't imagine jumping from one of those pillows to the next! Glad you were roped in! What an incredible place to stand and see!!
Lisa, glad your ENT gave you a big thumbs up! :)
Lori, love your Spring pics. LOL on the kitty playing in the snow!! :D :D :-* :-*
Karen, I had totally forgotten this is Pi Day till you mentioned it!!
TSK, I've been watching the weather news and forecast for your area. Hope you can get a walk in.
E4E, I hope your Mom is feeling better. Has the weather settled down near you now? Lots of windy and stormy weather sdtill about in some places of CA.
OG, have the hordes descended upon your store for gardening and yard care items yet?
Tig, you back at the pool today? Glad you had such a fun visit with Rosie. :)

baz - don't know if it's terrible or not. Just stating the facts...perhaps it is?
Since it's been this way for decades I suspect a new leadership class is in need to change it.
Too many current ones who prefer to do nothing or offend someone.

The Ides of March—a day of murder that forever changed history
The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C still resonates as a day of infamy. Here's how the plot unfolded.

Phyl, I have seen other articles about the possibly very active hurricane season that may be coming...scary... Be safe in the thunderstorms! Love the scenery in the Pyrenees, especially with the birds! Interesting article on the Ides of March, I never really knew what it meant. Yum on the Grasshopper Pie!
Lani, what a cute dog in your good night! Glad you don't have mean dogs running loose! Are you and Mike getting all geared up for March Madness? I love reading the Royal Albies updates, and it won't be long until the bears at NABC are out!
E4E, hoping your Mom feels a little better every day...
karen, Ed is Irish on both sides and he basically pays no attention to Saint Patrick's Day!
tsk, you mentioned algebra...ugh. I liked geometry much better!
Lisa, we had a few really nice days this past weekend, I opened the sliding door and let the kittens out on the deck. They loved being out there and watching the bird shows! Always some action there with the squirrels, the chipmunks and the birds!

1 month old baby otter at the Miami Zoo....baby otters are so dang cute!
Happy Friday all.
Leashed dogs know they are vulnerable around a loose dog. They know they can't run away nor greet a dog in a natural dog way....hmm, sniffing etc.
Loose dogs know the leashed dog is more vulnerable too. They don't have to be normally mean to lash out and bite. I asked the officer after a loose dog attacked Ollie unprovoked. Literally charged him from quite a distance away, Why?...she said there are multiple reasons. Lost? afraid? territorial can make a normally friendly dog do this.
Leashed vs. unleashed is ripe for a confrontation. Not always of course but heightened probabllity.
One more day of above average temps and then the bottom falls out...with that S word in the forecast at the end of next week. Of course they've predicted it before only to not happen, but temps are colder incoming. Lots of people have put their shovels and snow blowers away.
In fact my mower was returned to me yesterday all fixed!..cable for the self propelled function broke and the gear needed oiling. Should be much easier this summer to mow my steep hill. Yah!

Phyl - Grasshopper Pie looked good. Thanks for the links this morning. Cute lil squirrel.
karen - LOL, I am like you...love the Irish stuff, but not Irish.
E4E - Hugs for your ((Mom)). We are having another warm day. The high for today will be 73°, but I see some rain in the forecast for this evening. I do have all the windows open at the moment to let some fresh air in.
Lani - What a beautiful pup in your good night pic.
clynn - My kitties would love that, if I had a deck. But, I think I would never get Bandit back inside. ;D Oh, another great pic... Sycamore Falls, Arizona
Lori - Thank you for remembering my big guys birthday!
tsk - Oh no, you didn't get to go on your walk, but treadmill, next best thing.
kb - Cute otter.
-
KB Yes sireee - A cutie - Love the nails :o Glad your mower is fixed. Trying to take it in during the peak season makes it almost impossible to get it back in a timely fashion.

TGIF Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Phyl, we're having a well-needed rainy day too. It's been several months since we've heard our first thunderstorm. It's a treat for sure ;D .... thanks for today's nature video and history lesson.
Clynn, well, I'd like to think we don't have mean dogs, mainly they are aggressive. Even at our gated community we have a dog park, they're are always one or two that are aggressive, like to have their way. Sadie's been attacked three times. All off-leash dogs because it's a dog park. We're cautious about taking Sadie to the park at certain times. She doesn't do well anymore in social situations with other dogs. We have one gal who has a very aggressive dog, she let's him run the golf course off-leash which is against Payson laws. But, because she's a well-known golfer, she gets her way. Her dog bit another dog that was on leash. She had been warned about allowing her dog freedom off the golf cart when she's driving through the community. Anyway, the guy reported her dog and went to court to get her to pay the over $1000 in vet bills. She fought it and lost. Ended up paying vet bill plus another $500 to the court for continuing to allow her dog off leash, even if its a gated community. She continues to let her dog off leash on her golf cart and run the course. The HOA and Golf Course committee won't enforce the Payson leash laws on the golfers who use the course as their pet stop. Sadie hates the dog when he runs by on the course behind our home. And the owner flies by on her golf cart following him. Someday he'll come into contact with an coyote or Mountain Lion, she'll have to deal with that. The judge did tell her one more time he receives a complaint her dog will be taken.... I don't bring everything that happens in our life to the Beak. Her lack of respect for the law or community doesn't affect how much joy I have when I take Sadie for our daily walk or when Mike takes Sadie to the dog park in the late afternoon. That's his daily time with her. I'm sure you find the current book I just wrote to you boring. LOL! But, it's just my way of saying, "just because I don't write about it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen here too." We just go on and enjoy the time we do have.... by the way, I love "Renovation Aloha!" Our first home was in Kaneohe (1971) then Mike's pop died and we moved to Kansas. What a treat it is to see how much the area has grown! Shocking cost of homes! My local tongue has returned. Mike noticed yesterday, and asked what show was I watching! I was sounding like I was back home in Hawaii. LOL!! ... beautiful Sycamore Falls! I hope Harley's appt went well, soon he'll be able to enjoy the porch with his siblings too.
Tsk, I hate math especially algebra, like Clynn, I did better in Geometry... Dr. Rogers hasn't reported any black bear movement from their dens.
Lori, wonderful birthday post for Bandit! ;D
Lisa, The pup in my good night pic is from a rescue center. :-*
Happy birthday Bandit! :-*
Kb, sweet baby otter.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :D
Clynn, how did Harley fare with the vet visit? I hope he's back to his regular life today. :-* I bet it's fun times for the kittens to see all the wildlife from your enclosed deck! :D :-* :-*
Lisa, Happy Birthday to Bandit!!! :D :-*
Lani, I loved reading your "book" to Clynn! ;D Yes, it makes so much more sense to just deal with the frustrations of daily life as best we can and go on with the greater enjoyment of the best each day offers!! :) :-* :-* And, surely, it's the same with me, and so many other regular Beakers, that we have much going on in our lives, and not always the good or fun stuff, that we never mention at all in The Beak. It just isn't very nice to unload all that "junk" here, day in and day out, that most of us have to deal with. It's also true that most of the regulars here do understand and care when any of us is going through a troubling or difficult time, and of course, we want to support our Beaker friends through those times. So The Beak is an extra nice place to share those kinds of things, in addition to our fun and celebratory happenings, which we love to cheer each other on about, too. :) :-* Ha ha, I love that you are talking like you're back home in Hawaii!! And Mike noticed!! :D :-* :-* :-*
(((Karen))), keep on keeping on with your home exercises. You're doing great to follow them! :) I hope you and Piper are getting to enjoy some of this nice, warm weather while you get to sit on your screened porch glider!! :D
Gotta run, Beakers. Waving to you, All! :) :-*

Been gardening !.....I have to laugh about it...and I love it.
My second mower is being returned to me soon, just 50 bucks for new blades and a tune up.
The back yard one needed new parts so more...
I'm now set and like tsk said before Glen gets backed up which might be soon!
Lani - yuk on your neighbor with the aggressive dog
My forsythia is sure coming along in just 2 days!..almost in full bloom.

LANI That's one Irish pup LOL Wonder who that golfer thinks she is? But I guess there are always those above the law! Quite a story. Glad you found Renovation Aloha. They create some gorgeous homes.

Lani, your post wasn't too long at all, it's nice to know some of the things we all go through. The 'giving celebrities a pass' when they don't follow the rules is something i cannot stand. I am glad you were able to come up with a solution for you and Sadie. I know how much you cherish your early morning walks! That is so cute that you watched Renovation Aloha and fell back into your Native dialect! I knew you would like the show, there is a lot of Hawaii in it, ! I love how the whole family gets together at the end and the house gets the traditional Hawiian Blessing... Tristyn reminds me of you, I picture you like her back in your younger days! That Irish Dog!!! Harley's appointment is at 3:30.
kb, Grandma always said 'one more snow after the forsythia blooms'...
Baz, Harley's appointment is 3:30, it's 2:00 here now.
Erin called, Bella now has to wear glasses for reading, etc. She is near-sighted! Her glasses will be here in a week or so. :o
baz, I agree, the Beak Room is a good group, but I know most of us don't talk about everything going on in our lives. I think it all has to do with how much one wants to share... some are just more private.
tsk, some tidbits about how the Chicago River is dyed green! https://www.timeout.com/chicago/things-to-do/how-they-dye-the-chicago-river-green

Golden Age Glamour · When developers began renovating old apartments in the new lower east side, they found bathtubs in kitchens.
Inside the now historic NY apartments new immigrants called home. Bathtubs and even showers can be found in the kitchens of many of New York's late 19th and early 20th century apartments. The apartments were often the home of new immigrants and New Yorkers living in these historic homes would bathe next to the kitchen sink.
Often this was necessary. Some buildings only had a Common Sink that all used, on the first floor. Running water and a tub was luxury. This would be common around 1900, as Public Bath Houses began to emerge in NYC. All you needed was a board for counter space. This was a "modern" East Village Apartment around 1900, as people began moving north of Houston.Also read and see more photos: https://besrilankan.com/21-historic-photos-that-captured.../

tsk - Bandit is 12 today and for his special treat, Jeff baked him some salmon. Are you going to the parade tomorrow?
Lani - Read your story, and glad the lady lost in court and was fined. Rules are rules, and should be followed by all, not cause you are a well-known golfer. ::)
baz - Thank you!
kb - Not a bad price for tune-up on your mower.
Phyl - Thanks for the hurricane link.
clynn - Aww, Bella needing glasses. Was that a surprise or did you all suspect she needed them? I bet she will look adorable. Good luck to Harley! I would love that for the kitties, but Bandit would not want to come inside. We try to take him for a walk in our arms around the yard, just to let him have some fresh air, besides with windows being open and when we bring him back inside, he bites us. I still think he hates us for making him an indoor cat. ;D
tig - Enjoy your night at the pub.

Happy Birthday Bandit!

Lisa, yummy on Bandit's homecooked birthday salmon treat! That was very nice of Jeff. Party time for Bandit! :) :-*

TSK, glad you have the treadmill to use when the weather is good. I saw the last part of your Marquette game last night! Whoa!! But they prevailed! Yay for your Golden Eagles! I found fresh-baked Irish Soda Bread at Harris Teeter today. They are also now owned by Kroger. I wonder if the loaf you found is like the one I found. It was tasty! :)
Clynn, oops... sorry... I thought Harley's vet appt was yesterday. I got the days mixed up. Now I remember you saying he would get gabapentin last night before bed, and then again today before going to the vet. I hope it has gone well for all. :) :-*
Lani, thanks! I will be watching my Tarheels tonight, for sure!
Tig, have fun and I hope the Irish music is good.
Puff, I hope your computer person is working some good magic for you, and you will be able to get back online again soon.
Phyl, glad you didn't have any damage from severe weather at your house. I saw the severe warning in part of the Nashville area for a bit last night while watching the updates on The Weather Channel. Prayers for those affected by the severe weather outbreak... especially for the loss of life in Ohio from the tornadoes there last night.
E4E, glad you have been getting some good weather, and glad to hear your mom is getting along some better. :)
Lori, I hope you and your family were all safe from the weather last night. I'm not sure if that line of severe storms came through your area.
I needed a veggie fix today, so I steamed fresh cabbage and baby carrots to have with a giant bowl of salad I made from two different kinds of Organic Girl mixed baby greens - one was Super Greens, and the other was Baby Kale mix. I drizzled it with some homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette. It tasted so good! I have been lacking in the veggie dept. lately! But... I also picked up a fresh-baked loaf of Irish Soda Bread today, and had it with buttter! Yum! And a glash. ;D And, I put some butter on the steamed veggies! :o ;D That was a big treat, and it was all so yum!
That was a late lunch, and then I walked for 31 minutes. The clouds have moved in and thickened up now - for rain tonight. I will watch my UNC Tarheels play their conference semi-final game tonight at 7pm, Eastern, and I will have some kind of snack with that, for sure. So I better start getting some longer walks in! LOL.
Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Off topic:
I highly recommend the tv series "Masters of the Air"...WW11 documentary about the real men of the 100th Bombartment.....oh it's so good. Real life aviators. Think we watched it on Apple TV but if you get a chance it's so well done....includes the Tuskegee airmen as well and of the main peeps that made it all but one lived into there 80's to 90's.

PHYL NOAA has a while to go before predicting. You just never know.
CLYNN If Bella needs glasses for reading I think that means she is far-sighted ?( can't see near but can see far) I hope she picked out some wild frames ;) ;) Did she get tested in school? As kids - we all got glasses really early - Dad needed glasses all the time and Mom for driving only altho she did wear them all the time. So us three kids could not escape that. Good story about the dying of the Chicago River ;D 1900s kitchen - yet they made do. Great shots of that prairie chicken.
TIG Ambitious project!! I have two hosta to move but no where near ready for that. Have fun tonight ;D
LISA I've never been to the Parade. Can watch on TV if I want LOL I hardly ever go downtown anymore and never, driving. I know, you can whiz through that city like no body's business LOLOL I can take the train or EL down with my senior pass ;D
BAZI 6 PM here so just turned the game on. :D

Good Evening Beakers! >:(. Day began well and got iffy around noon but all turned out well! Water (all 64 ounces) consumed by four, 3 sets of exercises over with by 4 dinner finished and a full dish washer now doing its thing!
Have always heard of prairie Chickens but have never seen one! What a magnificent thing! Have to google that. Thanks for posting, clynn! Also thanks for the am flowers! Bellas Mother wears glasses. I think.
Thinks for the reminder of the Ides of March! Good refresher!
Did not mind Algebra as much as Trigonometry. Nasty stuff! Has sines and cosines but don't ask me more!
Happy Birthday to Bandit! I was going to ask if he got a fish cake! Salmon is good!
Good posts all. Going to settle down and concentrate on the Tar heels now!

Royal Albatross ~ LGL & WYL Come Home To Feed Their Chicks! 💗 Sweet Neighborly Interactions 3.14.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Q92vrolPA
Mar 15, 2024
This was a very interesting interaction by WYL and LGL when they came in to feed their chicks! First WYL arrives and he feeds TFT and sits and rests a while- then gives a 2nd feeding! TFT gets a huge piece (looks like a tentacle) and swallows it. WYL then leaves his nest and comes over to TF's nest and does some Albie- chick-sitting 🙂 Uncle WYL is such a great albie pseudo parent to TF.
LGL arrives back and walks up to her nest and has some neighborly interactions and preening with WYL. LGL walks over to TFT nest and WYL comes over and they have another preening session.
Albatross commonly will preen one another to remove head lice. It does not mean that they are interested in a new mate. LGL then returns to TF and gives her chick a feeding.
LGL returns to WYL and TFT and they interact once another. Looks like LGL does nudge TFT with her bill gently - TFT wants Dad all to his self! WYL starts in on giving TFT a 3rd feeding and LGL will leave. WYL departs shortly after LGL. TFT's weight should get a big bump up from today's feedings!! And will TF be able to maintain his status as the heaviest chick in the colony again next week? ♥

Good Evening Beakers
Lots of upsets in the Men's conference championships this week - my team included... :'( Now wait to see who goes where for the NCA tourneys...
Working this weekend. Garden Center is picking up - we now have all of the garden bulbs in stock as well as fruit trees, shrubs, roses and live flowers (pansies, etc) Most everything else is fully stocked now. We are still moving stuff around inside the store as well.
Time to catchup on videos...

Phyl, Harley did good at the vet, got his claws trimmed. Ed said he started getting fidgety near the end! The Doc said he could stand to lose a little weight! Ha! And there's Bob! Sweet kitties with their Saint Patty's hats! We sure do learn a lot here in the Beak, don't we! 56 and windy here today! Love the sound of the Sandhill Cranes in the 365!
oldguy, lots of goodies to watch, looking forward to watching them later! Didn't know donkeys were so fierce!
Lani, thanks for the Alby update! I feel I need a gameboard and some pawns labeled WYL, LGL, TFT & TF to map out all their interactions! No, I never noticed any issues with Bella's sight! It was the teacher that suggested an eye check! And tsk is right, I said it wrong. She is near sighted, needs the glasses for distance sight, like the blackboard or TV.
E4E, yes, I was surprised that Bella needed glasses! She gets that from her Mom, Erin has excellent vision. I remember when he was probably in 6th grade or so, he wanted glasses! So we had his eyes checked and they were fine!
tsk, you were right! Bella doesn't need glasses for reading! It's the blackboard! I am assuming they still use blackboards in school... ;D I remember Cathy and I being scared when we rode with Becky and Jennifer when they lived in Chicago! They were pros at it though! It was crazy! Portland was almost as bad! Now they are in a much smaller town, sort of in the country.
baz, you are doing good on your walking! And your salad sounds delish! We are going to let Harley upstairs later this morning. He is up here now, we let him have the run of the house since the kittens are in our bedroom for the night. We shoo him down with Ed at 7:00 and let the kittens out. Then at 9:00 PM the kittens go upstairs and Harley gets to come up.
Lisa, hope Bandit had a good birthday! How nice of Jeff to treat him with some salmon! I got salmon at Sams and some fresh asparagus for dinner Sunday!
Lori, love your Happy Birthday for Bandit!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Bandit :-* :-*
tsk - Whizzing thru the city like nobody's business ;D
karen - Glad that you and Piper had some nice porch time.
E4E - Glad to hear that your Mom is doing ok.
Lani - Oooh, a nice cozy fire. Thanks for Royal updates.
oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

clynn - Your Sunday dinner sounds good.
kb - Aww, the ellie

It seems like the musician recognizes me... with a hug and chat... although we only see each other one day a year! A nice couple shared their table with us but we only stayed to eat during the first set. It was a high top table/chairs. Not comfy. Who invented high tops!? Why?
Great music from the duo ... guitar and bodhran: http://www.theirishbrigadeband.com/wordpress_IB/

tig - can't open your link. Says secure site.
I think I know what you mean by high top....I have a dining room table that is one with high top chairs.
Comes in handy for the disabled to easily skootch in and sit....esp. after Scott had his industrial accident.
Our seats are comfy though...maybe yours were just wood and not upholstered?
Just took a graupel walk!...unintended of course but dark spring looking clouds and cold and then on the way home those clouds opened up. Not on radar, nor predicted.
The graupel was soft enough to not hurt though!..

TIG Fun time - good music and food. Tim likes high tables cuz he's tall. I almost need help up!!

TSK - yep, I understand. I hate the height of most chairs = too short. It is a good thing to climb up if there is a ring on the table for a place to rest feet. It was a rectangular table last night, so no ring. Not comfy.
KB - anyone? - I plan to give the tulips that are already coming up some water and not worry about the overnight cold since they are in a raised bed near the house.
Do you think I should water the fern rhizomes I transplanted or just leave them for now, as they appear to be in their dormant state?

Be safe, warm and enjoy the day Beakers!!
Especially our Beak Family basketball teams!!!
It's a great time for basketball!!! Good luck to all!!! ;D

Thanks Tsk! Was going to post that they were on fledge watch and was finishing set one of three when this happened! E23 back in the nest tree after several exploratory flights and stops in the pasture area! He has good landing skills! Back squeeing for applause for his performance or for lunch!
Damp following an overnight rain and a high of 83 today. Same for tomorrow and cooler Monday and for a few days!
Eburg, watcher Iowa til half time and fell asleep! Congratulations on the win! Not pleased that they beat Illinois on the 10th however! Old Guy, sorry about your loss! You have a very successful ladies team to cheer for.
Clynn, what fun are you having with tge kitties and Harley? Shoukd be in full swing now!
Are Bellas glasses bifocals or does she have to take them off every time she reads close up? Might be a hard adjustment! Or hard in the glasses. On and off! Good call on the teacher.

I don't think watering will hurt at all tig...the topsoil has been unfrozen for some time. Even though we have several days ahead with nights in a hard freeze I don't think it's long enough now to worry. Daytime highs will all be above freezing.
I have heard several people are watering not just specific plants but their grass. I'm unwilling to turn the inside water on and off with freezing nights ahead, but believe me I thought about it.
I also didn't mow my back yard yesterday though I sure wanted to, to check the mower out, and I do that often early to "air out" my yard and pick up stray leaves, sticks, and bark before the spring rains return.
But, I didn't want to leave gas in my mower with our evening temps coming up.
Probably would have been okay but I bit my tongue so to speak.

Great game Baz! 8)
Lani, both teams played great last night in that UNC v. Pitt semi-final game! Whew, my UNC Tarheels won though! Yay! :D So UNC will play NC State tonight at 8:30pm (Eastern) for ACC Conference Tourney Championship, on ESPN. People here will call it the Carolina vs State game. There is only 23 miles distance between the campuses of UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State (in Raleigh), so we are major rivals!!
TSK, I will be checking in on your Marquette Golden Eagles' game later today. They play the UCONN Huskies for your Big East Conference Tourney Championship at 6:30pm (Eastern) on the Fox Network channel. That's going to be a BIG game!! Go Marquette!! :D
-
And how 'bout those Cyclones! :) 8)
Eburg, yes! Iowa State Cyclones made minced meat of Baylor last night!! ;D So, it's your Iowa State Cyclones v. Houston Cougars (!!) today for the the Big 12 Conference Tourney Championship!! 6pm Eastern time, ESPN. Go Cyclones! Beat Houston!!! 8) Sorry, Lani.

Royal Albatross ~ LGL & WYL Come Home To Feed Their Chicks! 💗 Sweet Neighborly Interactions 3.14.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Q92vrolPA
Mar 15, 2024
This was a very interesting interaction by WYL and LGL when they came in to feed their chicks! First WYL arrives and he feeds TFT and sits and rests a while- then gives a 2nd feeding! TFT gets a huge piece (looks like a tentacle) and swallows it. WYL then leaves his nest and comes over to TF's nest and does some Albie- chick-sitting 🙂 Uncle WYL is such a great albie pseudo parent to TF.
LGL arrives back and walks up to her nest and has some neighborly interactions and preening with WYL. LGL walks over to TFT nest and WYL comes over and they have another preening session.
Albatross commonly will preen one another to remove head lice. It does not mean that they are interested in a new mate. LGL then returns to TF and gives her chick a feeding.
LGL returns to WYL and TFT and they interact once another. Looks like LGL does nudge TFT with her bill gently - TFT wants Dad all to his self! WYL starts in on giving TFT a 3rd feeding and LGL will leave. WYL departs shortly after LGL. TFT's weight should get a big bump up from today's feedings!! And will TF be able to maintain his status as the heaviest chick in the colony again next week? ♥
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

LGL and WYL check if the camera saw them canoodling ;D

Lani, I love this story - and the great pic with it! The Royal Albies are really special - love the way they look after each other! :) :-* :-* :-* I'm so glad to hear you are getting a good, slow, soaking rain! Your area needs it - as do so many others. I thought I saw snow on the weather map near your area yesterday, so thanks for the confirmation that you did get a bit of slushy snow. It would be great if the desert gets another super bloom this year! I guess it's a wait-and-see at this point.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
BAZI Tarheels ;D ;D
EAGLES I drive all the time - just not downtown or in strange places at night.
LANI That cliff area is kind of like an albie commune LOLOL
OLDGUY Hyena and donkey Who knew. :o Walter and the squeeky toy ;D We all know about the clinic smell ;D
PHYL The AM kitties are all ready for tomorrow ;) Peek a boo parrot ;D
CLYNN Can't wait to hear how the Harley/ S&S greeting went ;) Multnomah Falls WOW
KB Awww that elie and his sick friend :'( :'(
TSK, I love your pic of Lulu at your front window!! :-* :-* I bet she's getting to watch some good action now that the birdies are getting their Spring-time "crazies." Pooh, I was trying to re-display Lulu's pic upright here, embedded, but I can't get it to work right. :-* :D
Oldguy, it sounds like Spring has sprung at your store now! Yep, lots of exciting games, and surprises in the Conference Tourney basketball games!! That's making for some guessing about the seedings/pairings for who all gets in to play in the big NCAA Tournament. I will be watching tomorrow when the final NCAA Tourney Brackets get decided! Lots of fun! ;D If y'all are getting together for it - Good luck at cards tonight!! :D

It seems like the musician recognizes me... with a hug and chat... although we only see each other one day a year! A nice couple shared their table with us but we only stayed to eat during the first set. It was a high top table/chairs. Not comfy. Who invented high tops!? Why?
Great music from the duo ... guitar and bodhran: http://www.theirishbrigadeband.com/wordpress_IB/
HAGD
Tig, hope the food was good, at least, and the 1 set of Irish music. I believe those high-top tables and tall chairs were designed for seating people near the bar, and near some countertops, to be at pretty much the same height as the bar/countertop height, and the people sitting at them. LOL on the friendly musician! :D
-
Thanks Tsk! Was going to post that they were on fledge watch and was finishing set one of three when this happened! E23 back in the nest tree after several exploratory flights and stops in the pasture area! He has good landing skills! Back squeeing for applause for his performance or for lunch!
Damp following an overnight rain and a high of 83 today. Same for tomorrow and cooler Monday and for a few days!
Eburg, watcher Iowa til half time and fell asleep! Congratulations on the win! Not pleased that they beat Illinois on the 10th however! Old Guy, sorry about your loss! You have a very successful ladies team to cheer for.
Clynn, what fun are you having with tge kitties and Harley? Shoukd be in full swing now!
Are Bellas glasses bifocals or does she have to take them off every time she reads close up? Might be a hard adjustment! Or hard in the glasses. On and off! Good call on the teacher.
Karen, yay! for E23's successful fledge! Accidental, or not, it sounds like he is doing really well to have made several flights in the pasture, and made it back to the nest tree, safely! Yayay for E23!! :D :-* I hope you didn't jump up, mid-exercise set, and mess up your ears! ;) Just joking!
Clynn, we might need that gameboard and pieces to track Harley and The Kittens, too! ;) ;) :D But that all sounds like a good, working plan for all. Glad to hear Harley did well at the new vet. :-* Can't wait to hear what happens between Harley and Sam and Sophie with their first tête-à-tête! :D Those falls are gorgeous!! Yummy salmon and asparagus planned for your Sunday dinner - that's a great combo!! :)

TIG If I were you I would water the rhizomes well 1 time and they should do well.
KAREN Glad you provided the update on E23. I saw that later that E23 had returned on his own. Yes his performance should earn him some "brownie" points. ;D ;D Karen I made the dessert - HOWEVER Misread the carton of milk and didn't realize it was buttermilk - I was wondering why the pudding did not gel ::) ::) ::). SO we had a very elaborate grasshopper pudding dessert LOLOL I will make it again however using the right milk. Also there is not the size pudding on the self they ask for ( 3.9 oz) - ever so I just used large.
LORI Great Caturday posts ;D Love the fat cat- feet up- on the table LOL

Lani, Harley doesn't play with cat toys much, but Sam and Sophie love their toys! Sophie is a trash picker, she will play with anything! I was eating some baby carrots and she stole one and played with it! Springs are her favorite, Sam loves pompom balls, he carries them all over! Every few days I get the long-handled Swiffer and get all the toys out from under furniture! We got the cats together twice yesterday, and will do more today! I started wearing glasses in the 5th grade, and it was the teacher that suggested to Mom that they get my eyes checked! The cat that turned to stone, LOLOL!
E4E, glad you had a ball game to go to! I can't wait until it warms up more here!
oldguy, more not so good news for Grindavik. I looked at one of the videos on the side, this one has spectacular views of the lava flow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjKvD4nS2qQ
BL, one can actually swim in the teacups? Wow! That would be unique! I really enjoy your comments when you have been to any of the places I post a picture of!
Emy, love the turtle on his skateboard!
Phyl, oh that kitty in the crocheted Saint Patty hat! Thanks for the Saint Patrick's Day info, especially why we wear green! Great Sandhill Cranes in the 365, love the sounds!

Phyl - LOL, the stone kitty! Awww, Maggie is going to have a seafood feast too for her birthday? Your pizza sounded good. Thanks for all the links.
tsk - Your St. Paddy's dinner sounded good yesterday. I am going to get some Corned Beef Reuben's from one of the local restaurants for late lunch/early dinner.
E4E - Misty does not like people food...thank goodness! Your grandson did great at his baseball game.
Lani - Bandit loves catnip, but not in toys, too!
clynn - Love that St. Paddy's planter, and the Irish blessing.
tig - Oh no, snowflakes!
-
TIG some good Irish music to start the day. We had snowflakes her as well.
LISA Ruebens are the way to go. Would rather do that than the meal.
My great niece - the sister of the " Broadway to be star" is the ice skater ( 11 yrs old). Her ice review is today so off to see that in about an hour.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Beakers!
Morning Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Clynn, Hildermann does a fantastic job of reporting on the Iceland volcano lava flow. Boy, is it flowing... glad your cat family is being introduced. I'm sure your vet helped you with ideas too... Miss Bella will look adorable with glasses, just like her beautiful mom. Love today's St. Pat's pics.
Phyl, thanks for history of St. Patrick's Day. I had chosen my morning pic before I read your post, so I appreciate it's history.... a gathering of Sandhill cranes and off they go... I wish we had a telescope. So much to see out in the universe. thanks for the Livescience link.
BL, Beautiful Tea cups... Have you and Pip ever been to any of the falls on any of the Hawaiian isles?
Tig, thanks for links
Lisa, Mike's going to pick up a Reuben for my late lunch today too. He'll have his usual Sunday halibut for his dinner. ;D
Tsk, you have very talented great nieces. Good luck to her! ;D
{{{Baz}}}
{{{Puff}}} thinking of you :-*
Mike's lower back is giving him problems again, he'll have to get in for another shot, but this time in a different area. He can't lay down, so sleeping at night hasn't been comfortable for the past week or more. Mike keeps his pain discomfort to himself, but I'm not blind. I catch him holding on to the walls or counters again. His last shot was Dec. 23rd. He was able to go 14 months before he had an injection into the spine in Dec., now he needs one sooner. We're hoping he doesn't have to go through an MRI and insurance approval before he can get one. He needs to fly to Utah to check on his company truckers end of March. Well, he's looking forward to March Madness Bracket announcement at 3pm PT. I wonder how many in our Big 12 conference will be invited. ;D

What fun I've been having. . .NOT! But I did get back in enough to check in. :-\ New machine switched me into HP 11 - What's the old saying? Something about "old dog, new tricks". It ain't fun. But I'll keep working on things. Worst modification so far would be getting/sending mail. (Not that I use it that much?) :'( They do give me the option to revert back to 10 -- as soon as I solve that riddle, maybe soon.
Did get in and figure out how to open/read forum channels. One major kink even here; maybe Amy can give me a clue.
OK switch to a fun day and celebration!!!! I do have ala my Dad some distant link to the Irish. (Reminder - I am an "American" mix, makes me true American: Mom = German/Russian Dad = Italian/Irish/Cherokee) I finished baking last night and cut into one of my Irish Soda Breads. Had 2 slices for breakfast. Truth be told: L got the recipe from an Irish travel advisor in north Chicago area. Most don't know there is a "to do" between Chicago area northern Irish and southside Irish. There is also a "rivalry" when it comes to Irish soda bread. While chatting with my orthopedic surgeon (James Moran), conversation between the two of us who like to talk always, he asked me what I use in my recipe. He informed me when I finished that his wife made hers the same way. Unfortunately, his declaration was that that is not Irish soda bread but American Irish soda bread. Well, la di dah! My rebuttal was that I've tasted Irish soda bread many times while in Ireland - very seldome and very little. It's horri terrible. ;D They just use a lot of Guiness to wash it down. ::)
Now I'm ready to start the corned beef. (I don't like cooked cabbage, so for my tradition I use brussel sprouts. Always made cabbage for Ton.) Also listening to Irish folk and reel music while watching games. Love corned beef. I'll be doing leftovers for the week.
Glad to be back in the groove, even if there are ruts.
P
P.S. Yes I have been to the "old sod" I guess maybe 6 or 7 times. I have the greatest of many reasons for me to say it is my #1 choice for a beautiful, fun, people friendly of places I've been to. I've also taken on the challenge of getting certified by their master national travel bureau.

TIG If I were you I would water the rhizomes well 1 time and they should do well.
KAREN Glad you provided the update on E23. I saw that later that E23 had returned on his own. Yes his performance should earn him some "brownie" points. ;D ;D Karen I made the dessert - HOWEVER Misread the carton of milk and didn't realize it was buttermilk - I was wondering why the pudding did not gel ::) ::) ::). SO we had a very elaborate grasshopper pudding dessert LOLOL I will make it again however using the right milk. Also there is not the size pudding on the self they ask for ( 3.9 oz) - ever so I just used large.
LORI Great Caturday posts ;D Love the fat cat- feet up- on the table LOL
BAZI I'm so glad you post times for the games. What time are the brackets being announced tomorrow? Uncle Jim just left . Early dinner of corned beef and cabbage, potatoes carrots. I see MU game is on now YAY Dishwasher is going - My soft clothes are on!
PHYL LOL " He saw you in curlers" ;D
LANI ..." they sent the ugly fireman" LOL
EMY That was a great piece with the turtle skate boarder and the kitty LOL
TSK, the regular CBS network channel will announce the official NCAA Tourney Brackets starting at 6pm, Eastern time, today. After that's over, ESPN and other sports channels will have all the talking heads doing analysis of the brackets/Bracketology for about as long as anyone cares to listen to it, and more. ;) :D Sorry about your Marquette Golden Eagles - it was a close game till about halfway through the 2nd half. Looks like they're headed to the NCAA Tourney anyway - same situation as for my Tarheels. :(
Eburg, your Iowa State game was incredible!!! They chewed up Number 1 Houston from the very beginning, and spat them out at the end!! ;D ;D
-
:') Cyclones. Unbelieveable! Hope they can continue in the NCAA Tourney. :)
Eburg, that was something to behold!!! Way to go Iowa State Cyclones!!! :D
-
Just amazing. Bl!
Baz, I am not sure you are going to be happy with this hame but I think ncs has been on a hot run! We will see. As they say, ain’t over til the fat lady sings!
Love the cat Phyl posted re telling him what he did wrong! So true!
Piper and I are tired sonwill turn this thing off! Seds
Karen, not happy hardly describes it. ;) :o Yes, NC State's team has been possessed during the entire Conference Tourney - definitely a different team from their regular season play. They played great last night. What can I say? I feel bad for my Tarheels, who had a bad shooting night, and seemed to forget to play their usual top-performing offensive rebounding. ??? ::) Even so, they still won the regular season conference championship title, and have that banner hung in the rafters of the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill, and the corresponding trophy in the case there at the Dean Smith Center, already. So that's a major positive! And, they will be moving on now to the NCAA Tournament - and I hope they will shake off last night's game, and still get their Number 1 Seed for The Big Dance... which we will see, officially, tonight at 6pm (Eastern) on CBS, when the NCAA Tournament brackets are officially announced. GO HEELS!! ;D
-
{{{Baz}}} What a game, we watched, Mike even got his half time popcorn out too. Sorry :(. But, now we have to shake it off, and get ready for next week. Mike thinks Tarheels will be one of the Top four seeds. :-*
Lani, LOL on Mike's halftime popcorn! I am guessing (because of some of our shared KU/UNC basketball history) that he may have been very much enjoying watching NC State topple UNC!! ::) :P ;) Oh well, that's basketball fandom!! ;) ;D See my earlier reply post to Karen for my take on the game last night. :P Oh well, moving along... Time to shrug off what's past, and get ready for The Big Dance! Yay! I'm hoping Mike's right about UNC still getting one of the Number 1 Seeds... we'll find out for certain in a few hours!! Fingers, talons, and everything else, crossed!!! :D

Does anyone in the Beak use the Robo Vac? Our walking buddy is considering getting one.
Their sweet 20 year old cat Lucy passed away last spring. They are ready to get another cat and rescue Goldie puppy to go with their 6 year old dog Molly. So, they are considering getting one for their wood/tile floors. They are reading comments on the product. So any Beaker comments on the Robo vac would be appreciated.

Given it's corned beef day....I don't have any. But so reminded me of a common meal at my house called
Creamed chipped beef on toast....It was an army meal...my Dad was a lieutenant in the army so I suppose?
I have no idea where to buy chipped beef anymore?....anyone?..maybe they don't sell it.
creamed chipped beef recipe....very similar to what I ate and loved btw, minus the onion.
https://www.food.com/recipe/creamed-chipped-beef-on-toast-17002
This is the only difference I could find off google:
Dried beef, also called chipped beef, is beef that has been partially dried, salt-cured and thinly sliced.
Is corned beef also brined? the only difference?
Am I alone on this One?

Getting ready to do some carpet cleaning...after moving furniture esp..Colin brought his over to me. My extractor no longer works. His is same name brand, Bissell, but newer and much lighter!...yah, some newer products have value..at least for us older folks LOL.

Lani, oh no, (((Mike))). I hope he can get in for a helpful shot soon!! Maybe an extra shot of another type, in liquid form, 8) ;D might help him a wee bit for today? Or maybe with his sleeping. So "Sláinte!" to Mike if he gives that a try - for medicinal purposes, as Aunt Bea would say on "The Andy Griffith Show." ;) ;D Prayers for some quick relief for him soon. LOLOL on closing your eyes when Roy came into view!! ;) ;D
Lori, love all of your SPD post!! :D I would like one of those St. Patrick's Day KKs, please :D and Zippo says thanks! for the good luck shamrocks and the rainbow with a pot o' gold, and she sends a hearty, "Sláinte" back to you and Destini! :D :-* :-*
Clynn, I'm dying to know what Harley's reaction was to Sam and Sophie! I am imagining maybe he just put his ears back, and turned away? Maybe he threw a very little "hiss" back over his shoulder as he turned his back ever so non-chalantly towards the kittens? ;) :-* :-* LOL. Please do tell! Whatever the reaction was, I know it will all be okay soon, if not already. LOL on the baby carrot toy! :) :-* :-* :-*
Puff, glad you're baaack! It takes time to get used to new software... hang in there!! :)

I walked 39 minutes yesterday, and 53 minutes today. It's another beautiful day here today! :)
I'm going to have steamed cabbage and baby carrots again today... soon! ... with pastrami and swiss cheese sliders. I love corned beef, but I already have some deli sliced pastrami, so that's going to do for me. :) I might need to take another walk after I eat!! :o ;D
I'm so hungry! So, Later Gators! Take care, All!

Lani - We could not wait any longer, had to go get our Reubens. ;D Will have a coffee later on to hold me over. Poor ((Mike)), I hope he can get another injection soon without going thru everything else. Prayers for him! Love the Irish blessing.
Puff - Good to see you back. :D
tig - Is poutine a gravy? I think I had something like that in Decorah over fries.
Lori - Great St. Paddy's Day pics, blessing and goodies!
baz - You meal sounds delicious that you are making, and good job on the walking!
kb - Jeff loves creamed chipped beef on toast. They still sell it here in the grocery stores, as it comes in lil packages where the packaged deli meat, and hotdogs are in the grocery.

LISA!! YOUR REUBEN!!! Sorry, I had to take a bite of it!! YUMMM!!! ;D
KB, my mom made creamed chipped beef on toast for supper sometimes, too. I always liked it, and my older, Mtns Sis, loves chipped beef. In addition to what Lisa mentioned about where to find it, I have bought it "canned" in a jar - Armour brand is sold in most grocery stores, including Walmart... you may need to rinse it if it is too salty, so check that out. Hormel sells a similar version in a glass jar, too. Here's a pic of the Armour version in a jar :

Also, I don't know if you have noticed it, and I haven't tried it myself, but Stouffer's does a frozen version of creamed chipped beef, too, that looks like this:

thanks baz - hmm, I'll have to check all areas for chipped beef locally.
I am looking forward to an old familiar taste for sure.

baz - I still have the other half of that sandwich for later. It was huge.
kb - Yes...I have seen the Stouffer's one too, that baz posted.

Yep. Grew up having creamed chipped beef on toast. My dad was a butcher for a bit. We had lots of meat, including salt pork on Sundays.
Lisa... Poutine is the name of the dish. Mine will be leftover crispy fries, leftover pork butt, shredded cheese, melted Cheese Whiz. Ranch for dipping. Oink.
I noticed Cub had a special... Bogo on Lucky Charms (for Camper) and $10 off a $100 order. So, I moved our order from next Friday back to today. Camper picked it up. ( We have a larger order every two weeks).

Hi Og :)
Hi Eburg :)
Lani - Hope Mike's favorite team is winning! I am not into corned beef and neither is my hubby, so we might grill chicken for our dinner! Sorry to Mike is dealing with lower Back discomfort again. I sure hope he can get a shot soon - especially before he goes to Utah.
Phyl - Like your St. Patrick's stuff and great links & info. ;D
Clynn - Something tells me that Harley wasn't too receptive to meet S&S? I know you are being cautious. :) Hope it went okay. :)
Tsk - Our Grandson is playing R-field! Enjoy your great niece at the ice review!!! Sounds exciting!! ;D ;D
Hi Tig :)
Hi Puff, Karen & Baz :)
Lori - Cute St. Pat's Day stuff!!
Kb - Enjoy your 'Chipped Beef' if you find it at the store. :)
LisaG - The Reuben looks yummy!!
Beakers have a nice day!!

thanks baz - hmm, I'll have to check all areas for chipped beef locally.
I am looking forward to an old familiar taste for sure.
KB, if you decide look for the chipped beef in the jar, or in a can, it is usually on the grocery store aisle that has "Canned Meat" listed overhead - where you find things like canned chicken, tuna, ham, deviled ham, Spam, etc...
E4E, grilled chicken sounds yummy, and you have nice weather for it! :)
OG, I wonder if you had cards last night... hope you won! :)
BL, wow on swimming in "The Teacups!" How deep was it? Did it feel extra "mineral-ly?"
Time to see about my cabbage, carrots, and pastrami & swiss sliders. Then I will watch the CBS NCAA Basketball Brackets show on TV.
Have a good night, All. Peace. SED.

We have let Harley up 3 times today, twice yesterday. Each time he stays a little longer and although still hissing, it's not a MEAN hiss. Sam and Sophie have both gone right up to him. So far he has backed off. I think it will get a little better each day, and even better when whey can go on the deck. I may give him a bit of the gabapentin tomorrow just to relax him some. He has always been a very wary cat, jumps at everything, scared of everything! This is one of Sophie's favorite toys, a metal mesh waste basket. She has been playing with it for 20+ minutes! Her green spring toy is inside the wastebasket...
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ec/53/b1/ec53b1a130f7bcf4f7051674354aad00.jpg)
kb, we always called the chipped beef on toast S.O.S. (S**t on a Shingle). I remember it was one of the regular meals back in the old days! Our grocery store has it, check by the tuna fish, top shelf.
E4E, I love grilled chicken, I always have Ed cook extra so I have some for my salads! We are waiting until Tuesday for our salmon and asparagus, it's too cold today. 38 last time I looked.
baz, Peace, Love Luck! Perfect! Your sliders sound good! Thank you for the Beatles!
Lisa, that reuben looks so good! I would get it on sourdough bread though, don't care for rye... Love sauerkraut! YUM!
tig, seems I remember having roast beef on Sundays! But we had SOS at least once a month, along with meatloaf, tuna noodle casserole, goulash, fried chicken...all the food Mom's used to cook!
Lani, oh no on Mike's back! I will cross my fingers and pray that he can get a shot with no complications!
Lori, good to see you, with all the goodies and puppies and kitties!
tsk, I see you are having a colder day today too! The Harley,Sam/Sophie story goes on...

Clynn... !!! Yes! I remember S.O.S. Dad was a staff Sergeant in the Army. Mom cooked very balanced nutritious meals all week. She worked 6 hr. days and walked the 3.5 miles to work as we only had one car (we were able to afford a second car some years later). She never sat down at night... always baking, cooking, cleaning, etc. On Sundays we would have a large brunch after church. Sunday nights were Mom's night to relax. We had grilled cheese sammies and soup, or something else easy. Then, she sat and watched Disney's The Wonderful World of Color, Ed Sullivan, etc.

OG no good news for Grindavik--awesome videos, tks
BL swimming in a 'tea cup' waterfall---that's a trick LOL I got it ;)
CLynn that's a-popular St. Pat's Day arrangement; tks for sharing Karen's petunia s and azalais , looks like a nice neighborhood. Ahhhh Harley poor fella. . :-*
Tsk I know some cute knitted top hat for puss. Brrr! day for you, Tim and Miss Lulu. Do enjoy your niece's skating performance. Snaps?
Tig flaky white stuff for you today also---Brrr! Tks for the Irish music honoring the day.
Lisa very nice St Pat's for today; We're having Rubens for dinner w/a brew each and green salad of romaine, spinach and kale w/ tommy-toes all
dressed in Ranch. Dessert- Grasshopper Pie w/ Reddi Whipp (whatelse?)
Lani One day I'll have that telescope--- Outer Space is all there is...endless dark void with floating masses of matter, so compressed they're all but impenetrable. An infinity dotted with gaseous clouds and fiery planets as if burning beacons to light the way. ;) :)
(((Puff))) I hear ya.
Lori nice St Pat's greeting. Tks
Lani sorry to hear about your Mike/back...I personally know, 'ain't no fun. No Robo Vac here---they need to be perfected. IMHO If memory serves, been ages ago, I think Godiva got one when they first came out. Although, fat lotta good that does :(
KB touching Ellie video
Eagles cute leprechaun today . LOL I'm left wondering why I only have Rubens on March 17TH As I just love them. ::)
My little Missy's awake---time for chow.

LANI So sorry to hear about Mike's back again. And agree. Sure hope he won't have to go through all the testing/ins. approval again either. Missed the bracket of course - Will need to find that on-line.
PUFF Well I've been getting notice that my PC will not support 11 so I am happy with that. Seems I just got 10 ::) ::) Interesting project to research - the difference in the two breads.
TIG Have never had a poutine ;) ???
LORI You find the cutest celebratory pets ;D ;D AND desserts
BAZI Thanks for the time of bracket announcing - just hit record but some is over already..Will catch later.
KB Mom used to make us chipped beef on toast all the time!!! Aww sweet elie giving the "machinery" a thank you. ;D
LISA Love the bread on that Reuben
CLYNN I have weeks to go before my azaleas look like KAREN's
T40 Missed you this weekend ;) ;)
PHYL Great niece in 3 numbers - has improved greatly since last saw her ice review. Wore my parka but was still freezing.

Good evening Beakers! Hope all had a great day celebrating St, Paddys Day! Great posts on it and cute pictures!
Clynn, thanks for posting my blooming things! Petunias have been outside since Fall. Yes, Sos! also made with hamburger! Had it at times as well as a kid. I have had the Stouffers Frozen kind and although most of the stuff they make is good quality this is poor value. Jmo. If you need a Reuben fix some time, Arbys does a decent job. I have never thought of dried chipped beef as being the same as corned beef. Tge latter is brisket which is brined, looks like a roast!
Pleasant humid day in the low 80’s With high humidity. Heavy rain and a col down to toe 60-70 degree level for the week!
E23 was showered with fish, etc on his fledge day , still home But a feisty one.
I sympathize with Mike and his back! Have to call for a shot myself!
Take care and seds

{{{Puff}}} great to see your post! I'm sorry you're having trouble with your new computer. I hope you have a good Sunday. :-*
Kb, wonderful ellie rescue.... We love chip beef on toast. Mike had it in the Navy, and of course, my stepfather made it for us too. I have a Hormel Dried beef in a jar in the refrig now, there's about a third left for another meal. You can get it in the Deli or Canned Beef aisle of Safeway, Walmart, Basha's... I see Baz posted to you too, as well as others.
Lori, love your St. Pat's posts! :-*
Baz, Yummy sliders! I hope you have good night after seeing your Tarheels are #1seed.
Lisa, yummy Reuben! ;D
Eagles, wishing your grandson good luck! Baseball season is right around the corner. Chicken sounds perfect!
Clynn, Karen's azaleas and petunias are gorgeous! Glad to hear Harley and the kittens are spending more and more time with each other... wonderful video of Bride and Bridesmaid!
Tig, I enjoy your stories of your childhood and parents.
Phyl, thanks for replying to my robo vac question. I know they've improved the machine. I was just curious. The couple are reading all the online comments.... yummy dinner.
Karen, your Petunias are gorgeous especially through the late fall and winter months.
Good night!

Good cards, Old Guy!
E23 survived an owl strike. The report was not clear as to if it was Saturday or Sunday night. At any rate, his practice flights to and from all the branches of the nest tree paid off as he Flew throughout the tree to escape! Smart boy!
Off for a cuppa coffee and a few kks that I stole from Lori. Yesterday! So good! Thanks.

Phyl, awww, sorry for the Sauces nest... Do you think they are done laying? Didn't Audi lay 7 eggs a couple of years ago? Jackie and Shadow at Big Bear are having problems too, none of their 3 eggs hatched... 20 here right now, high 41 today. Lots of Sandhill cranes heading North! Mother and Father Goose are sound asleep! Good at Two Harbors!
oldguy, great video of Grandma cooking in the iron skillet! Good night for cards! It looks like it is getting worse again in Iceland... Maru...
Lani, I can tell that you are getting excited for the basketball games! Is Mike able to take a few days off work, ya know, like vacation days? I don't know anyone who has a Robo vac. Have just seen videos of cats riding on them...LOLOL! I wonder if they have a guarantee that you will like or get your $ back.

High today 37 degrees
BAZI Only caught the last two brackets but see that your Tarheels are #1 No pressure there LOL
KAREN My azalea is just now getting the tiniest sign of life ;) ;) Those gosh darn owls - E23 will get the hang of dodging them.
OLDGUY LOLOL Loved the cook and " well I'll just throw another stick of butter in" LOLOL Looked great but would not have done the chicken - That beef and onions and cabbage was way more than a side dish . One good thing about the lava flow should it reach the south road is that the fiber optic cable may be buried far enough not to be disturbed. Hope it doesn't get to that. The maps are really good - I like to visualize LOL OG Ace card player and the luck of the Irish!!
PHYL I have Nolly recorded as well as the other new one that comes after it. I'll get to it sooner or later. ::) ::) That throat patch would be revolutionary. I would love to see one work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA

After staring at this screech owl, I'm still not sure I'm outlining it correctly visually...
Happy Bird Day, Lisa - any plans for today?
Having a sleep number guy come out this am to check on Chris' bed...It was pre pay though Chris thinks he fixed 1/2 of his issues earlier today...oh well we shall see.
Our precip (Snow) predicted totals starting Sunday on my app keep going up and are literally scaring me!
Over 15 inches over a few days!
I'm not sure we've had that much all season so far. I sure do hope they are as wrong at predicting weather as they have been. ;) Though I haven't used my snowblower to date and got it ready to go down to the shop. Now I'll try to finagle both mower and snowblower together in the garage some how in case.
Please be wrong. Please be wrong. I'll get prepared closer to the time if need be.

Interesting study:
https://www.wionews.com/science/handwriting-not-typing-linked-to-better-learning-and-memory-study-701096
So previously it was determined cursive writing was better for memory than printing.
Now any type of handwriting is better than typing.
I wonder how much our young students are losing out because they gave up teaching cursive for the most part and then they switch to typing altogether....can't be good!
-
Happy Birthday Lisa! Do celebrate in style!
I keep thinking that is pure luck that precious M has not been killed by a car, getting provisions for his family! He must be irish!
It is my understanding that cursive is nack in many places!

That cake uses cherries, so it has to be diabetic approved...
Cherries are a healthy fruit that people living with diabetes can safely consume as part of a healthy eating plan. Cherries are a low GI fruit, which can help people to regulate their blood sugar levels more effectively. Cherries are also rich in recommended nutrients for diabetes, such as vitamin C and fiber. Jul 19, 2023
How many cherries can a diabetic eat per day?
Healthy sources of dietary carbs include nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans. Cherries are an option, but it's important to monitor your portion size. According to The British Diabetic Association, a small portion is 14 cherries (about the same as 2 kiwi fruit, 7 strawberries, or 3 apricots).
;) ;D

Happy birthday Lisa! May all your wishes come true! :-*

Tig, have fun! :)
Lisa, I ended up not getting a reuben. I decided to wait until Mike was better. Enjoy your birthday lunch and day with Jeff! :-*
Kb, that owl is camouflaged so well. My penmanship isn't as nice as it once was... sign of typing too much. LOL! But, my daily notes, cards, grocery lists, etc., are by hand.
Clynn, Mike doesn't use his vacation days. He's decided to leave for Utah this week. He's going to schedule his shot, then drive to Gila Bend, stay a couple of days, pick up an employee to go with him to Utah. He's thinking about driving there. We don't take vacations. I can't remember the last time we took a trip other than to go with Aly to Santa Fe and watch her graduate.... Oh my gosh, I pray SWFL can get people to help remove roadkill. We can't lose M15 or any of the eagles. :'( ... sweet Boo :-*
Phyl, Thanks for a JB classic nature video.... amazing Science break through for those with vocal cord problems. That's sad about Sauces nest.... Thanks for the SWFL video.
Oldguy, Congrats on your great cards! 8) .... I am shocked at how close the people are standing near the lava flow. I can't believe that is allowed. ... Maru :-*
Karen, Darn those GHOs! Here is the video from Lady Hawk.
SWFL Eagles ~ OWL STRIKES & KNOCKS E23 OFF ATTIC! E23 FLIES LOW TOWARDS FRONT PASTURE! 3.17.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8ytev_np1c
Mar 16, 2024 #southwestfloridaeaglecam #SWFEC #baldeagles
UPDATE March 17th 2024 ~ This morning we could see that E23 in a snag tree close to the nest. At 08:56 E23 flew to the church side snag! Amazing to see E23 flying just fine after such a scary evening! E23 made it back to the nest at 09:27:28. Indeed E23 is a true warrior eagle and has just proved how much determination and courage it has!
UPDATE: E23 HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN A TREE AND APPEARS TO BE FINE. ♥♥ You can see E23 flap and stretch its wings out at 02:17:14 on the livestream Pond Cam. Please do not go to the nest and spook E23. This is a critical time for the young fledgling after just getting hit by an owl. E23 will make it back to the nest tree in the morning.
At 00:52:05, a Great Horned Owl struck E23 from the front & knocked E23 backwards off the attic branch. E23 went down and the owl landed on the other nest tree branch and watched E23 falling and went after in the same direction. From the pond cam, we can see E23 falling and going down but was able to fly to the west (right) very low. It appeared that E23 landed in a tree and missed the branch and went down to the ground close to the road. A few seconds later it looks like E23 tried flying again. At 00:52:57 it looks like possibly the owl went in that same vicinity, crossing the road and then back to the tree.
This is all we know at this time. I have notified SWFEC and they will be taking the appropriate measures to locate and make sure E23 is okay. Please do not go to the nest and possibly cause E23 to be even more spooked. I will update everyone as soon as I know something. Prayers for E23 to be okay and not be injured by this owl strike. As soon as it is light out, our local crew will at the nest to look for E23. Thank you for watching!

Ran across this band this week. They are from Ontario Canada. The group name is "Walk off the Earth". The band gained an international following in 2012 with their cover of the Gotye song “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which the five band members performed simultaneously on one guitar. The female lead vocalist is Sarah Blackwood and she is married to Gianni “Luminati” Nicassio (guitar/drummer). They have 3 sons currently 10,8, and 6. The boys perform as the "Luminati Suns" either alone or with the band. In 2023 the boys won the Juno Award for Children's Album of the Year — Romeo Eats Vol. 2. The original songs performed by the band and kids are composed by Sarah.
This is a performance from November '23 - The boys do their song at 34 minutes and it is followed by the band doing their song that made them famous - 4 people playing 1 guitar...

I'm so glad to hear the update on E23 being okay this morning after that scary owl strike, and glad to know that Mighty M15 is okay after almost being hit by a car while he was getting roadkill. Thanks to All for those updates! :-* :-*
Lani, pretty Lily gif for Lisa's b'day! Fingers crossed that Mike will get a shot for his back very soon! Isn't Kansas playing its 1st round NCAA game in Utah? Maybe Mike can snag a ticket if he will be within driving distance?? I need to print the NCAA Tourney bracket so I can give it a better look. I didn't see a story link with your TRR pics - I'm guessing that's a Toucan chick... awwww... so sweet... takes me back to when I raised my previous parrot, Sweet Pea, from a featherless chick - all the many formula handfeedings by pipette and syringe... I hope the Toucan chick grows up strong and healthy! Sweet pic of the baby sloth! :-* :-*
Karen, your blooming yard of azaleas and the front porch petunias are so pretty! I hope you can get a shot for your back pain again soon. Yep, dried chipped beef and corned beef are two entirely different things. But the dried beef is used in the creamed chipped beef dishes that I have always seen, or eaten. Did you have your grocery service take back the wrong order and bring you the correct one? It sounded like you had gotten someone else's order by mistake. If that's what happened, they're supposed to fix that at no charge, if you let them know.
Clynn, thanks for posting Karen's pics! LOL on cute, playful Sophie being self-entertained with her green spring in a "cage." ;) :D It sounds like the Harley & The Kittens (sounds like a band) scenario is going pretty well so far! I agree with you - maybe it will go even better when they can go out on the deck together, and all get distracted by your backyard nature, instead of concentrating on each other so much. All good things in time. :) :-* :-* :-* I really like that Paul McCartney song I posted yesterday... it is an upbeat, toe-tapping, "Let's Dance!" kind of song for me... yeah, it sounds so much like The Beatles, though it is post-Beatles - by McCartney, with his band, Wings. Oh, good, it sounds like the weather will be better for cooking your yummy salmon and asparagus dinner in a day or two.
Phyl, I have seen that kids are getting taught cursive handwriting again in many schools. My "greats" are learning it in their schools.
OG, YAYAY on your 3-out-of-3 wins at cards this weekend! Fun!! :D
KB, Spring snows... what'r'ya gonna do? ::) Hopefully you won't get as much accumulation as you mentioned. Who knows if the forecast will be correct. I think the weather forecasters have been just as flummoxed trying to interpret the surprising climate changes for weather forecasts as we have been by those forecasts! The weather forecasting models will take time to catch up to the changing surprises in the climatology. Meanwhile, I'm depending a lot these days on the "Rock" forecasting model... you know, look out your window at the rock in your yard... if it's wet, it's raining; if it's white, it's snowing; if it's gone, it's very windy! ;D ;D ;)
TSK, I had wondered if your great niece's Ice Skating Review was outside... sounds like maybe it was, since your parka wasn't quite warm enough? What age group does she skate with? I love ice skating and ice dance... I can't even stand up on ice skates anymore, like I could as a kid... my ankles aren't strong enough now, and that's a good thing, because I can't imagine what kinds of bumps and bruises I would have within my first 5 minutes on the ice. ;) :D That's great you live close enough to enjoy both of your greats performances - theatre, and ice skating. :) Enjoy your lunch with your smaller girl group today - and I hope the others will all be improving quickly. :-*
Tig, have fun celebrating the family birthdays at lunch today!
Hi Lori! Those strawberry basil macarons you sent to Lisa are so pretty! :)
Hi E4E! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LISA!!! Enjoy your fun and special lunch out with Jeff! :D

Happy Birthday LisaG !
I hope you have a flapping good time on your day. ;D

Love the cakes you got here, Lisa! Had the piece Old Guy cut for you! Delicious. The cakefrom Baz is too pretty to cut and the eagle, shamrock , chocolate
Cake from Bl needs to be preserved! A real work of art!
Baz, I got one thing from another order which she caught. One of my items evidently went to that order. Replacements were bad! I did get a refund for those items! Got and paid for 2 heads of cabbage, not one.
E23 took a flight around the west pasture and back to the nest this afternoon! He better watch that gho! Damn them! They can find some other food!
Soring has sprung here but happy the calendar has caught up!

OLDGUY YAY You did the research and we can all enjoy this healthy cake. I even learned something LOL :-* :-*
LANI Beautiful flower greeting for LISA Those babies are so cute esp the little guy trying to stand in the dish. Busy week for Mike so he can get back for the start of the NCAA games. ;) ;)
OLDGUY All playing the same guitar - interesting.
BAZI Love your seasonal change pieces ;D " summer is hotter" LOL I bet that was something raising a featherless chick - Lots of time devoted to that. Rock weather predictor LOLOL The ice rink is indoors but they keep it very cold. Don't know how those skaters do it. There are many different groupings at this park district. She is with kids of comparable skills and age. Her Mom tells me she will be is a different group next year. You age out as a senior in high school.

Good Afternoon Beakers
Jeff took me out to lunch at a restaurant that we have never been before named Julep. It was delicious. We both got Cream of Crab & Sweet Corn soup, and shared the Southern Eggrolls. I got the Chicken Fried Steak entree, and Jeff got the Old Bay Chicken Wings with a side of Brussels sprouts with candied pecans, bacon and goat cheese. Here is a link to the menu. https://www.julepannapolis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/JulepFood9-2022Web.pdf
BL - Having a great day! Just watched Mother Goose lay her 6th egg.
baz - Thank you!
Phyl - Thank you!
oldguy - Thanks for the video. Thanks for the info on cherries.
Lani - Oh my goodness, the baby bird in the first pic! Thanks for the SWFL video and recap. Aww, you are sweet to wait till Mike feels better. I would do that same.
tsk - LOL, I think that oldguy's cake was too. ;) I told Jeff, aww, no birthday cake. I guess I will eat a Lil Debbie snack cake. ::) It was windy here today, making it cold.
tig - Thank you!
Lori - The Strawberry Basil Macaroons looks delicious!
clynn - Thank you!

LISA I might have tried the Julep chili!!! Lots of brisket served. Did you get to Home Goods??

CLynn creative use of a tree stump; Boo makes me miss Momo all the more. :'( :-* Thanks for Barb Henry photo of SWFL mom/dad; pretty flowers for Lisa.
Harley?
Tsk My azaleas have been in " azalea heaven' and are getting dug up when we actually have Spring weather ! Nice roses for Lisa
KB spotted the screech owl ---they're perfectly camouflaged ; Great study on lack of cursive writing or any handwriting. Gotta be that connection made
to the brain..."form patterns of electrical activity, which has been linked with forming memories." Thanks for sharing. The only typing I do is in forum and on final copies of my novel---I did the story outline and various note by hand with a pencil, written in spiral notebooks .
Bazi it was KB who posted about the cursive penmanship in schools and such. Won't be the first day of Spring here...
Lisa pretty tulips this AM---sounds like a very nice lunch with an eclectic menu although I'd have to have fried green tomatoes and ketchup at least; tks for egglet update for Mother Goose ;)
OG that's some decadent cake ;)
Lori very pretty birthday greetings for Lisa---macaroons too.
Tig hope y'all have a nice dinner out.
Lani thanks for Toucan Ranch updates on newborn toucans and infant sloths; good luck to Mike
BL nice eagle cake for Lisa

Baz. You asked if the weather was warming up. It sure was…in the past tense. Today we got to almost 16C. It was a record of sorts. It is the earliest that the temperature has reached 15C degrees for the first time. It is usually April 11 on average before we see it that warm. But Environment Canada has a treat in store for us. Here is a screen cap of our 7 day forecast in Celsius and Fahrenheit. It was nice while it lasted.

Clynn - Wow! That's been a huge step with bringing Harley & the 'kittens' together!! I have a hunch it will get a little tiny bit better each day! :) Liked the vid of the Irish Step Dance!! ;D Thank you for posting Karen's Petunias and Azaleas! Very pretty!
Tig - I know you were talking to Clynn, but love the story of your hard working Mom and how life and your meals were back then. She sure was a dedicated Mother - bless her sweet heart. Thank you for sharing a part of her story. :-*
Tsk - Glad you enjoyed watching your Great Niece, but too bad you were still chilled. Maybe take a lap blanket next time! :) No fun to be cold! My hubby was cold the whole time we were at our Grandson's baseball game on Saturday. The sun was out over here and he thought that the Park we were going to for the game (40 min. away) was going to be warmer than here, so he didn't take a jacket - just wore a short sleeve shirt! I took a hoodie and was glad I did!
Karen - Your Petunias and Azaleas are beautiful!! I'm so glad E23 survived the Owl attack and stayed safe!!
Lani - Thank you and yes, our Grandson's season just began during the past week. :) TRR; so sweet and precious. Thanks for posting detail of E23 - prayers that he is really okay and that he stays safe and no more attacks.
OG - You are quite the card player!! Congrats!! ;D Yummy birthday cake for Lisa!
Phyl - Awe, I'm so sad and sorry for Jak & Audi. The nest picture is so very sad. :'( :'(
Kb - Hope the weather doesn't get too extreme for you!
LisaG - Glad to know that Jeff took you out to lunch!! I'm sure you had a wonderful day!!
Lori - Delicious birthday treat for Lisa!! Looks so yummy, that I can just taste it!!
Tig - Hope you all enjoyed dinner!!
Tsk - Glad you had a fun lunch date with your friends, although too bad that 3 were not able to make it. Hopefully everyone can make it next time! :)
Hi Baz!
Beakers have a good night. :)

Oh Emy! Those temps for this week...soooooooooooo cold . Gosh this gal from
California's Mojave Desert just couldn't manage. Wishing your warmer weather, soon.
Eagles Jak and Audi have been thru worse---there was a season a few years back where
she laid 7 eggs and all had shells that were too 'soft' and broke from the weight of incubation
from either parent. #7 's shell was solid enough. Nest watchers and chat call it ---him 'Lucky 7. As we all just
knew it was a male . But had no life inside.
For years the state of California had dumped DDT in that area prior to the release of this young pair.
Two of their nests successes were Dina in 2021 and Anthony a couple of years later ,if
memory serves.
Dina was never banded. And that literally broke my heart ---Dr. Sharpe didn't want to track her.
She was a big gal--half again the size of her mama---fearless
and powerful. And, above all, our miracle eagle !!! She should have been banded
I miss her all the time---not a day goes by... That bald eagle captured my heart, forever. I doubt I'd recognize
her now days. Be well miss Dina. Please be well. :-* :-* :-*

Dina, she was our adventurer and would take off for days then return to hang with her parents. All of us hoped she'd
stay near by and be a part. But made one last return to say farewell. :'( :'( :'(

There have none since that compare---not even our funny Anthony.

Oldguy, great band.
Lori, yummy birthday macarons for Lisa.
Baz, I'm trying to find out more about the two chicks at TRR.... I couldn't tell if its a parrot or Toucan. They rescue parrots as well. It's a cute little baby, very strong.... Mike isn't going to get a shot. He was told if he gets one now, the next time they will suggest surgery. Mike doesn't want to do that, neither did the surgeon. So, there it is :-\ .. He leaves in the morning for Gila Bend... how special it must have been to raise a baby parrot. Love the name Sweet Pea... beautiful birthday cake for Lisa.
BL, love the eagle birthday cake for Lisa.
Lisa, Julep's menu has my mouth salivating! The crab and corn soup sounds delicious, I might have tried the Julep chili too. Oh YUM! If I was forced to eat brussel sprouts that's the way I would want them. Cover them with bacon, candied pecans, goat cheese to hide the flavor of the brussel sprouts! YUM! Great birthday lunch! I hope you had a lovely day. :-*
Emy, brrrr cold days ahead.
SED Eagles, Tsk, Karen :-*
Phyl, thanks for Sauces family story. :'(
Good night!

Lani, oh no about the shot for Mike! I remember when Ed had his first and second shot, the Dr told him 3 was all he would do, surgery after that. He has had a couple more after those 3, different Dr, but none have helped much and he won't have surgery either. Hence he is on the strong pain meds. Which I hate... Oh, I love Brussels Sprouts, especially roasted in the oven! Oh those fat little good night puppies!
Phyl, do you think Audi is done laying eggs for this season? Great pics in Amy's Blog, especially Mrs. North rolling her eggs... Pretty frost in the 365! Oh my, we will be much warmer than you today, that's unusual! But we both will have sun!
E4E, the Harley/Sam/Sophie update below! I am sure you are ready for your Grandson's baseball games! It would be so nice to be able to sit outside! Spring is here!
We had more 'get together' sessions with Harley and the kittens today! Harley is getting better, the last time he left the security of the basement door close by, he walked all around the family room with Sam and Sophie checking him out. Still some hissing, but not as much. Sophie was even trying to play with his tail! I don't think it will be long until the basement door can stay open.
Lisa, hope you had a wonderful birthday! The menu looks great, I think I would choose the Southern Fish and Chips! With a side of the Brussels Sprouts! What, no desert? Yay, six eggs for the Goose Family!
Emy, brrrr!
baz, love all the GOODBYE winter! It's Spring! I am so ready to invite the neighbors over for a Friday evening chat time on the deck! Our high today is supposed to be 63, so I think the salmon will go on the grill!
tsk, hope your get together was good, even though some are missing!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
High today 54 and sunny
EMY A veritable heat wave. :o Were you below snow levels this year?
LANI Based on what you said about Mike today and not wanting to go the route of more powerful pain meds, you may want to investigate this non invasive option. Back when I was working we used these and they are so much more developed today.
Mike would have nothing to lose and maybe could discuss with his doctor. Have a PT get him started and he could then use on his own? https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/15840-transcutaneous-electrical-nerve-stimulation-tens

Just darling...
Happy Tuesday all.
Thursday snow total predictions, 2.5 inches.....tolerable.
Sunday: 8.8 in just a 24 hour period....followed by 3 plus inches day after and more after that.
Don't know how 8.8 inches is even possible in 24 hours?..oh I suppose. ;)

Interesting story of today's economics of Girl Scout cookies....not the same as in our childhood.
Yes, I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout.....and have a friend who was a VP at Target who moved to being a top Girl Scout VP...
That is mostly all I see on my community fb page lately....it gets tiresome for me, and yes I know all the value of supporting these girls, etc..
tig - just read your post...I don't blame him or all the rest retiring earlier than they had planned.
Minneapolis cops are not supported and they are still down by 50 percent or more. Crazy.

The thing that got me about the weather was the sudden drop in temperature from 16 (60F) at 6 pm last night to -1 (30 F) at 6 am this morning. That’s a lot of a drop in 12 hours. It’s hard on the system and the landscaping. I handle 21 just fine, 20 is getting drafty and 22 makes me think of turning on the A/C.
And Tsk, no worries about where to put the snow this year. We had a good dump of it a couple of weeks ago. Other than that only a few skiffs of it now and then. We are in a prolonged drought here. Calgary is already warning of a water shortage this spring and it is not a lot better here. Wildfire season started nearly a month early, although I would suggest it never ended with an average of 60 fires burning over the winter. You, my friends to the south, will be noticing as soon as the weather warms up.

Good Morning Beakers...Happy Spring!!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/04/ce/bf/04cebfc1f899db6e7e197dc75b42e5d3.jpg)
Just wanted to say, thanks for all of the birthday wishes and cakes. I appreciate each and every one of them. :-*
tsk - Cute first day of Spring pic. We are 29° and windy today, does not feel like Spring. ;D Yes, we went to Home Goods, and some lady was coughing her head off in there and Jeff is like...OMG if we don't catch what she has! ;D ;D
clynn - Love the Spring peace wreath. So glad to hear about the "get together" sessions.
We are definitely going go back to that restaurant at some point. The menu had some really good dishes.
Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and RRP blog. Cute owl figurine! I thought about getting the fried green tomatoes. :D
Lani - The lady at two tables over had the chili, and it smelled delicious! Adorable good night pic.
E4E - Thank you :-*
kb, tig, Emy and all - Morning!

Thursday snow total predictions, 2.5 inches.....tolerable.
Sunday: 8.8 in just a 24 hour period....followed by 3 plus inches day after and more after that.
Don't know how 8.8 inches is even possible in 24 hours?..oh I suppose. ;)
kb I was just noticing the Spring snow forecast for MSP over the next week. ::)
MSP is at 14.3 inches so far for this season.
The normal average for the season is 54 inches at MSP.
Looks like you'll be adding something to the 2023/2024 season, but I'm a bit skeptical about the amounts the Models are spitting out this far in advance.
Good thing you got your lawn mowers all revved up and ready to go ay'. ;)
-
KB What a great story about the wounded deer. :) Still hoping for you that most of that snow will not materialize. Fascinating article on Girl Scout Cookies ( badges as well). I'm glad I did the Brownie/ GS thing when I did. :o No cookie has ever been as good as the first GS sugar cookie - 50 cents a box and you got a lot of them.
TIG Enjoy spa day ;D Good that your niece can make some changes to her health issues and YES, hope her hubby doesn't take much longer to retire!!
EMY Such a balance is required of Mother Nature. We had many of those roller coaster drops ion temps as well - 70 during the day falling to 30's at night and then back up. Crazy year.
LISA Don't you wish those folks would just wear a mask in public ::) ::)

Royal Albatross - Ranger Sharyn posts
Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)
Top Flat chick is 56 days old and weighs 3.45 kg. This is a big drop from the massive 5 kg last week but is still up from the week prior which was 3.3kg. Top Flat chick was last fed by LGL on the 14th of March. LGK was last in on the 13th of March. A reweigh may be necessary later in the week if no further feeding is sighted here.
Top Flat Track chick is 48 days old and weighs 3.05 kg. This is down slightly from last week’s 3.2 kg but both parents have been in regularly here. Weighing at both nests was around 10.45am this morning. BOK arrived at Top Flat Track just over an hour later.
Both chicks are well into post-guard stage life now and have very thick down that keeps them warm and dry in stormy weather. Full tummies keep the chicks warm as well.
A technical note:
Our current webcam, supplied by Cornell Lab of Ornithology in 2019, the Axis P5635-E MkII PTZ, is being replaced by an Axis P5676-LE PTZ cam. This one has an inbuilt night light system so will be more streamlined that the first Axis model that became the Royalcam and is now in transit to Dunedin. We hope to have the new cam installed in a few weeks and the live stream will be off-line while the change is being made. It will be great to have the night viewing back now the days are getting shorter.
TF (Top Flat) chick on left - TFT (Top Flat Track) chick on right - both are in alert as weigh station rangers are coming.

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Lisa, I watched Mother Goose last night. Hubby was with her for awhile. He was very protective. I loved how he turned to look at her and said something. It looked like he said. "I'm going now dear, but I'll be watching you." She's such a sweet thing, moving around bits and pieces of feathers/sticks tucking the eggs in.
{{{Emy}}}
Tig, {{{prayers niece and nephew}}}
Kb, {{{rescued fawn and rescuer}}} ... we had half inch of a hail storm late yesterday afternoon. 30 minutes of pea size hail storm, gave everything another good soak... Girl Scout cookies just don't taste the same anymore. We bought boxes until we moved here. It's hard to find someone selling them.
Clynn, Mike is limited on how often he can take pain killers such as aleve. He's on blood thinner med, as well as something else that limits any pain meds. He's left for Gila Bend this morning and will be back on Friday or he may drive on to Utah. There's a problem he needs to deal with asap pertaining to GB office and trucking company in Utah... awww soon Harley will be a big bro to his siblings, busy playing with them and acting like a kitten too. Sophie is ready for playtime with big bro. :-* ... gorgeous pick of Bryce Canyon.
Phyl, Love the owl..... beautiful frosty nature video. Run and hide little rabbit.... Thank you for today's RRP update on The North family and Goose... I watched Mother and Father Goose last night, he left after a while. It was a very windy night for Mrs. Goose. She moved around several times trying to get comfortable on her six eggs.... very interesting Live Science article.
Tsk, Mike has completed allowed PT a year ago. Insurance or medicare will not pay for any more sessions unless he has surgery. PT sessions without coverage costs $185 per session. Interesting about TENS. thanks :-*
TFT got startled (and so did I!) when the Virgin Liner it blasted its horn while passing by.

Lani, ugh on ((Mike)) having to tough it out with his back pain. Maybe he'll book an appt with another doc for a 2nd opinion? It was fun raising Sweet Pea from a little chick - handfeeding her formula, and then teaching her to eat solid food eventully, learning to perch, flap, and eventually fly... all the milestones baby birds go through from hatch to adult. She was a Quaker Parrot, also called a Monk Parakeet or Monk Parrot - the same kind Oldguy and a few others were mentioning a couple of days ago in The Beak. Sweet Pea was domestically bred in the USA, as were her parents, but there are some feral colonies in the USA, who are offspring originally from escapes. Not all of those feral colonies have survived. I remember seeing them in pairs in the tall Palm Trees along the edge of the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, back around 2003 0r 2004, when I was vacationing there during Spring Training days for the Baltimore Orioles baseball team. They were so cute way up in the trees, just chattering away and watching the world, the ocean, the sands, and the beach life, go by. Sweet Pea lived till May, 2015, and she was 22 years old, having hatched on Feb. 10, 1993. I started taking care of her when she was only 2 weeks old, and she came home with me fulltime just a few weeks after that, when she was maybe only 5 weeks old. I still miss her, and whistling the theme to The Andy Griffith Show with her, LOL - it was her favorite song, and I would play it for her often because it made her so happy!! :D :-* :-* :-*

LOL, laughed out loud for sure!
Joke is on me!.
Still trying to think about where to store my snowblower and lawn mower before it hits....
Mower in garage ,single car garage and big SUV, and snowblower now on side of house...
Never before have fit both in the garage at the same time.
Somehow on Friday I'll figure it out.
Lani - both Chris and Scott have had and used tens units for years and years....very helpful in the short term.
-
Clynn, it sounds like Harley is getting more curious and comfortable being near Sam and Sophie! :) :-* :-* LOL on Parallelogram Season!! ;D
TSK, I can understand the indoor skating rink being kept pretty chilly. How was lunch with The Girls?
Lani, thanks for the Royal Albie report. I bet the new cam will be nice to have, especially with night viewing abilities. It's nice to know that the TF and TFT chicks will get supplemental feedings from the rangers if they need it. :-* :-* I wish the ships wouldn't blare their horns near the nesting areas, unless they really need to for safety reasons.
Phyl, I often read a lot of posts before I reply, so I don't always remember exactly who 1st mentioned a topic that several people have commented on. Sorry I mis-remembered that is wasn't you who mentioned the handwriting. That's too bad about your azaleas.
Lisa, that sounds like a yummy lunch you and Jeff had yesterday! Lots of good things on the menu - and with interesting tasty twists. Mmm! :)
Karen, glad your grocery order was only slightly amiss. Maybe you could give your extra cabbage to a neighbor. Glad you and Piper have been able to enjoy some porch time. :)
Tig, enjoy Spa Day! :)
KB, maybe they will be wrong on the total snow forecast for your area... it sounds like the forecast models are not in agreement. Fingers crossed.
BL. I sounds like some of the weather forecasters aren't completely sold on the total snow forecast for the MSP area either.
Puff, are things going better with your new computer/software yet?
Emyr, brrr!! Yes, that's a big swing in your temps! There have been some big swings here, also, but not as cold, of course, as where you are! :)
Pretty blue skies here today! Also much chillier temps and a north wind - as so many are experienceing... then it will be much warmer again tomorrow. Up and down, then up and down. :D
Later gators! :D

I forgot this in my post... for those following the NCAA Men's Division 1 Basketball Tournament... There are several versions from various sports news outlets, but this is one I liked.
NCAA Tournament, brackets, game schedules, and their TV channels and times, as known at the time, and it will update as the tournament progresses:
https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/ncaa-tournament/bracket/
It's interactive, so you can point an dclick for more info.

kb - The deer video made me LOL, and also reminded me the backyard critters. Pepe' bringing his family members and stinking up the place!
tsk - Yes, I do! I was trying to give her the benefit of doubt that maybe she had a tickle in her throat. This was no tickle. ;D
Lani - Aww, TFT getting startled by the cruise horn. ((Mike)) I have a TENS machine, and it has worked wonders on my neck. I think I might have told the story when Jeff first turned it on, he turned it up real high, and shocked the you know what out of my neck. ::)
baz - Thanks for sharing your pic and story about Sweet Pea.

Spa day postponed to Saturday... so we went to get my discounted bday sirloin steak at lunch. I brought half home and most of the browned potatoes and a turtle cheese cake slice. Camper dug out some sprouts of pear tree still trying to live from our old tree. He then headed out to go shopping. Hint. ;)

Jim is ill---again for the umpteenth time. ::) >:( He sounds like a train wreck when he coughs. I have him home masked and in bed --- sleeping at a 30degree angle. Lots of tea and chicken soup. And, yes he's forbidden to be in contact with Maggie--Feel like I ought to be wearing a string of garlic bulbs around my neck. LOL
He'll be seeing his PCP tomorrow afternoon.
The yard and landscaping are bit of a mess. Reluctantly I'll have to hire out some work . Our yard/garden aren't level---
with my BPPV there's just no way I can mow or much else with that steep slop to the willow and ribbon elms. Not gonna work the front either as my right knee
is acting up. So chilly and windy here.
CLynn awesome photo Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Tsk :)
KB what a sweet video. Love it. Tks. Also enjoyed the Girl Scout cookies v ideo; let's hope no more snow
Tig very understandable about your NIL retiring from the police department; prayers for your niece; dinner 'birthday clubs' are fun
Emy more wildfires for Canada :'( :'( the loss of wildlife alone ...such a delicate balance
Lisa :)
Lani tks for Royal Albie update---TFT startled by ship's horn, glad there's a new cam with better night vision ; (((Mike))) ; many thanks for mother/father goose news

EAGLES Liked your first day of Spring.
LANI Funny - " night viewing now that our days are getting shorter" ;) ;) That's true evidence they are on the other side of the world. Boy that is one huge cruise ship. Wish they'd get the word about maybe not sounding the horn in that area.
BAZI " I wet my plants" LOLOL Thanks for that photo and the history of Sweet Pea. I can see that is your niece as a child similar to adult pics we've seen. Lunch with girls always fun no matter how many can make it. We already planned the next one for when Barb is back from Florida and before Jean leaves on an Alaskan cruise with her dtr. in mid May. Jean lost her husband last June so coming up on a year for her. We will probably bring lunch to Maureen's house who just broke her tibia and had surgery. Good song to close out my day. ;)
I did print off a good bracket page but I like yours as it has the times. Thanks
TIG Cool that place has a Birthday club. Don't know many restaurants that do around here.
PHYL ( Hugs to Jim) You are a good nurse - the lawn will wait. Awww goodnight squirrel.

Phyl, good 365... Oh no, Jim! Do you think he is catching germs at work? I know, it stings when we have to hire someone to do things for us. When Ed or I couldn't mow, and Kay & Kelsey took it over it was good. But then Kay became unable to do it, that is when we bought a riding mower. Ed is able to mow with the rider, at least for a few more years.
Lani, another good Royal Alby update, such sweet birds! OMG, that cruise ship! Huge! I am going to have Ed ask his Dr. about a tens unit. His sister Gina has had one for years, she swears by it. I pray that one will work for Mike. Love the picture of Mother and Father Goose on N1!
E4E, Harley did good again today! he is becoming more and more used to the kittens, Sophie was playing with his tail and he didn't mind! He ventured way farther out into the family room yesterday, away from the 'safety' if the door to the basement!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a6/64/09/a66409d222f09cd6e39f8bb3f7bbdfd4.jpg)
BL, love your words on the teacups, they do look treacherous! The last pic really shows how they look up close! My sister Becky and her partner are avid hikers, kayakers, etc. Anything outdoors. They hiked around Montblanc a few years ago, I believe it was the 11-day hike they took, all around the mountain. They did a hike in Alaska that they had to train for and certify that they met the requirements required to do the hike. I can't remember the name of where the hike was, I think something to do with the Gold Rush. And thanks for the Peace Train, I saved it so I can listen again and again. Love Cat Stevens!
tsk, I think it is so cool that you have frequent get togethers with your girlfriends! I love getting together with Linda, Sally and Patty in July every year! The three of them get together more often, I am the one that lives kind of out of range! And I didn't grow up with them, just freshman and senior year in high school. But they took me in when we moved to Albion, and I love them all!
baz, wonderful story of Sweet Pea... I can see your GN in the picture of the kids! I remember contests at work where people brought in young pictures of themselves and everyone tried to guess who it was. I was never any good at it, unless it was obvious! How is Spring coming to the Bog? Lots of activity?
Lisa, wonder if Pepe will be checking out your place this year! Any activity on the trail cam?
The entrance to Carlsbad Caverns. More Than 119 Caves Are Hidden Beneath The New Mexico Desert.

Ha, Clynn...on one of our family drives when I was young from Minnesota to California (San Diego mostly) we stopped and hiked in the Carlsbad Caverns. I'll never forget the stalactites and stalagmites.
Morning all..
Have prep for storms on my to do list today...mostly food shopping.
and Ollie ears..LOL (related to twitter post yesterday)
My city is requesting photos of different categories..small little contest for fun and shits and giggles is all.
I have thought about sending one of my eagles on the water tower pictures. Hmm, those pics don't show the name of my city on them as it's too low on the tower. So, may not send a few. The name isn't required. We shall see.

Puff - Still trying to get use to your new PC?
karen - Morning :)
E4E - LOL
Lani - Beautiful pic of MG & FG in IR light.
tsk - We had that temp yesterday with wind, today we are at 52, slight breeze.
clynn - Love the pic of Sophie & Harley on floor. It sure seems like he is getting use to the kitties. Yep, lots of activity on trail cam still, plus more cats coming for food. I told Jeff, he will never move from here, cause he will be worried no one will feed these critters.
-
MY housekeeper just brought me a Culver's butter burger! Pretty good but a lot to eat! Pretty full and Piper liked it! She thought it was better than a frozen dinner!
Interesting that I always thought .spring started in March21st! Have to google this!
E 23 is stilled being stalked by the darn owl ! Sorry, they are interesting birds and some are very attractive but their predatory behavior against other avian creatures is disturbing! I blame them for Harriets disappearance! They also pick on the young! I wish the nest would be removed.
Have to start set one of 3. Bbl. Hope Jim is better!

Phyl, Just like today's nature video, Sadie and I heard an owl hoot early this am as we started our walk at 6... well, there you go out in the twilight zone.... I pray Jim is feeling better today.

tsk - yes a small gift card and a reproduction of photos on places in my city...
I did send one of my thousands of pics of the two of them (Mr. and Mrs. Tower). Contest closes May 1..
I don't care about the gift card, nor the reproduction of course.
Just wanting to call attention to our eagles.
My sis sent me a video and a pic of a pair of adult eagles up by her house this morning while walking Max. She knows the nest about a mile away. We commiserated on why both would be above her on her walk with Max when eggs are being incubated this time of year and it's darn cold today!....of course, we don't know and they can't drive close to the nest as it's 3 blocks in from the road in a farmer's field.
Lani - well now there are some ears!.

Kb - That is a wonderful memory you have of your family's trip where you hiked into the Carlsbad Caverns!! :) Cute pic of Ollie and his ears! ;D
Puff - Hope you are getting a little progress with your computer issues.
Karen - So sad that E23 is getting traumatized by that Owl. :o >:(
Lani - Thanks so much for Sloth updates!! They are all so precious and sweet.
Beakers have a good night.

Emy - You would like AC at 22 deg?!! When I got up this morning, our temp inside our house was 66, so i didn't turn on the heater. I would definitely have the heater on where you are!!
E4E: that was 22C which is about 72 American. I was only making the point that with my old age came a very low range of tolerance for variation in temperature. Plus or minus one degree on either side of 21 and I feel it. And you can bet your boots the furnace is on here this week and likely several more weeks after this.

Good Evening Beakers
It appears that this round of lava in Iceland is going to keep going for awhile. There is still uplift occurring to the west of the volcano trench. Speculation is that the deep reservoir of magma is feeding directly from the deep to the upper reservoir and then to the trench. Lava flow is slower than the start, but may last weeks.

Phyl, wow on having your name on the commemorative plate that will be sent to Europa!
baz, love the good night words, hope you rested well...
E4E, yes, Harley and the 'kids' are slowly blending. Sophie is really interested in Harley, she gets right up in his face before he even has a chance to hiss! She has even managed to sniff his butt, a very common cat greeting. ;D Sam is more cautious!
Lisa, I am glad Jeff feeds the hungry critters. Tuesday there was a calico cat out front next to the street, and when I left to get my tires I saw her go down the storm drain, so I am guessing she is a feral. I have seen them go down the storm drain before. There is probably a colony down there...
tsk, we just had one of those picture guessing contests a couple of years before I retired, so it's still going on! Yes, we are making progress on the cat assimilation!
SF Bay Ospreys - Rosie and Richmond have been spending most of their day on distant light poles, but we caught Rosie as she was departing from a short visit to the rail by the old nest. They haven’t picked a spot for their nest yet. Once they’re ready it will be surprising how quickly they can build a nest. (If you remember, their nest was destroyed in a storm last year)

Good Morning Everyone....
Well...I don't know what to make of Jim's visit with his PCP yesterday afternoon. I was angry and puzzled all day and evening.
Woke up feeling the same this morning. Certainly wish I had of gone in with him to the exam room this time.
As usual the lab results are on a portal and for us in accessible ---some fluke in their program. No matter, Jim will call
doctor's office later this AM.

Catch the Full Worm Moon - and the Paschal Full Moon!
Worm Moon reaches its peak in the morning hours of Monday, March 25. Look for it to rise after sunset on both Sunday and Monday!
This first full moon of the spring season will appear on the nights of Sunday, March 24, and Monday, March 25. Specifically, March’s full Worm Moon reaches peak illumination at 3:00 A.M. ET on Monday, March 25, 2024.
Of course, you don’t have to wait until the middle of the night to see the Moon! Look for the spectacularly bright Moon as it rises above the horizon on Sunday evening. If your weather is poor on Sunday night, try again on Monday!

47 and sunny! Going to 77 by 5 pm! Ent aot this afternoon to see what he says about the vertigo! I finish the 14 day routine on Saturday! Betterdoing the exercises but still dizzy bending over! Akso in big need of a shot in my back! Ooooh!
Great. Goodnight picture Old Guy!
Clynn, good for Sophie! Does Sam relate to any of his humans or is he still wary with all of you?
Enjoy your Birthday Tig! You have been. Celebrating for a while!
Phyl, missed something about Jims appointment! Hope he is getting some relief!

Well all, things are still bonkers!
I truly regret missing your birthday Lisa. Hope it met with some fun moments. Cherish all the pleasant memories. And now, let me be better about tig. Happy Birthday Day to you. Does that mean that Lisa is a day older??? Oh, fudge on the statistics - just ENJOY! my friends.
Still :-\ re computer issues. I won't dwell, I'll try not to anyway. Y'all know and understand the ordeal. Maybe there is a personal consultant for me among us who has mastered Micro11?
Back to today - Have a workman coming to do some jobs. Been holding off waiting for better weather and free time on his end. List of 6 to-do's; he can prioritize and decide some harder rest easier. I have only 1/2 day with him because I have a meeting/presentation/dinner later (going Spain tonight).
Back to today, he'll be here shortly. Time to gulp my tea and finish off my slice of my Irish soda bread.
Later. . .

Have a Happy Bird Day, tig
Almost done preparing for anticipated snow. Tonight I can handle, 1-3 inches.
But I contacted Andrew to let him know I'll for sure need him after Sunday storm finishes at over a foot!
He has many seasonal contracts to finish before he gets to me, so I'm prepared food and such wise to wait awhile.
So, I decided to leave my snowblower out along side my garage and covered it with tarp...Same with my patio chairs on my front steps. It's a tight fit with snowblower and garbage cans. After a foot I might have to wait quite awhile to use them!. All 5 leaf cans, 1 recycle, 1 garbage (large 84 gallons) plus snowblower are on steps..logistically a nightmare without the snow.. er hum a foot of snow.
No sense maneuvering stuff around at this point. I won't be able to snowblow that much snow myself. A plow will have to do it.

Lani - Love your morning pic! I know, I felt so bad for N2BMG when her egg rolled off the nest.
tsk - Yes! Both nests have goose eggs in them now. The MG on N2B laid one the other day, but she looked like she could be a first time mom, and not known what to expect when that egg came out. She spun around and the egg landed on the outer part of nest. She tried to roll it back up, but it got loose and rolled off nest. :'(
Lani & tsk - Thanks for kind words on Sydney :-*
kb - Be safe! I am guessing your weather person is not like ours. She gets you all hyped up, and nothing happens.
baz - Good luck to your Tarheels!

Lisa - I never watch my local news..never.
I've been following wunderground weather for a week, and other weather apps only....they seem to be lining up for a big dump of snow/ice...

Clynn - Happy to hear the family of Harley, Sophie & Sam are getting acquainted with each other - whether it's sniffing or something else! Lol! ;D ;D You really did GOOD in taking time for them to get used to each other's scents before introducing them to one another!! It is really working out!! ;D
Phyl - Nice temp for you today at 67! Our high was 70 - so we were similar!

Soma y Big Ten teams in the playoffs! Or is it now the Big 12 soon to be?
Clynn, good news on the kitties! Cook the salmon?
Lisa, cute picture of Sydney. Is her hair that light?
Phyl, worried about Jim!
My visit to the ent was good! Told him I got almost no reaction going to the right, the sitting up in between the right and left Movements Produced a slight bit of dizziness, at times. Whike putting my head down to the left caused a reaction like a carnival ride st first it was now very mild and lasted about 5 seconds. Told him that while the exercise was better I was still suffering vertigo around the house! Reminded him I was not thru the 14 day course . He said the might make a difference but did a few tests and then the. Eply! He said do nothing for two days! If the vertigo returns , start over! Said my case has been very hard to treat. Feel better tonight so we will see! Enough about this!
Seds Beakers and the goose families.
Oh, my little house finch is sittimg in the nest! Must have eggs!

Karen - The Big 10 Conference is currently 14 schools, and starting this fall UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington will be added to make it 18 schools.
The Big Ten only has 6 teams in the NCAA Tourney and 3 in the NIT Tourney. There has been as many as 8 in the NCAA Tourney some years.
I expect all 6 to win their first game, but only 3 to win the second game....

Lisa, I love the picture of Sydney, looks like her hair is getting lighter! She is such a cutie pie, love those beautiful eyes. She looks like a sweet, cuddly baby! Our weather people tend to hype it up here too! Looks like we may get an inch of snow, but it won't last long. It's 37 right now, high 43. The temp dips to 34 around 8:00 so it can snow, then right back up! Enough about the snow! This too shall pass...
Lori, wonderful goodies for tig's birthday! The lemon cakes look delicious!
tsk, I didn't realize there were geese in N2B either, or even that they had a cam on it!

Good Morning Everyone....
Currently: 53F cloudy High 70F light rain showers, Low 49F
Firstly thanks for the interesting post/conversation/snaps from, yesterday
Secondly,
What had me concerned was the 'Visit Summary' which listed the possible diagnosis from the tests that were
performed on his Blood tests.
The results, according to Jim's conversation w/ doctor's office are as follows:
Chronic Stage 3a kidney disease; COPD, Congestive Heart Failure and Fatigue. Some adjustments have been made to his medical regime. With
appointments with a Pulmonologist and Nephrologist when their offices call us to set up.
Regarding CKD, Jim has none of the more common symptoms save for lethargy . My little Maggie with her stage 2a CKD has been an early education
in this disorder at the very least.
Prayers for:Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

In the past even weather apps, have been wrong, but not this close to the event.
I'm another user of Wunderground here KB. Like the "local" flavor. Very easy to get pertinent weather reports for 3 areas of Chicago (ORD, MDW, Loop) but not too many reporting stations in Darien. (Where, what is a Darien?) Wunderground does have one here, even more among others in the county. My very local station is at the firestation about 1 mile from me. That makes for very reliable numbers for those living out here. Wouldn't be as reliable for for TSK. She's close to the O'Hare stats though.

I don't do the comparison thing that often if at all Lisa BUT. . .
I don't think I'm stretching things by saying " Syndey looks a whole lot like her grandmother."
Family and friends always told me I looked like my paternal grandmother. I did - Grandma only lived into her late 50's unfortunately. But as a youngster there was a good transfer of some of the DNA that was clear. Genes can travel.

PHYL Prayers that Jim can feel more comfortable as the doc appts continue. He's such a hard worker and will get through this episode (((( JIM)))) Soon some action at Decorah north ;D Liked the piece on Vitamins
PUFF I tend to agree on who Sydney looks like ;)

Karen - The Big 10 Conference is currently 14 schools, and starting this fall UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington will be added to make it 18 schools.
The Big Ten only has 6 teams in the NCAA Tourney and 3 in the NIT Tourney. There has been as many as 8 in the NCAA Tourney some years.
I expect all 6 to win their first game, but only 3 to win the second game....
Big ten has been growing and only seems to be not done. I had fun trying to explain the Big Ten logo to Tony . Not being a sport afficianado; he just didn't/couldn't even see the two colors between B and 10 (which was really 12?). It'll be interesting to see what the next options will be.
I/We have three local schools in the area to cheer on and hope they win: Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern. Keeps me busy. No other ladies in the group know what a football is. But, they do know what Taylor Swift wore. It's good there's something for everyone. LOL

kb - Did you get the big snow that was expected?
tig - What a neat card.
E4E - Thanks :-*
karen - Her hair was dark when she was born. It might have lightened up some. It looks to be like a reddish brown. Hope you are starting to see some improvements with your vertigo.
Lani - Wow, that is some snow in Decorah this morning! Great pics from the nests.
clynn - Thanks :-* Did you get as much snow as Decorah? They look like they got a couple inches, maybe? Love the SWFL pic.
Puff - Thank you....someone else just told me that same thing! :-*
Phyl - Pretty edible arrangement this morning. Prayers for Jim.

Good Morning! A rainy Friday here! Good thing about spring snows is a fast melt! No stress! Also a good help for drought if it doesn’t cause flooding!
Old Guy, thanks for the additions to the Big Ten! Puff, I am with you on the three teams but will add Marquette to my list as it is close to Chicago! Northwestern plays a little after noon, et , today!
Tsk, the finch nest is very close, on the underside of tge roof over my littlefront porch and visible from the windows around my front door! This is the same nest that was there last year! I did nit take it down as they tried to nest there for many years and the nesting material always blew down! Last year was the first time they were successful so I left it! They will have at least 2 broods. They often perch on the ledge of tge windows over the door and look in the house at me and Piper. Lol our own personal 365!
Lisa, a little mini me! Lolol!
While my father, who was not a cat lover, was serving in the army (ww11) my mother and I had a cat! One night she was awakened to the sound of the piano being played and after checking to see that I was asleep, in bed, she flew downstairs to see the kitty walking up and down the piano keyboard! The keys were covered at night after that!
A coworker in Springfield had a small menagerie of sorts and had at least on parrot and a cat. The parrot loved to make the cat crazy by calling here kitty, kitty off and on all day!
E 23 having a flapping goid time this morning in the rain! Thanks for Sues picture!
bbl. Going to have one of Lisas croissants

Karen - FYI, Spring snows in the north, if heavy, are a LOT of stress! We had three 3" snow falls in 3 days a few years ago, in April. Sure, it melted some in the daytime, but it froze overnight... which caused ice dams and thousands of dollars in damage. I just made an appt. for our roof company to come next Wednesday and remove snow. It will be a minimum of $350. But that is our return customer rate which is good for about 4 inches and 1 hour of service. More inches over that means more time and more $$$. And some forecasts are predicting 6 to 12 inches here on Sunday.
Not complaining, just explaining reality.
-
Sorryfor your troubles and expense Tig! Had 10 inches of tge heavy stuff fall in Chicago one April and did not have that issue! Never had my roof cleaned off or anything, nor did my neighbors or my Wisconsin relatives!
Must be a difference in the buildings ir roof pitch or something! Good luck

Hi!
Many thanks for the prayers and good wishes for Jim. If the specialists don't call by end of next week--I'm calling PCP and request their names
and contact info. The following Monday I'll call and set appts up for Jim, etc. ;D
Jim's plan is to return to work this Monday.
I'[m going to drive to PetSmart in Smyrna and get Maggie's Hill' KD and errands. LOL Thought I was busy before.
CLynn tks for sharing Sue Bruhling 's Southwest Florida Eagles 3/20 they look great
KB tks that puppy rea;ly jamming too cute. LOL
Lisa cocoa and scones ;) Sydney resembles you
Tsk thanks, Jim is a hard worker; vitamins keep the bod in shape
TIG more snow :(
Karen my dad didn't like cats either so when I was allowed one---'Tiger' silver tabby, stayed out doors :(
Lani snow for Mother/Father goose at N1---Brrrr.

Iceland volcano: Gigantic plume of toxic gas from latest eruption is moving across Europe, satellite data shows
A massive column of sulfur dioxide that was pumped out by the erupting volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula is currently traveling across northern Europe. Scientists are concerned it could impact the ozone layer.
Photo and map of toxic plumb drift included

Indeed tig....I lost half of my arborvitae last year. I would NOT have bought this house without them. They block the parking lot across the street. Now, not so much.
Monday's snow will contain a lot of moisture and if a foot falls I anticipate I'll lose more.
and, sometimes you can't even move it (the snow). I have ordered a plow but may not be till Monday he comes.
and then there is the potential for power outages.
In the upper midwest the weather peeps say it's only a 12:1 ration of water to snow...Depends on the snow type and if the ground can absorb any if at all before it evaporates.
Luckily we are dry but not in a drought due to Dec and Jan rains...
Winter in Minnesota can only be appreciated by Minnesotans I think...life long learners allow us to see it all and adapt.

PUFF Home in time for second half Northwestern. Last seconds NW ties it up - Overtime :o :o Northwestern wins :)
KAREN Thanks - I remember the finch nest now. Yes Northwestern ( wins) in overtime and Marquette plays late afternoon I think. Truly your own 365 ;D Funny story about the kitty and the piano. Parrot " here kitty kitty" LOL

What a morning! Sadie and I left for our walk at 6:15. I noticed she kept having to stop often for potty breaks.
She didn't want to go home, we walked till 8. I called the vet for an appt. to see if she had a bladder infection.
Went to the vet at 8:30, returned 9:45 and yes, she has a bladder infection. She's on anti-biotics, had her breakfast, sleeping
on the second floor patio, along with Milo and Norman. They're enjoying mid-morning sun naps. :-* And I'm
finally sitting and enjoying my first cup of coffee and breakfast. It's almost time for lunch. LOL! I'm exhausted and
I haven't even fixed my bed or started the laundry.
Phyl, thank you for rrp update and nature video... shared the article on vitamins with Mike. He's big about taking vitamins. He makes my daily pill packs everyday.... prayers for Jim.
Puff, Little Miss Sydney does look more and more like her Grandma, your right! .. Our Big 12 Conference has 16 teams now. I think soon there will not be a PAC conference. LOL over your Taylor Swift comment!
Clynn, OMG! "Casual Friday!" LOLOLOL!! ... sweet SWFL pic.

Well, no snow to be seen! All the streets, lawns, and roofs are clear. It just made its way up to 39, no sun. But I really just had a coating. Another day about the same tomorrow but without the snow beginning.
What's happening up north tsk?

LANI It's amazing how well we know our pet's behaviors. You were lucky to get in right away. Long wait for that first cup of coffee :o

Hello Beakers
Last night the forecast was <1 inch of snow - this morning at 8am the forecast was for 2.5 inches of snow. Snow started at 9am and ended at 11 am with about 3 inches on the ground. For about 15 min. the snow flakes were huge. Temp is now 36 and the paved areas have melted and most of the cars were clear. Our next storm will be all rain on Mon with a high of 60.
We got our new headboard delivered about 10 min. after the snow stopped. We also got word that the new range will be here Wed. ;D

Phyl - Thank you :-* Hope Jim is feeling a lil better.

Lani, sorry about your morning! Glad Sadie is resting and on meds! Those dang infection’s are painful!
-
karen - As long as Pepe' and the other critters do not walk in front the back fence, they will be good. The back is low and will get like a swamp, as I call it. They will need to come around to the front gate and come in. :D
Have a good night, everyone!

Hi Beakers! Happy Friday! :)
Pretty busy 'round here, but all is good. Northwestern beat a team I was rooting for, in OT today - FAU (Florida Atlantic). I know our Beakers in the Illinois area pull for Northwestern, of course. But my very close, 1st cousin, who I grew up with - our moms were sisters - and who is only 2 weeks older than I am, went to school at FAU on a tennis scholarship, so I pull for them. You see, tennis ran in my fmaily. ;) Last year, FAU was the Cinderella team in the NCAA Tourney, and made it all the way to the Final Four. I didn't think they would get that far this year, but they had a good run and a good season overall. They almost won it today. That was an amazing buzzer beater basket by Northwestern to take it to OT. FAU couldn't get the ball to go through the basket in OT it seemed, and it didn't help that several calls were errors by the refs, which happens in many games, of course, but it did help Northwestern, though I think they would have won anyway - they were playing better than FAU in OT, so good for them. I see Marquette, won, also, today, TSK. Lani, your Jayhawks like to test the heart health of their fans! ;) I watched that nail-biter last night. Congrats to KU for getting that win! :) I know Mike must've been beside himself till the final buzzer sounded! ;) ;D My Tarheels play their next round game tomorrow. I will watch a couple of games tonight - notably the Duke game. They're my team's arch-rival. I am wearing my "Beat Duke" button, so you know where I stand on that! ;D ;D
Lani, (((Sadie))) I'm glad you could get her in this morning, so you didn't have to do the weekend vet thing, or wait till Monday! I bet she is well fast, since you caught it and started treatment early in the onset of her infection. I hope ((Mike)) is home soon, and hope his travel hasn't worsened his condition. I hope you all relax this weekend, and enjoy the basketball, and just treat yourselves to some extra comfort and rest if you can.. :-* :-*
Phyl, (((JIM))).
((Karen)), it sounds like you had a good visit with your ENT, and I hope his prescription for your exercises and rest schedule will mean you continue to see improvement. Keep up the good work! :) You certainly are familiar with winters in the snowy north, having lived there. We know every place is different. There's extra work to do with winter cold and precip, for sure. And it's harder on people as they get older, to deal with all things required to take care of home and yard, which is why so many people move and/or downsize as they get older, as I have done. Awww, your very own Live Finch Nest watch! Fun! :D :-* Does Piper pay attention to the Finch looking in the window? :D
Tig, was your authentic Mexican birthday lunch good? What did y'all get to eat there? I love a really good authentic Mexican place - my fav one is near my sister's home. There are a couple of good ones where I live, but they are a bit pricey.
Lisa, yes, I'm getting the deluge and the wind - some today and more tonight and tomorrow - expect 2-3 inches of rain, and I have already brought in the things outside that can blow around. I don't expect any big issues where I live though, unless the wind topples trees in soggy soil and cause a power outage. Fingers crossed for you and me, and all, for that. But I think it's going to be more for you than me. My sister is driving to Alexandria tomorrow, and I am a little concerned, since the weather folks have already advised of the big wind and flash flooding that is expected along her route on I-95. I will be glad when I hear she has arrived at her daughter's home there. I know it will make for a longer and more tiring travel for her. Fingers crossed it won't be as bad as forecasted. You and Jeff stay safe. I know you won't be crossing that bridge tomorrow!! :o I love that close-up picture of your pretty, smiling Sydney!! What a sweetheart! :-* Love her pretty hair color, which looks a little more auburn in that picture and light. :) :-* :-*
Clynn, it sounds like all is going well with Harley, Sam, and Sophie, the butt-sniffer. ;D ;D ;) :-* :-* :-* 8) I got glasses when I was in elementary school, too. Like Bella, I was nearsighted and needed a little help to see the blackboard clearly from a distance. At that age, we thought it was something special. LOL! I was really borderline in needing them. I can't wait to see what kind of frames Bella picks out! I know she will be fashion forward with them!! ;) :D :-* :-*
Oldguy, glad you didn't get too much snow causing big issues in your area, at least so far. Hope the overnight re-freeze doesn't cause you to slip'n'slide! A new range!! Oh boy!! Did yours quit, or are you just enjoying a new model? I bet you have something yummy planned to cook in it to break it in! Good luck with cards tomorrow night! You've been on a roll!! :D
E4E, do you and Kris have anything special planned for this weekend? It seems like y'all always have something fun on tap. :)
Take care, All, and have a good weekend!! Fingers crossed for all in the path of wind, rain, or the big snow!! Stay safe and warm!! :)

Lani - Thank you for nest cam pics! Is Mike back home for the weekend? Good for you in taking Sadie to the Vet right away this morning after your walk! Glad that she will be fine!! Hope you got some rest & relaxation this afternoon. {{Lani}}
Clynn - Love the beautiful cam shot at the SWFL nest!!!! ;D
Kb - Oh my gosh - it was the dog creating the noise!!!Lol!! ;D ;D
Phyl - Wishing all the best for your Jim. {{{Phyl & Jim}}}
Puff - Good for you in looking like your paternal Grandmother! I also look like my paternal Grandmother! It's all in the genes! ;) :)
Tig - I take those vitamins and a few others! ;) How is the snow now? Okay, just read you are having someone come next week for roof snow removal! 'Thumbs up'!!
LisaG - I too, remember how Sydney's hair was dark and it has lightened up!
Kb - You are a healthy girl!! I believe in vitamins! ;D
Karen - Wow! I bet your Mom was startled by the sound of the piano way back when, but what a relief that it was your family kitty!! Thanks for the story!! ;D
Tsk - Good stuff on Nat Geo!
Og - Thank you so much for all links & info! :)
Baz - We did have plans to go to San Juan Bautista for a big crafts faire tomorrow (Sat) and my sister was going to go with us, but the weather forecast is for rain, so we may not go. We will see tomorrow morning! Hope you have a nice weekend too!! ;D
Beakers have a safe & warm night.
-
E4E, maybe the weather will turn out better so you can go to the crafts fair. If not, I hope y'all find some other weekend fun to enjoy.
TSK, thanks! The Dook game had the wrong outcome tonight, ;) but there is another opportunity soon. ;D My Tarheels play their next round game tomorrow afternoon against Mich. State. Oh, the fact that Northwestern got it to OT was a good effort on their part. ;) ;D FAU was seeded 8, and Northwestern was seeded 9 in the tourney, so technically, it was an upset win by Northwestern, who was trailing by 2 points with 10 seconds left in regulation play, and then they made that basket to force Overtime. Then Northwestern took off in OT play, and won it by a good margin. For their efforts, they face the overall Number 1 seed, UCONN in their next game. Yikes! I hope your streets were clear by tonight, though it looks like maybe some light snow in the Chicago area tonight, and cold rain, too, then still cold tomorrow. Brr! Sounds like it might be a good day for hot chocolate, or some nice hot tea. Yay for PIP at the Decorah North nest! Talons crossed! :) :-*
BL, thanks for the Tom Petty tune!
Karen, thanks for the news about the hatch starting in the Decorah North nest.
Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Tsk, very sad about Princess Catherine's cancer treatment. She looks even thinner.... This is Sadie's first time bout of bladder infection. Knowing her so well, her morning reactions to things made me be watchful. And since it's Friday and all Payson vets close their office on weekends. I called as soon as I returned home. If a dog needs emergency care on the weekends you have to go to Mesa's 24 hour emergency vet care in the valley. That is the closest weekend vet.
Karen, wonderful news about Decorah North. Thanks.
Oldguy, thanks for links... love Walter and Santi video. I'll watch Iceland update now.
Great basketball games.
Lisa, take care for all inside and out. :-*
Baz, Mike returned home last night, in time for the game. The last 2 secs of the game was terrible. :o .. take care from the storms.
BL, thanks for music tonight!
Eagles, I hope you can make your trip to the crafts fair. We're expecting rain on Sunday.
Good night!

Good Morning Everyone.... It's Caturday !
Currently: 46F partly cloudy, High 58F mostly sunny, Low 37F
Tsk we were watching Sean Hannity on FNC yesterday evening and he reported about Kate Middleton/ cancer. He aired her video announcement to the
British people ---it was what she 'didn't' say that struck me. So sad and very tough with the children and duties of the Monarchy.
Lani {{{Sadie}}} :-*
OG tks for Walter's video; always Q-Kids
Eagles thank you so much for including me in your good wishes/hugs for Jim. I need them too.
BL thanks for the tunes; I posted the Nat Geo link to their article on the their photographer and daring/risky things thyme did to get that ' shot'.
It reminded me of you and all they things you've done.
Karen thanks for all the info on N 1.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock, Princess Kate .

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
Couple of amazing upsets last night!
EAGLES Art fairs are the highlight of summers here. I try not to miss them. ;)
BAZI I did catch the Northwestern game - They were on steroids in OYT LOLOL Your game follows Kansas this afternoon ;D ;D
What ever snow covered the grasses yesterday is all gone today. Wind chill is 19 right now. We warm to 36 and it will be mostly sunny.
LANI I know - just pray your pet doesn't have an emergency on the weekend. Our vet is 5 min away - emergency vet about 45 min. More cute noses last night ;D
PHYL A chillin' white kitty. Thanks for all the links. ": whim away" LOL

Good Morning Beakers!

Phyl, just a whim away, and now it's stuck! :o Good 365, love the butt wiggles! Today we will have DN17! I also saw Kate's video, on Chris Hayes show on MSNBC, and she did look a bit sad, but we usually see her at her best, all dressed up and maybe this is what she really is. A normal person. She looked fine walking from the grocery store after her statement, there was a spring in her step. I wish they would say what kind of cancer, that makes a big difference. Ed was off work for 3 months when he had colon cancer and he is fine now, but some kinds of cancer don't have a good outlook... I am always praying for you and Jim together, what effects one effects the other...
Sam and Sophie wanted the same space...
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/44/39/bc/4439bc3be2f410508ea98610a95b51a1.jpg)
Lani, I am so glad you noticed something amiss with Sadie and got her to the vet right away! Having to take her on a trip to Mesa would have scared her so much! You are a good furkid Mom! I hope both you and Mike and Sadie had a restful night...
Erin's stopped by last night, Erin had so set up Kelsey's new iPad. (Did I tell you that last week she tried to plug the wrong charger into it and then it wouldn't charge? Well, the Apple store ordered her a new one. That's what they get when they change the charger tip that they have had since the beginning!) Bells'a glasses came in!

E4E, did you make it to the Craft Fair? I miss going to those, that was the fun thing that Kay and I did years ago before her hip got worse. And before I got the arthritis in my hips. There was an annual one that was our favorite, we always had lunch at Red Lobster before we went and spent the rest of the day browsing. Good memories.
tsk, Bella has another pair of glasses coming, all I could get out of her was that they had sparkles on them! I think she is also borderline on the vision, Erin was testing her with finger counting and she did well without the glasses. I can tell, they are always going to be grimy, like Kelseys, shehas her fingers on the glass constantly! ;D
oldguy, we just got a heavy dusting of snow yesterday, nothing measurable. It was gone early! Thanks for the news you keep us up on!
It's the Annual Chicken Barbeque in Bone Gap, Il today! 10 miles from Albion, where Mom lives and where Aunt June lives!

baz - Hope your sister has a safe trip to Alexandria. No bridge crossing today, and we made plans to shop tomorrow, so we don't have to go out in this nasty weather. Thank for kind words on Sydney. :-* Be safe!

this bridge I grew up on and still exists after being built in the early 1900's...I lived a few houses north of it on Overlook Dr. in Bloomington. It sits on the hill going down to Nine Mile Creek which empties into the Minnesota River....My old stomping grounds was the forests surrounding the Creek and River.
(https://scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/23376445_10212350512571876_5569107345950129408_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=B1wk2jTTj8IAX_QBVAd&_nc_ht=scontent.ffcm1-2.fna&oh=00_AfCd4cmV-00QtQF7zBAXbgVXs48t3Y_vGZSfWqWJMTwxLg&oe=66266676)
this is the accompanying Waleswood Estates...overlooking the Minnesota River. Stables, clubhouse, watch tower...All torn down before the subdivision of homes were built in the 1957-1960 era..
Marv Anderson bought the property and developed it all. He built his own beautiful "mansion" overlooking the bluffs and shot off the most fabulous fireworks on the fourth of July.
Course all we kids needed to do was go sit outside on the front steps.
Still visit the area, woods, and creek. Not so much since the Pandemic but will have to do so soon. Lots of bald eagles and wildlife as well.
I just love this bridge, it does nothing now and no one knows for sure if it had a function!

Cornell Lab bird cams Red Tail Hawks Cornell University Ithaca, NY home of Big Red & Arthur
3Eggs!!!
(https://i.gyazo.com/99fc9a8f35f39a2094440d5d8cdeb1a3.gif)
Third Egg Revealed During a Snowy Morning At the Cornell Red-tailed Hawks! March 23, 2024 https://youtu.be/FK9fL_alp18?feature=shared VIA CORNELL LAB BIRD CAMS
A winter weather advisory was no match for the methodical breeding approach of Big Red and Arthur! A third egg was laid by Big Red under cover of darkness, and we got a great daylight look at the triple clutch as Arthur stood to shake off a coating of snow, rolling the eggs gently before settling back in with a patience that is enviable. Congratulations!
Watch live at allaboutbirds.org/cornellhawks
A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since 2012. They have made use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012, 2015, and 2018–2023 they used a tower near Fernow Hall, and in 2013, 2014, and 2016, they used the tower nearest Weill Hall. We installed cameras at both of these sites to get a better look at the intimate behavior of these well-known birds as they raise their young amid the bustle of a busy campus.

Good afternoon and Happy Caturday!
Cute pictures of the kids Clynn. Bellas glasses do not change her appearance much as they seem almost clear frames! Cannot wait to see the
sparkly pair!
Big basketball weekend! May our favorite Teams win!
Weather around 70 degrees or do with humidity of 100%! Partly sunny
Very damp feeling. Water standing in the back yard! At least I do not have to shovel it!
So far, at about an hour from my ent visit and treatment, I am not dizzy! Knock on wood! Trying hard not to dislodge these nasty crystals! Let them settle in well and then move on! Will call ortho md on Monday and schedule a shot! This will be one appointment and then another for the shot.
Hope those who are ailing are improving .
Went to an Arts and Craft Fair in Fairhope, Al, every year! They had some great things and a section of some high end things. I miss that show! Best I ever attended!
-
CLYNN n I don't know who I heard it from on TV but they said "colorectal " I've not heard that from any one else so suspect it it not that reliable. Sophie and Sam are so funny! You can't even tell she has glasses. She looks so cute ;D
KB Ollie puppy :D Loved the forecast cartoon LOLOL Good news on the snow totals. Good memories - stone bridge ;)

Baz - Weather is raining off & on all day, so we won't be going to the Crafts Faire today (maybe tomorrow).
Lani - Glad Mike is home now :) Celebration of Life - one of the 'nice' things is seeing folks you haven't seen in a while.
Phyl - Yes, of course hugs for you too, as everything that affects our spouses/significant others, affects us too! Thanks for Amy's blog - loved 'Pip Pip Hooray'!! ;D
Tsk - I agree with you in that I try not to miss the Arts & Crafts Faires as there is so much enjoyment in walking and seeing all the many unique and homemade goods, decorations and much more!! ;D
Clynn - Sophie & Sam wanted the same spot - so cute!! ;D Bella looks cute in her new glasses!! Talon is so cute & handsome - growing up fast! Yum! Chicken bbq!!
Lori - Thank you for DNN!! Great close up of the 3 eggs!! ;D

Lori, thanks for the s'caps and gifs from the North nest! That's a big PIP!! I can see the movement through that Pip-hole, too! I bet there's lots of peeping going on in there, so I think that makes it a "peep-hole"!! ;D :-* :-* Pip, pip, hooray!! I hope that little "chicklet" is here soon! :) :-* :-*

baz - Hope your sister has a safe trip to Alexandria. No bridge crossing today, and we made plans to shop tomorrow, so we don't have to go out in this nasty weather. Thank for kind words on Sydney. :-* Be safe!
Lisa, thank you, my sister arrived safely in Alexandria 2 hours ago. Yay! All good at my house. It will be much windier tomorrow here when the back side of the storm system affects us. We expect gusty winds in excess of 40 mph here tomorrow. I think you may have similar winds tomorrow? If so, I guess your shopping tomorrow will be on your side of that bridge! Hope you don't have any bad flooding from the rain! Y'all have a good weekend! :)

Arizona just finished their win today over Dayton. Now it's time for the KU Jayhawks to play (CBS), starting now. They're playing Gonzaga. Then my UNC Tarheels will play their game against Michigan State after the Kansas game is over, same channel. Go Heels! :D
Lani, sorry for another Celebration of Life to attend. Your KU Jayhawks' game is starting now - they're going from playing one pack of Bulldogs to another! ;) ;D The Zags Bulldogs this time. I hope you and Mike get to enjoy a good game today, and I hope Sadie is more comfortable today, and on her way to being 100% again soon. :)
Karen, that's great news about not being dizzy!! Yay!! :)
Lori, awww for the Big Red RTH nest, with 3 eggs! Thanks! :-* :-* :-*
Phyl, ((Jim)).
E4E, shoot about the rainy day there today, but at least you like rain, I think I remember you saying before. I'm glad it sounds like the rain will wrap up in time for you and Kris to go to that Crafts Fair tomorrow. Fingers crossed! :)
Tig, PUPPIES! :D
TSK, everything I've seen on several major news outlets has said the type of Kate's cancer is not being released at this time. I hope it turns out to be a type that responds well to treatment, and that she and her family can put that behind her and she can return to good health again soon. Are you getting snow today?
((Eaglesrock)), thinking of you. Hugs. Stop back by The Beak when you can. :) :-*
I'm off now to watch some basketball.
Have a great day, All!! :)

Lani how's Ms Sadie this am? Cute doggie and kitty noseies last night. Got me with those lovely Maine Coon kittens. :-*
Celebrations of Life are an event of very mixed emotions IMHO
Tsk cuddly gingers this AM; 'whim-away" ;D
CLynn an 'ear worm' ;D ; those kitties at Happy Hour look like they're having a meowing good time; Bella looks pretty and happy in her new specs---but, those are just for reading and such? Talon all smiles as usual. Sam and Sophie awwwww. 'Thank you.'
And, that Bone Gap, IL Chick BBQ---luv a pulled chick BBQ sand.
Lori many thanks for the update on DNN egglets ---celebratory 'pip' for sure. ;) Hope all is well w/ your family and grandma.
KB Ollieman was a cute little pup and now a dapper old fella---even this no apologies Ailurophile will admit. Nice childhood area.
Lisa sweet kitten this AM; improvement is slow for Jim-but he's up and about which is good--the more one lays about the weaker one can become in every way, IMHO. Doubtful, he'll return to work this Monday---no pay check last week and at best a short one this week, if we're lucky..
Retirees really feel the $$$ crunch these days. :-X
Lori Cornell Lab Big Red is awesome and look at those egglets! Brrrr! Tks for history and for posting. ;)
Eagles luv 'Office Kitty' today; I love the crafts shows. Missouri goes nutz over Arts/Crafts---when we lived in Joplin, the NorthPark Mall was packed to near
over crowding with stalls and booths from crafters from the Four Sate Area. Mom and I were there all day and the next. It was fantastic! You/Kris would have had a time.
Tsk glad you had 'No Snow'. It's been gusty and blustery winds all day with clouds threatening high temp between 46F and 52F feeling like 37F
Karen so glad you don't have the dizzies. I've tried most everything to get rid of mine and BPPV---I have been reading up on brandt and daroff exercises. When life's 'normal' here I'll set time aside and work on them. ;)

Phyl, thanks for RRP update "Pip, pip, Hooray! and nature video... I'm hoping Sadie will be better tomorrow.... I would have loved to have a Maine Coon... Bob is such a beautiful ginger cat.
Thank you Everyone for your TLC for Sadie. I'm hoping she will be better tomorrow. She'll have two days of meds in her system.
Clynn, Bella looks adorable with glasses. Definitely looks like her mom. Looking forward to seeing the sparkling glasses ;D .... cute pic of S & S... the smell of barbecue chicken must have been intoxicating for the town! Yum!
Lori, wonderful posts of Decorah North today! What a snowy day for Big Red. prayers for her eggs.
Kb, darling pic of puppy Ollie. :-* .. funny Larry David cartoon ;D
{{{Karen}}} praying those nasty crystals don't move and you have a day without dizziness.... our Kansas Jayhawks lost. :( But, the Jayhawk Women won! ;D
Eagles, The Celebration of Life was a sad event... I didn't know anyone other than the wife of the deceased. ... It was a Mormon funeral for a husband of a friend. It was a blended family of two sets of adult children that seems to have not been able to have closure of their parents divorce. So, when it was time for the family members to share their thoughts, there were memories and emotions shared that sons wished they had said before their father died... on a side note, I discovered my eye doctor is a Mormon, his wife gave one of the prayers. It was a very unusual service, it left me thinking.
Baz, Glad your sister made her trip safely to Alexandria... So glad your Tarheels won! ;D Our boys lost :'( oh well, October will be here soon .... the Jayhawk Women won!!! ;D .. sleep well :-*
Tsk, Mike wasn't very happy. I stayed in my office and waited until I heard him turn off the tv. And by 7pm, he was watching a game in bed! We've moved on. ;D
Tig, yes the KU Ladies won! Thanks ;D ... Mike listened to it on his iphone. Couldn't get it on the tv.
Good night!

Lani, I am hoping Sadie is back to her old self today, she is such a sweetie. Like her 'Mom'! Erin told me once that Sydney's Mom and step-dad are Mormon, but I am not sure if they always were or if Sydney herself is Mormon. There are 3 or 4 Morman churches in this area. Prayers for your friend... It's good that Mike gets over the game losses quickly! Erin is like that about Manchester United, I could hear his scream all over the house when they made a goal and if they lost he would be mad for a while. Then over it. Sweet good night puppies...
Phyl, your good night pic is so Harley... Bella's glasses are for far away, like the blackboard at school. Glad to hear Jim is moving around, always better to move rather than just lay around. absolutely, no tv needed when you have kittens to watch! Sam and Sadie are super busy, then they nap, wake up and start all over!

Phyl, sounds like 10,000 steps a day is very good and that any amount is also good! Sweet little kestrel in the 365, pretty song!
baz, hope you got a good night's sleep last night!

PHYL You are right - For every day on "bedrest" it is 3-4 days to recover. Good to hear Jim is up and movng around. 365 Looked like a female kestral ;) Loved the articles on 10,000 steps a day. Reduced to 2500 to 3500. I love that. Just get up and move! or as many docs say - Get a dog LOL
LANI How interesting to be at that Morman funeral. LOL You stayed in your office and waited til TV was turned off. Smart move! ;D Pretty picture of the good night pups
CLYNN Cool tower you have for the kitties. Great shot on SWFL of all 3. I did notice Southern Il would be in the path of a total eclipse . How fun for Mom. ;D

We woke up to an inch of wet snow, and we had a snowy walk this morning.
I think Sadie is feels better, she needed to go out only once last night. And 5 times this morning.
and now the sun is shining on this blessed day. :)
Phyl, Good to hear Jim is feeling better.... KU ladies won... sweet Kestral.... I'm exhausted just thinking about 10,000 steps. I should have a step counter on me. LOL!
Clynn, sweet pic of S&S, is Harley around too? :-* ..... What a great pic of SWFL family protecting their territory together! :-*.... awesome about eclipse in Albion, and your mom is ready! ;D... great news about DN 17 :-*
Tsk ;D
Tig, how sweet of Camper :)
Lori, great pics and gifs of new Decorah North baby on this blessed day! :-*
Lisa, it was a sad service, performed by a sad minister and maybe less than 40 people attended. I've been in a somber mood ever since, thinking about my own mortality, family and I keep going in Mike's office and giving him a hug or touching his shoulder. He's starting to give me weird looks. LOL! Oh what a morbid mood it put me in.... I need a good dive into my beautiful Hawaiian ocean waves to shake this feeling away. LOL! I'll watch DN sweet new baby and my favorite cams for awhile.

LORI Thanks for D17 baby pic ;D Loved the tumble - good abs LOL Oh, snow, I sure hope they can keep that newborn warm..
Well I had an aerobic workout during that Marquette game...Had to watch with the sound turned off and crochet going in my hands LOLOL Sweet 16. ;D Northwestern plays tonight.
-
Good afternoon! Tsk that Marquette game was something! Wow! Watching Purdue now! NOt sure I can watch Northwestern! They have two injuries going up against power house UConn! Will make me nervous for sure!
Lani, I am sorry you are so sad after the memorial service for your friend! They are supposed to honor the deceased with a religious part that is supposed to discuss the soul being in Heaven, etc. the second part is usually about the person and their accomplishments , sense of humor, honor, caring, etc.
i listened to the high Mass for my dear friend and former neighbor Margaret, a few weeks ago and felt they did both things beautifully! I felt sad at the end because it brought to mind many reasons I Miss her! Greatfuk to have known her! These services should be about the deceased only.
Anyway, we all have to go sometime and you still have some work to do!
Clynn, did your mother get some chicken from Bone .gap? Hope most are excited about llinois BasketBall!
-
Lani I most certainly understand. . .
I discovered the power of those "just because" hugs. Keep giving all you can - even the sweet touches. Both of you get the dear message.
Sweet too how Mr. N is trying to protect his DNF while she's trying to keep their new treasure safe and warm while protecting the next little one.
Your choice of games is almost identical to mine. Thought I'd write this while at halftime. I do an occasional switch during commercials to keep tabs on tennis and drag racing, too.

Baz - You mentioned your sister arrived in Alexandria safely - is that where you live? I probably have missed something here! Hope you don't get such winds tomorrow (40 mph). Enjoy the basketball games!! :)
E4E, no, my sister was going to Alexandria, VA, which is just south of, and across the Potomac River, from Washington, DC (inside the beltline). She went there to visit her daughter and son-in-law, and her 2 grandchildren there, who are my Littlest Greatniece, and Baby Bro. I live in southeastern NC. It's windy here, but the highest wind gust I have noticed so far was 38 mph. I lost power last night, but thankfully it wasn't for very long. :D

Hypatia, Ancient Alexandria’s Great Female Scholar

Also:
This brilliant philosopher was murdered by a mob. But there's much more to her story.
In A.D. 415 Christian fanatics attacked and murdered Hypatia of Alexandria, claiming she was a heretic using black magic. Here’s the truth.

Years ago after 2011 there was a big snow in Decorah, mom had eggs or chicks and as I signed off I worried about all of them. In the am I. Got a coffee and tuned into the nest . The scene that greeted me was one of pure winter beauty but very scary! In the middle of the nest was a huge mound of snow! Being new to the eagle world I thought, omg she has frozen to death covering her precious family. In a few minutes, the snow mound lifted up and there was mom, shock off the snow, looked around and settled back down
I hope Mrs North does as well! ❄️ I think some of you must have seen this! Actually think it was winter of 2012. Back to the big dance!

this bridge I grew up on and still exists after being built in the early 1900's...I lived a few houses north of it on Overlook Dr. in Bloomington. It sits on the hill going down to Nine Mile Creek which empties into the Minnesota River....My old stomping grounds was the forests surrounding the Creek and River.
(https://scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/23376445_10212350512571876_5569107345950129408_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=B1wk2jTTj8IAX_QBVAd&_nc_ht=scontent.ffcm1-2.fna&oh=00_AfCd4cmV-00QtQF7zBAXbgVXs48t3Y_vGZSfWqWJMTwxLg&oe=66266676)
this is the accompanying Waleswood Estates...overlooking the Minnesota River. Stables, clubhouse, watch tower...All torn down before the subdivision of homes were built in the 1957-1960 era..
Marv Anderson bought the property and developed it all. He built his own beautiful "mansion" overlooking the bluffs and shot off the most fabulous fireworks on the fourth of July.
Course all we kids needed to do was go sit outside on the front steps.
Still visit the area, woods, and creek. Not so much since the Pandemic but will have to do so soon. Lots of bald eagles and wildlife as well.
I just love this bridge, it does nothing now and no one knows for sure if it had a function!
Memories.
Kb, Tig and all in that neck of the woods ... How's everyone making out with the snow in the Midwest ?
Side - Kb
I searched high & low for that stone bridge along Overlook Dr. in Bloomington, MN and could not find it.
I see a "modern" home in the bridge pic background, so I assumed I could see it from Google Maps Street View. ??
Overlook Dr. overlooks a fair bit of the Minnesota River however.
Could you pinpoint It's location on a map for me somehow as now you've put a map junkie on a mission. ;D
Speaking of pummeled by Spring snow my SIL in VT just called (after her power came back on) and said she got slammed with 25" of the March White snow Mud rapidly settling into April ice berms only to be followed by world renowned Gorilla Hair real world mud. :)
The mother ship conveyance is stuck :o in NYS tonight or we'd respond with appropriate provisions like wine. ;)
The aft winch crapped out.
Kopje and I bushwhacked a new route to the cabin.
Kopje was ecstatic with the unfamiliar terrain and the new critter tracks and scents.
Pip ye of little faith from A to B I've successfully navigated so many times your head would spin.
Pip has navigational skills way beyond mine.
Kopjes up tail and nose was like a compass. :)
.. you know where we are and we're totally cool .. raging wood stove suck's to be us. :)
Vt SIL mentioned that all of the Raptors on the back 40 have 'shaken it off' and are today emerging appropriately. 8)

BL - I found it right away on google maps...google maps won't let me copy the picture I have of it open in another tab, but the address is 2251 Overlook Drive. I grew up at 2132 Overlook Dr..
Unfortunately last google map driver drove in the winter so you will see it between two homes and in back of what could be described as a yard of snow..
It's been snowing here since early morning, and much harder now and into the night..
They say we won't be able to detect or see how much we will end up with as our temps are just below freezing and it has melted on the streets all day. Just now it's accumulating on the roads and my driveway.
I already shoveled about 3 heavy wet inches off my decks in back..
Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and then return to snow on Tuesday....a big mess.
Am happy I prepared to stay home for the next few.
Let me know if that doesn't work for you to find the bridge.
-
BTW when you find the bridge you will see Overlook Dr. makes a sharp right (west) turn....if you follow the road to the right or westerly on the left are all the homes that overlook the Minnesota River...and therefore relate to my other picture of the Waleswood Estates.
From the bridge going the other direction all the homes on the now right overlook Nine Mile Creek.
Nine Mile Creek and it's forests were My Home..
We made the paths going to the creek and along it as kids, there were none like there are now...made by the Scouts with some tar/gravel, and a few bridges..done after I left.
-
Lights are flickering and arbors are starting to bend over as I worried about....
Pray for rain I guess.
-
Thank you kb I got it now.
-
Nothing to watch at NN - Even bobblehead hasn't bobbled for a while. DNF got off the nest one extra time before turning in for the night. E17 must be dead to the world. Busy first full day for all both.

Phyl - The North Park Mall sure sounds like it was a lot of fun!! Without a doubt, we would have enjoyed browsing around that wonderful Crafts Faire! Still thinking of Jim and hoping he is feeling better each day.
Lani - So sorry that the celebration of life wasn't really a 'feel good' celebration. Sure it is always sad that a loved one has passed away, but there are stories & remembrances of the person's life that pick up your spirits! Oh no, Mike's teams not winning? As you know, I don't watch, so I don't know about the games.
Clynn - Cute pics of Sophie & Sam!! I bet they constantly are fun to watch!! ;D Thank you for Sue Bruhling's DNN!! ;D Hope your Mom got some of that yummy bbq chicken!!
Tsk - My mom is almost like Tim, she loves to watch Golf on tv!! She is not really into other sports, but I know she will enjoy the Summer Olympics!
LisaG - Hope you had a nice shopping day!
Tig - Camper is so thoughtful!
Lori - Great cam shots!!! Too cute!!!!
Karen - 'Yes' - agree with what you said to Lani!
Hi Puff :)
Baz - Thank you for the explanation! ;D A lot of wind in your area last night - hope it has calmed down!
Karen - I'm pretty sure I saw the nest that morning too!! I know I was definitely watching the cams at that time! :)
BL - Liked that you, Pip & Kopje bushwacked a new route ;D
Kb - You are prepared for whatever weather comes your way!
Og, Lori, Emy :)
Beakers have a good night - safe & warm.

Good afternoon! Tsk that Marquette game was something! Wow! Watching Purdue now! NOt sure I can watch Northwestern! They have two injuries going up against power house UConn! Will make me nervous for sure!
Lani, I am sorry you are so sad after the memorial service for your friend! They are supposed to honor the deceased with a religious part that is supposed to discuss the soul being in Heaven, etc. the second part is usually about the person and their accomplishments , sense of humor, honor, caring, etc.
i listened to the high Mass for my dear friend and former neighbor Margaret, a few weeks ago and felt they did both things beautifully! I felt sad at the end because it brought to mind many reasons I Miss her! Greatfuk to have known her! These services should be about the deceased only.
Anyway, we all have to go sometime and you still have some work to do!
Clynn, did your mother get some chicken from Bone .gap? Hope most are excited about llinois BasketBall!
{{{Hugs Karen}}} thank you. I did call my friend today to say hello and send her some tlc...God bless Margaret. .... great games today. Northwestern had a tough game.

{{{Puff}}} Just because :-*
Baz, glad your sister has arrived safely to spend time with her grandchildren.... I'll have the drink with Coconut milk and rum. Thank you :-*
Clynn, Congratulations to the Kalama Family, it's a great show, they've worked very hard for what they have.... I told my sister about it... Tonto National Bridge is a great place to visit.
Phyl, very interesting history of Hypatia... beautiful good night pic... Prayers for you, Jim and Miss Maggie.
Kb, Our day was snowy, rainy, sunny, windy, all of those things today. I think tomorrow will be the same way.... take care.
Karen, I remember that snow storm of 2012. I was so worried, but Decorah mom was awesome... sorry about Northwestern.
SED Eagles, I hope you had a good weekend. :)
BL, great music.
It was a great day for staying in and watching these great young men playing their hearts out.
All in for their team, school and future dreams.
Good night!

Phyl, what a sweet picture of mom North, she is certainly keeping that new baby warm and cozy,,, and we get a quick peak at DN17 in Amy's video! The Common Kingfisher and his mate are beauties! Looks like they are working on their nest? 49 here, high 61. Maybe more rain, and as most always, windy! And there are Mother and Father Goose! Love the GSB view, wonder if that is Newman or the new Lady?
Lani, yesterday was yukky here too, today will be better! Hope your day will be better weatherwise too! I also remember the Decorah storm of 2012, we were all on pins and needles! Coconut milk and rum, sounds yummy. I'll have to try it!
E4E, Mom and Aunt June got their BBQ chicken, they said the smell was so good, and so was the chicken!

Heading to 61 Light rain showers today.
KAREN Yes we sure do remember Mom Decorah buried in that nest and we were all so new to that experience. I agree and hope Mrs North does as well.
BL That is one heck of a lot of snow in Vt. for your SIL Hope the temps get to 60 and sunny today for her.. :o
PHYL Hope Jim doesn't try and go back to work too soon... ??? Kingfishers are such pretty little birds. 365 Cool screen clip from GSB
EAGLES I too am looking forward to the Summer Olympics ;D
LANI Look at those eyes in your good night photo ;) ;)
CLYNN So Mom and Aunt June DID get the chicken - Bet you could smell it a mile away LOL

I've been documenting how it looks out our door. I'm hoping rain comes this morning to wash away the snow on the back sidewalk so I don't need to clear a path for the mailman. Camper shoveled the city sidewalk out front during a brief lull yesterday. Too bad I'm missing the pool again. I'm conflicted. LOL.
Time to watch the church teaching from yesterday before I watch tennis and women's BBall. ::)

No snow here! 55 going to 75!
My heart hurts for Northwestern! Very bad first half! Think they went in afraid of uconn and never got a good rhythm going! Still have some favorites left in the dance!
Glad the chicken in Bone Gap was good! Your mom is a trooper. Clynn!
Phyl, don’t push Jim too much and hopefully get consults with the doctors and a good plan for him, going forward! Pats for Maggie.
Bl, a lot of sturdy, hardy good folks in the far North Eastern part of our country! As usual, the snow will melt!

TIG I see the Iowa women play at 7 PM central today on ESPN. Hope to watch that. I would miss the pool as well.

Good Morning Beakers
Well, it was a weekend of broken brackets - the men's brackets had no perfect ones left going into Sat. The women's bracket have only 14 perfect brackets left out of 3.25million created.
The men had 11 upsets in the first round and 2 in the second with all of the top 8 moving into the sweet 16 and 2 #3 seeds, 2 #4 seeds, 2 #5 seeds and 2#6 seeds joining them.
The women still have 8 games to play today to decide the sweet 16. In round 1 there was only 1 upset, but there was 3 upsets yesterday. Games start at 1pm today, so should be another entertaining day for those watching. Hoping that the 2 Iowa starters that missed the last game, can play in this one.

{{{Karen}}} hope you have a good day.
Tig, a good day to give yourself a little TLC too... good luck to Iowa! We're going to watch too, as well as KU women following.
Tsk, Do you have a busy week at the church before Easter Sunday?
Clynn, we're enjoying our slushy snow and rain, because we know it won't last long. The moisture is filling our reservoirs, little creeks for the wildlife.... pics of sweet D17 :-*
I like Pina Colada with light rum or Chi Chi made with vodka.
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-make-the-best-pina-colada
Kb, we had an inch of wet snow. It's starting to melt and the sun is shining. Hopefully, your slushy snow will melt too.
Phyl, seeing a Kingfisher in the wild is on my bucket list. I didn't realize they nest near creeks and streams.... thanks for RRP blog on little newbie :-* ... and photos of DN nest and Decorah Goose nest. What a devoted mate for mother goose. She's never alone at night.... and there's Newman.

Lani - pretty area in that picture!.
8.5 inches of concrete doesn't just melt in Minnesota..even though it's over 32 degrees.
Eventually it will.
In the meantime it's tough on the ol bod...my roof over steps was sagging so I took it off and had to move it.
Snow above the shop drips into the shop so I moved about 1/2 of it.
Neck, thumbs, wrists, shoulder in bad shape at the moment.
Bottom deck and steps left to melt.
Last year's big storm took a month to melt.

Lani - pretty
KB - I hope to attack some of it after supper, when temp. is high and wind and chance of rain low.

OLDGUY Didn't know Steve Martin sang blue grass. Then again I knew he played banjo. Duh Are you following Idol this year. Last girl Sunday night blew me away - my money is on her for top 5 at least. Sang Aretha. Maru is such a go with the flow kind of cat LOL
LANI Your neighbor is a good photographer ;) Yes a busy time for decorating. Extra help for Saturday to get the gym and church both decorated for Sat afternoon/Sunday Concurrent masses. Smaller stuff in between.

;) I know... "morning" ... ;D
Lani, what a gorgeous picture your neighbor took of your area! Just stunningly gorgeous! Is that rooftop in the picture your house? I adore Kingfishers! I regularly see male and female Belted Kingfishers diving for fish in my neighborhood ponds and waterways. I am so lucky that I get to see a resident Kingfisher diving for meals almost every single day in the retention pond just a few feet from my door. If I don't see him, I usually hear him, and then sometimes I can spot him in the trees next to the pond, waiting to dive for his next meal. They have such a distinctive call. There is another Kingfisher that I often see fishing from the trees when I walk to the kayak launch and dock in the natural intracoastal waterway with so many cypress trees around the perimeter. Belted Kingfishers typically nest in holes (burrows) they dig in the sides of banks along ponds. I have never found one of those - it's on my "I would die to see one!" list. I never get tired of watching or listening to my neighborhood Belted Kingfishers. I stop and watch every single time. :-* https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Belted_Kingfisher/lifehistory#:~:text=Nest%20Placement,gravel%20pit%20far%20from%20water . I'm so glad you're getting the snow and rain, for its much-needed moisture, and I hope it will help all the plants and animals, and keep your area safer from any fire. Piña Coladas are one of my all-time favorite drinks... mmm! I never knew they originated in San Juan, P.R.!! I saved your recipe for that - thanks! :-* We used to almost live off them in Miami ;D - especially at one of our favorite outdoor bar/restaurants on the Biscayne Bay waterfront, in "The Grove" - Coconut Grove. I wish I were enjoying a Piña Colada on a table by the water there in the warm sun right now!! :)
I hope All the Beakers stay safe and warm, and have a great day!! :)

Hi Bl & Lori :)
We have had so much rain in the past week (dry today), that we woke up Sunday to some flooding in our garage. We do have a drain outside our garage door, that goes down into a pipe and into the back yard, but it couldn't keep up. Kris cleaned it out (it was partly clogged). Today was a dry out day for our Mats & rugs that we took out of the garage yesterday. They didn't all completely dry, but it helped!
Beakers have a good night.

We've had a blustery day and for the past hour + thunder and 'growling' with some light rain.

Kb, great action photo of elephant... sorry for all the snow.
Baz, The photo is taken from an higher elevation in our community. We loved the way the fog was hanging over our area, everything white topped. Love the Kingfisher's sounds. You have a many beautiful and unique critters near you.
T40, good to see your post... thanks for vids, especially the loving cats. :)
Clynn, what a darling baby romper.... oh darling pic of the two little DNN babies. awww welcome DN18.
Lisa, Sydney will look adorable in that romper.
Karen, I hope E23 is not too far from his nest tonight... you take care too. :-*
Phyl, continued prayers for you, Jim and Miss Maggie, may you both have a restful night's sleep.
Eagles, We'll drive down to the valley and take Shannon out to lunch Sunday if she's not working.
Good night!

Beautiful flowers this morning! And thanks for Amy;s Blog!
E4E, Ed and I have had a few incidents with too much rain! When we lived in Springfield, we went to the basement one morning and there was about 18 inches of water in the basement. Then it happened again later that year. it was water coming up the drain in the floor. The next house we bought had water seeping in the basement, we had a waterproofing company fix it, and it was worse! And several years ago in this house, the sump pump failed. We had to rent a POD to empty all the stuff into so we could clean it all up. Half of our basement is finished, so there was carpet. We have had our full quota of water in the house!
kb, thank you for the crash report.
tsk, yes, Talon is all into weapons! When I let them pick out a toy at the store he always heads to the aisle with all the Nerf guns or swords! I think it comes from his other grandpa! He will probably shoot the Squishmallow bear I got for his Easter basket! Bella always goes for the stuffed critters and dolls, maybe she will rescue the bear!

Been watching the Bridge Collapse news since 4am this morning from multiple sources.
Nothing very new being reported in the last hour or so....we shall have to wait and see.
Of course my first thought was our 35W bridge collapse but not related in any way.
Sounds like mechanical issue at least on the cargo ship.
Course I looked up the bridge location right away to check on our Lisa, but not the same bridge.
However, it looks like eventually if it had made it to the Chesapeek Bay that in fact it might have had to go under her bridge as well.
Will wait till she responds to find out.

MORNING ALL
53 heading to 55 and some rain in the forecast.
EAGLES Glad it was the garage that had excessive rain and not in the house somewhere :o
LANI Would be nice to meet with Shannon for Easter if she is able. I know in the past she has offered to work holidays for those with kids and families. :-*
PHYL Nice combo of hyacinths and tulips this AM :) 365 busy little musk rat. ;) Thanks for Amy's technical blog :)
CLYNN WOW I'll have to turn on the TV. Our first house had major water problems in the basement - I hated it. Love the red headed woodpeckers

Wow, what news to wake up to this morning, that one of our major bridges has collapsed after a ship hit it at 1:30am! Prayers for everyone.
https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/03/26/key-bridge-collapses-into-patapsco/?fbclid=IwAR12vIicQGQ7tquLaUT-bGlQfbT362jY5ztMUgwCqjRBFQf7m25VWuHwBWg
Lani - Thanks. I hope it is approved by the Mama.
Phyl - Thanks for the 365 and RRP post.
clynn - Local news says, two people were recovered, so far. One refused treatment and one is in critical condition at Shock Trauma.
kb - You are correct. If it would have been any later, and the ship would have made it to my bridge. That would have really been bad. The people that cross the Key bridge have an alternate route to get around it. We do not on this side of the bridge. We would have to drive 2 hours to the top of Maryland, and then back down 2 hours just to get over to the other side.
tsk, E4E, tig, karen and all - Morning!
It's a big loss for our State...no ships can enter the port, no cruise ships can leave till that is cleaned up. Loss of revenue, as that was a toll bridge and will need to be re-built.
-
Lisa, the only good thing is that it was so very early in the morning and the traffic was very light. I think it would have been much worse it the ship had hit the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, no matter what time!

Prayers for families affected by bridge collapse. :(
Rain. Ice. More snow.
A pretty.
A progression...
-
LISA Terrible catastrophe!! Do you ever use that bridge?
TIG Nice progression of snow accumulation.
Quite a nail biter at times for Iowa women last night :o :o
-
clynn - I agree with you on that! The bridge maintenance workers do work at night on all bridges around here, to keep the traffic flowing during the day. I believe the local news said, they were looking for the 7 workers. If you watch the video of the collapse, you can see the work crews with their lights on up on the bridge as it goes down. :( They were also saying a tractor trailer was crossing at that same time.
tig - Beautiful flowers, and nice melt there!
tsk - I have only crossed that a handful of times, but not on a regular basis. My ex SIL uses it daily to go to and from work! She called me in a panic this morning.
-
sorry Lisa... not a melt, a buildup! ;) 8 inches compacted. And now 3 inches coming...
-
The news has suggested there should have been a harbor pilot on the ship besides the captain. The harbor pilot guides the ship into and out of the harbor.
So, I got to thinking how does he get off once out of the harbor itself?
Here's how: ...this video there is wind, this morning's collision was calm.
The harbor pilot and captain know what happened but I'm sure advised to be quiet till much later.
I still haven't heard how many crew members might have been on the ship...Certainly more than the captain and harbor pilot/pilots?
https://youtu.be/6reRWaPcqBk?t=1 (https://youtu.be/6reRWaPcqBk?t=1)
tig- Snow has been coming down hard and sideways here for quite awhile.
This after all night intermittent very heavy rain.
I imagine ice under the snow could make it treacherous?...at least on my driveway, LOL
-
Just tuned to FNC---MD Fire Chief holding press conference. OMG! So thankful light traffic /not Lisa's bridge. Nonetheless any loss of life is tragic!
🙏 's rescuers are in time! Can only imagine those 8 people in those fridged waters.

Same Fox station here KB. A little bit more info they mentioned. Crew on ship knew something was wrong and put out mayday. Bridge people on hand shut down entrance to both ends of bridge, not sure how many vehicles were already on bridge. Our fine Navy seals are already in the water doing what they can, finding whatever they can. Ship seen in video, the one they seem to luckily have and that they are always manning, show the ship's lights going off and on a couple times. Mechanical problem maybe? The missing people they know about and are looking for were working through the night filling pot holes. That must be the known missing. Governor talk/presentation was very well done, had authentic feel to it.

Yeah I'm watching any/all updates even now...after watching the video of the ship hitting the bridge over and over, I have to say I see vehicles crossing before but not during the actual hit. At least as much of the bridge on the video.
Originally someone said sonar showed vehicles in the water. Now, I'm questioning that. That would be tremendous if they actually closed it just before the strike and no vehicles still on that section that went down.
I know the 6 maintenance workers left unaccounted for for sure...
During the 35W bridge collapse maintenance people were also on that bridge at the time it went down. In fact, with that bridge that was part of the reason it fell down with the extra weight on top of a structurally deficient bridge.
-
tig - Oops, I thought your first pic was after the snow from yesterday.
kb - Jeff posted this to me on Skype earlier. The same vessel that hit the Baltimore Key Bridge on Tuesday, destroying it and sending people and vehicles tumbling into the water, was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.
Phyl - Local weather girl said, water temp was like 47° at the time.
-
Interesting reply from Doc on TV. . .46 degrees does not mean freezing -BUT That does mean the body's temp can/will go down 50 degrees - that's what is the danger. Never though about it that way. I don't like even 70 in the house.
Later - going to Saint Lucia. . .
P
-
This was a report Mardy sent to me that I thought was very good. She uses this bridge on a regular basis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZbUXewlQDk
-
Lisa 47F doesn't mean the water isn't cold and restrictive to movement and breathing, as per Dr. Mark Segal . Besides the drop from the bridge is about 185 ft +/- , that fall is almost always fatal as per Dr. Mark Segal stated on 'Outnumbered' FNC. Let's pray for a survival miracle.
Tsk so relieved Jaspurr wasn't there. That SOS the ship sent out was heeded by the mayor and traffic was shut down/diverted

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Returns But Misses LGL By 3 Hours! Feeds TF & Baby-sits TFT 💕 3.23.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvt5xlJDKrE
Royal Albatross - Mar 24, 2024
Dad LGK comes back home the same day as LGL (TF's mom) - just missing her by 3 hours! What a shame - their reunions are few & far between now with both parents out full time foraging for food for their chick. LGK sits down like he likes to do upon arrival and then slowly make his way over to TF. LGK gives TF a feeding, rests again and then walks over to sit with TFT and baby-sit :) LGK is a gentle albie adult and TFT is happy to have the company. LGK comes back to be with TF and give a 2nd feeding. Thank you for watching!

Howdy Beakers!
So sorry about the awful ship and bridge collision and collapse of the Key bridge in Baltimore!! :( Prayers for families and friends of the victims.
Yes, the job of a Harbor Pilot is extraordinarly dangerous! I used to date a Tug Boat Caption here, who escorted large container ships in and out of the area's port. I visited on their tug boats, and rode them in the river sometimes (shhh! don't tell!). 8) He was the person who, LOL, I've mentioned proposed to me twice... but I never accepted either time. ;) Anyway, I also spent a lot of time at the office of that Tug Boat Company, and got to know the other tug captains and crew, and also the Harbor Pilot, who worked with my boyfriend there. My boyfriend delivered the Harbor Pilot to the rope hanging down the side of those giant container ships, communicate with the other tugs and the freight ship while the Harbor Pilot climbed the rope to the deck of the container ship, and would pick him up when the Pilot was ready to climb back down the rope. It's a very, very delicate operation, with several tugs on both sides of the large ship, in constant communication with each other, and the Harbor Pilot in constant communication with the container ship. Climbing and descending those rope ladders was part of a highly coordinated and delicate procedure, with so many opportunities for accidents, so good working relationships, coordination, and highly skilled tug and ship operators were imperative! The tugs look so small next to those giant container ships, but, actually, many of those tug boats are very large!! It was kind of funny, that when I joined a very small gym, it turned out that the owner, who was my personal trainer back then, was the son of the Harbor Pilot who worked with my boyfriend! LOLOL! He and I discovered that after I had been working out there for a year!! One day the gym owner was doing some studying, and I asked him what it was (he already had a masters in exercise science), and he said he was studying to become a licensed Harbor Pilot, like his father. !! That prompted me to mention that I knew a Harbor Pilot in the area, by the name of "x," who worked with my boyfriend, and lo and behold! he said that's my father!! Then he asked who my boyfriend was, and he knew him, of course, through his father. Who woulda thunk it?? !! ;D ;D ;D
Take care, All! :)
P.S. It's been almost a week since I went for a walk. It's very pretty here today, so I'm thinking about a walk... maybe soon... maybe.

TSK, I missed it earlier - Thanks so much for posting that excellent video with the description showing the progression of events related to the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse after the container ship collided with it when it was leaving the harbor. I'm going to re-post that video here that you posted earlier. It's 6 minutes long, and lines up with the updated information on the TV reports now, too.
It's an excellent explanation showing the sequence of events, as known at that time, with the excellent description by a knowledgeable perosn:

BL - I found it right away on google maps...google maps won't let me copy the picture I have of it open in another tab, but the address is 2251 Overlook Drive. I grew up at 2132 Overlook Dr..
Unfortunately last google map driver drove in the winter so you will see it between two homes and in back of what could be described as a yard of snow..
kb that's one heck of a tree to the left of the driveway by the stone bridge. :o
It's not naturally occurring in that region I would think.
I'm not exactly sure what kind of Pine it is but I would hazard to guess it's from the time of the Waleswood Estate. 8)

very cool catch, BL!...I'll have to investigate if I can. I copied the pic and asked the group just now. We shall see.
At the moment I'm trying to deal with no city plows/salt in my neighborhood yet, no mailman either. And, I can't open the back doors...
Glad I don't have to go anywhere especially when I hear many other suburbs/cities have done salt/plowing since early this morning.
I dislike that I can't plan my days around this stuff when so many others can just go la di da.
-
BL - forgot to add:
Someone who just moved to my city from New Jersey posted today on our Community fb page:
Why haven't they dropped salt here...this is at 3pm in the afternoon after snowing on top of ice all day!
Important part:
She said they do in NJ.
I replied They do in cities from Minnetonka to Rogers....just not here.
I expect an onslaught of negative comments....just helping out a fellow New Jersian.
-
Phyl You also got info from Dr. Segal on temps. He brought up a good reminder. We have to remember we are more delicate than the metal bridge work. Wonder at what temp our bodies go into shock. Plus, as tsk mentioned, I also watched another replay only watching moving lights across the bridge, most of late vehicles traveled from right to left. The last 4 I saw, two looked like trucks, last two cars. Can't tell from the vid where the bridge ends out of the left side. A couple looked like they were very close between making it and not making it. They're using sonar underwater looking for metal. Can't tell without actually seeing the finds what they found. There has to be a lot of beeps between all the metals of the bridge, vehicles, and loaded trailers/cargo.

Plus, as tsk mentioned, I also watched another replay only watching moving lights across the bridge, most of late vehicles traveled from right to left. The last 4 I saw, two looked like trucks, last two cars. Can't tell from the vid where the bridge ends out of the left side. A couple looked like they were very close between making it and not making it. They're using sonar underwater looking for metal. Can't tell without actually seeing the finds what they found. There has to be a lot of beeps between all the metals of the bridge, vehicles, and loaded trailers/cargo.
P
Puff - Tried to find you a video of the bridge, so you could see what the bridge looks like. It has a long entrance ramp area before you actually get on and off the bridge. Hope you can view it.

Have a good night, everyone!

80 degrees for the high today! Still no snow!
Baz, love your story of your old flame! Watched a lot of tugs in Mobile and surrounding area. Had lunch on an Italian coal ship and the walk up the side of the ship was something!
Lani, thanks for the update on the Albies! Interesting interactions!
Lisa, good video. I think there is a similar bridge in North Mobile. It is a short cut off of I 65 to the east.
Rain expected tomorrow and cooler temps as well!
Have a good evening and seds

LANI All good on the albie front - thanks for the update. :D I think the "Cardinal" is a much better name for that acorn woodpecker. ;) ;)
BAZI Great story about the Harbor pilot/tugs and your boyfriend. You have a much better insight than most of us. Mozart was something else!!
BL Thanks for the different perspective on the stone bridge and now house and pine.
LISA That was a good video. From the perspective the news reports are the bridge looks like tiny sticks just falling down Incredible.
-
I read it's now reported there were no vehicles on the bridge when the ship hit thanks to heroic police officers who jumped into action.
Only the 8 maintenance workers were on it, 2 recovered, 6 assumed perished.
The sonar must have been picking up metal from the bridge early on.

NTSB and other officials holding news conference now on FNC. Exactly what I had feared and hoped not to happen. :'( :'( :'( :( :( :( :(
Praying The Father holds these families close and they Him.
My Dad worked on a tug boat on The Mississippi River in the late 1940's and early 1950's out of Ashland, KY tons of goods were shipped on those
barges . He'd be gone for days as they sailed up and down the Miss. Mom had two boys---toddlers, my brothers---and it all to do herself. Farm girls are good stock. ;)
Lisa I know you knew about the Key bridge height. :-* All I've done today is think hope and pray for those victims of the bridge collapse.
That's all any of us have done, I'm sure. Great video BTW
Lani love those Albies :-*; thanks for the report on the Royals, all appears 'good'; love that acorn woodpecker. We have the Hairy and the Red Bellied.
A pair of Hairys we've named 'Harry and Harriet'. :-*
Puff Dr. Segal is always right---the human body is the most delicate organic machine made. When I heard what he said on 'Outnumbered' this Am
my heart sank and I got teary. That water temp is fridged ---just 5 degrees above freezing. Still one can always hope---there is always 'Hope'.

Good Evening and Good Night Everyone...
thinking of those who perished today and their families. Still hoping someone is
still alive.

Phyl, the water temp was about 46 or 47! Think you were thinking about the air temp! Still too cold!
How is Jim? Did you get his appointments?

Phyl - Hope Jim is doing a little bit better each day. Nice warm temp even if you got rain!! ;D Thank you for all links! As what you said, I can't imagine how awful for those construction workers to have fallen into those frigid waters at 1:30 a.m. I am so sad for those lost and their families. :'( :'( Thanks for the history of your Dad & Mom and how your Dad worked on a tug boat.
Lani - That will be nice if you get together with Shannon on Sunday!
Clynn - Read what you said about water/flooding in your houses over the years, and I say that you have had more than your share of floods and too much water!
Karen - I too, was concerned that the bridge was too close to LisaG and I was relieved that she was fine.
LisaG - When I turned on our tv right before 7 am this morning and they were showing and talking about the 'Key' bridge, I was almost shaking as I signed into the Beak to check on you. Thank goodness you were fine!!! I am so sorry for the construction workers who were lost in that terrible tragedy. So very sad for All :'( :'(
Tsk - Yes, we are lucky our garage only flooded by up to 1/3" in the highest area. The outside walkway alongside our garage had at least 3" of water before going into the garage. We just had to dry things out, but at least nothing real valuable got absolutely ruined. Thank you for posting the report link from Jaspurr.
Tig - Love all the great pictures!!!
Puff - Sadly, what you said - that's about what I was hearing on the news. . . .
Lani - Like Royal Albatross! ;D
Karen - You & Piper have a good night too!
Beakers have a nice evening.

Sorry to learn there were no more rescues from the river in MD. :( Very sad. Prayers for their families and friends.
I finally got out to walk this afternoon. Walked 31 minutes. I walked to the marsh across the main street, the part where it is the big wide open area with all the tall, brown marsh grass, with trees around the edges of the marsh, and only a few dead and weathered ones here and there out in the open marsh area, where there is also the intracoastal waterway that leads to the river, though it's usually hard to see from the edge of the marsh because the grass is so tall. There were 6 Snowy Egrets perched together in a tall dead tree out in the middle of it! Very cool to see them all together in that tree like that. So pretty. Wish I had had my binoculars with me!
Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

This is our bridge that fell down in 2007.

No bounce
Aw KB. I just read this and broke into tears. That is such a a sweet thing. I showed it to Camper right away.
Y'all prolly didn't know, we have a connection. We both worked for MnDOT at the time. We were here at my family home to meet a man to sell the living room rug after Mom had passed the previous August. We heard about the 35W bridge collapse on the radio. Camper jumped into action as he was the department photographer. I dropped him off at work so he could get his equipment and a company car. But his cell phone battery was dead so I gave him mine. I had many anxious hours waiting for him to come home that night. And every week for the year of rebuilding he was there.. documenting it all.

Hug your loved ones...

Baz, enjoyed your story of your former boyfriend and insight on Tug boats/Harbor pilot.. .. It's a small world isn't it.
Glad you were able to get out and see 6 beautiful egrets. :-*
Phyl, thanks for sharing more of your family history...
Thank you Puff, Phyl, Kb, Lisa, Camper/Tig, Karen, Eagles, Tsk, for your news, your stories and insight.... sending hugs...
Oh kb, what a special thing to do to honor those lost..... this is all so sad and tragic. :'(

Currently: 39F clear feels like 36 High 60F sunny, Low 38F
Yes Lisa I know---the news conference yesterday FTSB announced that this would now be a 'recovery' operation. Sadly... All we can do is pray for their families. And, for a swift reconstruction and return to normalcy.
All the best at doc's today.
Karen Sadly, Now...All we can do is pray for their families. You and Piper take care.
Lani indeed a mournful eagle

PHYL You also have backround involving tug boats. I agree about farm Mom's - resourceful and sturdy. We have a downy woodpecker that must live very close as just about every time we look into the backyard, there it is on the suet feeder hanging on our big maple. What a cute picture of D17&D18 from Amy's blog That is a beautiful home in that one house town.
BAZI You have the best walks :o
TIG Thanks for that back story on the 35W bridge collapse in 2007. Camper was one busy guy for a while. What an experience.

Lani, haunting picture of the eagle looking at his reflection... thanks for the Royal Alby update yesterday, they are doing well, those big sweet birds!
baz, I would love to sit with you and just watch the critters you see around you, I would have a rum and coke and you would have your favorite...very interesting story of your old boyfriend! My first husband was from Albion, I was smitten when I met him, a soldier just back from 3 years in Viet Nam. I never ran into him in Albion after we split, but i did run into his parents. They were good people. He passed away in 2022, his Dad in 2021 and his Mom in 2020. I still talk to his sister...
tig, I remember when the bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, it was the news of the day. And you and Camper were right there! I bet he took hundreds of pictures, from every angle! Yes, hug your loved ones, you just never know when tragedy can happen...
There are conflicting reports about whether there were cars on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it collapsed. According to an internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security briefing, there were "no vehicles transiting the bridge at the time of the incident". However, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, said that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer. Video footage shows cars and trucks on the bridge as it collapsed. Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace says rescuers have “detected the presence of vehicles” in the water, although they do not know how many vehicles are there.
E4E, the one memory of our basement flooding is of my Cabbage Patch dolls, still in the box, floating in the 18" of water. I did a lot of crafts back then (late 80's) and it was all in the basement!
tsk, not only the survivors, but the people on the cargo ship...how terrible they must be feeling and are they still on the ship? I couldn't find anything about the people on the ship.
Phyl, oh that cute baby in the bunny outfit! Turkeys in the wild and the cutest little eaglets in Amy's Blog! Breathtaking pictures of Alaska in the article, will read later. Thanks for all the stuff! 26 right now, high 46 for today. And sunny! Tomorrow will be even better! Hope you and Jim are feeling better!

That is one beautiful specimen of Pinus sylvestris. (http://www.minnesotaseasons.com/Plants/Scots_pine.html) You can tell it has been well taken care of and shaped for many years.
It reminded me of a giant Bonsai Tree when I 1st saw it. :) 8)
Your childhood home area in Bloomington by Nine Mile Crk and the Minnesota Riv looks like it was outdoor heaven for you kids. ;D
Was the Waleswood Estate still there when you were a kid ?
Some MSP snow stats for you and Chris:
It's official you more than doubled your season snowfall over the past 6 days.
Up to 03/19/24 the season total was 14.3".
From 03/21 to 03/26 MSP received 15.2".
The new season total - so far - is 29.5" .. still below the season total AVG of 54.0" by 24.5".
I hope it all melts out for you swiftly come April. :-*

1.25 hours and $425 later, the roof is clear of snow and the sun is working its magic. Yay! I went out briefly to add a couple of zip ties to my fence gates rabbit deterrent barricades and clear a few shovels worth of snow here and there. I should be able to return to the pool tomorrow.
I watched a feeding at the North nest for a bit. And Mom Canada Goose is resting.

No the Waleswood Estates sold/bankruptcy?????I forgot..it was a long time ago, a different time, and Marv Anderson bought it just before our subdivision was built in the mid 50's to 60...
I believe some tragedies fell upon the Waleswood Estate family.
My home was built by Marv Anderson in 1958 when we immediately moved in. I was 6 years old.a first grader. Had my twin brother and a year younger sister.
However, I forgot, but there is an association with the Waleswood name to the curve our house was built on Wellswood Curve and Overlook Drive.
I did read all the historical information but it didn't all sink in my brain...just the gist of the history.
Nonetheless, I attribute my love of nature to the area I grew up in and also importantly the time I grew up in. We were allowed to spend an entire day alone in the woods if we wanted to.
I currently would hesitate to visit this area alone as an adult.
Yes, I hope it melts soon too!...My driveway and decks have 1/2 inch or more of ice under the snow.
Today I removed the snow on some of it to let the sun do it's job on the ice.
I think in the season of 2014/15?...or sometime not too far back in history we had a 27 or so inch winter.
Also a El Nino year.
Looking forward to spring, and maybe a walk in my ol neighborhood but with another adult

Howdy Beakers!
I walked 23 minutes today, after running several errands. It was a shorter walk than usual, but rain clouds were threatening, so I didn't venture far. False alarm on the rain clouds, though a nearby area had a shower. Widespread rain will move in here later this evening, and continue through a cooler tomorrow - forecasting 1-3 inches of rain before it ends tomorrow evening, with some places expecting 3-5 inches. Then a sunny and very warm Easter weekend, around 80 degrees. I bought a pretty red geranium for a pot out front.
Clynn, it takes a lot of sitting or standing and watching time to see what all is happening in the wide world of nature. as you know. People who can't sit/stand and watch, and sit and watch some more, quietly, alertly, with their head on a swivel, miss almost all of it. We could just hit the refill button, and stay put, and watch. Stuff happens all around! ;) ;D
Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

BAZI You're a better gal than I. Was too tired after two grocery stores and the post office. Opted out of my treadmill today. Tomorrow will be plenty of time. Brutal wind and colder feel to the weather.

Good evening Beakers!
Good reading today and BL, I am thinking I might plan a trip to Colorado and bungee jump for my next birthday! Lolol
Dr. hall she would give Piper a pedicure today! She. Stopped in kast night with 2 bags With pill pockets and drugs! One bag for last night and one for this morning! Pipers behavior was quite odd! Finally got to bed at midnight or later and dropped off to sleep with tv and ceiling fan on! Woke up at some hour and immediately felt hot! Aha! Ceiling fan off, cpap machine off and no tv! In less than 30 minutes. All was back on! This Morning I found that I slept through the. Weather warning call and a really bad storm! 75 plus mph winds driving heavy rain and hail! No visible damage here but a lot if damage a few moles from me! Straight line winds! Baz, is this the system you are expecting? Weather cooler in the low 70s for a few more days!
Dr. Hall had to give Piper more Happy stuff to do her pedicure! Got it done with a lot of squirming! Someone must have hurt her at some time as she really does not like it! Rain again this evening. Piper back o normal and we are iff to bed! SEDS

Baz back in the early days they could/would calibrate the bungee cord to your exact weight so that your head would hopefully come within about 20' of the Arkansas River below.
That was the "deluxe adrenaline package" as they called it at the time .. for extra $$ of course.
They don't do that anymore at the Royal Gorge that I know of.
I opted for the regular package where your walnut "bottomed out" at about 150' above the river.
It's sort of like sky diving / free falling head down at terminal velocity (between 150 & 180 mph) which is not foreign to me.
Free falling head down on the end of a rubber band is sort of like sky diving ^^ up until the reverse apogee recoil at the bottom of the giant rubber band .. the rocketing back up towards the bridge deck .. that is the gotcha moment that you know this is something different.
Whoa whoa and some more whoa that ain't nothing like landing by any type of parachute rig I've ever safely landed with 700 + times.
After you get hoisted back up to the bridge deck upside down and change your shorts you go and get a cold one and look to the next advenure.
Royal was not my first or last bungee jump.
It was my last one of that caliber however.
To get me to do it again would require just one person that jumped before me who knew and trusted the rigging situation.
That man that mentored me on all sorts of climbing, gliding and falling :'(
The real ropes of safety teaching to me passed peacefully of natural cause on the night of 03/26/24.
Freaky Clynn you pop up that pic this AM.
His daughter called early in the morning and by her # I knew.
We reminisced laughed and cried at the same time together as you all know.
I got up after hanging up the phone with her pondering.
Dusted off a very old bottle of Jack Daniels Black and took a hearty shot of it at 3 AM.
I hope it went down as just smooth with you as it did with me brother. :)
Just like the night after we voluntarily jumped off that perfectly good bridge. ;D

Baz- Sound like you have some good scenery during your walk!
Kb- That is a beautiful/loving tribute for the bridge with the Maryland flag colors. :-* I hope you get some real 'Spring' weather soon.
Tig- I did not know about the previous bridge until the news was going over the past history of bridge collapses. Thank you for telling the story of the 2007 collapse and how Camper was there to document it all. Was this the year you were referring to?
Lani- Touching beautiful BE. :-*
Phyl- How is Jim feeling? Good for you in looking after him and his medical appts.
Tsk- How is everyone in the household? ;D I'm sure you are busy as usual!!
Clynn- Oh no, what a story of your cabbage patch doll floating in water!! :o
Og- Thank you for links!
LisaG- Yes, I bet it was a sad feeling crossing your bridge today . . . .
Bl - Nice of you to give Kb the snow stats!
Karen - Awe, poor Piper! But she has to have her nails trimmed!! Hope she had a good nap afterwards! You & Piper have a good night!
Hi Lori & Puff :)
Beakers have a good evening & sleep well. :)

(((BL))), that's right singular that Clynn posted the Royal Gorge Bridge this morning. I'm so sorry about your friend and mentor. He must have been a very special person, who left quite a legacy, and indelible memories for you. Perfect song choice. Hugs. :-*

Tsk what a pretty Easter egg today
CLynn absolutely love that mason jar all done up in trinkets and charms w/ sun and moon ---I want it!!
Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, Colorado would make me weak kneed crossing it.
Lisa that croissant needs some red raspberry jam
Tig the article you shared is most interesting/informative, Tks.
OG there is little doubt that the F. Scott Key bridge disaster will impact the area, lives and trade for years perhaps decades
Lani oh goodie a Bear Study, tks;
BL awesome photos of ClLynn's ; so you did a 'bungee' off that bridge, :o Loosing your friend and mentor :'( :(

TSK, I can't blame you for not doing your daily walking today. You did a lot of walking without the treadmill! I only did 1 grocery store today. And you may recall, I missed about 4 or 5 days in a row without walking over the past week until finally getting in a walk yesterday. And it's supposed to be a deluge here all day tomorrow, so I had an extra "push" to get a walk in today, even though it was shorter.
Karen, wow! I'm so glad that big storm last night didn't crash down on your house the way it did a few miles from you!! You might need to turn up the volume on your severe weather alert system. Yes, that's the same system that's coming here, but it won't have the same punch it had where you live - just a lot of rain, because it's supposed to semi-stall for a bit here, and it will be windy tomorrow afternoon here, but only in the 30+ mph range - not like your 70+ mph straight line winds! I'm so glad you and Piper are okay, and Piper made it through his manicure. :-* P.S. I don't think your ENT would recommend your birthday bungee jump from the Royal Gorge Bridge, but, you know what they say, "Knock yourself out." ;D ;)
E4E, I'm lucky that I am surrounded by so much varied nature within a short number of paces from my door.
Sleep well, All.

Lani, loved reading Lynn's Bearstudy update, he is so gentle and so in touch with all the critters around him. I am happy for him that his patience got him a beautiful shot of the eagle swooping in for food! I think he was excited! Hope you and Mike are doing well...and all of your Furkids!
baz, glad you were able to get a walk in yesterday, don't want you to blow away in the wind today! ;D
Phyl, hope you and Jim are feeling even better today, and Miss Maggie too! Are you and Jim still getting along with one car? Saves $$$ if you can manage!
BL, great descriptions of your Royal Gorge jump! You are certainly a daredevil! The "deluxe adrenaline package" is a memory you will for sure never forget, I just can't imagine stepping off that bridge... ::) ::) Sorry to hear that your mentor has passed away, he taught you well...
Talon got his Green Belt!

Eaglet Growth and Development: Week One
'We’re writing a series of blogs about the first few weeks of an eaglet’s life. An eaglet spends roughly 75 to 80 days in the nest. For about the first half, it grows and gains weight. For about the second half, it grows flight feathers and starts developing the skills it will need post-fledge. We will focus on week one in this blog.'

I instantly saw a pi symbol!
Beautiful photo of an amazing mother - Risasi ("The Bullet").
With cheetah numbers plummeting in Masai Mara, this girl managed to raise her 2 boys (from initial 4) to reach 1 yo.
They still have a long way to go to reach adulthood but it`s a huge accomplishment.
Happy Thursday all...gotta get the boulders out of my way at the end of the driveway today..street plow ice that is..a foot high..so I can back out safely. Although my Jeep could probably bust through just fine.
I'll try a flat spade for a narrow path first

Phyl - Thanks for 365, and RRP post.
clynn - WTG, Talon!!!!!!! Love the pic of the DNN kiddo's!

Phyl All the tales of the Royal Gorge Bridge's sights (for which there are ???? no adequate words). You mentioned the weak knees, but no one has mentioned the weak stomach. And...
Also, no one has mentioned the tram that kinda like shimmies down the wall of the canyon to the bottom. I've done that a couple of times when younger - and not so smart maybe. Can't believe people do that.
Lani Thanks for the HI. Those were some happy doggies in the surf. They looked to be grinning. ;D

Good Morning! Had a calm night last night! Piper thinks the back yard is too wet for her to be out in but the sun is out and the wind blowing most of the humidity out of tge area and the 3 inches if rain or so will soak in, Easter will come and life willbe normal for some!
Congrats Talon! Keep tge picture, a good one!
Ditto Tsks comments on Dr. Rodgers. Beautiful fox!
Karen getsa oedicure this afternoon! She does nit need a sedative! Only for the shots in her back!
Phyl, glad to learn Jim has his own wheels! Have you been out spinning around town in your Kia?
Time for another cuppa ! Oh, tge financial problems of the Blmore Port do not stop on the East Coast! This port gets all the automotive business including farm equipment! Farmers and car dealerships willbe suffering! Oh my.

karen - Enjoy your pedicure today. Don't forget the hazardous material that is transported by ship, as those are not allowed by semi's thru the tunnels. :-\
Puff - Morning :)

LISA Pretty cheerful Easter basket this AM ;D
KB Couldn't agree more. Since Molly has been habituated let it return to its familiar life DUH

I got my driveway clear with the flat spade
My huge lower deck...hum, not so much. In fact none of my shovels can even penetrate a top layer. I left it since our first storm for a total of over 15 inches. with the rain it's solid concrete. I can open the door for Ollie. and removed some from my top deck.
Feel bad as when Ollie walks on it, he's literally on top of it, once in awhile poking through.
Reminds me of cutting my legs when younger babysitting at a house behind mine. Somehow through the evening a layer of ice coated the snow. think I bled so wanted to help Ollie. I was wearing a dress in those days.
Nada. This won't melt for a very long time...even with temps in the 30's and 40's...
That's why I always try to get to it right away. Was just too much all at once with rain and ice.
-
Lisa, there is no doubt about the importance of the port to the country and I hope they can clear the ship canal fairly fast! The bridge is another matter and I do not know what they will do about that! I was wondering if Norfolk could take any o f this! Problem is that I do not think all ports are capable, equipment, services and people etc to handle all kinds of stuff! A real mess.
The scope of this problem makes snow removal look minor!

One other downer this morning. . .Come on already Let the Magpie and dog live together!!!
And . . .
Yeahhhh! I decided not to toss the new machine in the garbage. There has been a new level of cooperation that we've reached. Maybe this will work.
BTW is anyone else here already using and well-versed on an HP Envy 11 combination? Just as an illustration. We all know how to turn it on - the button on the top row. (No longer at the left side top, now at the right side top.)
Finally gave up the first couple days. Search the web and Bingo! You have to turn it off on the bottom of the screen. Touch the Search key and on the bottom right of the inset is the x box to turn off the machine. Why and who thought that was a necessity????

KB this is a cool photo used by the travel company 'Ease My Safari' for promo on the 3day Maasai Mara tour. And, yes this hits ya
in the face with 'Pi'. ;D
Molly the Magpie should go back the humans and her best girl friend Peggy. Returning to 'the wild' would not be in Molly's best interest. IMHO
Tsk pretty English Angora rabbit
Karen took Jim forever to get the proceeds from his Publix stock options/sell off. I do all the weekend driving commencing Friday after 6pm to
sundown Sunday. And any thing I choose during the week. Those vertigo exercise are confusing as for me it's both ears/ sides. I'll figure it out---always do.
Puff glad you kept your 'puter'.
Lani Tsk's angora rabbit does look lots like a ST 'tribble'; nice digital wildlife flora. It would be so cool if that boat really was used by Him. :o
Fantastic BE at the bear study; that ham fat will help keep the raptor warm.
-
kb - Glad you made some progress with the snow removal.
karen - I thought I read that Norfolk is going to let Carnival use their port.
Puff - I had a feeling that subject would come up when a re-build comes along.
I have the HP Envy 6400, and I do not find it user friendly. The on/off button is around the back and on the bottom of machine. And, I like to see a button that says, copy, scan or print to press....not a lighted up button with arrows on it.
Lani - Thank you, and your morning pic is just as beautiful!

Howdy Beakers!
CONGRATS TALON!!
Many of the shipping companies who can't get into the port at Baltimore for delivery have already declared a force majeure, and will deliver their cargo to other eastern coast ports, whichever ones can handle their ship sizes/cargo. The ports in NY/NJ, Norfolk, Wilmington, Savannah, and, maybe others I don't recall now, have already arranged to take those shipments - some to some ports and others to others, of course, depending on schedules/requirements. The force majeure declaration by the shippers relieves them of liability for delivering other than where contracted, and puts the onus on the receiving companies to pick-up those goods at the alternate port destination and transport them to their final destinations. That's what I saw in the news yesterday. The port in my area has issued info that confirms same, and will be receiving some of those shipments. It doesn't mean there won't be interruptions to supply lines and timelines, but it is the workaround that's available at this time.
Rainy day here - lots of rain - the river will crest over flood stage starting tomorrow and last till Monday, but it doesn't look to be a major flood event, and won't affect me. Good news is the forecast total rain amount for me didn't develop, though we got a slog. The Outer Banks of NC has been taking a huge licking from the storm and the coastal low that formed and merged. Other areas around me got 3-4 inches of rain though. It's supposed to stop raining here around sunset, and clear up over night. Full sun and warmer temps will be here after today and through the weekend - yay!
I'm cooking a pork roast, and yummy stuff to go with it. I'm going to cook it today... so off I go to get it in the oven. I will get to have a really big, yummy, later, din-din tonight. Mmm! LOL. Then on to the basketball games!! My UNC Tarheels play at 9:30 (Eastern) tonight. GO HEELS! :D (fingers crossed!)
Have a safe and warm evening, All. Peace. SED.

PUFF You know darn well some folks have nothing better to do than rewrite the history our county was made of. :P Is your new machine a PC or a laptop? I'm guessing laptop.?
LANI Beautiful AM pic. LOL Dr Rogers didn't miss a beat - Got home from significant surgery and right away on to taking pics. He keeps putting ham out and that eagle will return. I gare - un - tee ;D ;D
BAZI I have the Heels game noted but will be in bed likely before it finishes - Hope the lead is a lot by that time LOL Good that you missed the worst of the rains.
-
baz - Enjoy your pork roast and yummy stuff. It sounds delicious.
kb - :D
Good night, everyone!

Laptop tsk. Last one was too. That's one reason I got back into the same thing - to make for an easier change. He ha ha
Let me add too. though. A waited for a while using a keyboard plugged into my dead HP for a while while the order came in and the tech could switch info over and find time in his sched. I was just getting comfortable with that difference. Now I got even more of a difference.
Talk about a learning experience - I did learn something in the process. I got a small stand/tray that sits next to my dinette; it holds my tea off to the side. It even has a raised edge on the outside to catch the next tea I spill while working. No more adapting!!!! This is my last computer.!

I'm just throwing out a wild guess - But I'll bet that more beaker votes come in with more for Iowa over Illinois?

Now let me tell you what also happened. My hand to God - I thought yesterday this might arise. On a noon news show just now they discussed the new protest to un-name the Key Bridge when it is reconstructed. He owned slaves. God help us.

I know of what you speak. And, it distresses me as well.

Yay for Illinois - One more of our teams today, Purdue. Hope they follow the trend.
Then there's our baseball losers. Made some big changes/decisions. IMO they need to worry more about getting a winning good team together rather than a new stadium. Winning brings in the crowds/$$$.
Glad to hear Lisa that the worst is over for you. Now we have to be concerned for E4E. We are a bit back to nice here. Sun and warmer reappearing is the reassurance. Finally improving with the nasty wind, too. Prayers and concerns for you both.
Plus I just have to mention a news report from this morning - California, 103 years old, veteran of WWII, in a wheelchair. Facing a $1,000 fine because a fence has graffiti. What in the world!!!! Things are sometimes disgusting and impossible to me; it's so obviously wrong. It's not the first time. And where is the family, neighbors, and friends?

Peregrine Falcons: Lifestyles of the Fast and Furious!
March 28, 2024 RaptorResource
https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/03/28/peregrine-falcons-great-spirit-bluff-lifestyles-of-the-fast-and-furious/
Egg-laying is just around the corner for our peregrine falcons! The earliest layers – Great Spirit Bluff is usually among them – tend to begin in late March, although egg-laying can continue into late May at some of our nests. So when should we look for eggs at Great Spirit Bluff? It depends on a number of factors, including territorial competition, species and individual chronology, nesting experience, and mating history.

Phyl, good 365, love seeing Mother Earth wake up after her winter nap! Eggs are coming soon to GSB!
Lani, so happy to hear that Mike has a wonderful 3 day weekend to relax with you and the Furkids! He will be a happy man!
karen, I love a good pork roast, with browned potatoes and gravy, and maybe some lima beans!
I slept later than usual this morning, maybe because I woke up at 3:30 yesterday morning and couldn't go back to sleep... It's almost time to go let the kittens out!

Some interesting postings this morning -
First we get an up close and personal look at the Newman copulation expose'. Is there no privacy? Pleeeese!
Loved your falcon presentation and facts Amy. And thorough - After ?? years there were things I don't remember hearing, reading, or knowing. Thanks.
Also, getting back to melting -- This one is for you KB. The Nature 365 contributed by Phyl shows the melting of the snow/ice at Jura in Switzerland. Is MN being punished for some reasons? You are made to wait much toooo long. :(
P
-
Puff - no not being punished.
It's just the nature of heavy wet snow coupled with rain for 12 hours on top of it, and then more snow.
this combination makes concrete literally....so, even with above freezing temps and sun, it only melts from the bottom up...that takes much longer.
It was crazy to get more than this season's total snow amount in 6 days...and being late March, ice and heavy snow are always possible.
Over the course of the 5 or more months of winter here we don't see consistent types of snow. We get fluffy stuff in late Dec/Jan, and the potential for heavier more moisture laden snow in late fall and late spring.
One must know how to best deal with it depending on which kind of snow and the time of year. Removing it from wood surfaces as quickly as possible for example vs. the tar driveway. The snow will be gone from my grass before the now concrete on my deck.
My shoulder is killing me now after trying to at least move some on the lower deck. Will rest it and re-attempt come Saturday and hope for some melting on the bottom of the piles.
-
KB Living in the Chicago area since about 1950 (?) I do know the meaning of "snow affect". Coming from Colorado I do know - and love winter more than the sweating of horrid summer. I call myself a snow person!
That being said, I already mentioned my confrontation with a solid 10-18 inch pile of snow with the hotrod in January. OK so it was instead a chuck of plowed ice. :( Took it in for some plastic surgery. All better! Never did that before. . .
Weather just now from TV - promising close to 60 today and then 1" size hail and heavy rain tonight.

Puff - Sounds like you have a safe set-up now for no spills. I believe that info is correct for Trempealeau nest. There was 29 days in Feb this year. :D
karen - Glad to hear that you are doing good with the vertigo.
E4E - Thank you. Are you all doing anything special with your grandson, Mom and sis this weekend?
Phyl - Thanks for the links.

Phyl- Yum! Your pork loin you had on Monday must have been a tasty delicious dinner along with your sides!! Too bad it is so hard for Jim to get those appts because of being booked up. :( Thank you for great links as always :)
Lani - Glad that Mike has the day off and you will have a nice 3 day weekend together! Hope Shannon makes it over and that Aly is doing fine. Yes, my mom & sis are planning to be here on Sunday. Enjoy your usual early morning walk with Sadie :)
Og - Do you have Sunday off?

CLYNN Tucson ( I'll never forget my father who said until his later childhood he always pronounced Tuck-son) so I always think of that. When my friend and I traveled to Tucson to see the desert blooms back in the 80's ( very few that year) I think we may have missed Mt Lemmon - would be hard to I imagine. We did considerable hiking sigh.
EAGLES Our school trip to DC was when I was junior in high school. We went to Kennedy's "grave" eternal flame. No grave site established yet. Very memorable.

My muscles ached a bit to be back in the pool and MOVING today, but it was a good thing.
TSK - we visited JFK grave in 1964 (when there supporting my Bro's drum n bugle corps at the World's Fair). At the end of the day security told us time to leave. About 20 folks sauntered down the hill. When we got there the gate was locked. We had to climb over a 4 ft. tall by 2 ft. wide (if memory serves) stone wall, to get out! And some of the ladies were in dresses.
HAGD all... and please remember ... we all have more in common than our differences. Let us offer grace to one another, rather than be quick to judge. OK. Off my soapbox and feet up on the easy chair. Keep looking UP. Hugs.

tig - well said, thank you.
eagles4- out of curiosity, I poked at the snow on my deck with a shovel....nothing, nada.
May not even be soft enough tomorrow. So, no chance to hurt my shoulder further.
Maybe by May ;) ;)

Please PM w/ 'Vietnam' in subject line and the following info:
First name w/ Last name initial, branch of service and the military base and/or countries deployed.
I will most happily modify my original post. And, update my template for next year. :-*

There has been a hawk (?) flying around the court during the Sinner/Medvedev tennis match this afternoon. Dangerous...

Lou i has died! What a talent he was! RIP.
Beautiful Good Friday Day here! Zz71 degrees and sunny with promise of a beautiful weekend and Easter Sunday!
Clynn, I love your artist criss in your morning post!
The Basketball tourney has had some great surprises for sure! I think it looks like UConn will win the dance but I am hoping for a surprise there.
Bought. Pork roast that is too big for me so after I cook it tomorrowI will cut it at lest in half and give it to my neighbor! They are on a goofy diet of meat, eggs and cheese! They are Looking good!
Bz, I hope you re not too sad about the .heels! They gave it a good run.

Kb, I hope the snow removal has went well. :)
{{{Baz}}} sorry, what a game! :( ... I hope you enjoyed your dinner, pork roast sounds delicious. I'll need to get one this weekend.
Puff, I understand what you're saying and it is upsetting for me too.
Alabama and ISU lost, both was a surprise to me. :P , congrats to Illinois fans
Puff, Karen, I forgot about baseball's opening day! Go KC Royals and AZ Diamondbacks! ;D ...
Eagles, Mike has been given tomorrow off, a nice three day weekend. Hopefully, we will see Shannon on Sunday. Aly is fine. Will you have your mom and sister over for Easter?
{{{Phyl, Jim and Miss Maggie}}}
Good night!
Lani, thanks. I was so sad for my Tarheels - losing by 2 points :'( ... to Alabama! Just an FYI... I think you meant to say that Arizona lost, not Alabama. ;) Arizona lost to Clemson! And Alabama beat my UNC Tarheels!! :(

Hello Beakers
This Tourney is in chaos ... 3 games out of 4 were upsets tonight - U Conn was the only favored team to win.... ::)

Oldguy, LOL! You got that right!! :o ::) Perhaps we're seeing a bit more college basketball team parity as a result of the tranfer portal. Bracket Busters for sure!

GOOD FRIDAY MORNING
BAZI :'( :'( :'( Is it Lil Punkin's 6th b-day today?
Remembering Lindawyo's heavenly birthday
TSK, congrats to Illinois winning last night. Your Marquette team plays tonight at 7:09 pm (Eastern), on CBS, No, Lil Punkin's 6th b'day is not today. She's already had and celebrated it. But thanks for the thought! :) :-*
-
Remembering our dear and fun LINDAWYO on her heavenly birthday, and her brother, (((LILBRO))).
-
E4E - Sounds like a fun trip for your grandson. :D
tsk - Our 8th grade trip was a trip to the French Quarter for the day, not something you would think a Catholic School would do. We visited Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, rode a streetcar, walked the French Market, and ate at Benihana's for our lunch, nothing I had not done before growing up in New Orleans!
((tig))
Lani - Pretty morning pic.
kb - Glad that you and Ollie got a lil walk in.
Puff - Thanks, will pass info on the anyone who needs it. :)
karen - I read that this morning about Lou. :( We finally had a sunny day, after two days of rain.
baz - Waving to ya! :)
Have a good night, everyone!

Baz, I meant to write "Alabama won and ISU lost", both were shocking results. I was going for Clemson ;D... sometimes my brain moves faster than my typing.
-
Waving to All the Beakers! :)
My pork roast dinner last night turned out sooo yummy! Good thing, because I will be eating it again tonight, and more. LOL! My team's basketball game last night didn't turn out great. :( :'( I will be pulling against a couple of teams tonight, and tomorrow. ;) ;D
I walked 50 minutes today. I took a long loop around to the wooded cypress swamp on the far side of the neighborhood across the main street from my nieghborhood, where the kayak launch is. Along the way, I passed 1 drake Mallard, 1 alligator, 3 White Ibis, 2 Red-Shouldered Hawks, 5 Canada Geese, many Pond Turtles, 3 cute Woo-Woos, and 1 cherubic 5-month old baby on a nice stroll with his dad. What a beautiful day! :)
Have a good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

baz, love what you saw on your walk! Woo-woos! LOLOL ;D
Phyl, thank you for putting together a list of the Viet Nam Veterans, I will PM you my Dad's information.... so thoughtful of you... Hope you and Jim and Maggie are doing well these days. :-*
tig, oh my, you had to climb a 4 ft gate, evidently they didn't check to see if everyone was gone! Good thing there were no wheelchairs!
Lisa, that is kind of odd, taking a class of young kids to the French Quarter for the day! Pretty bodacious! We chose a Senior Trip instead of a prom, we went to Gettysburg, Washington DC and New York. I would have hated to be a chaperone on that trip! I remember this one little pesty kid, we put him in the overhead luggage compartment.
E4E, Harley and the cuties spent a lot of time together today, we are getting there!
tsk, speaking of Tuc-son, someone on the news pronounced Chief Illiniwek all wrong but someone caught it and said it right. It gets me when people pronounce the s at the end of Illinois and Des Moines... If it's a telemarketer, I correct them before I hang up on them... ::)
Signing off for the evening, Good Night Dear Beakers!

PHYL Thanks for bringing that date - Vietnam Veterans day to my attn. Thank God for their service.
TIG Now that was a visit to remember when you visited Kennedy's grave site ;D
LANI LOLOL Wish my Dad could have seen that! Of course then we were still in the age of rotary phones LOL
BAZI Thanks I'll correct my notes. On your hike, where was the partridge in the pear tree? ;D ;D ;) That was once great walk. Would loved to have done it with you. ;) LOL so happy to hear someone corrects those telemarketers " Ill- i noise" :o ::) ::)
LISA I think more schools now are doing some sort of 8th grade trip --We did not have that in my era LOL You probably could have given the tour on your 8th grade trip LOL

Lots of 'Good Friday' images today. :-*
Tsk love your Good Friday! Tks for reminder on Lindawyo H. birthday. My dad would pronounce 'Tucson' the same. LOL
CLynn it's okay to sleep late---LOL I did too. So, you keep S and S shut up at night? Or do they get to spend days on screened in porch? How's Mr. Harley doing? :-* Awesome photo of Mount Lemmon Tucson, Arizona
{{{KB/Puff}}} you know your limits---but take care shoveling the snow.
Hi Eagles I'll try calling Jim'[s and my docs again on Monday. I had two docs I'm to see this Spring retire on me. So hoping I can get my PCP to
add this to my June appt. How cool for your grandson, a trip to our nation's capital---District of Columbia is a whole nuther country of it's self.
{{{Tig}}} your words are wisdom to be followed :-* And, a good caption for KB's sunbird; tks for info on Arlington's gate and walls. ;)
Lani lovely grapes; so glad Mike will be home this long weekend
KB enjoyed your Forked tail Sunbird drinking some nectar. I like Tg's caption
Puff tks for ATF info. I posted it in BirdCam General Information, Announcements & Forum Issues

Good Night Everyone...SEDs. 🙏 's

No high school or grade school trips except for the field trips in grade school like a day at the museum of science and industry and such! There were about 1000 in my high school class! Who would chaperone? Lol
Let the games begin!
Love DC and surrounding area!
Viet Man was quite an experience. Completely different place now? The Wall is daunting but the Korean Memorial is something else. Is there a day to that war?

As far as I can tell... It seems South Korea celebrates their own ' South Korean War Day'.
See: https://www.bing.com/search?q=korean+memorial+day&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN
I'll add that person/s to the Vietnam Vet's Day under heading 'Korean War". Until I can figure something special out. ;)

Tsk, Sorry about the game!
-
(((BL))), that's right singular that Clynn posted the Royal Gorge Bridge this morning. I'm so sorry about your friend and mentor. He must have been a very special person, who left quite a legacy, and indelible memories for you. Perfect song choice. Hugs. :-*
Pip, Kopje & I stood on top of Popolopen Torne today and just smiled for our friend ..
.. sketchy up just as down you would have liked it .. Kopje thought he was an ibex. ::)

Tsk - My one and only big memorable school trip was the Senior class overnight trip to Disneyland! We all went from our HS in several school buses and arrived in the evening at Disneyland, and then loaded back up after a few hours to head back home!
Lani - So nice that there was a nice sunrise when you were walking Sadie early this morning. Thank you, yes, looking forward to a nice & quiet Easter weekend.
Puff - That is so nice of you to help folks make their ATF reservations. You sure provide a lot of good info! :)
Karen - Yum! I bet your pork roast turns out very delicious, and so nice of you to want to share with your neighbor!
Baz - Awe, bummer for your Tarheels. To lose by only 2 pts really hurts! Sounds like a good walk!!
LisaG - Interesting about your 8th grade trip! ;D
Clynn - Nice heavenly birthday remembrance for Lindawyo. Happy that Harley is getting used to being with S&S and maybe one of these days you might them all taking a nap together! ;D
Phyl - I wish you good luck in trying to set up Jim's appts. :)
Og, Lori, BL, Tig, Kb :)
Beakers have a good night.

Thanks Phyl Thanks E4E Time to get out the word.
Found out last year that quite a few didn't know anything about the pre-arranged rooming. I've been doing my little bit for about 10 years now. First, there isn't a big supply in the small town. Second, I got caught myself looking for where to go and what to do the first two years. And, talking to others last year I discovered the word wasn't getting out. Not only is it convenient to know there's supply, and it's not much but helpful to save some money with the lowered cost. I've suggested to those who want to contribute in some way that they can donate $ saved to Raptor Resource. It's an easy thing for me since it's my vocation for 30+ years. Not a biggie - Glad to help.
Since I don't do Facebook or X or youtube it would be fine and very welcomed if y'all help. I'll be making a couple other contacts to some others who might help spread the word.

Quickly---
Every year I've been meaning to post this. Anyone who has a relative or friend, etc. who served in Vietnam and would like to be included in my tribute to our Vietnam vets.
Please PM w/ 'Vietnam' in subject line and the following info:
First name w/ Last name initial, branch of service and the military base and/or countries deployed.
I will most happily modify my original post. And, update my template for next year. :-*
I have an appt late today so it will be in the evening before I can update.
After all, this isn't all about my family.
{{{Phyl}}} what a loving gesture, thank you.

{{{Puff}}} Thank you for all you do for ATF!
Karen, LG was a great actor, I enjoyed all his movies.... I agree, it looks like UCONN will win it, but there's still a chance for another team. NC state is playing tough.
Oldguy, I agree, Houston lost it was a tough game! ISU lost... WOW! Big 12 is out! I thought for sure Houston would make the Final Four. Thanks for links, I'll watch the updates.
Tsk, Sorry about Marquette. My bracket sheet is such a mess. :(
Phyl, The vineyard and the light .... Tennessee won over Creighton!
{{{BL, Pip and Kopje}}} beautiful view from an honored place. Thanks for music. Love Smoky!
Clynn, beautiful post for Lindawyo.... good news about Harley and his siblings. :-* ... What a special senior trip... we didn't have special trips other than sports events during my highschool years.... I watched Renovation Aloha last night, my sister lives in Mililani where the newest episode was made. I had Mike watch the first episode of the show ( on Discovery +) with me today.
Eagles, What a fun senior trip... I've never been to Disneyland or Orlando. Been to Six Flags! ;D
Good night!

Fast-forward to a shallow stream 15,000 years ago. Suckers are making their way upstream to spawn. Suddenly, an eagle swoops down and hooks one to bring to his waiting young, who are clamoring hungrily in the nest above. Dad has food. His legacy will survive into a future he can’t imagine.

Good Morning! 46 degrees going to 76 this afternoon. 81 Monday! Yikes! Going back down to the 60’s later in the week! Illinois vrs UConn this evening! Illinois is a big team but I do not know if they can beat these East .coasters! Been praying about it! Going to put that chunk of meat in the oven! I am tired of it and it is still in the refrigerator, raw! Not really the kind of roast I wanted! No big deal and Jackie will do something with it! Lol. Oh, I have always said, there is no noise in Illinois when folks mispronounce it! Donot know that it would work for Des Moines or Des plaines. Have a good day! E 23 still hanging around home, learning to hunt and enjoying a bath in the pond and swooping the ducks! Mamma finch still in the nest! No baby heads visible to me!

Phyl, love watching geese in the water... Amy's Blog, good as usual! Interesting White House Easter Egg Roll video! We are at 40, high 60 today. Do you know if you have any Bluebird eggs yet?
Lani, Sophie is winning Harley over, she just won't give up making friends with the Big Orange Guy! She gets as close to him as she can! Harley was upstairs most of the afternoon and evening and it's going well! They all spent a lot of time on the deck yesterday, today won't be as nice as it was yesterday. They all love to be on the deck, it's like going to the movies with all the birds, squirrels and chipmunks around the feeders! So glad you got to see Renovation Aloha at a place you know! I love that the show has a lot about history and family traditions, love learning more about your birthplace! I have been to Six Flags in Missouri, is that the one you have been to?
oldguy, great views of the Iceland volcano, the flowing lava is mesmerizing... If you didn't watch the TV series Bones you wouldn't know that Billy Gibbons plays the part of Angels's dad. He has several appearances on several episodes!
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.f1f679448a71c6d8d42bc6822697e15b?rik=wl1z0Vp4wmANuw&riu=http%3a%2f%2fimages.fanpop.com%2fimages%2fimage_uploads%2fThe-Wedding-angela-and-hodgins-667538_400_267.jpg&ehk=Dwl8nSsnMxlCQL%2bD06z39CnmJceuQFPZkl25ZIZNLTc%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0)
E4E, yes, hopefully it won't be much longer until Harley and Sam and Sophie can all be together all the time! I still have to figure out the feeding situation though, Harley loves to get a chance to eat some the Kitten Chow! And he doesn't need it, not only because the Vet said he could stand to lose a little weight (fat chance of that) but because his dry food is prescription and very expensive and it is moderate calorie and what he needs! They all get a small can of wet food each day, half in the AM, half in the PM. And treats!
BL, I found a video of your hike! Maybe you and Pip are in the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWQ68zfa_48
tig, we went to Arlington when we were in DC on our Senior Trip. It was very beautiful, I remember seeing a headstone of a friend and her father. the family lived in the housing we lived in, she and her dad were killed in an automobile crash, both buried in Arlington. What were the odds of that... The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, very sombering...

EAGLES Sure hope no one got lost on that Disney trip LOL Must have been like herding cats for the chaperones LOL
OLDGUY Thanks for the time on Iowa game today. Boy, that is some volcano. Can't believe all those people standing there. Old General - such a regal cat. Skinny legs, out pointing front toes.
LANI Has your sister seen the new house in Mililani? or the crew working/filming? I've never been to Disneyland either. Good night pup ;D
PHYL Some good videos in this bunch from Amy's blog Thanks Man and black and white cat LOL
CLYNN What a cool hike - Thanks for finding that. Goblin Valley - good name. I've never even seen pics of that.

Just heard interview of chapel director for family of Officer Johnathan Diller. It's reported that family met with President Trump in a private room. Grandma approached him and asked for a hug. You know how I feel about hugs. They had the whole room in tears. President Trump also signed a mass card for Grandmother.
Going to be a rough day for them all. HUGS HUGS for all, and more HUGS :'(
Oh, and where was the other guy? Doing PR for $$$$$$.

clynn - Your senior trip sounded like fun. LOL, pesky kid!
tsk - Yes! I could have given that tour. :D Awww, love the pic of Lulu on Tim's lap.
karen - Wow, that was a big high school class!
E4E - The interesting thing, the principal came with us...Sr Elaine. When the school year was over, she left the sisterhood. Guess she had too much fun in the French Quarter that day! ;D
oldguy - Thanks for the videos. :)
Lani - Good night pup, adorable!
Phyl - Adorable morning, How ya doing kitty! Thanks for links.
Off to do some shopping....be back later!
-
Maybe a little too political this am, Puff !
Tsk, Lulu looks comfortable! Lol. Looks like Tim cannot move! At least that is who I think that is!
Yes, says Lisa!
I have been to Disney World several times as an afult and enjoyed it! No rides but the plantings and flowers were spectacular, the place was immaculate, the Christmas lights said to be amazing! I would recommend a day at least!
Meant to mention Lani’s goodnite pup! He has been here before, quite a wardrobe and absolutely adorable! I want him!
Roast in the oven! Hair curled and the day underway!

Sorry Tig, I did read wrong! I have happily amended my post!

BL - just for fun, I found this layout of the Waleswood Estate Property online.
My house was built across the street from now Life Church at the very top of this pic.. Was an elementary school before a church nestled in the woods. At 9 years old I walked across the street to the excavators ripping up my woods and asked them to please leave all our forts when they were preparing for the school.
The stone bridge would be and still is above the Words Waleswood Estates at the sharp turn/curve of Overlook Drive.
-
The first time I got to Disneyworld, 25? , I stood on Main street looking at the castle and cried. Ton gave me a hug. I watched over many years while they actually built it and expanded it. I'll have to check things out for myself about the "reorganization" of all things Disneyworld. They're trying, many new programs and constructions being done. Two fav memories of mine: We once ran into Mickey on a back path all by himself. He got on his knees and kissed my hand. I threatened Ton with bodily injury if he blew the pic! I have that pic. Second super memory was watching the parade - on my birthday trip to Disneyworld. If you know about it and make the prearrangements, they do help you celebrate. So when you get to your room, there's recognition, and there's the large "Happy Birthday" button you get to wear. The "cast" of workers is well versed on watching for that button and giving special treatment of some ilk to the person wearing it. Maybe just a pencil or a free little ice cream. . . .I still remember when, during the parade, someone on the float being a Prince, and being miked, pointed and wished me Happy Birthday. The others around me, watching the parade, started singing Happy Birthday to me. Happy memories. . .Love the Mick.
Been there a few times, you can imagine. Truth be told - my final plans say part of my ashes will be by the statue of Walt and Mickey in front of the castle. On a whole different level, for those closer to Disneyland, I enjoyed Knotts Berry Farm more than Disneyland. No comparison. In CA there's also Sea World, Huntington Beach, and the San Diego Zoo. Winner to me is Disneyworld. You know Walt was from south side Chicago?.
P

KB I hope some of that sanctuary has survived. Was a loverly spot to grow up.
The drone craze gave me views and thoughts recently. Took pics for Tribune article showing a couple locations of neighborhoods in Chicago - then also showed my small town, about 8 miles from city line. There are basically few to be found trees even in residential areas of Chgo. Talk about the quality of life! Progress? Somewhere I decided I wanted different, I wanted better, better for so many reasons.

Puff - I've been to all of the above in CA many times...but, never to Disneyworld in FL.
I do now wonder if my first ride in Disneyland, 8 or 9 years old, I got scared....and never again in life liked to ride roller coasters!....LOL...I am not sure if the ride in Disneyland was actually real scary but nevertheless.
San Diego zoo is one of the best I think...whenever anyone visited me when I lived in CA I of course took them to as many of the above venues as I could....I took Chris to Knox Berry Farm before he was even 1 years old so I doubt he remembers.
When we moved back home to Minnesota I took Chris to Nine Mile Creek/MN river bottoms, my old childhood haunt, so many many times....the area in my picture of the old Waleswood Estates..The creek is barely visible but it drains into the river and also is app 9 miles north of this picture.
I walked through the woods by myself when I went to Jr. High School as well.
Twas lovely.

Clynn, glad to hear Harley and siblings (especially Sophie) are spending more time together and enjoying patio too.... I'm sure it's comforting for you too, to have them all being part of your family's everyday life. :-* ... that feeding situation is a hard one.... Utah has many beautiful places to see.
Karen, thanks for E23 update, glad to know for him "Life is good." Right now, DadM15 is eating his leftover fish, while E23 is above on top branch. Enjoy the day!
Phyl, thanks for RRP blog update with great pics of feedings.... serene nature video.... thanks for Easter history.... gorgeous Lion!

Lani Some times it hard to think positive and value our lives. Those bad days seem to happen too often and stay too long. But on a whole, thinking and writing and talking about our lives. . .It's been pretty good. ;D We are still in the race - give me some water!

BAZI Thanks I'll correct my notes. On your hike, where was the partridge in the pear tree? ;D ;D ;) That was once great walk. Would loved to have done it with you. ;) LOL so happy to hear someone corrects those telemarketers " Ill- i noise" :o ::) ::)
TSK, notes? Maybe you're referring to Lil Punkin's b'day... I have never said when her birthday is, on purpose, for her anonimity and privacy reasons. Same reason I've scrubbed out identifying info from photos of the kids, and have never said my family members' names. Some people are not trustworthy. :( LOL, no partridges! ;) :D :D
-
(((BL))), that's right singular that Clynn posted the Royal Gorge Bridge this morning. I'm so sorry about your friend and mentor. He must have been a very special person, who left quite a legacy, and indelible memories for you. Perfect song choice. Hugs. :-*
Pip, Kopje & I stood on top of Popolopen Torne today and just smiled for our friend ..
.. sketchy up just as down you would have liked it .. Kopje thought he was an ibex. ::)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbdU9gXeF7w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpji_od1JT4
BL, nice way for you and Pip to give tribute - on top of The Torne. Maybe Kopje remembers past Ibex days. ;)
-
LISA You were able to get a cat and Easter in the same photo ;) LOL Sr Elaine had too much fun in the French Quarter..." LOLOL
KAREN Disneyworld I have been to twice and that was enough LOL So much continues to be added that you would need another whole day to see the new stuff. I bet that roast will turn out just fine despite it wasn't what you ordered.
PUFF Great memory of your favorite times at Disneyworld. I was at Knotts Berry Farm but have no memory of it. Think it had to be in the 70s You are very inspiring to say the least... :-*
KB You time in Calif. was a good place to be to take friends to all those great locations. I think the San Diego Zoo is one of the best in the nation?
T40 YAY You are back ;D Cow butting the kitty off the ledge. Pizza stealer :D Scariest cats on the planet was good ;D :o
Brain freeze in cats - Who knew LOL The last one with those baby kitties was my fav. ;) " Howard Be Thy Name" LOLOL Puppies learning to howl - be careful what you wish for LOL
-
I walked 42 minutes today. It's a beautiful and warm day! :)
Lani, wow on what you saw on yesterday's walk! I think Houston would've won if their major player hadn't gotten hurt in the first half. That's when the game turned. You know how I feel about the team that beat them! ::) :P
TSK, awww... look at sweet Lulu - loving her dream time in Tim's lap. :-* Sorry about Marquette.
Lisa, LOL on Sr Elaine and the French Quarter!! ;D ;D
Karen, I hope your roast turns out tasty. I agree with you, that post was too political, and doesn't belong anywhere in the RRP Forum!! There are rules about that, and we know why. There are appropriate places for political opinion, but nowhere in RRP's Forum is it appropriate to express them!
-
karen - I have never been to Disney. I would love to go one day, maybe when Jeff retires.
Puff - I would love to go to Disney in CA, too.
Lani & baz - ;D
T40 - Welcome back to Caturday! Thanks for the videos.
tsk - Sr. Elaine was a hoot!
kb, tig, and all - Afternoon :D

T40, some mean cats in some of those videos, glad it ended with sweet kittens... ;D ;D Great dog videos too! Thanks!
Lori, lots of good cat stuff for Caturday! How are you and Destini doing these days? Hope you are both peachy!
Lisa, Mom says we went to Disneyland when we were stationed in Phoenix but I don't remember much about it. Ed and I drove to Florida way back, we went to Epcot instead of Disney World, it was wonderful! You don't hear much about Epcot, it's all about different countries and their food, etc.
baz, I know you never gave us Lil' Punkin's birthday but for some reason I think you maybe said it was in April. I remember thinking she was only a couple of months younger than Bella. Good for you walking a good one again today! And I totally agree with you, political comments are uncalled for in the Beak. Causes nothing but hard feelings... And I now have some...
tsk, love the picture pf Lulu on Tim's lap! Sam and Sophie are snoozing, they played quite hard on the deck earlier, Sam was chasing his shadow, it was so cute! I do remember Knott's Berry Farm, sometime in the 60's!
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/89/6b/ae/896baeb8eb888167ae160b04efbf2ce9.jpg)

Clynn - Bella looks like she enjoys washing dishes. Ooo, I think I would like Epcot. Aww, Sam & Sophie.
Lori - Great Caturday pics, love that last one on break time 😂
Have a good night, everyone

Lots offunny Caturday jokes ! Have me laughing! Thanks!
Bl😀
The pork roast was ok! Giving most of it to my neighbor!
Kitchen cleaned up!
Watching Illinois! Lisa, Epcot is interesting. But I think you would love a half day at Disney world! If I were going again I would go when the Christmas lights were up and before kids get out of school for the holidays! Half time almost over! Next up, two big football schools play each other in bB! Lol
Oops! Think the Illini went home at the half!

Lots of good Caturdays...
All this reminiscing about attractions in California--- reminds me of all I've seen and done in my home state...the natural wonders in the great redwoods and Joshua Tree Nat'l Monument only few miles away from my childhood home. Disneyland when my parents chaperoned Larry's Senior Class trip; Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park; Knott's Berry Farm, San Diego Zoo; SeaWorld to name a few. Seen lots in Florida The Manatee park, DisneyWorld, Tomorrow Land and Epcot, Universal Studios, Orlando, Thomas
Edison's house and Earnest Hemmingway house, Key West, of course Miami and Miami Beach. And many points in between in many states. We've all been to lots of places and have lots of great memories to treasure and share. Thanks.
T40 nice to see you and back in top form ;)
Lani cute pooch glad he decided to snooze with us again; sweet Russian Blue having a bath.
{{{CLynn}}} Goblin Valley State Park in Utah :o; tks for update on Sam , Sophie and Harley ; cute snaps of Talon/Bella, Sam/Sophie
Tsk oh goodness---that rabbit and 'mini chocolate eggs' ; and there's Lulu making herself comfy on Tim's lap ;)
{{{Puff}}}no doubt it is going difficult for Officer Johnathan Diller's family during the wake and in the future---how wonderful there was such amazing and loving support shown by so many ; like Lani, thinking about you this Easter.
Lisa Epcot/Disney World was such fun when I was there in the mid 1990's and again in 2009 when Jim and I visited his late sister Jane;

The gray fox is the only canid native to North America with the ability to climb trees? With semi-retractable hooked claws, this #fox looks for food and avoids predators by ascending the tallest of trees and jumping from limb to limb.
Happy Easter sunrise from my house to yours!

Lisa, cute Easter Bunny! I have Easter baskets for the kids, I am sure that you have one for Sydney too! Squishmallow bunny for Bella, weapon for Talon! Women are the peacemakers! We choose Squishmallows over weapons!
Phyl, beautiful Easter picture... Cute little black caps in the 365, sounds like Spring!
Lani, have a wonderful day today, hope Shannon is doing well!
E4E, yes, the Munchkins are cuties, but boy, Bella can make a hot mess in record time! She decided on drawing yesterday, she drew a bunny!

LORI I loved the Caturday kitties helping with chores ;D
CLYNN Nice to get some help with the housework Saturday ;) ;) Loved the cat cartoons ;D Chess ::) So you did end up with a weapon for Talon LOL Bella's handsome bunny ;D
PHYL Happy memories. Good to do when young and healthy! Black caps ;D Heard the cuckoo in the backround 365
LANI Good night kitty :-*
KB Beauty of a sunrise - perfect for today. Interesting about the gray fox
LISA Epcot for me was preferred. More educational and adult. LOL

kb - Pretty Easter sunrise from your house.
clynn - You went with the weapon, too funny. Good job, Bella on the bunny drawing!
tsk - I think that is one reason why Jeff has not been too keen about going to Disney. He doesn't think it is for adults. Will have to tell him what you said. :D
Lani - Adorable bunny in her bonnet.

Good morning Beakers and Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, Afternoon! Beautiful Day with abundant sunshine and gentle 80 degree breezes!
Good to see you here Pauli! Cheers to al the cheerios too!
Missing an Easter Lily this year! Bought them for many years and planted them in the yard. They came up in the spring for several years!
I kept about a half a pound of the pork roast and gave over
8 pounds to the neighbor.
Lani, love the Easter Bunny in her Easter Hat!
Clynn, you have to subscribeto watch the service. Lovely cathedral though!

The gray fox is the only canid native to North America with the ability to climb trees? With semi-retractable hooked claws, this #fox looks for food and avoids predators by ascending the tallest of trees and jumping from limb to limb.
Happy Easter sunrise from my house to yours!
Very interesting kb. I had no idea Gray Fox were such good tree climbers.
I've seen many in the wild but never up in a tree ! :o
I'll have to keep my eyes looking up more now. :)

LANI Your AM bunny is so cute and ready for the Easter parade. :D
HI PAULIE Happy Easter to you as well. :-*
Tennessee gave Purdue a run for their money. Good game.

Happy Day, Beakers. :)
I walked 33 minutes. It's sunny and very, very warm here - another beautiful day. :) I could've used a longer walk, especially after a very filling late brunch/lunch of Quiche Lorraine, roasted fresh asparagus, and buttermilk biscuits with butter and apricot jam. Yum. Had extra coffee this morning.
Purdue just won over Tennessee, in a close game, and they are headed to the Final Four.
I am waiting for the next game to begin, with extra interest since both teams are conference rivals of my Tarheels... and I will NOT be pulling for anyone wearing dark blue! ;D 8)
BL, I also didn't know the gray fox was that adept at climbing, though I knew they could get in trees. There are many grey foxes around where I live, and I have seen them sleeping on the ground in bushy cover, and at their dens, but I've never been lucky enough to see one as much as 30 ft up in a tree hollow, or in tree branches that high. Pretty cool. Is the snow forecast for early this week in the northeast coming to your home neighborhood?
Clynn, fun pics of Bella, the Dishwasher, and Talon. LOL! :-* Nice artwork from Bella, too. Sam and Sophie have a lot of fun together. Glad Harley is spending more time around them, and Sophie is not giving up on winning Harley's friendship. :D Norwich Cathedral is pretty. Yes, the un-called-for political comments in a post in Forum's Beak Room yesterday is a negative thing, and also makes for some hard feelings. It shouldn't be there. RRP's Forum rules need to be respected.
E4E, I hope you won't get any more water in your garage! The atmospheric rivers keep on coming to the west coast!
TSK, did I see several inches of snow in your forecast for the next couple of days?
Lisa, my sister will be in Baltimore this week, meeting her son and his 4 kids (the 2 sets of twins), to enjoy some Spring Break. Among other things, they will be visiting the Baltimore Aquarium, and also taking the kids for some sightseeing in DC. The weather forecast is dicey for part of their trip, but I hope it won't stop them from getting out to see things. It sounds like you will luck out of getting the colder precip of snow that is coming for points west and north of you - some of it measuring in feet. Does the detour around the closed part of that Baltimore loop that included the collapsed Key Bridge affect Jeff's commute to work each day? I hope not.
Karen, glad your roast was yummy. Wow, it was big!! So nice to share it with your neighbor who will enjoy it, too. Mine was 3 lbs, and I have frozen some of the leftovers in meal-size portions to enjoy again later.
I'm away to watch the basketball game starting now on CBS.
Waving to All the Beakers. Take care, All.

baz - Oh, I hope the nasty weather doesn't mess up plans for sightseeing. Jeff's commute is a straight shot from Eastern Shore of MD, across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to Annapolis. It is about a 25/30 min commute. Your late brunch/lunch sounds delicious. I love Quiche Lorraine.
tsk - That was a close game.
kb - Cute lil gray fox.
karen - How nice of you to share your pork roast with your neighbor.
Lori - Happy Easter to you and Destini :-*
Waiting for the season finale of The Way Home to come on, so saying Good night, everyone. :)

Hello Beakers
It was a busy weekend at work - garden center was very busy - lots of flowers, trees, shrubs, seeds and soils went out the door...
The Easter family gathering was this afternoon after I got off work - host was 2 bachelor sons of our "like family" friends - they provided the smoked pork loin, broccoli cheese dip and other assorted appetizers. The rest was pot luck... ;)
North Car. St teams are still upsetting higher seeds in both men and women brackets - Iowa will play LSU Monday at 6pm - forecasts have Iowa favored by 1.5 and are expecting viewer numbers to set new records... ;D
The Iceland volcano is starting it's 3rd week of activity...

Phyl, the crocus, one of the first signs of Spring!
oldguy, things are buzzing at Menards! It was a bit dreary here yesterday but I am sure their parking lot was full! People get the Spring fever this time of year and want to plant things! Sounds like you had a good Easter Sunday with lots of good eats!
Lani, hope your visit with Shannon was good! Did she drive to Payson or did you and Mike drive to her house? I can't remember! Ed didn't feel good yesterday, we postponed our Easter dinner to Friday, but they did bring the kids over to get their Easter Baskets!
BL, totally understand your post! (April Fools!)
tig, glad you were able to get together with some family! The gals across the street brought me 2 slices of carrot cake that looks decadent. I have been nibbling at it...
Phyl, I watched some of the Norwich Cathedral service too! This is also where they have a falcon nest in the upper spires, only they don't call them falcons, they call them peregrines. There are 3 eggs in the nest so far. Norwich was about 25 miles from where we lived in England. https://hawkandowltrust.org/live-cameras/norwich-cathedral-peregrines
Lori, lots of pretty Easter pics, hope you had a good one!
baz, good for you getting your walk in after that delicious breakfast! A safe trip for your sister and a good visit with all those twins!

April Fools Day!
63 no going to 81. Humidity is 91% and non rain in the forecast!
Jackie brought my container back last night with a plate of mac and cheese and a cup of green beans. A box with a chocolate rabbit! I ate on that all evening and out it back in the box . My perfect dog ate the rest! She is still with us and acting normal this morning! Have a call into her pediatrician! Had a dog, as a child who ate an entire one pound box of Fannie Mae chocolates with no consequences! Had the box and all the little papers under a skirted living room chair! This rabbit was a Russel Stovers!
Time to finish my taxes today! I am owed some dollar’s so should have done this already! My eye sight has delayed me!
Excuses, excuses!
Hope Ed is feeling better!
OG, sounds like a good Easter party!

HAPPY APRIL, BEAKERS! :)
My LGN and Baby Bro, and their mom and dad, have been spending Easter Break in Texas with their dad's sister, her husband, and their 3 girls, and with their dad's mother (the TX grandmom) and her husband. It's nice the little Virginia kids can visit and get to know their little Texas 1st cousins! :) :-* :-*

The total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017, was photographed from Madras, Oregon. The black circle in the middle is the Moon.
Surrounding it are white streams of light belonging to the Sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona.

Phyl, another good 365, bird and pinecone silhouettes... What a wonderful video by Emily Tope, brings back so many memories from years past! Cute stick boy with the umbrella! I guess that's what they might be called... ;D Oh no, you caught the cold from Jim? Do you usually have a fever with a cold? it sounds like a little more than a cold? Take care girl, that's an order... Thanks for all the info on the eclipse! I will read it later this morning!
Lani, beautiful sunset, hope you have a good day today! It's been chilly and damp here too. Waiting for the sun to break out!
E4E, Ed was feeling better yesterday afternoon, hopefully he will be back to normal this morning!
oldguy, good video of the work on the bridge, what a HUGE mess. One can only fathom the size of the container ship when you realize each one of those containers is the size of a semi trailer! The bridge looked like matchsticks when it was falling but up close you can see how big these steel pieces really are.
karen, hoping and praying Piper is fine this morning, glad you called Dr. Hall!
tsk, we had a drizzly day yesterday though no real rain. No snow in the forecast here! But the warm next weekend that was in the forecast is gone, now in the 50s instead of the 70's. Maybe it will change again!
baz, great family pictures, it's fun trying to keep all the kids and nieces, sisters, etc straight! You have a wonderful family, love how you all keep in touch and share pictures! Reminds me that I need to call my Texas sister today!
Lisa, I would not like your bridge in yukky weather! I am going to spend a week with Mom, leaving on the 13th, returning on the 21st. So far no rain in the forecast, I hate driving in the rain, this will be my first trip since my eye issue. I think I will have to keep my left eye covered up for the drive.

PHYL Had the same cold a month ago. Zicam shortens it I think. It's the fever that gets to you HUGS I thought the video was really good on the eclipse. May catch some of the others at lunch.. Thanks
OLDGUY Congrats to Iowa - Good game. ;D Will finish the bridge story at lunch.
CLYNN Love the vases of fresh flowers :) We also have the change for next weekend - 50's instead of 60s :( You are very brave to drive those 8 hours. Patch is a good idea but your brain has had some time to adapt. Do you see any difference?

Another rainy day here, and tomorrow is not looking any better.
tsk - So glad to read that all the pups did well.
karen - Glad to hear that Piper is doing OK.
Phyl - Oh no, I hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the info on eclipse. Heard on the news this morning, that they were going to try and lift and move the heaviest piece of the bridge. Not sure when that is supposed to happen.
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/52/89/17/528917c87cb5cdbed5f16d765df9dcd6.jpg)
oldguy - WTG Iowa!!
E4E - Thanks, we did. :)
clynn - Love the flowers in the colored bottles. Yes, driving on the bridge in the yucky weather is not fun. Are you driving my yourself? Please be careful.

{{{Phyl}}} I'm sorry, feel better soon, sending hugs and prayers... thank you for the information on the Solar Eclipse. A lot of work when you don't feel well. :-* ... Mike's company boss sent out a Solar Eclipse box last week. It was filled with snacks while waiting to see eclipse, a t-shirt, coffee mug, etc... very funny box. The boss has given that day off to everyone... sweet nature video and thanks for RRP blog update.

Hi Deborah G, great to see you. ;D
-
LISA Just checked the Norths nest - Wow snow storm...
KB What a cute pup ;)
LANI What a clever idea from Mike's boss - Day off too WOW Royal albies progressing along. ;D Those waters are perfect for swimming. You can see what's comin' for ya' LOL
DEBG Hello stranger - So good to see you drop in!!!
-
Tsk, my thought exactly when looking at the waters. LOL! I haven't been the same since Mike took me to see Jaws on our first date. LOL!
No night swimming after that!
-
Deb, hello there! So good to see you!
Lani, thanks for the update on the Albies, they are growing fast! How nice of the company to give the employees the day off for the eclipse! I looked out the window about an hour ago, it was SNOWING! Light ground cover, it's all gone now, the streets are just wet. I am watching Renovation Aloha, the last one sold for $2,160,000.00. Now they are doing a small one! I get other things done during the commercials... ::)
tig, Happy Wash Day!
kb, what a sweet puppy! He looks like a good boy!
Lisa, yes, I will be driving to Mom's by myself, Kelsey will be with me in July when we go again. Then there might be another trip later in the Fall, and then Christmas (Ed drives that one!). We are all trying to go more, Mom will be 90 in November and it's starting to catch up with her. Becky and Jennifer have been coming twice a year, they usually stay 2-3 weeks. and Cathy is the wild card. Her husband seems to be going downhill , he just turned 79 and has all kinds of issues. They live near Dallas and she spends most of her time being at his beck and call. (He is not my favorite person, can you tell?).
tsk, we got about an hour of light snow, it's mostly gone now! It seems like my eye is very gradually getting better, just the distortion in the middle but it seems to be getting smaller. Still interferes with focus, perfectly fine if I close my left eye!
Hellgate Canyon - Iris's heart has been refurbished and is awaiting her return.

OLDGUY Good explanation on the bridge remains removal. Miri, Hana and Maru - Unbelievable she has 3 cats that tolerate nail clipping LOL
CLYNN Good to hear you are even getting some improvement in your eye. :) Brother-in-laws ::) What can you do ::) I'm sure Cathy misses being able to visit Mom which made it so nice that you got Mom there last year. Don't know that I ever saw Iris's heart before. So pretty.

Clynn - Hope Ed is feeling a lil better now. :) Safe travels when you leave on the 13th to go see your Mom. So no one will be going with you? Okay, just read that you will be driving by yourself. Take your time and be safe.
Hi Tsk!
LisaG - Were you able to give Sydney her Easter basket? Bet she was so happy!

Hi DeborahG!
Hi Og :)
Baz, Lori, BL, Puff, Karen :)
Had a nice day with my mom; picked her up at 9:30 this morning, then drove her to see her SIL (about a 35 min drive). Her SIL recently went into a 'rest' home. After we left, we picked up some lunch and went home. Then I got busy to catch up on a few things around home.
Beakers have a good night.

I checked in on the nests this morning - Sometimes it just ain't easy being an eagle. :(
What would really be great is a weekend stay at the Big Sur Lodge.
IMHO because I've done both - There's a lot of mention about the Cliffs of Moher/Ring of Kerry sights down the west coast of Ireland. It is a must ride when you're there. But - #1 has got to be Big Sur and the PCH/Pacific Coast Highway.

Lani, I have always wondered how far the North Nest is from Decorah! This isn't the first time there was a good bit of snow at North and none in Decorah! Wonder how many eggs Mother Goose at N1 is brooding, I bet Lisa knows! Iris should be arriving soon, I hope this year is good...
BL, thanks for the Santana...smooth...
E4E, I was looking up some more pictures of Big Sur Lodge and there was a warning that it is not accessible from Highway 1 due to a 'slip-out'! It is a beautiful place, would love to go there!
(https://th.bing.com/th?id=OIF.Wu%2fp93JI8TOYXYrmLXV8Wg&w=318&h=181&c=7&r=0&o=5&dpr=1.3&pid=1.7)
oldguy, outstanding stats on the game! We only had snow for about an hour yesterday, sunshine in the afternoon.
tsk, I bet Caitlin will be on the Wheaties box soon! Did you get much snow yesterday? TWC says possible snow showers this morning but I don't think so, it's 36 but it's windy, as usual!
Lisa, so you also wonder about the North snow, Decorah no snow phenomenon. I think it just means the North nest is not as close as we think, doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things!
karen, I hope the storm went tight over you with no issues! Piper still okay?

Good Morning Everyone....
Currently: 45F cloudy , scattered light rain showers, High 55F light rain, Low 42F
I did get some extra sleep yesterday...and felt a bit better for it. But still 'broken' sleep pattern. My ears really hurt, sore throat no better, may have to go to a clinic for some help. LOL I sound so squeaky / raspy ... usually just 'ride out' most 'stuff' and let the body heal on it's own. :( not so this time.
Everyone thanks for the 'Get Well' wishes.
When I'm feeling bad Maggie is no bother. Cat's purrs are
healing. Cats cuddle with humans when they know they are ill.
As long as she stays away from my face-- ;)
The eclipse info I had it ready to post ahead of time .
Back to bed I'll go...
Quickly:
CLynn glad there's some eye improvement; safe travels to your mom's as you drive solo
Lani nice idea from Mike's boss w/ the eclipse
Karen/Piper be safe w/storms
KB cute G. Shepherd puppy
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

GOOD MORNING
OLDGUY I did see that Hy-Vee cereal when searching LOLOL
KAREN Hope you are not getting storms as bad as predicted as I type this.
EAGLES Nice day with Mom. Gives Sis a break too. ;) ;)
PUFF Agree about PCH. But drive it south to north LOLOL Think I heard part of the hwy was closed due to mudslide?
CLYNN Love the farmhouse window ;D We have a little rain/snow mix going on right now and supposedly all day. I don't know how far the city limits of Decorah go... Imagined the North nest closer to Mn border? 34 degrees heading to 38 Burrr Upper Iowa river is beautiful.
(((PHYL))) I was hoping that the stick dance wouldn't knock D17 unconscious . :o :o Funny how D17 played with the "stick" - wrestling with it LOL pygmy owl - so cute
-
Good Morning! Hopefully we have dodged a bullet here! Dark as pitch with rain for a few more hours but not windy! Tornado watch until 1 pm! Piper got up, went outside and came right back in, saying it was nasty out there and is now sound asleep. Weather just said, showers will end later this morning bring in cooler and drier air! Have not cancelled tornado watch. Tho! Think I heard there was a lot of damage in Louisville and Ohio! Wish there was a magic trick to fix climate change! Even more troubling in an El Nino year!

Good Morning Beakers
Snowing here again this morning - some accumulation on roofs and cars - slight bit on grass. This is still the back side of yesterday's storm - expecting to end this afternoon with a high of 40. Gradual increase in highs this week, with 60s by Mon. and partly cloudy for eclipse time.
The North nest is about 10 to 15 miles to the NNE of the Hatchery.
Here is a report on the PCH from yesterday...
Hundreds of tourists, locals impacted by Highway 1 partial collapse - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loBowH9rFFU

karen - I hope you are out of the woods with that weather. It looks like we are to get some storms between 12:45 and 3pm.
tsk -Cute morning greeting. There is a new eaglet this morning at RRP's Trempealeau nest.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53628381632_a54a95b741_b.jpg)
((Phyl)) - I hope you decide to go to doctor, and get checked out to see what is going on.
Thanks for the links, even tho you do not need to when you are feeling bad.
clynn - Pretty last pic with the flowers and fruit. I have a feeling that the North nest isn't as close to Decorah as one might think. The weather sure seems different at times.
Puff - I agree not a good day to be any birdy in Decorah.
Lani - Good pics from the Deocrah nests.
E4E - Glad that you had a nice day with your mom.

Puff, I checked out both places you suggested. The Cliffs of Moher is stunning. I think I remember Aly mentioned seeing it on her trip to Dublin in the late 90's. She stayed with a college friend whose family had a pub in Dublin. ;D

OLDGUY My friends in the UP are really getting dumped on. Power out in some areas. Thanks for the North nest perspective to the Hatchery nests. Now I know what the term "slip-out" means. US1 That is the trouble with not having an alternate way around the problem. How on earth do you fix something like that?
KAREN Good news so far on your weather. :)
LISA Hey, Just when Amy predicted a hatch, there is T1? at Trempealeau ;D
LANI Peg and Molly. How unusual is that? Think the dog expected the crow? to fetch the ball LOL Oh Gosh I watched Mei a couple times to see how those shells were stored on her belly LOLOL How cute was that. ;D

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I hope everyone in the path of the stormy weather, be it rain, hail, wind, or snow, stay alert and safe!
My twin "greats" are having a good time visiting sights in DC this week, and dodging the rain and storms as much as they can. They've been caught by some downpours several days. Over the last couple of days, they have visited some of the Smithsonian museums, and have spent time visiting some of the memorials and monuments along and around The Mall.

Hi Lani - I wish I could share the full experience. The rest of the two views would help. For sure you got the effect of the high, huge, long expanse. What you don't see causes me to opt for PCH. Behind the cliffs there is not much to see. There are roads perpendicular to the cliffs and ocean front, maybe 1/2 mile drive in. It's open full fields of flat grass. In CA there are roads right along the side, green foilage and plants and huge forests of high/beautiful trees, sometime even cattle grazing by PCH. Let me mention too houses, restaurants, golf courses, beaches (hard to get to, but surfers at the bottom?), the sound of the crashing waves. The overall special effects add the extra punch. I'll always try to get any of my clients going to or thru CA to spend a day on the oceanfront if they've never had the experience.
P
-
For those wondering how far north the North Nest is from the hatchery it's about 8/10 of a mile south of the MN/IA state line. So it's definitely not within Decorah city limits and it"s just inside of Winneshiek County,IA. :)
-
Have a good night, everyone :)

Thanks Phyl for your post in Beak Forum for After The Fledge. All notice is appreciated by RRP.
P

The PCH is a wonderful experience as is the Blue Ridge Parkway , Lake Shore Drive. Etc! I think they will need several cases of Gorilla Glue and a good engineer to repair the PCH.
Piper stayed in the house until 1 pm today! Said it was too wet! Been out several times since as it has turned into a pretty, sunny, low humidity day! Temps are lower as well! Sorry For all who. Got slammed by the storm!
The picture of tge .North nest is interesting as I always think of it being at the edge of a cow pasture! Maybe it is!
Shunks. Are beautiful little animals! My understanding is that they only spray if alarmed pr scared! lisa, You can start going out with food and talking to Pepe while you put it down! Gradually he will come running to you! Lol
Thats. Enough fun for one day! All be safe, well and seds.

KB That was so cute " sniff, sniff, sniff" all good - onward LOL Wow Watching that lady was awful. Hope she wasn't hurt. :o

Bl - Always love Santana! Thanks for explaining the area of DNN :)
Lani - No, I have not stayed at the Big Sur Lodge, but we have stayed in a cabin at Pfeiffer State Park and I have a family history of camping at Big Sur. My Dad & Mom took us kids camping in Big Sur when we were young, and then later, I took my kids camping to the same areas. Wonderful memories!
Like the Mother Goose pics - thank you!
Puff - You are correct about the Big Sur area and the Pacific Coast Hwy - so beautiful!
Clynn - A few days ago there was part of the roadway that slipped down into the ocean and now a lot of places in Big Sur can't be visited as they've had to close the road. The ground is soaked from the recent rains.
I too, have wondered how far the Decorah nests are from Decorah North nest! Beautiful Upper Iowa River pics!
Phyl - Good you got a little more sleep. Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for Amy's blog and all the links!
Tsk - Yes, it was nice that my sis got a little break. She had a few errands to run, so it was just my Mom and I for a few hours!
Karen - Hope you & Piper stay safe in your weather situation.
Og - Great footage on the slides here in CA!
LisaG - Beautiful pic @ Trempealeau nest - sweet little one!!
Kb - Wow that was a windy walk you & Ollie had this morning!
Baz - What fun for your 'Greats'!! Great pics!!
Beakers have a good night - SEDs :)

Eaglet Growth and Development, Week Two
April 3, 2024 RaptorResource
https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/03/eaglet-growth-and-development-week-two/
We’re writing a series of blogs about the first few weeks of an eaglet’s life. An eaglet spends roughly 75 to 80 days in the nest. For about the first half, it grows and gains weight. For about the second half, it grows flight feathers and starts developing the skills it will need post-fledge. We will focus on week two in this blog.
I just now realized that I used the wrong coding for my link. ::) :P As you can see, it's been correcterd.

March 5, 2024
One of our resident squirrels came up about 4:31 pm for a quick meal. There was Dad #2
(offspring CR #49) standing guard over his nest. I know a cell phone isn't the photo quality matching that
of a high quality professional camera or a research nest cam. We're just a common 'mom and pop' nature loving couple
that were blessed 22 years ago with a pair of human loving wild bluebirds that through the generations have chosen to nest
in our nesting boxes repeatedly for some mysterious reason.

tsk, more snow? So I looked at TWC radar, it's coming from the northeast. Lake effect snow? We are having sun today...
Phyl, awww, you have babies again! Good pictures! Do you have two Bluebird nest boxes? The squirrel is keeping watch! The Pasque flowers are very pretty, I have crocus and a couple of hyacinths. Glad to hear Jim is taking you to the Clinic, are you feeling any better? 31 here now, high 54 today, not as windy as yesterday!
E4E, wow, is there only one way into Big Sur? That doesn't look like a very easy road fix!
Lani, love the good night pics from Decorah and North, they look so peaceful... And the pic of the snow and the North Nest, it's a good one. Love those eagles!
karen, I have been to the Pacific Coast Highway, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Lake Shore Drive! All are beautiful! Lake Shore Drive (LSD) always reminds me of this song: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube%20lake%20shore%20drive%20jeremiah%20videos&FORM=VDRVRV&mid=DEB8018EAB0DFD884FD4DEB8018EAB0DFD884FD4&view=detail&ru=%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dyoutube%20lake%20shore%20drive%20jeremiah&ajaxhist=0
BL, have you been to the North Nest or have you located it via your wizardry with maps? I can visualize you searching for it online...
baz, great family pictures! Enjoy seeing the twins and twins and Lil; Punkin and Baby Bro! They are all growing up so fast, just like Talon and Bella!

Good Morning! A beautiful sunny morning at 47 degrees! Going to the 60’s later today! Love these temperatures! Think I remember, Tsk, tge last freeze date for the Chicago planting zone , is April25th! Do not know what climate change has done to these dates!
Restless Egg syndrome! Lolol. Good Bb report and cute squirrel Phyl!
Clynn, never heard that song about LSD before! Love it! Thanks for posting!

OK clynn A new set of memories started because of Lake Shore Drive (LSD) song. That's the neighborhood where I grew up in Chicago, now referred to as Old Town. We lived about a mile from the beach and LSD from about 6 or 7 years of age til about 13. Then we moved to Midway airport area. I had to have spent 3 or 4 days a week at North Avenue beach in my summers at the beach. I also recall my brother and his fishing - nothing better than a fresh caught smelt netted and cooked for dinner the same day. He also had a boat to take out early mornings before work for lake perch or trout. He had a fisherman's location. He did move to city boundary (O'Hare) but still would drag the boat in to fish whenever. But, my information and the song and video don't match. They were traveling north by famous Oak Street beach on LSD not south. The giveaway would be the passenger side is next to the lake; and in the background the Hancock building is getting smaller. I moved from the city in 1971, I resigned teaching 1994. Now my only connection would be an occasional game day with the White Sox. Lots of time and facts gleaned. Fortunately the Loop and Drive are keeping their image. I do wish them success in restoring its crowds and lovely lifestyle.
But there is another memory - because of the background image of the Hancock Building. My Dad, brothers, and 1st husband were boilermakers/welders. Dad helped to construct the two antenna at the the top of the building. At construction, the building had 95 floors. The construction took him up a whole lot higher. He did take some awesome pics that I still have in my memory box and in my head. There are quite a few times that some of you here have mentioned their own ties to my area. You just might have some reminders too of the past.
Another bit of discovery/education. The celebration of life funeral activities showed a flag I knew nothing about. I know the Chicago flag, I lived with it or near it until, as I said, about 1994. Quick lesson of the day on Chicago flag when you might like. Two blue stripes represent Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. There are 4 red stars across the middle white representing first Fort Dearborn and the area created by DuSable; there's a star for the remembrance of the Great Fire in 1871; and, there are 2 stars in recognition of the two worlds' fairs in 1893 and 1933. BUT, what was the green and white flag used this weekend?
The flag has 5 green and white stripes, representing the 5 boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island). And, on a field of blue are 24 stars representing the number of towns, cities, and villages incorporated into a city in 1898. The flag was introduced in 1919, was 100 years old 2019, now 105 years old. But it's not the city flag. NYC has Blue, white, orange panels with the city seal in the middle.
What was used in honor over the weekend was the New York City Police Department flag.
Chicago also has a Chicago Police Department Flag. They merely modified the Chicago flag by using their blue and white checkerboard pattern to outline the Chicago flag as a sign that they serve the surrounded city. They also use the city seal in the center.
Two new learnings for the day - and more fantastic memories. Thanks for your time group.

CLYNN No snow here. Intermittent rain however. Yes great song LSD. You'd like to have that song blaring on the radio when you drive it/. FYI Big stink when it happened but it is now officially called Du Sable Lake Shore Drive sigh...
That's one thing I liked about a return flight from Florida ( night is the best) - the plane is out over the Lake going north and if you are on the west side of the plane the view is amazing. Then the plane turns west and you fly over the City and come in to O'Hare over the Kennedy xway. ;) Beautiful, stark view of Monument Valley :o
KAREN Our planting zone here in Chicago has changed this year from a 5 to a 6a. We are now considered "warmer". LSD is a big classic song here for obvious reasons. ;D
PUFF So enjoyed your history lesson this AM. I'm going to go back and look at the video closer LOL
LANI What was Mike's destination in Mn?? That is somewhere he doesn't usually go.
LISA A lavender good morning ;D One of my top 5 favorite smells ;)

Good Morning Beakers!
BL, have you been to the North Nest or have you located it via your wizardry with maps? I can visualize you searching for it online...
Clynn I have been to the area of the DNN many years ago, 20+.
I waded & fly fished for wild native trout in the Creek that flows through the cow pasture/farm right in front of the nest.
There were no BE's present in the area when we where there. :(
A friend of mine who use to live in Caledonia, MN turned me on to this 'secret' fishing spot.
There are awesome trout to be had in that Creek as my krill can attest to. ;D
When RRP installed the DNN camera in 2015 I recognized the area immediately.
I highly respect the land owners and RRP's decision to keep the nest location undisclosed. 8)
-
Thank you BL, I remembered RRP posting it was on private land.
Beautiful serene area. :)
-
Hallelujah!....I got my internet back. Had comcast/xfinity out for the last 3 hours.
After 20 plus years someone who knew what they were doing evaluated the cable from the pole to the house and it was junk.
Chris and I have been trying to "fix" it ourselves etc...
The cable had all kinds of "knicks" in it....dang squirrels...'Bout time though with a cable that old.
Works like a charm now..including our other devices like tv....we are now getting speeds that we were before fix paying for!
Lani - cause I live a block away from Minneapolis, if Mike needs anything or to find something/anything, let me know. I can try as i do know the area, LOL
-
Tsk, think there may be a drive similar to lsd in Milwaukee or Northern suburbs. Had a college friend from Theinsvilke and one from a. Tiny town north of there. Don’t remember the name of it and a google search did not bring it up! Pretty drive with lovely homes on the lake! The flight into Chicago is fabulous! There is also a flight into DC That is beautiful. At night!
E23 is still coming home at night and waiting for M to bring breakfast! He chases a SA out of the nest tree the other day! Got help from Dad! In a way I wish they would band the kids as it could well be some of tgem are famiky! Who is to know!
Bl, you are quite the outdoor traveling man! Would love some of tgat fresh trout!
-
Phyl, oh those little North babies! Looks like a big piece of fur next to them in the nest! Maybe they can cuddle with it!
Lani, Ed is back to normal, I told him thank goodness, I was almost out of underwear! ::) Suzie Wong's Chinese Laundry was closed while he was sick but it's up and running again! Love the duck in the marathon, glad he got a medal!
BL, wow, and you recognized the area around the North Nest! You have a very good memory! I wonder if your fishing spot is stocked by the Decorah Hatchery? Oh, and is your age a secret or can you tell us how old you are? You don't have to say if you don't want to... just curious, you seem young. Must be because you are always off exploring somewhere!
tsk, what does the Du Sable mean, and I wonder why they would just stick it on Lake Shore Drive? Sounds kind of dufus! There must have been a new street somewhere they could have named Du Sable Drive instead of messing with a long-lived tradition. I found this, is there even more to the name?
Lake Shore Drive will now henceforth be known as Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive! It’s happened, folks. Chicago’s beloved Lake Shore Drive has a new name. 17 miles of outer Lake Shore Drive from Hollywood Avenue to East 67th Street will now be known as Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive in honor of the first non-Indigenous settler of Chicago.

kb, kind of the same thing with my Mom, her internet was so slow (rural) and when they came they said her modem was old. They installed a new one and the internet is zipping!
karen, I have flown into Chicago several times, it is a beautiful sight! Didn't there used to be a little airport that was on the water? Migs Field I think it was called. Is it even still there? I have also taken the Amtrack from Springfield to Chicago 3 Times, loved it!
Puff, good memories of Chicago! I think Becky and Jennifer lived there when the two 90 degree curves were modified, I bet that was a mess...

Clynn - um a modem or router is different than the cable to the house. We mistakenly already paid for a new modem and router....spendy, but the problem was the outdoor cable to the house...not rural but urban.
-
Clynn, So glad to hear Ed is back to normal. And Suzie Wong's Chinese Laundry is back up and running again! LOL!... Gorgeous pic of CC! The game isn't until tomorrow night.
Karen, thanks for SWFL update. I wish they would band the eaglets too. That sub adult may be one of Harriet's and it would be wonderful to know a part of her continues to return!
awww thanks Kb, Mike is at the airport and ready for the return flight home. Hopefully, his business went well. Glad to hear the cable situation was resolved. Done! All the cable lines here are underground now.
-
tsk - I love the smell of Lavender, too. Glad to hear that you did not get any snow. I thought we were done with the rain, but it started again this afternoon.
Lani - Aww, that duck is adorable.
BL - How cool that you noticed the terrain right away when DNN cams came on live!
kb - Glad you got your internet/cable fixed.
karen - Thanks for SWFL update.
clynn - Suzie Wong's Chinese Laundry ;D Glad to hear that Ed is feeling better.
Good night, everyone!

LANI LOLOL Duck winning a medal ;D
BL Thanks. Figured you'd have some info on the north nest in a different capacity of course ;) ;)
KB So that's where you've been. How rotten that you've paid for high speed and not gotten it all this time. Now all is good - even better ;D ;D
CLYNN LOLOL "Suzie Wong's Chinese laundry" ;D ;D ;D ;D You found the answer to " Du Sable" ::) ::) Meigs Field was taken down in the darkness of the night by Mayor Daley!! City was shocked. This was eons ago... You found some good pics of the modified "S" Curve.
LISA We had drizzle or brief downpours all day today. :(
-
Phyl, oh those little North babies! Looks like a big piece of fur next to them in the nest! Maybe they can cuddle with it!
Lani, Ed is back to normal, I told him thank goodness, I was almost out of underwear! ::) Suzie Wong's Chinese Laundry was closed while he was sick but it's up and running again! Love the duck in the marathon, glad he got a medal!
BL, wow, and you recognized the area around the North Nest! You have a very good memory! I wonder if your fishing spot is stocked by the Decorah Hatchery? Oh, and is your age a secret or can you tell us how old you are? You don't have to say if you don't want to... just curious, you seem young. Must be because you are always off exploring somewhere!
tsk, what does the Du Sable mean, and I wonder why they would just stick it on Lake Shore Drive? Sounds kind of dufus! There must have been a new street somewhere they could have named Du Sable Drive instead of messing with a long-lived tradition. I found this, is there even more to the name?
Lake Shore Drive will now henceforth be known as Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive! It’s happened, folks. Chicago’s beloved Lake Shore Drive has a new name. 17 miles of outer Lake Shore Drive from Hollywood Avenue to East 67th Street will now be known as Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive in honor of the first non-Indigenous settler of Chicago.

kb, kind of the same thing with my Mom, her internet was so slow (rural) and when they came they said her modem was old. They installed a new one and the internet is zipping!
karen, I have flown into Chicago several times, it is a beautiful sight! Didn't there used to be a little airport that was on the water? Migs Field I think it was called. Is it even still there? I have also taken the Amtrack from Springfield to Chicago 3 Times, loved it!
Puff, good memories of Chicago! I think Becky and Jennifer lived there when the two 90 degree curves were modified, I bet that was a mess...

clynn DuSable was more than an early settler. He was an avid developer and business starter of the region.
That first pic (which by the way is a great find) is a great showing for Question Mark Pier (top) (wonder why they called it that ;D ) and the large sand plot at the bottom is Oak Street Beach. Oak Street Beach is used in the summer for the major showing of the Air and Water show. It is scary and amazing to see those jets "performing" off shore and among the downtown monster buildings. You also can imagine the echo/noise.
Duckie was so cute. I hoped and waited for more of the story.

Awe, Thomas Demma was at Nancy and Beau's new nest today and lookie here: 2 babies!
The nest at the camera tree fell down last year on April 1st severe ice/snow storm including the baby which did not survive. The new nest is app a mile away and may have a new camera next season.

Thought I'd make a quick trip over to the Mary Tyler Moore House located at 2104 Kenwood Parkway in the Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis. It was this gorgeous Queen Anne that served as the exterior shot for Mary's home in the TV sitcom. Built in 1892, it was designed by Edward S. Stebbins, who designed houses all over the Twin Cities and spent 14 hears as the official architect for Minneapolis Public Schools. Up close you could really see how grand it is as the tower looms above you. There was some beautiful stained glass on the tower's windows as well. Today, it's a private residence. It's a spectacular home and it was a trip to actually be standing in front of it.

Wide mixture of weather today for us at our house; Rain - Very strong heavy rain, - hail at least twice, a tiny bit of sun - our rain gauge reads .44 right now, and we may get more this evening, but next week (probably Tue), we start warming up and getting some beautiful sunshine. Calif reservoirs and lakes have really benefited with this beautiful rain, but not the mud/road slides in Big Sur.
We have been to the Big Sur River Inn & Restaurant many times (pictured above), but only just to eat and spend some time there. They have indoor and outdoor sitting and they also have Adirondack chairs out in the river that runs behind this restaurant and on any warm/hot day, you will see folks sitting in those chairs in the shallow river! Very beautiful scenery. I've seen folks bring their blankets and picnic baskets. Sad that these places are not getting any customers right now due to the slide, but that's just Nature. :(
People cannot get there from the other side of Hwy1 (out of Paso Robles) due to a closure.
Karen - Did the weather subside a little so that Piper wanted to out for a bit?
Phyl - Good that Jim will take you to see a Dr on Friday. Hope you feel a little bit better each day. Cute pic of squirrel & bluebird!
Tsk - Hope your area warms up soon!
Clynn - Are the Munchkins on Easter/Spring break this week, or was that last week? So glad that Ed is feeling back to normal now!!
Puff - So, are you getting very many requests for folks wanting Rooms to come and visit Decorah for the ATF event? I know how much you enjoy doing this, so hope you are getting requests! :)
Lani - I have lived in Ca in this same general area for all of my life and of course I don't mind you asking! Hope Mike is back home now. :) Love the story of duck running the marathon and getting a medal - too Cute!!!!! ;D
LisaG :)
Bl - Great story from 2015 and of your fishing spot - thank you!
Kb - Yaaay! So happy you got your Internet connection fixed!!! Loved the vid of 'Raptor' landing on the foot of that fellow! ;D Gorgeous home!!!
Tig, Og, Lori, Baz :)
Beakers have a good night.

Tsk, think there may be a drive similar to lsd in Milwaukee or Northern suburbs. Had a college friend from Theinsvilke and one from a. Tiny town north of there. Don’t remember the name of it and a google search did not bring it up! Pretty drive with lovely homes on the lake! The flight into Chicago is fabulous! There is also a flight into DC That is beautiful. At night!
E23 is still coming home at night and waiting for M to bring breakfast! He chases a SA out of the nest tree the other day! Got help from Dad! In a way I wish they would band the kids as it could well be some of tgem are famiky! Who is to know!
Bl, you are quite the outdoor traveling man! Would love some of tgat fresh trout!
Me too.
-
I got a cast iron skillet older than I. :)
To eat fresh river trout .. yum yum .. sizzling in butter & lemon. :)
-
BL, there's a small family restaurant in Star Valley that serves the the best fresh trout daily. And that's what I order each time, trout grilled with lemon butter.
Kb, gorgeous home!
{{{Phyl, Jim, Miss Maggie}}}
Eagles, Big Sur River and Park sounds like a lovely area. I hope the repairs will go quickly. Glad for the reservoirs and lakes filling up, also, it may help with the fire season this summer..... whenever you share your weather report and mention rain, I always check on mine and see what's in our future! ;D ... Yes, Mike arrived home an hour ago. There was some sort of dust up on Highway 87 going to Payson or he would have been home a bit earlier. 10 police cars and highway shut down for 20 minutes. Mike didn't pass an accident when he was able to move on, something was up.
Good night!

Why NASA is launching 3 rockets into the solar eclipse next week
Three rockets ferrying science instruments will be launched into the eclipse's shadow on April 8.
Here's what scientists hope to learn.

Good Morning Everyone...TGIF !
Currently: 36F clear and High 55F partly sunny, Low 36F[/size
Sure wish I felt as good as that coffee cup looks---sassy and all.
Jim is off at 2pm so plan is to pick me up and head to Kroger' s Little Clinic.
Was feeling so "puny" last night that my sitting up to sleep I couldn't decide which bothered me more the 'cold' or my discs at L4-5 and S1 keeping me awake.
And, not much better todfay. " Bark, bark, bark!"
Thanks for all the nests updates Lani, CLynn & Puff
Lani, nice that Mike will he home this w/e.
Lisa loved the lavender wish I had some to sleep with
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

I got a cast iron skillet older than I. :)
ate river trout oh you bet it sizzling butter lemon
BL Way back when. . . There's a pic somewhere as I recall - Me about 3 or 4 fishing in the Rockies for R.M. river trout. We made quite a few trips to the area streams since $$$ was veeeery scarce. Other good treat though was a whole watermelon laid in the cool water to keep it crunchy. First thing we'd always plan when we went back "home" to visit family was a trip to visit RMNP (Rocky Mountain National Park).
Another remembrance would be at about 10 yrs old, in Chicago now, when the eclipse not only dropped the temperature but it got real windy!

Phyl, an X-rated 365! LOLOL! It's Spring! I have never seen a live partridge, thanks! 39 here, 59 for the high today. Sorry to hear you are having double discomfort, with your cold and your back. I hope the clinic cam get you some help. Ed has an old shoulder injury and the nerve in his arm is causing him pain, he said he couldn't sleep much. He said he is going to call the Dr this morning, so I know it's hurting. I agree on the nerdy scientists, I hope what they find out is worth the effort!
baz, yes, a lot of dufus going around! And there's no cure! My Uncle Kenny had some unique names, if I can remember any more I will let you know! ;D Love the un-plug, otherwise known as re-boot. That was always the first suggestion of the Help Desk at work, and many times it was all that was needed. For humans too, I agree! Sometimes my get-up-and-go does the same thing, it's nice to be retired and take at least part of a day off when needed.
Lani, glad to hear Mike is home safe! I remember some kind of dust or sand storms that would blow up when we were at Luke AFB, I remember we came home from somewhere, the windows had been open and the dust/sand was all over the house where it had blown through the screens! Good picture of the Trempealeau nest, I'll have to check in on that one! It feels like musical nests in Decorah, and we have no eagles to watch there!
Bl, good answer! You must have inherited that old cast iron skillet!
E4E, Spring Break is in the middle of March around here, the week of March 18th, Erin and family went to visit my Mom on Break. I would love to visit Big Sur, makes me think of the Beach Boys, my first music love!
kb, great picture from Thomas Demma, he is a wonderful photographer! I would love to live in the Mary Tyler Moore house, it's beautiful! And oh, I do know the difference between a cable and a modem. I was just comparing a longstanding issue that was solved so easily when a technician took the time to really look for the issue.

An elephant at sunset....sorry it's not sunrise given it's morning!...LOL
I think Chris could actually work for Comcast at least as a diagnostician at this point. In other words he had the persistence to keep "barking" at comcast after testing everything. Not just the usual reset all devices etc. but knew how to find codes of stuff not working that I'd never seen before.
A few weeks ago, a comcast employee was out and re-ran just a section of cable, testing as he went, but Chris showed him code that disagreed with his machines. He even validated it with a NetGear engineer, the new modem's engineer.
Bottom line, the only interference left was the main cable from pole to house.....grrr.. and very old. Fixed just yesterday.
Wish we buried our cable here, Lani. But, we've all been told it's too expensive to do it, same with our power lines etc..
Spent the day yesterday removing my chicken wire and protection from rabbits around other roses etc in front yard. Today I'll do the back yard..Slowly but surely Spring will show up.

GOOD MORNING
Mostly cloudy heading to 45...
PUFF You are a good Chicago historian ;) ;) Never knew about questionmark pier ::)
KB Thomas Demma got some good shots yesterday. Good camera equipment :o Awesome video. Kind of a vulture like head? That is a grand old home. Would love to get inside. :) Chris should have some on line business where he helps people with computer issues!! Maybe Comcast will hire him after this experience ;D
EAGLES Brings to mind all those who will lose income because of Hwy 1 being closed. Not as big a physical disaster as the bridge but brings about the same consequences... :( Warm February and colder April - backwards LOL
LANI Mike home safe :)
BAZI Love the Ann Lamott quote - So true in this age of technology applied to ourselves! I need to look up the times of those games today.
PHYL Sure hope NASA learns something with this $$$ experiment. Gosh - getting to the doc in the nick of time it sounds like - Hope you get some relief.
BL I think cast iron skillets last FOREVER. ;) ;)
CLYNN Now those stacked colorful cups would make a great puzzle!!!! ;D Never heard of Newspaper Rock either - Fascinating.

tsk - Have I traveled the modified "S" curve to get to your house? It is sunny this morning, but I see some rain on the radar for later.
kb - Congrats to Nancy & Beau on their new babies. Very cool about the Mary Tyler Moor house.
E4E - Wow, you did have a mixture of weather yesterday. Big Sur River Inn & Restaurant looks like a nice place, so sad that they are not getting any business, cause of the road closure.
Lani - Thanks for the pics of Mrs. T, and the DE geese!
Phyl - I hope the lil clinic fixes you up today. Thanks for the 365, and the NASA link.
clynn - Love the colorful coffee mugs this morning. Very interesting about Newspaper Rock.
Puff, tig, karen and all - Morning :)

Good Morning and tgif!
Earthquake in NYC! 4.8 and really shook some walls! Did you feel it BL?
58 degrees going to the low 70’s.
Colorful morning pictures Clynn! Bbl
-
karen - Did that happen in NYC or NJ? Jeff is working from home today, and he said some of his co-workers who live closer to Baltimore said they felt it. I was wondering if BL felt it, too.
-
Clynn, This may be Iris, go back to 6:54am on streaming cam. She tidies up for a couple of seconds too, then flies to her perch.
I always go back through cam to see if she's been there. I hope it's her and not Louis. There are pics on Hellgate Facebook by others, they feel it's her.
But, I'm sure everyone is waiting for confirmation. This is my pic from cam. 🙏 :-*

The earthquake was at 10:23 EDT and was located 2 miles south of Tewksbury NJ - so about 40 miles from BL - if he was home, he would have felt it ;)
-
Lani, I can't tell if it's Iris, we need a good close-up so we can see her eyes! I am praying that Louis keeps to himself this year, we so need babies at this nest. I found this video for you from 2014 when the nest was full! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uCu7WT3r8Y

Earthquake in NYC! 4.8 and really shook some walls! Did you feel it BL?
58 degrees going to the low 70’s.
Colorful morning pictures Clynn! Bbl
Heard about this on FNC right after it occurred. FNC did a 'Breaking News". USGS stated while rare occurrence, not uncommon.
Bringing back memories from Southern Calif. living on the San Andreas Fault and Joplin, MO on the New Madrid Fault.
Recalling from childhood and adulthood, in school n a classroom and crawling for cover underneath my desk. And, teacher's assistant in Kindergarten; running errands in town--being knocked to my feet in stores with stocked shelves toppling goods to the floor ; in parking lots , trying to hold on to anything stable. Seeing the concrete based high ways and interstates roll like the waves in the Pacific ocean --- watching parked vehicles sway from side to side like baby elephants at play; awakened from a sound sleep , sitting straight up in bed holding onto the mattress because the magnitude was so strong one couldn't stand or move.
Yes if BL was at home in the area he would have felt it for sure.
Hoping that BL and all in immediate area are well and property is un damaged---at least not seriously.
Take care everyone. Praying and thinking about you.

You can enlarge the picture on an ipad but the eyes look blurry as they get larger. Clynn, try it on your phone!
Lisa, I have not looked but, has rrp said anything about the missing Mr, T at the new camera Wisconsin nest? Nothing on the cam site. Since it is on private property I thought the owners might have a clue!
A brief history lesson I found interesting: stewardsumrrorg. Sorry you cannot click on it but you can google it!
Phyll, ALL the networks broadcasted the earthquake as breaking news! It also flashed on computers!

Lani, I can't tell if it's Iris, we need a good close-up so we can see her eyes! I am praying that Louis keeps to himself this year, we so need babies at this nest. I found this video for you from 2014 when the nest was full! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uCu7WT3r8Y
such good memories :-*
I don't want to cry for another lonely year for her.
Praying for a mate ASAP!
-
LISA LOL No I think it is further north on the drive than when you turn west. ;) ;)
KAREN Heard that on the news in the car about the earthquake. Thousand of earthquakes happen everyday on this planet to varying degree of magnitude and generally they get recognized if over 5.0 said the reporter.
LANI It has to be Iris as the timing is perfect as to when to expect her. Let's hope.
LORI Cute Friday pics ;D

HAPPY FRIDAY! :D
The 2 Women's Final Four games are tonight, on ESPN. The NC State women will play SC at 7pm (Eastern times). The Iowa women (with phenom Caitlin Clark, who won the women's Naismith Trophy yesterday) plays UCONN after the NC State game, or around 9pm (Eastern). The winners of those 2 womens games will play each other for the Women's NCAA Basketball Championship, on Sunday at 5pm (Eastern time), which will air both on the ABC network, and on ESPN, with different people calling the game on the 2 different channels, so take your pick. ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVX93-p69Pk
The 2 Men's NCAA Final Four games will be played on Saturday. The NC State men will play Purdue at 6pm (Eastern), and the UCONN men will play Alabama afterward, around 8:30pm (Eastern). Both of those games will air on 3 different TV channels - TBS, TNT, and TruTV. The winners will play each other on Monday for the Men's NCAA Championship title at 9p (Eastern), also on all 3 channels, TBS, TNT, and TruTV.
My 4 twin "greats" and their dad went to visit at the home of my LGN and Baby Bro and family one afternoon/evening this week. So all those 1st cousin kids got to spend some time playing together there. They had a ball. :) The next day (yesterday), they all rode Amtrak from DC to Baltimore and went to the Baltimore Aquarium together, and had a great time! Then they also spent some time relaxing, sightseeing, and getting a bite to eat at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Fun times. :)

karen - I have looked around the RRP FB page, and on their blog, and I have not seen them mention anything about Mr T missing.
Lori - Love the pics of Iris.
Lani - Hope Iris accepts a mate too, and does let ole Louis string her along! I hope Mr. T returns too, if he really is missing. Glad to hear the confirmation of Iris.
tsk - Gotcha! I was thinking, I don't remember zipping around anything curvy like that.
oldguy - Thanks for the video.
baz - Great pics, looks like a great time for all!
-
LANI Love the cowboy hat on that cute fella' ;D Just heard they had a 4.0 aftershock late this afternoon. Our cable was cut the same way last year. >:( Hawaiian music is so melodic and mesmerizing. So glad confirmation is made of Iris - It did look her "crown" to me ;) ;)
BAZI What nice photos of the gathering of the cousins and siblings with Grandma /Auntie.
Too windy and cold when I tried to do some garden work. Lawn service came late afternoon to do the "spring clean-up". That's all we hire them for as Tim does all the fertilizing and lawn mowing.
-
Lani-many thanks for the lavender oil infusion info ;) ; Mike make it home?; 'Cowpoke Red', LOL; loved the Hawaiian music
Lani & CLynn & Lori- many thanks for the nests updates and photos
CLynn -poor Ed; Jim has appts w/ pneumologist / nephrologist. Well, he has one and
not the other; LOL Shark /Leggo; colorful tea cups
Tsk, Lisa, Lori- pretty springtime greetings this AM
OG- any word from BL?
KB- handsome elephant
Tig- hope all's well
Well---Jim stopped by the Little Clinic on his way home- parking lot was full to capacity---he went in to check it out all chairs full and standing room only.
So when he got home and told me. I ended up calling my PCP and got an appt for late Monday afternoon with her NP. Which worked out perfectly.
I guess that's all...
Good Night Everyone...SEDs.

PHYL Hang in there til Monday, then...
Lost a Bible study friend Kathleen ( 79)who passed last night suddenly of a cardiac arrest ( dtr took her to ER for shortness of breath and it happened in ER)and I have been mourning her all day. I have known her for only 7 years but she has been a very influential person in my life. She always said she wanted to die quickly and before our pastor emeritus died as she wanted him to say her funeral mass. ;) ;) And he will!!- a true gift. Fr Ron is 91 and a good friend of Kathleen's. He still says mass regularly and is sharp as a tack.
Prayers for her family who she loved dearly and took "grandmothership" very seriously. She had the whole gang over for Easter so there is a blessing.
Night all.
-
Tsk, very sorry to hear of the sudden death of your dear
friend Kathleen! She sounds like a wonderful person and one who will be hard to replace. Good for Fr Ron!
Lisa, thanks for looking, i was not able to find anything either. Will be surprised if there is a hatch on the second egg! Hoping not!
Phyl, hope you are over your illness by the time your Monday appointment rolls around! Chicken soup and lots of fluids!
Have a nice niteBeakers, seds.
Oh, Baz, lovely pictures!
-
Tsk Your Kathleen sounds like a good friend to you and you're glad to have shared the years with her. There is solace too in that she got her final wishes in the end. Prayers to her, her family, friends, and her dear friend, you.

Phyl - Hope you got to see a doc today and that you will be getting better now.
Clynn - Okay, Spring break over, so the next holiday for the Munchkins at school will probably be Memorial weekend! Are the kitties still doing well together? :)
Kb - Spring will show up soon! ;D
Tsk - Exactly right about about the employees who are out of work right now. Hope they are able to get back to work soon! I too hope that is Iris! Our weather today was like yours; windy and cold!
Oh no, so sad and sorry about your bible study friend passing.{{{Tsk}}} She sure sounds like she was a very special person. :-*
LisaG - You & Jeff have a nice weekend!
Karen - The 'Today' Show got interrupted this morning with the report of the Earthquake over on the E. coast! Good that they didn't know of any injuries (seems everybody was fine), but there was some damage in places.
Og - Yes that is what was reported on the earthquake! Thank you for the info!
Lori - Thanks for the Hellgate Osprey cam!!
Baz - Great women's game tonight!!!! It just finished!!!! What a nail biter. Awesome ;D Cute family pics!
Hi Puff :)
Og - Good info and thanks for links!
Good night everyone - SEDs and sleep well.

Congratulations IOWA Women!! Great game!!! Held my breath! :o
Lisa, I'm glad to read your post about Mr T not missing.
Baz, beautiful family pics, looks like a fun time!
{{{Phyl}}} Sorry the clinic was filled/// Hopefully, each day will help you till your appt on Monday... I hope you do try the Lavender. I use sweet grass, sweet orange or lemon infusion oil daily through the spring. At night I like lavender. It doesn't bother Mike. Since he stopped smoking 40 years ago, he can't smell a thing, except turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
{{{Tsk}}} I'm sorry for the sudden loss of your friend Kathleen. So much friendship, respect and love packed into those special years. {{{Fr. Ron}}} Prayers for her family, friends and you. :-*
Oldguy, wonderful to see a post from Lesley the Bird Nerd. Beautiful Chickadee. ... Love the cat that sits in funny positions... Hana loves Maru .... Qkids did a great job with one of my favorite songs Centerfield!
BL, I hope all is well with you Pip and Kopje. :)
{{{Tig}}} :)
Eagles, yes, Mike is home and it was a successful trip. How was your time with your mom?
Kb, he thought Minneapolis was very pretty.
Good night!

BL, I hope you and all at your home are okay, and that you haven't suffered any serious property damage from the 4.8 earthquake in NJ this morning, and the many aftershocks.
I watched much of both of the women's Final Four games tonight. NC State had a very good 1st half against unbeaten South Carolina, but didn't perform well in the 2nd half, and lost by a wide margin. The Iowa v UCONN game was close, and both teams played hard throughout. Caitlin's shooting was off in the 1st half, but she was hitting them in the 2nd half. Many players on both teams had shining moments, and the lead changed hands several times. It was a nailbiter ending, but Iowa prevailed and won by 2 points. So tonight's two winning number 1 seeds, unbeaten South Carolina and Iowa, will face off in the Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament Championship Game on Sunday at 5pm, Eastern.
I'm so happy to see Iris has safely returned to her nest!! :-* :-*
Waving to All the Beakers, and wishing you a restful Good Night.

Trempealeau Eagles Update
April 5, 2024 RaptorResource
What’s going on at the Trempealeau eagle nest and where is Mr. T? We haven’t seen him since March 28. Prior to that, he and Mrs. T were exchanging incubation duties and he was acting like a normal eagle Dad. But we haven’t seen him on the nest since his last shift and no one has reported or found him, live or dead, in the vicinity of the nest.

Phyl, good cat pics, mooning the neighbors! Sam and Sophie love sitting at the front window, I wonder if people walking by notice them! Love the sounds in the 365! So Mr. T is missing. Dang. I hate to hear that. Hang in there today and hopefully you can get some help from the Dr tomorrow. I bet Maggie knows you aren't feeling well...
baz, I did sleep very well last night, thank you! See you later!
Lani, I thought it was funny, Mike can't smell anything but turkey! Not even the Cozy Burgers? Good to hear he had a good trip tp Minneapolis and is safe at home for the weekend.
E4E, the Munchkins have no school today, they are off for the eclipse. It's crazy! And I am sure there will be a couple more days off for teacher's workshops or something like that!
Munchkin pictures from yesterday! Talon actually played Barbies with Bella. I think he was saving his computer time for later, he only gets to spend so much time a day playing games. In the one picture he was coming his hair with Barbie's comb, Bella thought that was funny!

Morning.
Lani - happy to hear Mike was successful in Minneapolis...nice to hear his thoughts about it too...Pretty is yet to come imho...when the leafs open on the trees and everything turns green!
In fact I'll be spending more time outside today and may drop crab grass/weed preventer?..depends on how quickly Amazon delivers today.
Lots of rain coming tomorrow into Monday so wouldn't have to water....soil temps are warmer than last time this year...yes my lilacs haven't bloomed yet and soil temp has nudged to 50 but back down to 40 but I've had success laying this product out even with snow in some areas before...
Close to 60 above once again today and the sun is out at the moment.
Can you tell I'm anxious?...LOL

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE
The sun is finally shining here today after several cloudy rainy days. We will hit 51 degrees - An outdoor walk may be in order. ;)
OLDGUY Thanks for the update on Lesley - You'll update us I hope when the new video comes out. ;) Hana surely seeks solace in Maru Cute Santi piece. clever cat. ;D I liked comparing the new Runaround Sue to the first one they did!!! Thanks for the update on Iowa. They were losing when I went to bed. :o
BAZI Glad I was sleeping during that nail biter. LOLOL That will be some final game!!!
(((PHYL))) Noah's ark - LOLOL Kind of tenuous at the Trempealeau nest :(
CLYNN Talon's a good brother :-*
KB Oh that happy dog makes me laugh ;D
-
Not a cloud in the sky tsk I'm counting on 60 for my area today!
Ending was good but took every ounce of effort and every sec left for Iowa to get the win. Long wait until Sunday.
Going to get to my feathered friends today - they're starting to picket me. Had to handle Good Sam this week 4 different times/appointments. Ugly weather anyway. Birds will be happy.
Not sure who posted the site for the PCH video, maybe OG? Since all the posting on the subject earlier this week it verifies any #1 voters choice. I didn't realize it was 655 miles north to south. Much longer then the Ireland cliffs at 15 miles, sans the spectacular views, too. Makes me want to take the drive again. But just thinking about things - - -Top to bottom before was with Ton and 4 of our friends. I'm the only one left in the group. :'(
Really going to be a tough call for the new nest in Wisconsin. I think it was Lisa who caught the pic of the pip in the egg left. Because of care needed and temps there, it was an iffy call before. It would really put pressure on mom to do survival duties for 2. We'll probably all be waiting for any more progress today on that pip.

some bounce
I'm around. Had to take a break.
((TSK))
I picked up my lawn supplies Thursday but am watching soil temps for right time to apply. I also went to the hardware store for some items and almost fell in their parking lot. Our car took a little beating from my cane and there was a release of adrenaline, but all is well.
I visited my heart doctor yesterday, first time in 11 years. This is the second time I am now seeing the son of the original doctor!! I'm officially old. He prescribed a 30 day heart rhythm monitor to evaluate for silent or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation. Joy.
I may clean up some cones etc. from our spruce later when it warms up.
I cheered for Caitlin. I can cheer for Paige next year.

((tsk)) - So sorry to hear of Kathleen's passing, prayers to you and her family!
Phyl - Sorry you didn't get into the lil clinic yesterday, but glad to hear you got an appt with your PCP's NP on Monday.
karen - Did you see the RRP post about Trempealeau? It was posted yesterday after you asked me about it.
oldguy - Thanks for letting us know BL logged in, and thanks for the videos.
E4E - Thanks, and I hope you & Kris have a nice weekend, too.
Lani - Mr. T is missing, per RRP's post last evening. :( Loving your pics from the RRP cams. :D I had to laugh when you said, Mike can't smell anything but turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They should bottle that smell, IMO!
baz - Waving back at ya! :)
clynn - Great pics of the munchkins!
kb - Hope you get your delivery soon, so you can put your crab grass/weed preventer down before the rain.
Puff - I hope the Wisconsin nest does OK. That will be a tough job for that mom. That was not me that posted the pic, looks like a newbie, or maybe someone who knows the nest very well?
tig - I am glad that you did not fall, and the cane and car helped stop the fall.

Norman sometimes get upset with Sadie's stuffed animals! I don't know why. ??? Of course, it upsets Sadie, and she'll move the toy to Mike's office, and place on his couch. There's 5 stuffed toys laying there.

{{{Tig}}} Take it easy 🙏
Puff, Yesterday, we had our last slushy rainy day.... That's probably it for awhile. It'll be in the 70's starting Weds.... the last 4th quarter of the Iowa game was a nail biter for sure... lots of prayers for Mrs. T.
{{{Tsk}}} darling ginger cats. A good day for walking.
Kb, cute pup barking at it's shadow. The rest of the pics in your X thread has a lot of wonderful animal videos too.... nice day temp, we're heading up the to the 70's next week.
Clynn, OOPS, I forgot he can smell cozies, especially the onions! Mike lost the sense of smell after several years of heavy smoking, college, Navy, etc. He quit when he turned 40... he can't smell perfume, flowers, cut grass, popcorn or when the girls needed their diapers changed. LOL! But, he can smell burgers and roast turkey.... great pics of the munchkins! Sitting on the floor, Talon and Bella look to be the same height and close to age... What a good brother and sister, loving relationship. :-* ... fun Caturday pics.
Phyl, yes, I use a diffuser :) ... Noah's Ark ;D ... cats/money! LOL! ... sweet Roe Deer herd.... I lit a candle in our Beak candle room two nights ago for Trempealeau eagle nest 🙏

Well, I just came up from working outside out back and watched my neighbor back his van which was too close to the property line, just drive over 3 pieces of fencing and they are wrecked. They are just inside the property line. The reason they are there as they keep driving on my property.
Actually it was a friend/relative and the owner saw it..he doesn't speak English but someone else did and I said he doesn't use his mirrors..Yep the other guy said yep...I said don't let him drive again.
They jammed the crooked pieces best they could and I went out to straighten a bit better. It looks awful and I will have to replace them.
I DID put a boulder inside the fence. To bad he missed that!
Resting and then going to drop my crabgrass preventer. It doesn't have fertilizer in it...I use milorganite for that much later in May...

TIG You've been busy and avoiding falls at all cost. :-* Good idea with the heart monitor since it has been 11 years. They are much smaller now and you can shower with them - at least Tim's was that kind. Just saw a Youtube video about how to plant pinecones in a pot. I keep forgetting to look for them on my walk. ???
LANI LOL Sylvester and Tweedy ;D Funny behavior with Norman's reaction to Sadie's toys LOL Just did a 30 min walk and 1 thing leads to another..Did some perennial cut downs and took the 3 hoses out for Tim to hook up. Want to get the bird bath out and fill it. ;) ;) I will stop with that or will feel it later ::) ::) Those 3 cat/kitty vids were perfect.
KB DANG Maybe you should make a whole row of boulders? How long is the fence?

Ha, I just talked with Dennis and Vi about doing that!....fence is over 15 feet long.. maybe needs to be a lot taller? ...er um, maybe they need to learn how to drive?
But, it's the last 5-7 feet they run over, not the 15 feet...they also repeatedly drive over the curb, um city property.

HAPPY CATURDAY BEAKERS! :D

I'm so sorry to hear the update on Mr. T, the MIA Bald Eagle at the Wisconsin nest. Talons crossed for him, and for Mrs. T, incubating alone now. :-* :-*
Lani, LOL, Bandit takes his stuffed toys to the sofa in Mike's office, and tells Norman he will have to go through Dad to get to them again! :D :-* :-*
Clynn, love the pics of Bella and Talon! :-* :-* They have such a great sibling bond, and will always be close. That's so great to see. Talon is a great big brother to Bella. LOL on him test driving the Barbie comb. ;) :D Clynn, I double-checked to be sure, and today is Saturday. ;) ;) ;)
((Phyl)), sorry about your voice. Hang in there, and keep resting and doing what you're doing.
((TSK)), glad you're getting sun today! :-*
Lisa, will you be visiting with little Sydney anytime soon?
Tig, glad you caught yourself before hitting the ground. Good to get it checked out, but I hope it isn't afib. My Mtns Sis is managing hers ok with meds now.
BL, check in with a report when you can. Hope all is ship shape there and all are okay, and unmoved. Did the rattle rattle Kopje?
OG, good luck at cards tonight!
Karen, I hope Piper is still doing fine after the chocolate bunny affair, and maybe y'all are enjoying a little sun in the yard today. Much warmer temps come back this coming week there! :)
E4E, are you drying out any yet? Did any water find its way into the garage again? I hope not much, if any.
I haven't felt like walking the last several days. But today looked like a good day for an upright walk in the chilly sun. About a half block from home, I ran into a neighbor walking her sweet German Shorthair, Birdie, and she had another German Shorthair with her too, who I hadn't seen before. So I stopped to chat with her and get a good hug with Birdie, and remark on the other dog. She sometimes walks another person's Boxer, so I thought she might be walking a friend's dog today, too. It turned out she adopted the 2nd German Shorthair with her just yesterday afternoon, as a rescue in SC. Her Birdie was a rescue, too, a little over 2 years ago. Early indications all are getting along well. The new rescue, Dottie, hit the jackpot. Her new "Mommy" is the best doggy-mom! I loved on both pooches for a bit, and then turned to continue my walk, after checking my mail, as I was right beside our mail bldg. Then I walked maybe 15 steps, and kerplunk! My upright walk took a sudden flying 90-degree rotation, and I landed cheekbone side down on the sidewalk. It took me a minute to get limbs right and get up. Got an unplanned heavy duty exfoliation of knees, heels of palms, cheekbone, cheek, and eyebrow bone. Three middle fingers on my non-dominant right hand work, but don't want to - they suffered a wild test of mobility. No, they aren't supposed to bend in that direction. My middle finger looks like it was recently attached from a much larger person. Those 3 middle fingers still work, but not well. One cheek looks like I don't know how to blend in a heavy dose of rouge, and that I mis-applied a dose of brown and purple eyeshadow in places where it isn't supposed to be. My skull took a licking on the side above my temple, and gave me a nasty headache. After I got myself upright, I walked home to take anti-inflammatories right away. My headache is already way better. A couple of finger tendons seem to have been over-stressed, and I have a fresh batch of scrapes and bruises, liberally distributed, but nothing seems broken. Maybe I will walk later. After all, the impact resistant sunglasses I was wearing passed their test! ::)
We'll see. ::) 8)
Reminder of Men's Final Four games: NC State men v Purdue at 6p, Eastern today. Then UCONN men v Alabama play afterward. The winners of those 2 games will play each other for the whole banana Monday night. Go State! ;D
Later, Gators! Stay upright when it's called for and if at all possible. 8)

Back inside, safe.
TSK... these are annoying cones... about the size of your thumbnail. I'll find out next Friday about the monitor vs. showering and swimming. That is IF Medicare approves.
BAZ... I have AFib. The monitor is to determine whether I'm
having "breakthroughs" when I don't realize it... during sleep.
I'm now watching our MN Golden Gopher women BB in the WNIT championship game!
KB... I vote boulders... if you can find some inexpensive
TTFN
-
Tig - everyone from sis to neighbors concur with you.
I'll have to check boulders out...and not so expensive.
-
KB - here is a website with some good info and general pricing... This is general for US - since most of Minn. has them popping out of the ground every spring - cost may be less..

HAPPY CATURDAY BEAKERS! :D
BL, check in with a report when you can. Hope all is ship shape there and all are okay, and unmoved. Did the rattle rattle Kopje?
Pip, Kopje and I are just fine. Thank you all for the Beaker concern. 8)
In fact we didn't feel a thing as we were driving north on the NYS Thruway at 70 mph at the time the 4.8 hit.
We called our 'critter sitter' back at the abode as soon as we heard the news on the radio.
She said it rattled some dishes and a few pictures are askew but other than that all is A-OK at home. 8)
It did freak her out a bit at 1st, but she lived in CA for a few years and quickly realized that it was an earthquake.
She also said that some of the critters "wigged out" right before the shaking began and for a little while after .. they all settled down shortly after the shaking ended she said. :-* :-*
The mag 4.8 quake originated about 42 miles SW of us on the Ramapo Fault. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramapo_Fault)
That same fault line runs only a few miles west of our home so we are very glad the Magnitude wasn't higher and the epicenter wasn't that close to us.
Most importantly no one was hurt and there was no serious infrastructure damage reported in the Tri-State area that we have heard of.
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=40.19776,-75.72601&extent=41.27987,-73.08929&range=week&magnitude=all&sort=largest&listOnlyShown=true&showPlateBoundaries=false&baseLayer=street
Baz now will you please stop trying to beat up on that asphalt with your face .. what did it do to you anyway? ;)
Don't make us send Lani's Mike over there to school you on asphalt abuse. ;)
Seriously hope you are okay. :-*
Perhaps a glash of wine is in order for the NCAA Games ? ;)

Kb we live just south of the Rockland County, NY line.
They are still giving away big landscaping fence defense boulders for free .. well since the last Ice Age anyway.
The Amazon Drone shipping and placement cost is the rub ..
Not to mention it's highly inaccurate and has been known to damage unruly neighbors vans and barbecues. ;D
Unless you use Amazon Prime Drone Delivery (APDD) of course .. which I would opt out of if I was you . ;) :P
All deer, trees and fence must stay.
There are so many critters amongst us all that enrich Pip and I Karen.
Many that own us.

BL. Glad to hear all is good with you and yours! What kind of critters to you have and, how many!? Good advice for Baz!
Kb, If that land was my little piece of Paradise, I would get the boulders and inter plant them with Yucca plants! Might consider yuccas as rabbit fencing!
Lisa, I am finally clear on the Trempealeau nest , I think!
Posted in that new thread! We have seen a one parent deal in decorah and swfl but the eaglets were older than this little fluff ball.

Lots of good Caturdays gang!
Lani- in the past I've gotten a bottle essential oils from Aveda.com ---the Bergamot . Think I'll check their selection again. Poor Sadie and her toys , she
knows to trust them to Mike, that's sweet. Have wondered about getting a stuffed toy for Maggie, might be interesting to see what she does w/ it.
CLynn- luv the cat straddling the venetian blinds; Sam and Sophie in the window, I bet they're noticed. Luv snaps of the Munchkins, looks like Talon/Bella have a
good relationship
KB- thanks for the blue footed Boobie-has been a while; that 'happy' dog LOL; your weed preventer---'Preen" ? Bouders ;)
Tsk-sweet Caturday this Am; It's been 6 yrs since my cervical spine surgery, if I'm ever gonna get back to walking for exercise--otta be this year, eh?
Don;'t over due. Gosh I need to get out and do the 'yard thing'. Neither of us has the gumption.
Tig- heart monitor would be in order, relieved you didn't fall
Lisa- cute Caturday---I hoping for 'drugs' come Monday. LOL
Puff- Lani- hoping the Trempealeau nest will be fine, sharing concerns
Lani- Sylvester & Tweetie bird LOL He never did catch Tweetie; tks for Trempealeau's candle9 did one here) the nest is gonna need it. Mike has his 'smell' I have
read that's true for some folks; enjoyed cat vids
Baz- bubble wrap ;) ; cute Caturday; I woke myself up at 4am coughing violently albeit not in vain sure was a strain.
BL- glad you checked in
OG- hopefully a good card game tonight; glad for good news from NJ & EQ; Understanding Cat Math, LOL

OH BAZI It sounds terrible but you tell it in such a humorous way...DID YOU ice your hand?? Stick the whole hand in a bowl of ice water for about 5-10 min? Ice pack on the side of your head? Did you trip?
T40 Loved the reaction to cat kisses LOL Hefty Dog getting into the space with the 2 cats ;D I think my cat is broken LOL

Too funny, BL...I laughed out loud... wish there was such a thing!..APDD...I'm still mad at her. 3 times is too much. I'll come up with something eventually.
Glad that earthquake didn't bother anything/anybody..after living in Cali for 20 years and experiencing them tens or hundreds of times I kind of laughed at all the tv coverage but I do know it's not a typical thing out east so it would be freaky.
Chris suggested large tacks that stick up!....to pierce a tire or two ya know.
Not Preen, Phyl. I tried that a few times in my gardens but never worked so I have resorted to mountains of mulch between plants...that works for me.
My yard routine: I drop crabgrass preventer early on the grass, Milorganite fertilizer (organic) 4 times a season and grubex twice. Grubex is for our Japanese Beetle infestations in this area.

Kb, Like Tsk and Tig vote boulders. Some of my neighbors have boulders as fencing to prevent parking on their property.
{{{Tig}}} sending gentle hugs and prayers.... rest easy. :-*
Tsk, Like you I couldn't stop at just doing one thing outside today. I'm ready to start digging in the planter areas. ;D
Oldguy, good suggestion for Kb. Thanks for links.... love Simon's cats ;D ... Thanks for the Iceland volcano update, it's strange to see a bubbling vent and in the distance snow covered hills. Too bad about destroyed moss beds.
SED Lisa :-*
{{{Baz}}} Oh no, Ouch! Your fall sounds terrible. And you had such a nice walk and then visit with the rescued pups/owners.... I hope you didn't break or sprain anything. You'll be sore for awhile. :-\ I hope you put you used ice packs, feet up, lots of rest and glass of wine later for the games... The cats don't go into Mike's office unless I do, Sadie spends part of the morning sleeping on Mike's office couch and uses her special stuffed toys as her pillow. Good games today, UCONN and Purdue played hard the 2nd half. Looking forward to the women's game tomorrow. I hope you have a comfortable night's sleep.
T40, Loved your Caturday short videos, especially the bonus.
BL, good to see your post. Glad all is well with you and Pip and critters... thanks for map.... good advice for Kb and Baz ;D
{{{Phyl}}} does Maggie like catnip? Maybe a toy with catnip.... oh my the two Lynx! ;D . sending prayers for a good night's sleep... SED Bob
Eagles, Pretty colorful Capitola Village/Beach buildings... Looks like a fun place to visit, especially the nice sandy beach. ;D
Good night!

Good Morning Everyone. Sunday blessings.
Currently: 42F clear with a High 76F sunny, Low 42F
Lani- Maggie's had catnip toy all her life, a sock dog that sits on one of the stair risers .Not so often now. But that gal would snatch it up in
her mouth and roll with it---i shake it while growling. Cute pup last night
BL- lynxes are beautiful big cats, luv them and those snowshoes they wear :o
Tsk- understood
Eagles- I miss California---post away ; the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) nests are interesting and no one post about them. Awesome big raptors and
the longest living in the world at 50 yrs and not pretty to look at. But impressive 7' wing span to say the least
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

This is Ophelia, a white German Shepherd, the story behind is too long for this post...heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
eagles4 - yes, I do take care of things, And, responsibilities in life provide meaning. I am it around here. Real and important meaning. Especially after losing the love of my life.
After responsibilities there is time for play...just a little bit of time with Chris and Ollie.
BL - wow, wolverines. Scott used to say the most dangerous animal on planet earth!..
It seems certain it will rain all day today....yah!...my yard product will be watered in from Mother Nature.

Phyl, love the 365, wrens have the prettiest song! Thanks for Amy's Blog! Hope you are feeling a bit better. Ed went to Urgent Care with his shoulder/nerve pain yesterday. They gave him a prescription for prednisone and a shot of something, but he said it hasn't helped. This is from a bicycle crash over 20 years ago, it has flared up for some reason. I hope you get relief today!
Lani, not quite warm enough to work out in the yard here yet but it's coming, maybe this week! I am looking forward to having the windows open!
E4E, love that little resort on the beach! I have been to Canon Beach in Oregon, your picture reminded me of it! Lots of little shops to explore!
(https://www.visitoregon.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Cannon-Beach-City-and-Haystack-Rock-Aerial-1024x533.jpg)
tsk, doesn't it feel good when you get a nice sunny day after a few crappy days!
baz, OhMyGoodness what a fall you took! I am glad to hear nothing is broken, but I bet you look like someone beat the crap out of you! You need a few days of rest and ice packs! Did you trip on something? Good Grief!
BL, glad to hear you are all okay!
T40, good videos, still watching them!
oldguy, hope you did well at cards! Thanks for the Iceland update!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING
EAGLES Capitola What a colorful place to visit :)
LANI I know it is still way too soon here to do much outdoors but some of the non weather related tasks could be done. I want to transplant 2 hostas out of a fern garden that has taken over but they are not even up yet ::) Beautiful coloring on the good night pup.
PHYL 365 I love wrens and had a wren house up in the backyard. Something chewed the small opening and now it is too big. :( Interesting about the planets aligning.
CLYNN Sorry to hear about Ed's shoulder. Maybe takes a day or two for injection to work? My big April project is doing a full cleaning of the 3 season porch. But has to be over 50 to work out there LOL We do have rain coming in so they say. Yes, I'm a different person when the sun is shining ;) ;) Thanks for R&R nest building vid. Very determined and focused LOL

Good Morning Beakers.....Happy Sunday!

BL - Glad to hear that you all are OK.
karen - I am glad the Trempealeau nest is all straight. ;D Such drama at the nests!
Phyl - LOL, hoping for drugs. Thanks for all the links.
E4E - The weather was cool and windy yesterday, but today is sunny with temps of 58. It might be a good day to grill. Love the lil colorful businesses!
Lani - Awww, sweet good night pic!
kb - Yay, your yard is going to get watered.
clynn - Pretty pic from Canon Beach. Did I miss a post from you on why R&R are not on their usual spot?
tsk, tig, Puff and all - Morning :)

Good news about the trempealeau nest but tge nest in the same county , in Blair was a continual disaster with injuries to the female, disappearances and finally egg destruction by a raccoon! Farmers or someone leaving a dead deer near the base if the nest tree attracting many eagles! Oh my! I hope this nest is not going to have tge same drama! Do not know how many of the beakers watched that nest. Remember MP was there.
Interesting situation with HM and HD. Lisa posted some good pictures in the Decorah Thread!
Sorry Ed is having shoulder pains and no relieve from the injection and pills!
Have you trued Bio Freeze? Usually a goid short term fix! Maybe long enough to bbq!
Spring is in full swing here and today is sunny with a high in the 70’s.
In a few days that will be 80 and soon these highs will take over most of the day and not just for an hour or two, late afternoon!
Have to get ready for the game. Good luck to Iowa, playing an unbeaten team! Should be an exciting game!

Phyl, I hope you're feeling better today... sweet singing of the Eurasian Wren. :-* .. Thanks for Science article, I shared with Mike and Aly.
Kb, beautiful white shepherd.
Clynn, {{{Ed}}} I hope with time, the shot and meds will help.... Wonderful to see Rosie and Richmond building a new nest. Do you know if this light pole is safe?
Tsk, Firewise season is starting next week. Mike is going to Ohio for a week next Sunday. I've got plans to clean the oven, windows, pick up branches and debri in preparation for Firewise time. Our 3 year inspection is May or June. I'm looking forward to it.
Lisa, enjoy your Sunday :-*
BL, now this I would love to do! ;D

BL, glad all is A-OK at your abode after the earthquake. :) I'm not sure I followed your 2 male wolverines post... except the hair-raising part of it! When did you have that experience? Where? How close to you were those wolverines? Yikes!! :o
Lani, oops, I posted about Bandit putting his stuffed animals in Mike's office - my bad... I know it was Sadie. :-*
Clynn, I hate Ed's shoulder is hurting so much. I hope it's better soon! :-* Did you all get to have your re-scheduled Easter dinner this past Friday? Is that why The Munchkins were there?
E4E, I would love to visit Capitola! I will quit asking you if any water got in your garage again from all the recent rains... you aren't answering. LOL. So I don't know if it has, but I hope not much, if any! :)
BL, Lani, Clynn, TSK, Lisa, Tig, and all others... thanks for your concern about my dufus fall yesterday!! ::) (clynn ;) I grew up using that word! Loved seeing you use it the other day!) Here's what happened... I was walking on a concrete sidewalk in my townhome neighborhood. There are several spots where it is unlevel from ground lifting under some of the sidewalk sections. The spot where I tripped is one I am well aware of, but the raised edge of that concrete sidewalk square caught the toe of my right foot, and you know the rest of the story. ::) BL, thankfully, Lani's Mike won't be needed to protect the asphalt, since it was concrete. Asphalt would've been a little kinder to my body blow though. ;)
So that's how my fall happened. That ledge of the uneven concrete sidewalk just reached up and grabbed my foot and it laughed and laughed. I did not.
Hope your scroll button works.
The boring details: The good news is this... the bump on my head was quite superficial, and didn't require any ice. The headache I got from it went away after 1 double dose of anti-inflammatories. My cheek, cheekbone, and eyebrow bone are all good - never needed ice - didn't swell much and I can't detect any bruising or abrasion on them today, just a slight tenderness in one spot on that cheekbone. Yay! The very small abrasions on the heel of each hand are almost gone after I put my miracle healing lotion on it and again for overnight. (Love that stuff for miracle minor skin healing!) The abrasion on 1 knee only bled oh-so very lightly, and there's not even a bruise there, and my knee didn't get any further injury, thankfully - that's the knee that has hated me for decades upon decades already, so I'm glad a flare-up for that wasn't triggered. YAYAY!! Bottom line... the only injury of note is the 3 middle fingers on my right hand, which took the brunt of the fall, and got bent weirdly. My mind was actively telling me during my fall (you know how time sloooowwwsss down when things like that happen) not to use my elbow or wrist to stop myself, and try not to let my skull or face take a beating. So, I'm glad to report, I was able to accommodate my own thoughts, and managed to turn slightly sideways, and use mostly the heel and fingers of that hand to stop the hardest part of the fall, though my head still made incidental contact, and my elbow and wrists stayed in the clear. Finger injuries aren't great, but they are sooo much better to treat than other body parts nearby. ;) ;D Of the 3 fingers that were injured, the ring finger is the least hurt, and doesn't seem to have anything needing treatment, but the middle finger and the index finger need to get checked out, especially the middle finger. I can't grasp well with either, (swelling is not the only thing affecting them. I'm guessing) and they don't have strength, and are both very discolored, with the middle finger the worst. And blood had pooled at the base of them/top of my palm, under the skin, by the time I woke up, and is spreading further from those fingers (you know how that does). I did use ice, but for some reason it didn't occur to me to do so till near the end of the 1st women's basketball last night. Then I iced my hand and fingers for 15 minutes an hour till bedtime. I will ice it again today, but haven't yet. Still taking ibuprofen. Looks like a doctor visit will be in order in the morning to check out those 2 fingers - the middle finger has a new angle to it that I hope won't become a permanent part of my hand profile. ::) :P So I will be on my doctor's office doorstep at opening in the morning, and hope I won't have to sit around too long to be seen, and he can do an x-ray there, My guess is a possible torn tendon on the middle finger, and maybe over-stretched ones in the index finger, but one joint in the middle finger might need extra attention. Hope I'm wrong. I hope all just needs time to self-heal. That's my long and winding story. 8)
Meanwhile... the smoke alarm over my bed, which is too high to reach with my tallest step ladder, started chirping during my morning coffee - every 10 goldarn minutes! Sheese. ::) :P Using my duster on my extension pole did not remedy the issue. The backup battery in it is less than a year old!! Double-sheese!! Geez, eee-vennn.
However, I have put on my "just ignore it" mindset, and am getting things ready to watch the women's NCAA Championship Basketball game - at 3p today, Eastern, between Iowa and South Carolinan. SC is undefeated this year, and doesn't need any extra motivation to win, but probably has some since Iowa beat them last year in their Final Four semifinal game, which ended SC's run, and let Iowa go to the Final Championship game, where Iowa lost to LSU. That was last year. This year, Iowa is smoking on all cylinders right now, and doesn't need more motivation than they already have to win, but probably has some, since they lost in that Championship game last year, and of course want to win the whole shebang today!
Later, Gators! :D

Hi guys... thought i would fill you in a bit... read this later, I don't want to ruin Maggie's birthday!
Grandma Luetta's Birthday is tomorrow, she will be 100 years old. My other Grandma Helen's birthday is the 9th. So, Grandma L (Dads mom) is hanging in there, she is a tough brave woman. Mom and my Aunt had to make the decision about hospice for Grandma H. So she is there now, hanging in there.
My Uncle R passed away this morning suddenly. This is Grandma Luetta's son. The 10th kid out of 10 kids she had including my Dad. Russ was a special Uncle and I will miss him dearly. Thank you for the prayers and kind words for my beautiful grandma's and I will talk to you soon... love ya always, Lori & Destini💜

LOLOL!! My smoke alarm is not chirping!! I was just in my bedroom, exactly when that loud chirp chirped again just now... turns out it's my NOAA Weather Radio!!! ;D ::) It sits next to my bed, under the smoke alarm! The Weather Radio was chirping once every ten minutes, not my smoke alarm!!! Ha ha. I checked it out - it was alerting me that the NOAA weather station I am tuned into has gone off the air. LOL. The "Off" button will do for now. YAYAY!!! That's the best thing that's happened here today!!! ;D ;D ;D

Well Iowa started out like a ball of fire but seemed to lose the magic in the 2nd half. Good game!
BAZI The world looks a lot better now that the NOAA alert button has been "adjusted" LOLOL

Tornado warnings butler & grundy counties... Iowa. Be safe

BE safe all!
Happy Birthday Maggie!
Tsk, I do not watch much women’s Basketball and although I knew .usc had not lost a game all year, I was surprised and impressed with the team! Awesome and steady performance! Iowa had a great year and a lot of positive press! No shame! Off to check on the little babies in Wisconsin!

Famous saying - Build it and they will come - started my day this morning. Paraphrased Feed them and they will come. . .Fed the birds yesterday finally. Also had my guy come to clean the kitchen bay window. Hasn't been done since November. What a mess the outside was. I have 3 feeders over at that side; they were really splattered, spit on, seed/seed skins stuck to the panes, and rain drops - it was terrible. Panes sit about 15 feet above ground, can't get to it from inside because of counter, and I have no inclination to go out in the cold at that time of the year. I amused myself watching the feathered tenants perched and singing in the two large evergreens while I gave them the long-awaited treats - not really treats, they need food to take care of their own avian copulation needs. After the window guy left and I got back inside there were already 3 feeding. THEN early this morning I just sat and sipped my tea watching the bright red guy munching and splitting for the longest time. He sure is pretty and a fine specimen. Haven't see a female yet; maybe they're nesting already. I have to make up for making them all wait.
Sorry Lori for your family health problems/losses recently. You certainly are in a rough situation. As always my prayers. May all the memories and good times give you a godly relief from the down times.
No good results with TV watching today, yesterday. Iowa, Sox, Bulls, Hawks, all on a losing streak. But we did win out on the Trempealeau nest. Hoping for an encouraging view of T2.
tig Hope you feel better, hope your car is only minor and doesn't cost too much or inconvenience you too much. I'm going to have a hot chocolate and get rid of the damp cold feeling. And, an aspirin for the aches caused by overdoing yesterday and today. Bed early tonight. See y'all tomorrow.

Mission San Juan Bautista, CA I have a hand painted Mission that my Dad did years ago. Some of you might remember that he passed back in 2018. His painting of the Mission hangs on my living room wall and is very special. My Dad was not a professional. He painted because he enjoyed this as a hobby in his retirement years.
Lani - Those buildings of Capitola are all rooms to stay in, the restaurants are further south and around the corner from there! It only takes 5 minutes from the motel rooms to walk to the beach and restaurants. It is a visitors paradise with places to eat, beach, shopping, and many places have outdoor eating/sitting/ wine tasting, beer garden, pizza, ice cream & desserts!
Phyl - Yes, the CA Condors are periodically shown on our local news channel. I always hope they survive out there. Big Sur is the prime place they live in. Happy Birthday to your sweet Maggie!!
Kb - No doubt you take care of things around your home & premises! You are dedicated and Scott is proud of you. :-*
Clynn - That is a beautiful picture of Canon Beach in OR. Thank you!
Tsk - I can tell that you can't wait to get started out in your yard for Spring! It will look beautiful! It is just fun to get out in the yard!
LisaG - We grilled tonight for dinner although it was cool outside. Warm weather is coming our way this week!
Hi Karen!
Lani - Awe, what a picture of dog keeping an eye on his/her owner! So beautiful Royal Albatross! Awe, sweet Beanie receiving treatments. :-*
Lori - Sweet birthday greetings for Maggie! Oh no Lori! I'm so sorry about your Uncle Russ passing so suddenly. {{{Lori & family}}}
Baz - So sorry for late reply to your question; we did not have any more flooding in our garage. We had exceptionally lots of rain on that date, and hubby unclogged the drain line going from the side of our garage out to the back yard. We are good now. Thank you!
So sorry for the wounds you are suffering from the fall you took, but I'm sure you will recoup nicely. Take care and do not overdo! :)
Og - Great for your card wins!! Sounds like a fun night!!
Puff -Have a good night's rest!
Hi Tig :)
Beakers have a good night.

Howdy Beakers.
Well, both women's teams played well. It was a good game to watch. I was pulling for Iowa. I even wore black and gold, so I was representin.' Congrats to SC on their win, and an incredible undefeated season. I know the Iowa team is disappointed, but hopefully not for long - they had a really great year! Caitlin Clark is bound for the WNBA. That draft is a week from Monday, I think they said, and many expect her to be a number 1 pick.
Tomorrow, the men play their final game. I haven't decided who I will pull for. I hope it's a good game, and no one gets injured.
TSK, LOL. My nearby NOAA weather reporting station must've gotten their issue taken care of, because they are broadcasting again, so my weather radio is back on again as usual, without the loud chirp. Yay! :D
Lori, I hope you and everyone else stayed safe from the severe weather, and didn't have any property damage.
Karen, yep, if it needs a CAT scan, my doctor will send me elsewhere for that. It's just my guess that there could be a torn tendon or ligament. Hope not. Besides, what do I know... LOL.
E4E, I'm so glad you haven't had any more water getting into the garage! I know that was a very unusual amount of rain you had before in a short period for your area, but there has just been so much rain again, so I didn't know. And Kris being able to get the line clear of any clogs is great! Oh, your father's painting of Mission San Juan Bautista is special. It's so nice you have it hanging in your home. That style of architecture appeals to me, and whenever I see it, I always think of Stanford University!
I hope all the Beakers have a good night. Peace. SED.

Awesome year for Caitlin Clark and Iowa women! It was a great game. She has an exciting life ahead of her. Best wishes to her, family and teammates! And Congratulations to SC! Tomorrow night is the men turn, it should be a good game.
{{{SED Baz}}} glad you're going to the doctor tomorrow. I pray it's just a sprain and easily mended with time and tlc. :( ... YAY for the OFF button! ;D
Tsk, I was amazed how still little Beanie was during treatment, such a good little boy.
Puff Quietly sipping tea and bird watching out of your nice clean window, sounds like a lovely Sunday morning.
Lori, I pray you, family and all will be safe from severe weather. Take care.
Eagles, What a special gift your father gave you. A beautiful painting to pass down through your family. :-* ...the sloths have such sweet and gentle temperament. They are sick, injured, yet, they are so gentle through it all.
SED Karen
{{{SED Phyl, Jim, Maggie}}}

Good Morning Everyone. And, Happy Monday .
Currently: 64F cloudy with a High 73F mostly Low 61F
I've lost my comments twice.
So, this will have to suffice--- Maggie and I want to express our thanks and appreciation for all the birthday greetings yesterday. With a special thanks
to Lori for the lovely birthday collage.
Jim will be off 20mins early to drive me to my PCP's office. Hopefully, an Rx to clear this infection up will be issued. Had a surprise nose bleed Friday.
Thanks for the nests updates and family news, game updates/scores. Glad y'all had fun.
Seeing Eagles picture of Mission San Juan Bautista, CA brought back memories when I was visiting Dan back in the '80s I rented a car and drove coast highway known as Hwy 101 or Mission Highway . About 10 missions roughly 10/ 11 miles apart, a day's walk . I have photos---yes I broke the rules.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, thanks for the eclipse info! Love the 365! I used to watch an osprey nest in Estonia, I could hear the cuckoos in the nearby woods! Good luck at the clinic this morning, I hope they have help for you so you can get back to yourself! It sucks to not feel well...
Lani, love the Royal Albies party, enjoy watching the videos so much! You will be a busy beaver while Mike is gone next week! It will be so nice outside and you can just take your time making sure your firewising is all in order! Oh, those sweet little sloths, I hope they can heal.
baz, good luck at the Dr today, hoping it's something easily taken care of! So how do you look? Like someone who got into a bar fight? Hope you don't hurt too much... I have pictures of both my Dad and Mom when they fell and it looks so much worse than it was! Yes, we had our re-scheduled Easter dinner Friday!
E4E, the San Juan Mission is beautiful, I love that style! How special that your Dad's painting has a special place in your heart and your house!
Puff, your birds are thankful, I am sure! We used to have a lot of Cardinals but I haven't seen as many these last few years. We have two pine trees, that used to attract them. The grackles have been here for a couple of weeks, I think they are early! They usually arrive later with the red winged blackbirds but haven't seen any of those yet.
Lori, so sorry to hear about your Uncle Russ. I know he was very special to you... Grandmothers both holding on, and wow, Grandma Luetta is 100 years old today!

Eric Hanson KCCI Iowa
You did it, ladies.
You filled Kinnick Stadium and road arenas.
You set more records than we can count.
You united a country when almost nothing does.
You attracted fans from 3 to 103 and made Hawkeye fans out of Cyclones.
You proved superstars can pass and younger players can rise to the occasion.
Most importantly, you did it all while proving stars can be role models worth lifting up.
Sure, we’ll remember your results.
But we’ll remember YOU even more.
Thank you for the joy.
Thank you for what you did.
And thank you for way you did it.
- From a grateful state of Iowa and millions more beyond our borders

A few blocks away, a neighbor took this shot of a bufflehead duck pair....we are on their migration route. Hard to spot these and often mistaken for the hooded merganser which is found to stay here..
Just yesterday I wondered where my annual pair of mallard ducks, Herb and Sue, were?
I perused my photos and see they are often here by April 1.....they are late this year.

Clynn There are a lot of us who have the same sentiments - you put it together very well. I hope all, especially the ladies of the team, get to read your accolades. They gave us some bad news relief and made us remember the accomplishments made. Maybe the school has someone in charge of congratulations?

Started my porch cleaning - sun is out and my battery is charging LOL - then went with Tim to doc. Back home and continued cleaning. Now lunch break is over and want to be pretty much done by eclipse time ;) ;)

It's a sunny and clear day. It all begins here at 12:44pm and finishes a bit after 3pm. I have my eclipse glasses from Nashville Totality 2017. So I'm set.
The view here will be partial. I'll catch what Im able---my best view will be from our deck looking out over the retention pond and to the left. Nonetheless awesome.

Lots of little things to do today.
Take out for dinner.
KB- thanks for snow leopards :-* ; leaned a new duck today--bufflehead duck
Lisa-kabobs look yummy; an Rx for antibiotics would held in gratitude
Lani- tks for Bear Study so the BE wins, again. Great photo; Glad Dr. Rogers is leaning about the eagles. enjoyed the Royal report yesterday

GETTING DARKER.....
A bit here too, but total cloud cover here.
Ollie man has gone into Chris' room and sitting on his large chair.
Never ever done that before without me......Hmmm?
Even though dogs don't typically look up at the sun I have blocked his access to outdoors. That's not why he's gone in the darkest room in the house...Chris' room

Hi Beakers!
Busy here... I have a small break in the middle joint of middle finger. My primary doc did the xrays, then sent me to the ortho, where a review was done and a splint was put on, and who set a followup appt for Friday with hand specialist, after swelling down some, for further review.
Later gators. :D

Bounce
Sorry Baz
Well, well... At the last minute we decided to get glasses... in Red Wing, MN and then drive to Lansing, Iowa. We are at the top of Mount Hosmer. As I got out of the car I glanced at our dark car window and saw the sun peek through the clouds! Camper got some great shots of that reflection. We were also able to get some quick views through the breaks in the clouds.
I saw 6 BE nests and many birds on the way down.
I'm sure it will be a longer drive back home... Camper will want to stop and take more pics, now that he is awake. Lol.

In the end we had lots of cloud cover that moved in f-a-s-t... so no viewing. However, it did get darker--almost dusk and the birds got more settled. That's all. :(
If the skies were as clear as they were earlier this morning we'd had 80% coverage of the sun.
Although, I did see the 2017 Totality Nashville in August and a partial in my Junior year of high school . So , ;)
CLynn-Cute snap of the Norths in their eclipse glasses---LOL
Baz-is that all the doc said--'a small break in the middle joint of middle finger. ' ?
-
We should have gone a bit northeast of here tsk. I followed along with Chicago 12 station, they were in Indiannapolis. Not much happening here. We knew it was getting a shade darker, but never lost the light. :-\ What I did note was the drop and then rise of the temp; it started out at 67 and went down to 63, and now back up again, now at 69. Ah ha - the ole solar heat trick. Next one is suppose to be 20 years (?) away. I guess I'll miss that one. ;D

-
Phyl I'm not aware of what percentage was left here, and it did get strange darker and temp fell - But even at 80% gone there is a lot of energy and light still in the old sun! The darkest cover on TV that I saw was from Arkansas - Once it was totally eclipsed there was nothing left but dark. Maybe lasted about 2 -2 1/2 minutes before the sun started peek out with its corona. Another nice job done was at the Indy Speedway.

Ah Puff! It is only 20 years, hang in there!
Happy 100 to Grandma L, Lori! Give her a hug and have ine for yourself!
Ba! Hooe they do not find anything ekse at tge hand soecislist! Wondered if they would refer you! Think hands, lije feet have a gazillion bones!
No eclipse here! 80 here today.
Tig, looking forward toCampers photos!
Saw Carbondale on ABC news on the computer! Total! Clynn, your mother must have had a black out as well!
Lisa, I do not know what to say about the T nest! I do not see any food in the nest! Have been in 6 or 7 times today. Mrs. t brooding! My last check in Mrs T was off the nest and T1 was trying to get out of the bole, did not see t2. She did not bring food. I do not know! You will have to look! Going to steal one of your kabobs for dinner.

CLYNN LOLOL Eclipse glasses on the eagles ::) Like KAREN suggested, it must have been a total coverage for Mom
KB Lulu was on my lap as the living room started getting dark - She just seemed a bit restless with head up and looking around.
BAZI Maybe ortho can just set it and do a small "cast" - likely a splint til it heals? Are you in a lot of pain? And it is your non dominant hand right?
TIG Can't wait to see Camper's pics. :D
PUFF It just got dark like we were going to have a storm. Lots of light still available at 95% cover. The total coverage lasts 4 minutes. I was watching the cities with total coverage fom Mexico to Cleveland to a City in NY and quit when it got to Maine LOL

Bounce
Since I wasn't driving on the way back I could look harder. I counted at least 15 nests. We have another hour to go...

Lani - Thanks for the bear study update, beautiful eagle!
tsk - Croissants for all ;D You have been busy today. The kebabs were delish with the fresh cut pineapple on it. Reading your comment to Puff, that is what it looked like here when eclipse happened, like it was going to storm.
Phyl - Yay, you got your meds. I hope they work quickly!
clynn - Too funny, the DNN eagles and their eclipse glasses. Did you take the pic while you were wearing the glasses?
Lori - Hi there :D Aww, kitty and pup have their glasses on too.
baz - Oh no, sorry about your break in the finger. I hope it heals quickly.
tig - Sounds like a fun day!
Puff - I saw one of my FB friends who lives in the NE say that their temp dropped 10° when eclipse happened.
karen - Will be happy to share a kebab with ya. I took a peek just a bit ago. I did see that Mrs T left for a while, maybe to get herself something to eat and the kiddo's looked cold. She came back and warmed them up. I saw a fish in nest, not very big but it was something. One thing I did notice, there was no bonking from the older one to the lil one! Thank heavens!

Humph - Nobody told me!

White Sox started their game early today, 4 p.m. Playing the Indians today at their home field - that's in Cleveland, for non fans. Well, what they did was let the fans in early, at ?? o'clock. Game was scheduled to start at 4 o'clock, again if you didn't know, that's unusual.
Why do that? Because of the eclipse! Fans, and players, and personnel took a break at about at about 1:30 / 2:00 p.m. for viewing the eclipse that was close enough to give them a good view of the action. Now that was quick thinking, smart business, too. I might even have gone for the extra action if I knew.
BTW, Sox are already losing, again, in the 5th inning 2-0.
P
Ooops now 4-0.
-
TIG You live in big time eagle country ;)
LISA Thanks for the Trempealeau nest update.
Tim will take Lulu in to vet tomorrow mid afternoon for what I suspect is an ear infection - excessive head shaking and ear scratching

Hoping these little ones return to my feeders on a regular basis soon! I put out the 'nectar' fresh on a regular basis even through the winter season, because once in a while a stray will come and feed! :)
Puff - Bet it was nice to have your window cleaned! I know you enjoy your birds!
Phyl - I bet Maggie got special treatment yesterday for her birthday! :) I hope you got some help and a good prognosis from your Doctor today! Hello to Jim and hope he is doing well. So nice that you enjoyed driving along the coast and Hwy 101 in Ca! :) Thanks for links and 365 - cute Cuckoo!
Baz - Thank you so much Baz! I see you have a broken finger - hope you are not in a lot of discomfort and take care and hope you heal completely and quickly. {{Baz}}
Lani - The Sloths are so sweet and special! :-*
Clynn - Thank you Clynn - I do love the painting of the Mission my Dad did, and I will always have it displayed in my home! :-* Great pic of the Iowa girls!!
Tsk - My Dad painted quite of bit of other subjects; Buffalo, horses & wagons (western stuff) and a mixture of other stuff. He would paint from a photo!
Kb - Like your morning pics! Interesting about Ollie!!
LisaG - Your chicken kabobs are beautiful and they actually look too pretty to eat!! Lol!! Bet they were so delicious!!
Tsk - You had a busy day! Hope you got to enjoy the Eclipse. I had 2 of our TVs on to watch the Eclipse. We didn't see much of it over here where we are. It didn't even get dark. Let us know what the Vet does to help Lulu's ears.
Clynn - Cute pic of the DNN family by Sue Bruhling! ;D
Puff - I watched coverage of the Eclipse as it went through a bunch of states, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio and of course in Mazatlan! It was wonderful and so fun to watch on TV!
Karen - I see you 'stole' one of LisaG's kabobs, well I took one too! Lol! ;D
Tig - 15 nests!!!! Wow!!!!
Lori - Sending happy thoughts in your direction for Grandma Luetta's birthday today and also for tomorrow for your Grandma Helen's birthday! Also sending hugs, thoughts & prayers for the passing of your Uncle Russ.
Beakers have a good night.

A very Happy Birthday to Grandma Luetta ...

{{{Phyl}}} sweet calling sounds of the Cuckoo. It reminds me of the sounds of the Cuckoo on the Estonia osprey cams :)..... thank you for history of eclipses.... I hope you can find some relief with your meds today. Feel better soon.
Puff, During eclipse here, the temps dropped to 42, sky turned the day a bit gray, no bird sounds, it was very still. I think we'll miss the next eclipse.. ;D
Clynn, beautiful planter of Baby's Breath.... A lovely piece written by Eric Hansen for IOWA! Great pics! ... Love Smb's Decorah North's pics! LOL! 8) ... beautiful eclipse pic.
Kb, beautiful young girl and Snow Leopard cubs and their story. Never heard of the beautiful Bufflehead duck.
Lisa, awww Miss Misty ;D... yummy looking kebabs! I think it's time for us to start grilling kebabs too. LOL! ... Thanks for updating Karen and all on the Trempealeau nest... I pray Mr T will return or another eagle will show up to help Mrs T. :(.
Lori, great eclipse pics.
{{{Oh sorry Baz }}} I'm sorry, I hope you're not in a lot of discomfort.... take care. :(
Tig, what a fun day you and Camper had. Awesome eagle nest sightings... Looking forward to pics! Take care.
Tsk, I thought the Mexico eclipse beach vids was cool, you could see the ocean waves slow down when the sky goes dark.... {{{Lulu}}}
Eagles, darling Hummingbird pic, I hope they return too. :-*
Happy birthday to Lori's Grandma Luetta!

Lani, love the sounds of the cuckoo coming from the forest...I miss the osprey nests in Estonia. I check occasionally but no nesting there in the last few years. I wonder if the goshawk attacks are the reason they left the area.
E4E, gosh, you can have hummers almost year round! I need to figure out a different place for my feeder, my regular place is gone since we had the deck screened in.
tsk, glad Tim is taking Lulu to the vet, ear infection, easy fix. Ed is now in charge of taking Harley to the vet, I can barely lift the carrier with him in it and I don't want to agitate the arthritis in my wrist. Mom said it didn't get totally dark, it was like duck and it got colder. She was at my Aunt Linda's out in the country for their Eclipse Party. Here is a picture, Aunt Linda and Mom under the blankets, not sure which second or 3rd cousin is under the cute eclipse glasses! And the clan of Aunt Linda's Family!

Lisa, yes, I was wearing the eclipse glasses when I took the pictures. Looking at it through the glasses and camera, it was just a sliver of bright yellow on the right side. The picture didn't show that at all! I was so glad to hear that Mr T has returned! I don't see that nest on explore.org!
baz, I hope they fixed your fingers up and that you aren't in excruciating pain!

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Tuesday!
Currently: 61F cloudy with rain , a high 62F, Low 60F
Doc appt went well. Had a influenza and strep swabs---negative. Doc's NP told both of us to get more rest. As Jim fell asleep in exam room.
Walked out with a Zpack of Azithromycin , Rx for a gel tab for my cough and another---neither of those will I take---side effects too risky for me and size of pills too big for me and was told not to crush. So will just tough it out. Unless Jim can find a cough suppressant I can take, a liquid--- it was a rotten nite. This bug has taken Jim over a month and he's
still a mess. But it slowly clears. Looks like I'll follow suite. Antibiotic will certainly help! It's been just over two weeks for me. ::)
Looking forward to Camper's snaps, tks.
Puff, those clouds dissipated just when we left the hospt. ::) The next eclipse in the US will be 2044 and show only in Montana and The Dakotas.
Clynn- looks like y'all had a big family eclipse gathering and lots of fun
Sadia told Jim that she'd have our lawn mowed for a while and not to worry. God bless her!!!
Glad Lulu has a vet appt. Hope all goes well.
Baz, glad you saw the doc and hopefully you'll be good as new.
Hope everyone had a good nite.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

MORNING EVERYONE
CLYNN Funny metal sculpture :) I have a 5' tall black, scrap iron owl with a swivel head that sits on my patio. I love him.
Tim is in charge of the vet visits with this cat. He's the one that wanted another cat and offered to do more - so I take him up on it!! He cleans the littler daily and is in charge of vet visits ;) ;) When Barb's cat passed away I got her soft carrier so once I clean it (outside with Dawn and the hose )we can use that and it will be lighter. I may get to that this afternoon. Up to 61. ;D today
That is the cutest pic of Mom and Linda under blankets at their eclipse party ;D Good family pic with the matching tee shirts. Looks like a fun time.
PHYL Sounds like a plan! Any chicken soup in the house? " Napkins please" Messy North nest ;) ;) Snow geese all talking at once. Murmuration ;D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADLEY

tsk - Hope all goes well with Lulu at vet visit. Thanks for the birthday wishes for Bradley. :-*
E4E - Aww, so nice of you to put the nectar out even in winter.
Lani - It is hard to watch the Trem nest, cause you think the worse, but Mrs T seems to be doing great so far.
clynn - Aww, love the pics from the Eclipse party with your mom and family. From what I understand, the Trem nest is not on Explore, but on RRP's webpage and you can also view it on YouTube. That is where I have been watching it. At the bottom of the RRP page when you watch it there, it says, watch on Your Tube. I just like the full screen that YT gives you.
Phyl - Thanks for all the links this morning.

We decided to go at 8 a.m. After leaving at 9 a.m., grabbing a to-go bite, and picking up our glasses, we arrived at Lansing around 1:35 and I saw a sign for the city park. Little did we know it would be a harrowing, narrow, STEEP drive up a mountain with no guard rails! It was much more scary than the trip up to Palisades north of Duluth (if you can relate). There was a nice park at the top but the restrooms were closed, so we stayed only about 40 minutes. We drove around town a bit after before heading home and I snapped a pic of the mural.

Good Morning Beakers! Partly cloudy, high of 81 degrees!
First half of the game, last night was not bad! Pretty even match up! Second half was like Purdue said, ok, You win! We are going home now!
Bad weather coming here Wednesday night with rain, possible flooding and tornados! Will keep occurring as long as these unseasonable high temps keep happening !
This morning. E23 woke up and flew all over the nest area and even out of sight! He came back to the nest tree for breakfast and was waiting for a food drop when I signed off!
The Tremplealeau nest is another story! Mrs T is doing a good job with 2 little ones. She has to leave to fish and stretch her wings and must leave her babies alone in 44-46 degree temps! T1 would like to get out of the bole and t2 seems ok to keep snuggling down! Both scan the skies for incoming
Food or mama . Mr. t reminds me of Louis! Weather he is a new dad or has another family is a good question!
Phyll, you sound better already! Have meds and prescriptions. Even if you cannot take all of them! Lol. Does Jim have appointments yet?
Clynn, Albion looks like party time . For sire! Wonderful family pictures! Too bad your Soring visit did not coincide with the eclipse!
Tsk, Lulu?
Tig, great day trio!
Off to puck up taxes and a trip to Home Goods.
s!

For Bradley - enjoy your special day!

Dunrovin Ranch Osprey Nest cam
https://sportsmansparadiseonline.com/dunrovin-osprey-nest-cam/
Swoop arrived yesterday, and has been sitting here most of the morning. Usually Harriet is the first to return.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4b/55/b8/4b55b89b04939d3b8e1e1773333a17ed.png)
I'm not sure if this is Harriet or Swoop tidying up the nest and starting nest bowl. It looks like Harriet to me. But no confirmation in chat room.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ea/d3/b6/ead3b6826f5de5f6adc3f76024c2ee0d.png)
Clynn, I miss watching Irma in Estonia, and I agree the Goshawks have bothered a lot nests, including the White Eagle's nest that Eagle-Duck loved to follow too... Wonderful photos of your mom, Aunt, Albion family, friends and community! ;D ... love the metal sculpture! A pet sitter we used for Sadie/Dewey creates metal art. Her creations reflect her wonderful sense of humor.
Phyl, I'm sorry you're unable to take the meds. I guess you have to tough it out like you said.... doc gave good advice to you both, get lots of rest. {{{Phyl, Jim}}} ... what great news to read in the RRP that a male eagle Mr T? has shown up and is helping. I know we've seen so many of our favorite nests lose a mate as season with eaglets or chicks are starting... We're always reminded that nature is harsh, but that doesn't keep us from getting weeping. I know I do, and it's hard to watch. :( so I just read the updates, then go back when good news happens. :) ... Napkin please for DN baby. LOL!! ;D ... and there goes the Snow Geese migrating to the Artic.... great birthday post for Bradley!
Tsk, Love your morning pic! I hope all goes well for Lulu.
Tig, great pics... love the mural.
Karen, thanks for E23 update and more on Mr T. .. Mrs T doesn't need a mate like Louis. :-\ .. maybe a first time father.
Lisa, RRP blog says there's a male eagle possibly Mr T that finally showed up. I pray that's true and it continues.
Happy birthday Lisa's Bradley! 8)

TIG Cool how RRP was represented ;D Very interesting mural. Lots of clouds for the eclipse shots.
PHYL Good card for Bradley
KAREN So Mr T only shows up intermittently? Tell us what you bought at Home Goods LOLOL
LANI Swoop back home. Maybe Harriet will show up today...hopefully.
-
yep TSK
The clouds cleared around 2:45. Grr. I actually preferred the broken cloud cover because we could easily steal glances and when there was a break quickly put our protective glasses up. And the clouds and trees added some interest to the pics IMHO. Our rear car windows are darkened so they were a great canvas to watch and record what was happening safely.
-
Howdy Beakers! :)
TSK, you may have missed that info in my post before you asked - yes, the ortho put a splint on my middle finger yesterday morning. The hand specialist will see me Friday to review further after more swelling has gone down. I don't expect anything more than the splint that has been already applied, but will know more after that visit on Friday. All 3 middle fingers are sprained. ouch. The small break in the middle joint of the middle finger is a questionable Dx apparently - my primary MD said it's there, and then later, the ortho's PA said maybe it's a break, or maybe it's arthritis showing on that finger's xray. I do have arthritis in all fingers and toes. Whatever, the splint is on for now. What's the word on Lulu's ear? Hope it'll be a short treatment course and that Lulu's all good fast! :-* :-*
Clynn, those are all great pics of your mother and aunt and cousin, and the whole famdamily!! ;) ;D So great to get to have that many in the family together, and get good pics for family albums, too! Love the pics from Albion's eclispse festival!!
TSK, Clynn, Lisa, Karen, Lani, and others who asked about pain... thanks for asking, sending good wishes. Luckily little pain, but all 3 middle fingers are apparently sprained, so any movement with them, or pressure/weight on them, sends a shockwave through, but that's really the only pain. The middle finger is the most injured and painful, but not when at total rest. When I am able to keep that whole hand at complete rest, there's no pain. How often does that happen? LOL, you're right... basically never. :D It's not bad though, and I'm only taking some regular strenth ibuprofen for swelling, and don't really need anything for pain, though that ibupofen is also a pain reliever. I'm not taking much of it, or often.
Tig, nice eclipse pics! Fun adventure - eclipse-chasing. :D Love the PEFA mural, too!! :)
Phyl, I hope you and Jim are on the mend and will feel lots better fast!
Lisa, I hope you saved me one of those chicken with pineapple kabob's you put together and that Jeff so expertly grilled. They looked majorly yum!! :)
E4E, I hope you left one of Lisa's kabobs for me! ;)
Lani, yay for Swoop arriving back in Dunrovin safely! Talons crossed Harriet shows up there soon, too!! :-* :-*

Happy Birthday to Bradley!
The Tremplealeau nest is a disaster! The eaglets have been alone all afternoon! Mrs. t left and Mr. t has no interest in the eaglets! He shows up less than intermittently! I wish someone would go up and get these babies and find a foster home for them! They are too young!
-
tig - Wow, that is a very pretty mural, and thanks for the link to the article. Great pics by Camper. Sorry about the NO guard rails!
karen - Enjoy your trip to Home Goods!
Lani & tsk - Mt T did show up on cam one day a few days ago. He brought a smaller fish to nest, Mrs T took it from him, he then grabs a bigger fish in nest and flies out. The times I have peeked in, I have not seen him, only her on nest. She was gone for a good hour today, but looks like she came back with a fish. Fed the kids, warmed them up, and looks like she left again. The nest view looks like it is closer, so you can't tell if she is just upon the side or what.
Lani - Great pics from Dunrovin.
baz - Of course, I saved you a kebab. :)
karen, Phyl, E4E, Lani and baz - Thanks for the birthday wishes for Bradley :-*

LULU report for those interested. Tim not too happy with substitute vet - " She was young and had glitter on her face/eyes and tattoo on her knuckle" sigh. Gave rabies and distemper. Rabies went well.. Had to do distemper over as not sure entire dose went in.( Tim saw it spray) Then cleaning out her ears - left more infection than right - pushed swab in too far and Lulu yelped. She apologized Sigh... She put drops in and gave him bottle of drops for us to use at home 2x/day. Lulu maintaining her beautiful physique by gaining only 1/2# to 9.5#..Vet thought her coat was gorgeous ;D ;D
TIG Camper's photo had an ominous feel about it. Right about the tree adding interest. Right out of Halloween ;) ;) 8)
BAZI We shall see what the doc says Friday.
KAREN If I were you, I wouldn't watch.... :'( :'( :'(
(((LORI))) So nice of you to do the scanning of pics - a big job.

OH! OH!
Got somewhere new to spend my free (?) time. . .
My fav neighborhood bird supply x place to store my $$$$, just made news of something new they're doing. My Store is called Wild Birds Unlimited. They do sponsor and franchise in several places. Well, the founder and CEO, Jim Carpenter, is now streaming a barred owl set-up in his back yard. Cams are inside and outside the "big" box attached to a tree. Got a lot of the necessaries - i.e. infrared. Female's eggs have already hatched.

Pip, Kopje and I observed the Total Eclipse very near Grand Isle, VT.
It's an island in Lake Champlain about 20 Mi south of the Canadian border.
Our most gracious host and guide for the event was non other than my truly beloved SIL Christine and her rottweiler Ursula.
Kopje & Ursala had never met before but they got along famously for the entire time.
Chris is as native a Vermonter as you would be hard pressed to find and really knows her way around these here parts.
We were going to watch the eclipse from Burlington, VT but it got a bit too crowded for our tastes.
A couple of hours before the eclipse began our wanting to here the wildlife go quiet midday ..
A last hour adjustment was made.
So glad we did as we had the place we were at all to ourselves.
Most Spectacular celestial event I've ever witnessed and I've seen 6 totals.
The weather was just unbelievably great for this time of year for this part of northern VT.
• The cloud cover was zero and the sky was a perfect bluebird blue.
• Temperature 62° F just before totality and dropped 10° F during .. than back up to 62.
• Winds calm.
• The bird silence during was profound.
This one we will take with us to the end.
We all just nodded as we cheered some mighty fine blueberry wine back at the back 40 in Berlin VT on top of the rock.
Very special event in a very special place with very special people ! 8)

Puff, what a cool owl cam! Hats off to Wild Birds Unlimited! I love that store, I have a gift certificate I need to go spend!
tsk, oh, I bet Tim was not too happy about Lulu! Glad she is okay though, no real harm done... :o
Lani, oh, I do hope that second picture at Dunrovin is Harriet! I love the busy bird sounds at that nest. I sent the link to my sister Becky so she could see how many birds she could identify with the Merlin AP.
Lori, oh my, you're scanning pictures of Russ. I hope the memories make you smile even though it is sad that he is gone...
Lisa, must be new parents at the T nest. It may work out, we will just have to wait and see.
baz, well, now you can give the middle finger and it's not your fault! :o :o
BL, it was a most memorable day, for sure!

Tsk- you're in 'the pink' today. No chicken soup. But chicken broth. Tks for the Bradley BD reminder. Thanks for Miss Lulu's report---could have been a vet assistant, of a student vet. Cats are persnickety. :-* :-* :-* for Lulu
Lisa- pretty bouquet this AM. What are the birthday plans ?
Tig-tks for Camper's snaps ;) I can relate to that drive of yours today. In Calif from Palm Spgs. to Idyllwild is nestled in the San Jacinto mountains. There's a highway spiraling the largest mountain where P. Spgs. sits at the foothills. It's called the "Palms to Pines' hwy. When I was a little girl- young adult, there were on 'guard rails' Nada! Not so sure nowadays.
Karen- the pills for my cough are benzonatate capsules . I'm not comfortable with the side effects or the swallowing. So sent Jim to bring home some Robintussin syrup. Just plan 'ol 'tussin' . I regular use Flonase and Padaday sinsus and eyes respectively that sure helps loads.
then there' the Mucinex for the sinuses. I'll have to read up on that one.
Jim is still working on his pulmonary and nephrology appts. Don't ask me which one he as appt with thus far. ::)
Lani- tks for the updates on Dunrovin Ranch Osprey Nest cam. I sure can't tell difference. Great snaps ;)
Sure like that BD for Bradley. Ziva and Blackie (?)
Baz- I think, I should send you a few Maggie 'purrs'. You need some 'megahrtz '. ;D ;)
Lisa- many tks for the Trem nest. Hoping that Mrs. T instincts are good so it all works out in the end.
Lori- your kitten at the laptop would be me try to do all that photo work. How kind of you to do all that for
everyone so they can have some memories or U. Russ; Bradley's birthday goodie looks yummy.
BL--definitely a memorable day. There's nothing like a total eclipse and how it changes everything---even for a few moments. Exactly how I felt about 2017 Total Eclipse here in Nashville. Just awesome...like you, one I'll carry with me forever!
CLynn- awesome Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.
Jim brought home a cough med I used to take ages ago...Delsym. It's specifically for 'allergy coughs' and is non-drowsy .
This one is one of the very best.
Gonna have rain--light rain-- for the next few days.
Puff--had a bit of extra time and peeked in on the owl cam just now 11:35pm Saw mama snoozing on her hatchlings. Then she woke and shifted and
looked in the cams eye.
Good Night Everyone...SEDs.

Just a little PTSD here, as I broke my wrist during the eclipse in 2017. Memorable.

PUFF How about that owl cam!!! Dead rabbit in full view LOL
BL What a wonderful eclipse event for you all. Did the dogs notice the change??
CLYNN As kids I wish we had more time in Bryce for hiking. What a view.
TIG No kidding! I love when it's easy to remember when things like that happen LOLOL

BL, interesting report on your eclipse viewing experience and the impact on you and nature! Thanks for sharing!
My newspaper today reported that our university offered a program in their observatory that was well attended! They reported a 69% coverage Here! Piper and I were surprised.
We were however, dismayed at the weather story that talked about our early heat and storms that are coming to South Georgia tomorrow and Thursday! They. Report strong thunderstorms pushing our hot air, with cold air perhaps bring more tornadoes to our county! Fallen tree have not been picked up from last week yet!
Home Goods was great. I am happy they opened here! Shower mat, shower caddy, 2 Ralph Lauren bed pillows, paper towel holder and a humming bird feeder. All under 100 dollars! Amazing. Picked up my completed taxes! Now wait for the sound of coins hitting my bank account!
May stop watching the new eagle nest and. Switch to. The ospreys!
Hope Lulu forgets about the bad vet 🤠 .

Caitlin Clark received the Wooden Award today for the best women's basketball player in the nation - for the second year in a row. The award ceremony will be Friday, with the other 4 nominated players in attendance.
Brief report about that, with those other players' names and such (just "X" out/close the pop-up, if you get one, to read it - no subscription required):
https://apnews.com/article/wooden-award-caitlin-clark-cfb8c347dd5ad8258c062684f5bb8321
TSK, awww, Lulu... :-* glad she got her shots and ear meds/treatment though. She's a beauty - nice of vet to notice her pretty coat. Not nice of vet to mess up on the shot and the ear swab jab though. Ugh. What do you mean by substitute vet?
Clynn, LOL, you're right - special hand gesture built in!! ... ha ha. I texted a pic of exactly that to my sisters this morning!! ;D I figured it wouldn't be suitable to post here - but I did consider it. 8)
Phyl, hope the meds are helping you and Jim. Thanks for Maggie's purrs.
(((Lori))), you have been doing a long and arduous task, but one that is a labor of love, and will be a wonderful way to honor and share the many memories of your Uncle Russ.
Karen, I saw your weather report for possible severe weather heading your way - do stay alert and you and Piper be at the ready to take cover in whatever spot is safest in your house. I hope you don't get anything bad. That same front comes my way on Thursday, with the chance of severe weather. If that forecast holds till then for my area, I will prestage my "safe room" so Zip and I can run for it on short notice if we need to.
Lisa, I hope your Mama and family down Mobile-area way stay on alert tomorrow - a very high Torcon chance of tornadoes for that area is forecast for tomorrow. I hope your Mama can stay off the roads when that weather is supposed to go through. I know she is hard put to stay home. LOL. ;) The Weather Channel said it will not be a fast moving system, and damaging winds and large hail are major threats. It is a particularly high threat for there tomorrow.
BL, what a wonderful experience you all enjoyed yesterday in VT for the Total Eclipse. A true memory maker and keeper. Blueberry wine to top it off, too! I want a glash! ;)
(((I hope all in the path of the severe weather tonight, tomorrow, and the next couple of days, stay safe.)))
Good Night, All. Peace. SED.

Clynn - Love the family photo of your Mom and Aunt Linda and extended family enjoying the Eclipse!! Looks like they were comfortable and had a good time!! Great pics all around!!
Phyl - Good you went to the Doctor, too bad you are unable to take what he would prescribe, but you know yourself. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.
Tsk - Wow, That is so great of Tim to have wanted to take in another kitty and play an active role in taking Lulu to the Vet and changing the Litter on a daily basis! Thanks for the report on Lulu's vet visit - poor girl (Lulu yelping out). Hope her ear is relieved soon!
LisaG - No prob-hope Bradley had a nice day! Did you have any chicken kabobs left over? If so, send them over here! Lol ;D
Tig - Glad you've had fun on your trip, but sorry for the scary drive up the steep Mt. - Yikes :o :o Oh no, the memory of your wrist during the 2017 Eclipse :(
Karen - Hope you had a good day; picking up taxes and a trip to Home Goods! :) Just read about your trip to Home Goods; oh my gosh!!! You got a lot of good stuff for under 100.00!
Lani - Like the Osprey cam pics!
Baz - Hope your finger mends soon and completely as good as new! Yes, Karen and I left you a Kabob too- thanks LisaG! ;D
BL - Beautiful day for how you all enjoyed the Eclipse - very awesome!
Hi Kb, Oldguy, Puff :)
Lori - Thinking of you {{Lori}}
Beakers have a wonderful night.

{{{Lori}}} sending hugs and prayers as you help with planning for your uncle's funeral. You're the best!
Tsk, a substitute vet, maybe student? Poor Lulu, ouch! and it was her ear that bothered her too. Glad she was okay in the end.
Clynn, awesome pic of Bryce Canyon National Park... I kept checking on our ospreys today. Hoping a new mate for Iris and Harriet returns tomorrow.
awww Puff, darling owlets, a nice cam for you to watch. What a great thing for Wild Birds Unlimited to do!
BL, Thanks for sharing a very memorable day :)
{{{Baz}}} Congrats to Caitlin Clark! Hoping the follow up appt with the hand specialist will help. Take care.
{{{Phyl}}} yep, I was thinking of Bradley's cats when I was looking for a birthday greeting! ;D ... I hope you and Jim are feeling better each day.
Karen, Mrs T is with the eaglets tonight. Prayers for you and Piper be safe during possible severe weather coming your way.

E4E, I am so glad for my Mom that her two sisters live close by! They watch over each other and their greatest pastime is accompanying each other on their doctor visits! Aunt Linda's kids live not too far away, they have a lot of family dinners, etc and always invite Mom and Aunt June. It's a good thing!
baz, the finger thing, LOLOL! Thanks for the info on the Wooden Award, have never heard of it!
karen, I looked to see if there is a Home Goods in Evansville, IN, and there is! I am putting that on our list to go to next week when Mom and I go to Evansville! I think she will love browsing around in there!
Phyl, I sure hope you are feeling better today!
80 years later, and these triplets are still basking in sibling love. ❤️

Good Morning
KAREN Good job with some practical items purchased at Home Goods Lulu is another thing . You should have seen the two of us trying to get those drops in her ears. :o :o We have a new plan today ;) ;) Rough weather ahead for you. We have rain moving in tonight and ALL day tomorrow - predicting 1.5" - I have my gauge out now LOL
BAZI She was filling in for one of the usual vets we have. If I had made the appt ( I left it up to Tim) I would have requested the male vet who we usually get. There are several vets in this office. You sisters will enjoy your "gestured" hand LOLOL Sure will be interesting to see which WNBA team picks up Caitlin.
LANI Sweet little "tortie"? sleeping :)
CLYNN All of your methods for introducing cats sure paid off. Good job. Plan for at least an hour at Home Goods in Evansville. :o
Cool triplets photos. Canyon de Chelly must be in the same area as Bryce.
PHYL 365 huge animals up close :o Very good pics of the new babies :)

tsk, I am planning on 2 hours, my Mom is a world class browser! That must be where I get it. ;D Cathy is somewhere in the middle, Becky is a 'know what you want, go in, get it and leave'. She doesn't collect anything! She does have 3 Longaberger baskets (gifts) and I tell her 3 of something is a COLLECTION!

Clynn, your am picture of flowers looks like glass! Lisa posted some the other day that looked the same and I forgot to mention them! Great photo of the Cherry Blossoms at the tidal Basin, DC! Kitties getting big!
Tsk, how is Lulu today!
I could have purchased a tom of stuff yesterday but left it for another trip! I kept thinking, someone will have to get rid of it! Lol! There was a great deal on Patio umbrellas but I kept telling myself that I would not be able to move it inside prior to storms so ir is still there waiting for another buyer!
Mrs T was brooding this morning after a brief hiatus off the nest! E 23 missed a little snack this morning and F 23 ate it! Hope he sees M in time to get breakfast!
Lani, thanks for the sloth report!

I'm not watching Trempealeau - too upsetting kareng. Little guy just isn't getting enough. Couple little pieces while the other is fed the most - and that really isn't sufficient anyway.
NorthNest is where I'll hang except for when I pick up on some noise from T. Glad I got the sales spiel online from WBU - I see that y'all found it a good view too.

clynn - I hope it works out for the T's. I peeked in early this morning, all looked ok, and Mrs T has a few fish in the pantree. So glad to hear that the kitties are all getting along. :-* Love the utensil wind chime. Beautiful pic of the Cherry blossoms.
Phyl - Hope you are feeling a lil better.
tig - Oh yikes, that is something you won't forget.
karen - Sounds like you had a great Home Goods trip.
baz - I called Mama to let her know, thanks. I could not believe that she was aware, as most of the time she tells me she hasn't heard about the weather. She says, the schools are closing at noon there.
E4E - We had plenty of kebabs left, sending you some, too! ;D
Lani - Oh so sweet, the sleeping kitty.

Watch LGK—the adult male from the Top Track nest site—wander into frame and begin feeding his lumbering, down-covered chick. This is LGK's first visit to the nest in more than 2 weeks! Adult Northern Royal Albatrosses can travel vast distances over the ocean to find food for themselves and their chick. In fact, one adult was tracked traveling more than 8000 miles in a single 2-week foraging trip!

Lisa, beautiful tulips, send some to your sweet mama! :-* I pray she's feeling well... doesn't she have a trip planned for another Miss Fisher Con? Prayers for her and all during the severe weather. Mike said, heavy rains over the Reserve plant near NO... It's suppose to clear up by mid-afternoon.
Puff, things looking good at North nest. Soon it will be hatch day over in gooseland.
Karen, lots of prayers for Mrs T and eaglets.
Tsk, beautiful morning pic..... Good luck on getting Lulu's meds in her ear. I'm looking at Milo, and shaking my head because it's like a wrestling match for me to give him is pain liguid meds once a day. Right now, he's curled up in his bed looking like a sweet ole boy. :-\
Phyl, I hope you're feeling better today... the majestic Bison! ... awww your beautiful BBs, they change so fast.....
{{{Clynn}}} awww, what a lovely pic of Harley, Sophie and Sam! :-* What a great job you did of getting them to this point in their relationship. Harley's colorful ginger fur really stands out in this pic, alongside his sleek and beautiful siblings. Now you can leave on your trip to see your mom with a relieved feeling.... How wonderful your mom has family nearby that help and give lots of TLC. It must be comforting for you and your sisters.... awww Congratulations to the triplets, beautiful pic! ... love the silverware mobile.... beautiful cherry blossoms in DC.
I had a bone density scan and blood work done early this morning for my yearly checkup with my doctor at 9am in the valley tomorrow.
I took Sadie for a walk at 5:30, and will have to do that tomorrow too. We heard the owls calling in the early hours.
We'll hit In and Out on the way home to the pines! A cheeseburger with everything is almost in my grasp! YAY! I'm starving.... ;D
-
CLYNN LOLOL I could probably do 2 hours if I had a place to sit for a bit after hour 1 ;D ;D
KAREN Well for this AM ear dose we tried another method where Tim held he trying to encapsulate her whole body in his arms. I quickly squirted both ears and rubbed real fast - She couldn't get away fast enough. Of course at the vet she was a lamb!! Tim tried letting her smell the dosage bottle first and she made the gagging face LOLOL
LISA Love your tulips. They have some great bunches of tulips at the grocery but they never last too long. I find daffodils do better and the best are carnations. ;D Lulu is shaking her head less today altho I must admit I was gone most of the AM today.
LANI Wow Parent covering 8,000 mi in 2 weeks looking for food. Those "babies" are getting pretty heavy to lift and weigh. :o I had thought to try tonight to get the drops in while she was sleeping in Tim's lap. Suspect it might work for 1 ear and then she'd fly LOL before I could get the other in. Oh well. Lucy was such a good kitty about things like that and she was pilled daily with no problem. I feel bad what you have to go through with Milo. :(. Hope all is well on your yearly check-up ;)
-
Lani - Thanks for the Royal update. The Miss Fisher Con is in New Orleans this year, and Mama is really looking forward to it, as she has helped organize it. Enjoy your In and Out cheeseburger.
tsk - I would love to buy flowers, or get fresh flowers again, but Bandit eats them. Glad to hear that Lulu has less head shaking today, meds must be working.
-
Lisa, must heardthere is a lot of flooding in La, Mississippi and Mobike! Storm moving east toFla panhandle and sw Ga! We are under flood and wind alert! Strip Mall in Monike flooded. Wonder if it is around Florida st.
Watching Wheel of Fortune!

Baz- Happy for the 'Wooden Award' that Caitlin Clark received and happy for any other award she might receive!
Phyl - Hope you are feeling a lil better and that Jim feels better too! Pat on the head for your sweet Maggie. Your temp was similar to ours, except our low was higher than your 38, we were at about 45 early this morning. We had a high of 73 today!
Lani - Thank you so much for your 'Night' prayer lists. Thanks for the Albie's report! Yumm!! In & Out burger for lunch is yummy!!
Clynn - Love the pic of ALL your family of kittys!!! That is so nice that you have family surrounding your Mom and keeping her company!!! Love the picture of the Triplets!!!
LisaG - How is your Mama doing these days? Hopefully doing well :)
Tsk - Good for you!! Sounds like you got the medicine into Lulu's ears!!!! I give kudos to Tim for letting Lulu sniff the medicine ahead of time! ;D
Karen- I loved the pic of fish in the pantry for the T nest that lani posted!
Hi Tig, Lori, Og, Bl, Kb :)
Beakers have a good night.
-
Tsk, cats are so dramatic when they do the gagging face. LOL! ;D
Lisa, How perfect for this year's MF con to be close to your mom! Are you going? ;D
Karen, keeping prayers going for Mrs T and babies, they're sleeping... you and Piper stay dry, warm and safe during storms. :)
Eagles, In and Out Burgers will make up for the diet I've been on for my yearly checkup! ;D ...
{{{Phyl, Jim, Miss Maggie}}} I hope you're feeling better tonight. You and Jim take care.
{{{Baz, Puff, Tig, BL, Oldguy, Clynn}}}

Hi Beakers! I'm just now turning on my PC for the day to do a few things, and checked in here. I have been folllowing the weather in the south. Many power outs, tornadoes, evere thunderstorms and wind damage, trees down from strong winds, and major amts of rain leading to bad flooding in places. The storms are still going. The forecast for severe weather for my area tomorrow has been scaled back a notch, thankfully, but expect some gusty winds and thunderstorms and lots of rain, and the lowered chance of severe t-storms. I hope Lisa's family and home are all ok in south Alabama, and Karen and Piper in south Georgia, too - severe storms, damaging winds, and heavy rain is still passing through that area and will through the night, with chances of tornadoes. I hope everyone stays safe.
Take care, All. My hand is aching more today, so I haven't been texting or typing till now. Keeping this short. Stay safe, All.
Good night. Peace. SED.

Phyl, great 365, looks like a male showing off his stuff to win the female, funny sounds! Thanks for the articles, will read a little later. 48 now, high 59 today with some possible rain. I remember that Peacock! Good to hear that you and Jim are feeling better! Hope Miss Maggie is feeling good as well!
baz, stay safe and pamper that hand...
Lani, there is also the face cats make after a butt sniff, and I learned that it actually has a name: When a cat sniffs another cat’s butt, they will often open their mouth slightly and curl their lips back in a behavior known as the Flehmen Response. This behavior helps them direct the scent to their Jacobson’s organ for analysis. I had no idea! I hope you enjoy your In and Out burger today, sometimes there is nothing better than a good burger! Thank you for bringing the Royal Albys reports to the Beak! Hmmm, is Mr. T bringing fish to the nest?
karen, hope you and Piper are dry and safe!
E4E, now my only problem with the cats is the food. Harley, of course, enjoys getting at the kitten food instead of his prescription food! I haven't got that all sorted out yet!
Lisa, I like fresh flowers too! Not a bouquet from the florist, but a few from the garden in a simple vase. I am going to try to grow some zinnias this year, they look pretty in a vase and seem to last a while. The kittens aren't yet able to get up on the counter so I don't know if they would bother flowers! I bet your Mom is getting excited for the Miss Fisher Con!

The breathtaking sights along the mighty Colorado River. It was named Rio Colorado, which means river color red, by Spanish explorers in the 16th or 17th century. People have lived along its banks for some 8,000 years and each indigenous group had its own name for various stretches of the river.
Today it supplies water to 40 million people, irrigating the farmlands that provide us food and generates gigantic quantities of electricity.

Good Morning! Storm began picking up an hour ago! How does 10-12 inches of rain sound? That is the estimate! Yard flooded as far as I can see! Dark as pitch! Lol, almost a total eclipse ! No corona though! Wish I had one of those grassy patch boxes here for Piper. She does not want to go out! Rain to stop about noon or a little after! Expecting wind after that and dryer, cooler air! Nice weekend predicted!
The help is expected today but I would not be surprised if she stays home. Lots of road closures and she lives in a county south of here!
Lisa, hope your Mama is dry! Mobile took a hit.
Mrs. t looks ok this am! Mr. t is a no show man! Love em and leave em type!
Lol, Phyl, saw that article on pregnancy and aging!
Stay dry!
Good morning Clynn
Note, i coffected the rain amount in a kater post! Only 3 plus inches!

GOOD MORNING
Not raining here and this afternoon altho cloudy and cool should be rain free. Hoping to get some mulch down today...
LISA Miss Fisher Con is in NO How great is that for Mom and she even helped put it together. What fun for her ;D. Saw the devastation from the storms yesterday - NE of NO... :o
KAREN Hope the rains weren't too bad last night. Be safe. Just read your AM report - scary! Poor Piper.
LANI Lulu smells everything. The gag look also come if she smells me chewing spearmint gum LOL
BAZI Take care today
PHYL A memory morning for us today. ;D Prairie chickens have a beauty of their own. 365 :) Well let's hope that quake doesn't occur :o
CLYNN Lots of daisys this AM :) Sue's pic of 17 and 18 is precious :D Cool hwy along the River cliffs
-
Had a break in the rain and Piper waded out to a high pine straw bed around a few tres to go potty! Such a good girl! Think it is moving out and north and east! Temps currently 71 with a high if 81! Friday and Saturday will see highs only in the 70’s then back to highs in the 80’s.
Just think the rain we are estimated to have would be 3 plus feet of snow!
Schools are closed! We have rain closures, not snow days! Lol
-
Cold and damp tsk Rain here is just misty/drizzle. Careful about doing the mulch. Mike Caplan just said after the rain stops the wind starts. Might be blowing away the mulch? Cool again tomorrow, but 70/80 looking good in a couple days.
Morning all. Especially the early risers. Why do we do that????\
P
-
As I suspected, no help today! Highway 84 is flooded and police have closed the road! Cant plow or salt! Lol. Do not know of closures other than that one but suspect there are many others! Thankfully we have power, coffee, tv, phone and computer! What more can one want!

Good Morning Beakers

karen and all - OMG, 10-12 inches of rain! Mama said, they had like two rounds of heavy rains where the sky got totally dark. It does not flood in her neighborhood, but it does in other parts of Mobile, near downtown area.
Lani - Thanks for the pic of Mrs. T and her fish. I peeked in early this morning, and all looked good thru the night.
E4E - Mama is doing good.
Lani - Yea, I think she is happy she doesn't have to ride in a plane to the Con this year. She swears she caught the Covid from the plane ride home last year. I wish I was going with her, but I will be in Decorah. :D
((baz)) - Thinking of you.
Phyl - Glad to hear that the Delsym is working for you. Thanks for the 365, RRP and other links.
clynn - Mama is very excited about the Con, it's all she talks about...LOL! Oh, Zinnias are pretty and I bet they would look great in a vase. Aww, the DNN kiddos. Wow, breathtaking sights for sure!
tsk - Love your morning greeting. I am waiting Mama's call, but what I mentioned above was from her last call around 6pm last night. We are cloudy today, but a lil warm at 70°.
Puff, kb, tig and all - Morning :)
-
Ah, sun is out! More flooding and windy conditions by 1-2 pm! If the wind is not too strong, it will have a nice drying effect! Not the flooded parts but those surfaces that are just wet! My last. Weather report til the next chapter!
Pretty daiseys this am, Lisa!
-
KAREN So happy to have a break so Piper could do the "right thing" LOL Boy when you hit the 80's it will really be humid with all that water hanging around. " Rain days - not snow days" :o Yes you have everything you need ;D
PUFF Yes drizzle - enough to soften my hair as Mom used to say. We should be able to go get the mulch, at least, soon.
LISA Pretty "blanket" in your AM pic. A loom product?
-
Well, well, well. My early morning weather report was wrong! Maybe they were saying that it was raining at the rate of so many inches per something but, in fact the flooding and road and school closures were the result of
3 plus inches! I had to correct my reporting!
Yardpools are gone and Piper had a nicetime outside!
-
Karen I did see quite a few rain gauge reports in the 7" to 9" range south and west of Valdosta.
So you and Piper did get off "easy" in the 3" to 4" zone up by you. :)
-
Hey Beakers!
All good here - loads of rain, some thunderstorms, lots and lots of wind, and will have high winds tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night, with winds expected to gust higher tomorrow than today. Right now, officially at my airport weather reporting station, winds are sustained at 25 mph, and gusting at 45 mph! The trees and 2-story high shrubs out my back windows are going nuts in the wind. LOL.
Enjoyed reading the posts, and glad everyone checking in is safe and above the high water mark. Hope all stay that way!
Karen, just now, live on The Weather Channel, they reported that Valdosta's rainfall today has been 5.5 inches, and they said Valdosta's average rainfall for the month of April is 3.63 inches. And they said today is your wettest April day on record!! So you made the national news on The Weather Channel today! I always say if I see my town on that channel, it's usually not for a good reason. ;) Congrats to Piper for treading to the pine straw and taking care of business! ;) Glad you are all safe. and dry inside!! :-*
That's it 4 me 4 now. Hand. ::) Appt with hand ortho tomorrow.
Take care, All. :-*
-
Thanks for thr info, Land Ba baz! there was heavy rain! Windy now.
OJ Simpson died from Cancer! 76!
-
KAREN Just caught the early news and lots of video of all the damage down south from the severe weather since Tues. :o :o Hard to imagine road closures due to 3" of rain. !!! Dodged a bullet. I see now that BAZI reported 5.5" for Valdosta. Now that is another story!!
BAZI Good luck tomorrow. :-*
-

Phyl- Like the NBC 'retro' peacock! Liked 365; but had never heard of the greater prairie chicken!
Lani- Hope you were able to go out and that In & Out Burger!! You deserve it!! ;D
Baz- Hope your hand feels better soon, although it must be hard not to use it! Try not to over-do :) Interesting about the amounts of rain you posted!!
Clynn- Yes, understandable how Harley likes the 'kitten's' food more than his prescription food! Lol! Love the pic of DN17 & DN18 - too cute!!!! Amazing CO River!!!
Karen - Have you tried leaving a doggie 'potty' pad down on your floor for Piper on those rainy days when she doesn't want to go out? Yes! At least you still have Power, Computer, Phone and all the essentials!
LisaG- Glad to know your Mama is good! Does Bandit eat your annual planted flowers outside or just fresh cut bouquet flowers in your house?
BL- Amazing large amounts of rain in Valdosta - thanks for posting!

Tsk, there was more than 5.5 inches where that road is! Think the news this morning must have moved from Valdosta conditions to a regional statement of some kind! Tsk the rain was very , very heavy , fast and steady! BL, they did say on the local news that the system resembled a tropical storm! I’m not convinced that it wasn't! Thanks for the map!
Earlier, the T nest with mrs T and the little
Ts was rocking and rolling! Did I say that earlier? The Rock a bye baby earworm keeps rockin thru my head! Seds

Phyl, glad the Delsym is helping you and Jim feel better, take care.... Prairie Chicken spring ritual! ;D... sweet pic of the sleeping Sauces beauties.... interesting article on Filipino women, I don't know if I agree considering my sister's husband/family are Filipino. My sis's MIL is 95, she looks like she's in her early 80's and is very active. A little Mrs busy body, and she had 6 children. ;D
Clynn, pretty morning pics.... Mr T is not providing or helping with nest duties. I don't know if he's around right now. strange situation... awww precious pic of DN eaglets, thanks to Smb.... In the late 70's we took a river raft trip down the Colorado River. I think it was near Glenwood Springs, somewhere close where Mike had an asphalt road job and I spent a long weekend with him. I held my breath most of the time! It was fun!
Tsk, how funny Lulu doesn't like the smell of spearmint. LOL!
Lisa, pretty blanket.... I remember your mom was sick when she returned home from her trip, I hope all will be well this time.... So, you both are going to be having a fun time that week. I'll look forward to your Decorah pics.
{{{Karen}}} glad you and Piper are doing okay after the constant rain... take care.
{{{Baz and Zippo}}} take care, and be safe from the storms. I hope your appt goes well tomorrow.

All is well after my yearly check up, I'm good for another year! 8)

Lani, so happy to hear that you have been renewed for another year! I bet that made the In and Out burger taste even better! Mr. T sounds like Louis... You made me think of Ed's older brother Bob when you mentioned Mike working on a road crew. Bob has a degree in engineering and worked for Palumbo, road construction in Chicago. Ed told me that Bob got rich working for Palumbo but swore he would never go to jail for him. Several of the Palumbos have been in jail for bribery and bid-rigging. And it sounds like his sons have carried on the tradition of serving jail time... Ed always said Mafia...
Phyl, hope you are getting better each day! No fun being sick when the weather is nice! I agree, too much OJ on the news yesterday. I think most felt he was guilty and got away with it because he had $$$. Great news, I am glad to hear another egg at Sauces, I thought they had given up! The North nest looks good! Love the Prairie chickens in the 365, all of those guys trying to win the lady's favor! They are beautiful, I have never seen one in person!
BL, thanks for the Led Zeppelin!
karen, 5.5" is a LOT of rain! And it will be deeper wherever the land is low. There were certain places in Springfield where you could always count on flooding with rain in that amount. Like the Cook Street railroad overpass. It was like a well! And around where we lived, in the older part of town we had to figure out a way to get around the flooded streets to get home! Good for Piper, he's a good boy!
E4E, Harley had his breakfast this morning and is now sleeping under the bathroom sink!
baz, hope you get good news at the Dr today! Stay dry!
tsk, did you get your mulch? I have 4 bags left from last year but I will be watching Fleet Farm for the BOGO on mulch! My hostas are starting to come up! Hostas and Impatiens, that's what I am doing this year. And Dusty Millers, they do well! The Knockout Rose bushes need to be moved to a sunny location in the back yard, just not enough sun in the front because of the trees.
Benny Bruhling - Flying High, With Decorah Eagles: Decorah 04/11/24:
Goodmorning my fine feathered friends. Normally I don't photograph in the rain, but this was a special exciting occasion. As most of you know by now, a new nest in the pasture tree is under construction. This tree is located halfway between N1 and N2B on the same side of the stream as N2B. Decorah Eagles - Sue Bruhling and I came down yesterday to investigate, after reading Gina Moccia Galligan post about construction being captured by live cam, it was a must go trip and the rain wasn't going to stop us. Time now to drink my coffee, get dressed and back to the hatchery, not sure what the weather man has in store for us today, but we will be there. My song choice for this post is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg2vMrDzoXM

PHYL Hope that Z-pack has kicked in and that you are feeling better?
TIG I do that all the time. Our pastor gets hacked all the time. Hover my cursor because I know he would never email me LOLOL
LANI Never had a cat before who sniffs every inch of everything like it's her full time job. LOL Your spring tune up was a good one. You passed GO and are good for another year ;D What a sweet good night photo - Hugs back
PUFF We should hit 61 today - partly cloudy.
PHYL Beauty of a morning on the flyway.
CLYNN Bella looks so cute. Tooth fairy box? Safe trip tomorrow. Wear your eye patch! That hotel in "Chicago" where OJ stayed is about 1/2 mile from me. LOL It's still there. I always use dusty millers as part of my bird bath garden. They last way into fall.
What!!! another nest in the Hatchery area?? Confused tho. If N1 is on one side of the bridge and N2B is on the other - How can the new nest be between them yet on the same side as N2B???
Yesterday laid 20 bags of mulch in the front garden and today hope to finish washing all inside windows and screen. Got my porch all cleaned and am already enjoying my favorite spot. I hire to have all outside windows done. Have friend Kathleen's wake later this afternoon and mass tomorrow AM.

Good Morning Beakers
It has been a busy week here - between work, sports and family, it seemed that I was always busy... ::) So time to get caught up on some weather and videos.
I watched some of the Live weather with Ryan during the tornadoes this week - lots of damage and flooding in the SE... :( In the meantime, we did not get much here - .14 on Sunday and .2 yesterday - it was partly cloudy for the eclipse, high thin clouds that made the view thru the glasses as blurry at the peak (87%) here. We had a temp drop of 2 degrees. Forecast for the weekend is dry and near 80 for Sat. to Mon. and then dropping to near freezing for lows next weekend.
The Garden Center is fully stocked for the weekend - expecting it to be very busy - and I get to work it - ::) The plant tables were almost full when I left work yesterday and another truck was expected this morning with about 4000 more plants - half of them the small 6 packs.
Lani - your comment about the river rafting brought back a memory of a classmate that worked her summers during college on the Colorado river, guiding a raft down the river. It was an unexpected job for her - she was an A student in HS and played sports, but was a quiet type. She worked there in the early 70s.

LISA Yesterday's mulch project took the both of us only about 45 min so that was OK. Today the first round of windows was 1 hr 45 min. Then I rested a half hour. The second round was an hour and now am resting. I have 32 windows not including the 10 on the porch! LOLOL Insane. Tim just repaired my garden soil where the "deer incident" was. :( Lunch is on the horizon and I'm done for today.

Then college, Navy and four years with Dean Witter..... then ran it with his brother after his dad died. His mom asked him to return home.... sad story for Ed's brother...When Aly was little, she admired one of the women who ran the heavy asphalt compact rollers... Mike took both girls to check out the jobs, Shannon stayed in the car, but Aly wanted to run the machines. LOL!.. is that a new pair of eagles building a nest in Decorah territory? Maybe one of Decorah dad/mom's? I wish they would band the eagles... Have a good day getting organized before you leave tomorrow...

Well... Camper was a sweetie and acted as my chauffeur this afternoon. I received a heart event monitor which I will wear for a month. Joy. Not. I'll need to adjust and exercise only in the shallow end of the pool. And it will be good for me to use the recumbent bike more.

Aww. love those pics of Bella's grin showing she lost her 1st toofie!! :) :-* :-* Seems like my greats' 1st toofie lost is usually one of the top front teeth, so it's fun to see Bella's snaggle is on the bottom front teeth... hope it's not on purpose - a get-rich-quick scheme on her part... LOLOL! Just kidding! ;) But I'm sure she'll make out good with the Tooth Fairy's visit! :D :-* Blue skies here today! Yay! :) I'm "cornfused" by Benny B's Decorah Eagles news- a new nest under construction halfway between N1 and N2B - that's great! And no! I didn't know!! BUT, he didn't say if the building pair of Eagles there are any we know - is it Decorah Mom working on that new nest??
-
(((TSK))), thinking of you today regarding your friend, Kathleen, and her wake today. You laid 20 bags of mulch?!?!? :o Windows, screen, gardening, etc... wow! That's a lot! LOL on Lulu and her "smelling faces"- LOL! :-*
I thought it was right singular, after all the posts about people's cats' reactions to different aromas - saw this yesterday... thought it was interesting, considering the related topic and posts in The Beak recently. :D
"These Are 10 Smells That Cats Absolutely Hate" -
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/these-are-10-smells-that-cats-absolutely-hate/ss-BB1lsKl1
(scroll the screens using the arrow on the right side of the pic of the cat to see each smell with the note about it below the pic)
Howdy Beakers!
My visit with the ortho hand specialist today went well. They did more xrays. They confirmed all 3 middle fingers on my right hand are sprained, but those sprains aren't severe enough to require any special intervention, and should recover on their own in time. Meanwhile... OUCH! They also confirmed the middle joint of the middle finger is broken. They replaced the original (lame) splint on that finger with a much more substantial one that protects it all around. Almost. Well, at least way mo' better than the original splint!! Yay! They also told me that if I'm very careful, I can take it off to shower and put it back on. YAYAYAY!!! PARRR-TAAAY!!!! ;D But they manipulated my hand and fingers so much in their evaluation and treatment that I was about howling by the time I walked out. I survived it though. LOL. ;) I go back again in 2 weeks. I ran a quick couple of errands and then went scrait home to take anti-inflammatories. Ahhh.. some better now.
I hope everyone is dry, in one piece, and has power today. Stay safe! HAPPY WEEKEND!! :) :-*

Let me see if I can clear up the "New Nest" confusion.
The pair of eagles that are building the new nest by the road bridge (C) are Hatchery Mom and Hatchery Dad.
Something must have failed at the nest that they just built up on the Bluffs.
The new nest is about 1/2 way between N1 (A) and N2B (B).
N1 is to the south of Trout Creek and N2B is to the north of Trout Creek as is the new nest.

Thanks, BL!!! :-* That clears up my "cornfusion." ;) :) Talons crossed for the new nest under construction, and the nesting season, for the Hatchery Mom and Dad Eagles!! :-* :-* :-*

This is HM sitting in the tree of note from the 2022 ATF - I took this photo from the bridge...

Thanks, Oldguy!! Great pic!! :)
Lani, I missed your post earlier about Dunrovin's osprey, Swoop, accepting a new female there, and that Harriet hasn't returned there yet. I'm very sad about Harriet. :( :-* If she isn't able to return this year, then I hope Swoop and the new female there will have a good nesting year. :-*
Tig, glad you got the monitor. Hope the month goes fast! Meanwhile, you'll get a change in your regular routine a bit.
Lisa, glad no flooding at your home. Stay safe!
Good Night Beakers. My hand is done for typing fornow. Peace. SED.
P.S. The smoke alarm over my bed starting chirping 15 minutes ago - every couple of minutes!! !! NOT my weather radio this time!! WHA'??How can that be?? I'm going to dust it with my extension pole duster and see if that fixes it... the battery shouldn't be run down yet! It's less than a year old, and the battery is for backup only - the batteries in my smoke alarms only activate when I lose power, because the alarms are wired into the house's electrical system. I'm hoping maybe a "bug" found it and I can take care of it with my duster pole ... else I have to pay someone to change the battery - need an extension ladder to do it. Ugh. So weird it's happening after the false alarm the other day, too, Good law... and my Weather Radio just now blared while typing this!! whaaa?!? - a severe t-storm warning for 2 adjacent counties. Lots happening in my bedroom!! LOL! Oh lawww... I sure hope I don't have to listen to that smoke alarm beep over my head all night tonight. ::)
-
Update. LOL, I could've sworn the smoke alarm beep was coming from my left side, as I sat at my computer, meaning it was coming from my bedroom. I went to get my extension pole and screw-on duster, and stood under it. There was a beep - but not from the one in my bedroom! LOL! So I stood under the alarm at the top of the cathedral ceiling in my living room and waited. The beep beeped, but not from that smoke alarm either!! !! So I stood under the smoke alarm in my front bedroom, and BEEP!! That's the one!! Good law... That one is the "master" alarm - all 3 of my smoke alarms are connected, and maybe the latching got messed up when I thought my alarm was beeping the other day and I went around testing them, when it turned out that was the time it was the weather radio and not any of the smoke alarms beeping. But maybe I got them out of sync or something. Anyway, I pressed and held the master alarm in the front bedroom, and it hasn't beeped again since them. So I'm hoping it just needed to be reset. I don't really think that would be the case though, because if so, it would've been beeping for the last 2 days, and it hasn't. It isn't my hearing. LOL! Maybe a bug was in that one - a wayward little house spider or something, which can set them off, and he got blown out, or skedaddled, after I sounded it just now. LOL. Anyway... the good news #1 is it isn't making any sound now. And the good news #2 is that alarm is on a ten foot ceiling, and I can change its battery myself using my step ladder when it needs it. But I don't think it needs it now.
The End.
Oh puh-lease... while I was getting ready to hit "Post" on this it started beeping again. I'm going to get my step ladder out and change the battery in it right now! !! !! Sheese. At least it's the one I can reach myself!! LOLOL!
;D

LANI Hip dog - too funny ;D I would have stayed in the car like Shannon LOL Swoop's new lady friend is a real beauty and easily identifiable. I may have missed somewhere but why does Swoop do that "submissive?" behavior when Beauty was on the nest
TIG So you can't get this monitor wet? How would you describe it?
LISA What do you know about that "new nest" being built - further along the bike path down from N2B???? Is that where it is? Never mind - I see BL has a visual..
BAZI Wake started at 4 and I got there early at 4:15 - Already a 10 min line...Lots of photos to pass by while waiting. :'( Interesting about the worst cat smells..Would never have guessed some of them - I may try my coffee grounds and AM banana tomorrow to check it out. :-\ Good visit except for trying to stay in your chair with all the pain. :o :o Did they try and straighten the 3rd finger or do they rely on the splint to do that. You had mentioned, I thought, it was at a wonky angle? I just completely deleted 5 sentences of explanation based on the first note about your alarm beeping LOLOL Should have read on..
BL Now I can sleep tonight - thanks for that pictorial explanation. I would have gotten it if someone had said new nest was closer to where the horses graze or North of N1 LOLOL So HM and HD have been ID. Sure do wonder what happened there!!!

Good evening beakers! ;D.
Had a beautiful weather day here with some wind! My helper called in the agency with a need to stay home with her son! They sent a replacement and that did not work for me! She Did help me make a pot of chili and swept the porch! I suggested she could go home if she wished! She did! Lolol! Chili was good, now in the fridge in individual containers for another day! Dishes and pots washed and some , put away!
After the help left, I got i. The car and took a little drive! First attempt since I fell and ended up in shady pines ! It was a tad more difficult than I thought it would be with my eye sight! Will try it again soon!
Interesting to see what the hatchery kids will do for a home!
Tsk, wish I had been out spreading mulch but, not windows! Hate that!
Prayers for Kathleen’s soul!
Only had help 5 hours this week! My back began to ache reading about Tsks work!
Clynn, take care on your drive and hug your Mama for me! Have a good trip to Home Goods! Bella looks cute and proud of her mike stone! Hope tge kitties behave forEd.
Baz, put a baggie on your hand! Tape it on!
Good to see you OG!
Lori? How are you? Thanks fir the posts, Eagles, Lani , Lisa and Phyl!
Nite all!

NOTE: I composed the post below a little over 2 hours ago. LOL, just as I was getting ready to hit "POST," I noticed my TV went quiet... and the picture was still... You gotta be kidding me... ha ha ha!!! I lost my internet and cable TV!!! Spectrum outage in my area - it just now came back on. So I'm going to leave this last post for today, that was supposed to have been posted over 2 hrs ago. My Frustration Gauge is at FULL for the day... I need to empty it. ::)
__________________________________________________
I changed that goldarn battery in the bleeping beeping smoke alarm. Peace at my house at last! ;D ;D 8)
While I was at it, I also changed the filter for the heat and A/C air return - on the ceiling in the hallway a few feet from where I changed the smoke alarm battery. Done. And done. ;)
TSK, it sounds like there may be many people at the funeral tomorrow. Hugs.
I wonder what led the Hatchery Mom and Dad Eagles to abandon the nest at the bluffs - I don't know what state it was in... I don't think I even realized they had established a nest at the bluffs either. Maybe a storm took it down. I have lost track - didn't they have an eaglet? Or egglet? I've gotten all discombobulated about what the status was for them this nesting season! Anyway, they will be closer to the hatchery raceways now, if I understand where they are building now... and the trout stream. Thanks again, BL and OG.
G'night, All. I mean it this time.
;D
Peace. Out! 8)

Tig - Thanks for the head up, but no weird emails from you over here! ;D Besides, you will usually text, rather than email! :)
BL- Led Zeppelin! 8) Great map of the new nest location!
Lani- How exciting that you have rafted on the CO river!! I too, love In & Out Burger! Good for you in planning out what you will be doing when Mike is gone next week. I bet you get a lot done outside! Beautiful Osprey pic!
Phyl - Cute DNN pic!
Clynn - How cute Bella is with her first tooth missing1! Can't wait to hear if the Tooth Fairy visits her!! Have a fun and safe trip to your Mom's!! Awe, Harley sleeping after his breakfast! Thanks for posting Benny Bruhling! All good, even the song!
Tsk - So nice of you to attend your friend's Wake - I'm sure it is appreciated to see you there! Wow, you & Tim are busy outside! ;D
LisaG - Okay, glad that Bandit isn't interested in eating your outdoor flowery plants. :) Wow, you detoured twice today! Hope it didn't take you too much longer!
Og - With temp at 80 on Saturday, I bet you will be very busy in the garden area at work!!
Tig - Camper is so sweet in how he watches over you! :) But then, I know you do the same for him!!
Baz - Interesting how some kids lose an upper tooth or a bottom tooth as their first lost tooth!
Karen - Yum! Bet your pot of chili was delish!! Nice that you got out and took a little drive. :)
Beakers have a good night.

Top teeth or bottom teeth first...
Which tooth do kids usually lose first?
Baby teeth, also known as primary teeth, milk teeth or deciduous teeth, usually begin to fall out around the age of 6. Girls often lose their first tooth before boys, and the most common teeth to lose first for children are the bottom front two teeth (known as lower central incisors).
Can kids lose top teeth before bottom?
Losing Baby Teeth: When Do Kids Lose Teeth & What to Expect
The baby teeth usually come out in the same order that they came in. The bottom front teeth go first, followed by the top front teeth, and so on down the jawline in order. Jul 30, 2019

{{{Tsk}}} thinking of your friend Kathleen, family and friends... sending hugs.... ospreys do the submissive pose when they are mating or they first see their mates after the winter months apart.... kind of cute.
Hi Lisa, I had a good checkup, good for another year! 8)
{{{Tig}}} you and Camper take care. :-*
{{{Baz}}} Good Lord! All this beeping! Way too much activity going on in your home for someone with a broken finger and much rest is needed. I can only imagine how Zippo dealt with the noise.... Glad your ortho hand specialist went well.... my cats don't seem to mind the citris or scented candles, considering I have them going all the time. And they hang out with me. And we live in a pine forest...coffee grounds, bananas... poor things are surrounded by smells they can't stand, hm, that explains a lot.
Phyl, I checked on the Sauces nest. I guess something happened to the egg. :-\ ... Harriet has had this nest for almost 14 years or at least as long as I've been watching. Her first mate Ozzie was killed in the summer by an RTH in the summer of 2014. If she does not return, it means something happened during the winter months or on her migration south. Ospreys are very territorial like eagles.
Thanks BL for explaining the new Decorah nest. That's a shame the other didn't work. Someone thought they might have eggs. I hope they didn't... I hope all goes well for them... great map of Decorah.
Oldguy, awww mama cat and 4 kittens. I checked out other rescue videos from Cat Man Chris. I follow all of the rescue vids you've posted. So many animals in need of a home.
{{{Karen}}} sorry about your help situation... chili sounds good.... good for you trying to do a bit of driving. It's been one day and one step at a time and you're doing fantastic! Sleep well tonight, you've had a busy day.
SED Eagles, Puff, Kb :-*
{{{Clynn}}} Safe travels and have a great time with your mom and friends! Lots of prayers will be said for you on your travels. :-*
Good night!
Iris returned home tonight after a couple days away.

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Caturday !!
Currently: 43F clear with a High 77F sunny, Low 38F
Hurrah, Iris is back !
Lani- I remember about Ozzie/Harriet. It was my 1st year (2014) in
here when Ozzie was killed that summer by RTH . Yeah I know if Harriet doesn’t retun it’s cuz ‘something’s happened’. But one can hope for a fairy-tale outcome.
Re: Sauces, yeah ‘chat’ said egg broke. That’s been the problem last season and now this season. Jak and Audie may try again. I hope they do.
Baz-if you don’t let your hand rest….!
Karen- you’re doing some driving? Great.
You know, I have been thinking of making a batch of chili all week long.
Clynn- hope you arrive at your mom’s safely
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, looks cold in the 365! Saving the videos for when I get to Mom's. Love the cat in the litter box reading the paper! I feel so bad for the Sauces eagles, one year they laid 7 eggs,,, They need to move. ::) ::) Hope you and Jim and Maggie are all back to normal, as normal as normal can be!
Lani, so HAPPY to hear that IRIS IS BACK! I just checked the cam, she is on the perch watching over her nest... I am glad there is a female at Dunrovin, we never know when one will stop returning until they don't. Update on Richmond and Rosie (their nest fell in a winter storm).
SF Bay Ospreys - Richmond has spent at least part of the past two nights on the crane cable, near the nest they built last year, while Rosie continues to roost on cables at the far end of the SS Red Oak Victory. Around dawn they move to the light pole nest they are building. Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

oldguy, thanks for the tooth explanation! I always thought it was the bottom two first, Talon's were that way too. I can't remember mine! Mom and I will be going to Menards in Princeton, IN and I am sure we will have to bet some flowers! Love the Momma cat and her kittens!
baz, what an ordeal with all the chirping! CRAZY!! I remember when my sister told us she was at Mom & Dad's and told them they needed a new battery in their smoke detector, it was chirping. They said they had been looking for a cricket for 3 days! Hope your FINGER heals fast and will still works. We all need that middle finger... ;D ;D ;D
E4E, the Tooth Fairy left Bella $5, for the first tooth! We thought we were rich if we got a quarter! Love the ocean picture!
tsk, I was thinking of you yesterday and the service for your friend...
BK, thanks for the map showing where the new nest is! That area will soon be a subdivision!
karen, you are doing great! Soon you will just need a housekeeper!
Gotta go and get stuff gathered up. I still have to write specific instructions for Ed about feeding the kittens and the big cat! His neck/arm is finally starting to feel better.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING
Gorgeous day yesterday and another one today. :)
TIG Thanks. I like to keep up on these things...
KAREN WOW Took a little drive - first in a very long time. Tim wants to hire out everything but I look at it as exercise and as long as I pace myself it is fine. I listen to music or some narrative on my phone to make the time go by.
BAZI WHAT A DAY!!! Hope you had a good night's sleep. Showed Lulu the coffee grounds and banana - No reaction. LOL
EAGLES I thought that might be the Monterrey Peninsula so I googled and it was. That was a beautiful ride around it.
OLDGUY LOL That tooth topic intrigued you. Thanks for the research ;D Boy that must have been some rescue in that storage container. Glad it happened.
LANI Yes. I never knew that before about osprey. Certainly very deliberate behavior. Feel so bad for Iris. She is a senior bird citizen.. Safe trip for Mike tomorrow. Nice to know someone is with him.
PHYL Funny cat in litter... ;D All cat posts were funny ;D Cat with the catnip was so funny .
CLYNN Looks to be such a busy area for R&R. I do remember getting that quarter under my pillow too. ;) ;) Stunning Canyon de Chelly. Drive safely.
HAVE A GREAT DAY PAULIE

Good Morning Beakers...It's Caturday!!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/62/c0/9b/62c09bca5441e8c0ee635ec081e24f7b.jpg)
tig - Good luck with the monitor, and hope all is OK!
baz - Glad to hear all went well at ortho hand specialist. I hope you heal quickly.
BL - Thanks so much for clearing everything up on where new nest is located.
oldguy - Great pic of HM!
tsk - I do have the new tree where they are building the nest that I took at ATF last year. It is directly behind Willard's house on the corner, but on the other side of the creek in the front horse pasture. There are three trees in a row there, and one on the very end heading N is what RRP calls spooky tree. We would see them eating on that branch/tree sometimes last season.
Phyl - Yep, Mama will be fine at Miss Fisher Con.
karen - Sorry your helper wasn't that helpful.
E4E - No, the detour wasn't too bad, just had to drive thru some water. This pic was down by one of the detours.

Lani - Yay for a good check up!
clynn - Be safe, and have fun!!
Off to the store!
-
On another channel watching the newly discovered owlets - WOW the Geese eggs are hatching!!!! No body called me. . .
I've been waiting to see the multi colored little one that hatches out of the marble colored eggs. LOL

Enjoy your special day Paulie!

Lisa! That cat looks like it put a claw in the electric outlet! Yikes! Lol!
Is the picture of the flooded road on your side of the bridge or the Annapolis side! If your side there has been a lot of building since my last trip over! Maybe 30-40 years ago! Lol!
Clynn, I am not sure I can do all my own driving! My vision is not as good as yours! I have always enjoyed driving and still would but seeing traffic on the right is a problem! Will keep trying! The other issue is that my license expires the end of May! I know I would not pass the eye exam at the bureau and I do not know if they will issue one with a note from the doctor!
Have a safe trip and fun time in Illinois!
Wonderful day today with temps now at 65 degrees and going to 75, late this afternn! Then the next 7 days, highs in the mid to low 80’s! Then, dropping down a bit! Flood watch here until mid week but no rain so must be rivers getting water from drainage from the north!
Tig, nice heart monitor! I. Wore one if the buky old ones years ago and this looks much more comfortable! Good luck!
Wonderful Osprey pictures! Poor Iris! She has not been receptive to new males in the past so hope this year might be different! Is Louis back?
Happy caturday!

karen - This is on my side of the bridge, after you cross the Chesapeake Bay, another lil bridge called Kent Narrows, which separates the Chester River and Prospect Bay. There are some seafood restaurants and hotels right around the Kent Narrows area. That is where we go to eat most of the time. Kitty does look like he put his claw in electric socket ;D
Puff - I checked a lil bit ago, and it looked like several of the goose eggs are pipping! Hope to see the lil yellow goslings soon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Paulie!!

Happy birthday Paulie, sending you many warm wishes and aloha!

Phyl, beautiful nature vid.... cute Caturday pics and videos... spreading out the catnip is how Milo and Norman like it! ;D
Clynn, love the outdoor plant furniture! R & R light pole nest seems to be coming along. Must be windy the cam is shaking. The SS Red Oak Victory is where they spend their time. Cool! Goodness, the Tooth Fairy loves Miss Bella! I won't tell our girls how much teeth are going for these days! They got a quarter too... Glad Ed is starting to feel better..... We'll be thinking about you, sending prayers and safe travel. :-*
Lori, awesome birthday greeting and cake for Paulie! :-*
Tsk, Mike is traveling alone this time.... I should Milo the coffee grounds and banana peel, he gave me a look "Does it look like I care WTH"
Lisa, that's a lot of water you had to drive through.
Karen, Louis and his mate Star returned a week before Iris. Their nest is on the baseball field on the other side of the large college building near Iris's nest.
Puff, thanks for the goose pip alert! I check on them every night, but forgot about hatching time! Wow, I think it's 4 or 5 eggs that have pips! Including the first brownish one.

Why are these emperor penguin chicks jumping from a 50-foot cliff?
The first-of-its-kind footage, taken in January 2024 via drone, captures a rare event that may become more common as sea ice declines and penguins are forced to adapt.

#1 fan of the "HUG" therapy, Phyl. Never hurts - always helps.
They may not be big, but those penguins are certainly brave. Anything for a meal. The report said the parents had left them earlier. They got the message didn't they. Wow!

PHYL Thanks for the heads up on the "leap of faith" today or tomorrow ;) Love the snow over the bloodroot! 365 That penguin jump was amazing footage. :o

Good Morning! The baby Ts are in the bole this morning, looking around I guess waiting for Mama to return! E 23 has only received a squirrel on each of the last two days! Wonder if M is telling him to start fishing! Lol
I think it will be interesting to see what Hd and Hm do when the geese leave N1. I do not think the tree with the new nest looks like a good place for them. Seems like there are too many small sticks all over!
Interesting that RRP does not feel it is necessary to band eagles as they have learned all they can learn about eagle behavior but they keep banding falcons! They have been documenting them for as long! Next up, the Goldens?
Temps going up to the z80’s here today as well Tsk! Hope you and Puff get your suntan lotion on!
River flooding will not affect my house. One year it did cause a road closure as tge little bridge was covered with water and some houses were flooded but Piper and I will be fine!

Finally getting around to posting, as I was watching the geese this morning, and then needed to run to Walmart.
karen - I am kinda interested to know what HM & HD will do too, once the geese leave. I know they have started building that new nest, but will they return once the geese are out the nest. :D
tsk - Wow, you are warm today! We are only supposed to be in the low 70's, but it is cool feeling.
((Puff))
Phyl - Wow, those penguins. Thanks for the links. Thanks, and you are right about no sleep for a long time. ;D
Lani - Love your good night pic of MG & FG. I have noticed this FG is very different then the others we have had on N2B in the past years. The poor MG over at N2B, she hardly sees her mate.

What a joy it is to see all six hatched. I watched #6 this morning before Mike left for the airport.
He's packed and on his way to Sky Harbor in Phoenix for his trip to Ohio then Louisiana on Weds. :)
Looks like the family may jump sometime today. Mom is giving #6 more time to rest up for big jump and waddle over to the stream.
I can hear children's voices in the background father goose may be waiting till the wind settles down too.... I pray all goes well.
Looks like there's a couple of feisty babies in the family. LOL!

Clynn - I used to get a quarter from the Tooth Fairy too! Hope you are having a great time with your Mom and friends!
Tig - Hope you are getting used to your monitor and that it is working well for you. {{Tig}}
OG- Interesting about baby teeth - thanks for the info! Liked Catman Chris and the rescued Mama Cat & her kittens :-*
Baz - Hope your finger is healing nicely and that you are trying not to over do! Cute Caturday stuff yesterday!
LisaG - Nice pic of the detour you took the other day! Thanks for posting the RRP pic from fb of the nest in Decorah :) Nice goose pic!
Phyl- Jim does his weeding the hard way, but it probably gets the best results as he is getting the root too - "good job Jim"! :) Thank you for the great links. :)
Lani- Safe travels for Mike - sounds like a very busy week for him. I too, hope there are no rocks beneath the tree when the goslings take their big leap. Be safe little ones. :-*
Karen- Nice warm up for you! We had rain yesterday, but today is mostly dry and a high of 60.
Hi Puff, Lori, BL, Kb :)
Where is Kb?
Paulie- If you see this, hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday! :)
Thank you All for letting me do a little catching up here. Yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day. I had begun the day with taking my mom to a haircut appointment, then in the afternoon, I got busy with cleaning out a closet and then made dinner, cleaned up and started watching something on tv and that was it - went to bed!
Beakers have a nice Sunday afternoon :)
-
83 now and that is the high for the day!
Doing piddly stuff! Load of laundry. Cleaned the storm door as some grapgite was on it making a long black mark!
Did some work on 2024 taxes! Lol! Always hunting through things for insurance costs, otc drug costs, etc so have a tyoed note in the tax envelope! All that is left tondo is total that and wait for the 1099s, etc! Shall file early this time! Hate paper work!
Hope tge day at the Masters is as pretty as it is here!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :)

I haven't had a chance to look yet - wondering if The Jump happened yet today. I hope all goes well, whenever The Big Leap happens! :-* :-*
I walked a brief 20 minutes today - kept it short at the request of my right knee and foot and my left hip and ankle. ::)
My hand is about the same. The 3 middle fingers are sprained, but the sprained ring finger is progressing some - yay - I can support some weight with it now and use it for light duty assistance, though it's still fairly swollen around the bottom section. My sprained index finger isn't happy, but it does seem a bit better. I still can't support weight with it - no muscle strength with that finger yet, but I can curl it a little further since its swelling has improved a bit. The middle sprained finger, that also has the fractured middle joint, isn't ready to do anything yet. It gets in trouble a lot because the splint makes it stick out where fingers shouldn't be sticking out, lol. I can't count how many times I have turned on my car's windshield wipers with it when I turn my steering wheel in the direction of the wiper handle. ;D ;D ;D
I have been missing getting enough sleep. Last night, I had "crash-and-burn dreamtime" as a result. ;D That always makes for some wild and crazy dreams. Wish I could remember all of them - very entertaining! I remember in one dream, Seth Meyers (host of "Late Night With Seth Meyers") was my boss! He wasn't a TV host in my dream, he just looked like Seth Meyers. He wasn't nice to me in my dream!! LOLOL!!
Time to fix a bit to eat... but first some Tums - I just got a case of heartburn! ::) :P Sheese.
Later, Gators! :) I'm going to turn on the Tv and see if there's anything left to watch at The Masters, or see who won if it's over. :)
-
Jim will finish his weeding after work on days when it's cooler. Everyone, but me is snoozing. I use to nap on Sunday afternoons---too much to do. Sipping on a vodka and orange juice on the 'rocks'. Roast beef sands with horseradish mayo, lettuce and tomatoes, either French Onion or Tomato Bisque soup. Garden salad and a brew each. I don't make dessert anymore soooo .
Eagles- where's KB?... where's Tig? E4E, You and your mom :-* ;) :)
Puff- IMHO 'hugs's don't cost a cent and deliver $100's in return.
Tsk- I just cant' watch this season's 'leap'. Last season's fatality broke my heart ...how that late hatcher scurried all around the nest to catch up with the
older ones. Caught it's tiny webbed foot on a twig and well... I know, I know that's Nature and all. But, suppose I'm just too tender hearted. Been that way
my entire life. 81F w/ winds feels like 77F.
Lisa-pretty basket of fleurs today.
Oh Lani!- look at those darling goslings. :-* Like you pray the 'leap' goes well...very well. ; Hope all goes well 4 Mike
Karen- now that's a word I haven't heard in a bit...'piddly'. Aren't you cutting 2023 taxes close?
Baz- take care of your hand ;)

LANI Great clip. Every time I tuned in today - Mama was sitting on them LOL A "two fer" for Mike Safe trip.
PUFF I think we maxed at 81 in my yard. Great Masters.
EAGLES Never lived in CA - Traveled there twice tho. Amazingly we all have lives LOLOL You were busy.
I agree with Eagles - haven't seen KB today..
BAZI Your splinted finger has a mind of its own ;D
KAREN Early? Deadline is tomorrow...
-
Phyl, my taxes, for 2023, due April, 15, 2024 are complete! Delivered to my accountant, he filed them electronically and I am now waiting for the check to hit the bank! I was putting things together for the tax year, 2024 , due April 15. 2025! Lolol! Not close!
Tell Jim to take it easy on the yard work!
I am assuming Clynn did well on her trip and is enjoying catching up with her mother and all! No news is goid news!
YesLisa your flower basket is very pretty and vibrant! Your pictures in the .decorah thread are great! Love BLs discussion on the new nest tree location!
Well, Scottie won tge Masters! Congratulations!
-
Tsk, we posted about the same time!

Stuck to my two hour curfew tsk. Came back in to a cool water and fell asleep at the table for almost 2 hours. Crink in the neck now, too. I'll be out tomorrow with doctor appt - he'll think I'm - don't know what he'll think. LOL
Wasn't much good to watch for me - Bulls and Sox both lost; Hawks haven't lost yet. Masters always gets me teared up. A lot of time and hope goes into that game. I can't really imagine when - after years of practice- that you get to stroll through the canyon of people clapping/saluting for you. That's got to be a rush!!!!
Hope the majority of us had the same nice weather today. I think we did. I even look forward to only low 70's tomorrow.
Good evening all - Enjoy!

Phyl- Thank you for providing the link for the geese family! I watched a lot of it today and figure the big event will take place tomorrow. I want to watch, but then, I'm like several of you here. where I have to say that I don't want to watch. I've been so heart-broken in the past when everything didn't end happily like I wanted it to.
Lani- I had my laptop on the kitchen table where i could watch almost constantly and it looks like the big day will be tomorrow! Part of me wants to be watching, but part of me says not to. :-\ Has Mike checked in with you - hope he arrived in Ohio and is safe & sound. :)
Karen- You are sure keeping busy with things! You & Piper have a good night.
Baz- It will take time for your hand to heal - just take the time to let it happen. I know you keep busy, but you have to let yourself heal. {{{Baz}}} Take care!! :-* :)
Phyl- Good that Jim will continue the weeding when its cooler! Enjoy your yummy sammys for dinner! :)
Tsk- Okay, I knew you had mentioned CA in the past on different occasions! Well, IF you should ever come to CA, please come by here. You & Tim and Lulu would all be welcome to stay for a nice visit!! I know Lulu would not want to leave your home to travel, but just mentioning that she would be welcome!! :) :)
Puff- Glad you enjoyed the Masters and had a nice weather day! :)
Clynn- I'm sure you are enjoying your trip! ;D
LisaG, Kb, Tig, Og, Bl, Lori :)
Beakers have a nice evening - SEDs! ;D

Phyl, thanks for nature video... amazing video of penguins.... been streaming the goose family all day... glad you're feeling better, but don't overdo. :)
Lisa, Gorgeous floral basket.... Decorah Father and Mother Goose are a devoted pair, very calm and serene together, great parents. It's been a joy to watch them and enjoy seeing the goslings longer than we usually get. :-*
Tsk, the Masters had a great weekend for golf. Stunning golf course as always... great golf! I had the Decorah goose family streaming on living room tv and golf in another room.
Eagles, I hope your mom is doing well. :) your day yesterday was like mine today. Cleaned winter coats, put away winter clothes/boots, spent time cleaning closets too... Mike arrived safely in Cleveland. He called me after he settled into the hotel and was heading to bed. It was 10:30 by the time he checked in.
{{{Kb, Tig}}} I hope you both are well. :-*
Baz, Even though it was a 20 minute walk, it must have felt good to get out. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight! I've had a few weird dreams on sleepless nights. Take care.
Karen, I always think no news is good news for Clynn too, especially since she has a hard time with wifi at her moms.... you'll be ahead of the game for next year's taxes... Louis won't leave Iris alone and takes her fish again. There is another male wanted her attention, but Louis stops that. :(
{{{Puff}}} We had the same nice weather.... I hope all goes well with your doctor appt tomorrow, and he thinks nothing but good things. :-*
Good night!
Baby periscope keeping close watch on the back! :-*

GOOD MORNING
KAREN LOLOL I see now what you mean by "early taxes" for 2025. Good plan. ;D
PUFF Since all the hullabaloo in golf over the "merging" of the two leages now Liv and PGA I've lost interest in the game - I just check in on the "Majors". Viewership is down 30% Just read Tiger posted his worst game ever!!
LANI Dang that Louis! :P LOLOL Cute " baby periscope" in the goose nest.
PHYL Interesting about the two different types of birds - one ready to go and one that needs nourishing. :)
-
some bounce
The pool went ok today. Less fun, more strenuous. I had the heart cell phone in my bag that I positioned near the shallow end. And that is where I did my exercises.
The check engine light is on in our car so will take it in tomorrow morning.
Hugs all
TTFN

Phyl- Have a good teeth cleaning appt today and have a great day :)
Tig- Glad it went okay for you at the pool. Hope all goes well with finding the cause of the check engine light. Maybe it is something minor.
Hi Tsk, LisaG, Puff :)

I have been busy goose watching again! The nest was still warm, and another goose came in and laid an egg around 10:28am! More geese ::)
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53656182498_e5e44590e2_b.jpg)
E4E - Glad to hear that your Mom is doing ok, too.
Lani - Thanks for the Royal update. TFT getting big and beautiful. Hope Mike has safe travels! Love the baby periscope pic!
tig - Hope all is ok with the car.
tsk - Pretty morning greeting.
Phyl - Thanks for all the links this morning.
karen - I do the same as you for taxes. I have a lil folder in my file cabinet, and if it is for the nest year, in it goes.
kb - Where are you?? I hope all is OK!
-
Good afternoon!
Lisa, did they find Number six? I hate these cams! Chat not on the side and at times I am not seeing well enough to know what I am looking at! Thanks She must have been ready to explode waiting for the rental to become available! At first I thought she Was one of the first family cleaning up and ht the eagles could build some Crib rails and move in! Lol! Well, n2b should become available soon! Anyway, I feel sorry for little 6!

GOOD MORNING
...
Since all the hullabaloo in golf over the "merging" of the two leages now Liv and PGA I've lost interest in the game - I just check in on the "Majors". Viewership is down 30% Just read Tiger posted his worst game ever!!
...
TSK, AMEN!!! I'm very PO'd about the LIV/PGA "merging." >:( >:( >:( I saw a quick blurb before the start of The Masters that Greg Norman was going to be there... I didn't even bother to see any further into that report. I'm just about done with it, but, like you, I have been checking into the Majors - but not watching much of them - typically just tuning in during the last part of the last 2 rounds. I saw Scheffler's last 5 holes yesterday, and the Green Jacket ceremony.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :)
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d5/bd/2c/d5bd2cf09c467edffb8c3885c2186896.jpg)
Any Beakers who are thinking I am over-using my hand, or not giving it sufficient rest for healing, please know that I am following all of my ortho's orders, and I'm NOT over-using it in any way. Thank you to those expressing any concerns that I am not resting it enough, but it doesn't apply in this case. ;) :) I have only been sharing my "status report" - which does not indicate overuse, in fact, I have been reporting on how there has been some improvement each day. I already know healing takes time, and I am not rushing it. Thanks, again, for all your good wishes. :) :-* :-*
-
I've been making the live cam rounds a bit this afternoon.
The North nest is enjoying a very pretty day! I saw a parent on the North nest with the 2 eaglets, who were side-by-side looking out over the pasture... surveying their future fledgling flight area. ;) :-*
I also saw a parent on the Trempealeau nest with the 2 eaglets alternately napping and raising their heads to look around or re-position themselves. The parent didn't have a dark fleck in its lower left eye's iris, so I'm thinking it might have been Mr. T. :-*
I didn't see anybirdy at the empty GSB peregrine cliff nestbox cam.
I could hear a lot of geese honking and such around the Hatchery nest cam, but nobirdy on the N1 nest when I looked. ;) :-*
There was a parent goose brooding on the Decorah Goose N2B nest cam when I looked just now. Notes there say hatch should begin on or around April 20th. :) :-*
Have a great day, Beakers! Keep looking up!! :) :-*

I want to know about. Little goose number 6!
Sincerely hope that was Mr. t at the nest but he is an absentee dad most of the time!
Then there is Louis! Remarkable how human behavior is sometimes mimicked in avian and other wildlife groups! Iris Kick him out!
Now, would you believe 90 degrees on the weekend? Temos going down to the 70’s the next week! Ooh!
-
Karen, I want to know about little gosling #6, too. :-* I hope we get an update from RRP later today or overnight.
This is a picture of a real gator... LOL... in my retention pond, taken 2 days ago. The pic was a cell phone pic, that I enlarged many times, and then cropped - so it isn't very sharp. On the left, in the red circle, is the current resident pond gator, Swampy, who has lived at my retention pond for a few years now. You can't see all of his tail in this picture. On the right, in the red circle, is Balou, the Little Blue Heron, who is a regular at my retention pond for a couple of years now, and he is the largest Little Blue Heron I've ever seen. :-*

Karen, Baz,
Posted by mod GABear on the Decorah Chat roll April 15, 2024
From Raptor Resource Project:
"What are we looking forward to this week? It's been a busy morning and it's going to be a busy week!
The goslings at N1 jumped this morning between 8:02 and 8:04 AM CDT. Five of the six made it, but one did not. MG and PG have herded their five surviving offspring downstream to deeper, more sheltered water. Perhaps we'll see them from the N2B cam, where goslings should start hatch on or around April 20. It took just a few hours for another goose to come in and lay an egg at N1, so don't be surprised if you see more geese, eggs, and goslings in this nest. The goslings at N2B should hatch on or around April 20."
Read the full Facebook post here: https://www.facebook.com/Ra...

LISA Are you kidding? The nest didn't even cool off yet and another goose laid another egg? Crazy.
BAZI That's my speed with pro golf now as well. Very sad what has happened. LOL Glad someone cares enough to put eclipse glasses on that gator! :o ::) You live in such a wonderful place surrounded by all that nature - in your backyard and on your walks.
LANI Thanks for the update on N1 and N2B and back to N1 LOLOL
-
karen - You could have called me. RRP announced that they did find the last one. I felt sorry for it too, and it always seems the last one to jump is the one that either gets hurt or dies. I broke down and turned on the AC. The cats looked like they were dying! It's only 79° outside. I had all the windows open, and it felt good in here.
baz - Glad to hear that your hand/fingers are healing! Oh my, does Swampy bother Balou?
Lani - Thanks for the post from GABear! She is a very good Explore mod!
tsk - I kid you not. I turned my head to watch TV, and heard a goose honking. I look up and one is in nest. I was like, hmmm, is MG coming back to check for #6, nope...this gal is laying an egg! I also saw a bit ago on cam, another goose below nest laid one on that cement thing under nest. Goose eggs dropping everywhere!
-
Thanks Lisa! So sorry! Amy should start climbing and taking the youngest one doen in a basket!

Moss Landing, Ca - Kris worked there at the Moss Landing Marine Lab (San Jose State University) for 10 years until he retired in 2022. We love this nice little town, it is special, as my Dad worked in Moss Landing for the Kaiser Brick Plant (now closed) 38 years until he retired in the 1980's. My family has history in Moss Landing; I had 2 uncles who worked there too. We went fishing and had picnics in this sweet little town. Okay. enough history - sorry.
Karen- I too was hoping little #6 would show up. It makes me sad when one of the goslings is missing after the Leap.
Lani- I was surprised to see how soon another goose showed up at the same nest where the little goslings had just jumped. I was so hoping little #6 would be found. This is why I didn't want to watch, but of course I had to.
Phyl - Hope your dental appt went well this morning. :)
LisaG- Thank you!
Beakers have a good night.
-
Tsk- today's post by Amy was definitely one of the most interesting and informative she's put together.
Tig- continue to hope all goes well w/your heart monitor
Lani- many thanks for the Royal update and photos; will chek out videos later ---they're always great . Glad Mike is in OH safely
Eagles- dental appt went well. The teeth are all shiny clean extra white. ;) Doc said he didn't see anything needing 'attention' . Glad
he was there to day. I took the opportunity to say "Good-Bye' and that I'd miss him. 15years is a long time .
We usually laugh as he's a 'Phillip' and I'm a Phyllis.
Lani, Lisa and all --many thanks for the 'Leap of Faith' report. So glad I didn't watch. Although ,I've seen enough that it all plays out in my mind anyway. :(
Prayer for '#6' :'( :'( :'( :-*

Phyl, pretty bird on nature video... thanks for rrp, and two articles. I've bookmarked them... glad all is well with your doc visit, and you were able to say goodbye... pretty good night pic.
Tig, glad all went well at the pool... I hope the engine light is an easy fix.
Eagles, I hope your eye doc appt went well... I googled Moss Landing, it looks like a lovely community.... I bet Kris had a very interesting job with the Marine Lab.
Lisa, I'm going to miss the serene personalities of Mother and Father goose.... poor #6 :'( ... I wish the new family a peaceful life.... I can't believe another goose has laid claim to the nest so quickly.... geez, no more quiet peaceful eagle country... honk, honk, honk all day and night!
Baz, thanks for the live cam updates.. I didn't realize N2B was so close to hatching... love the gator with the eclipse sunglasses... You live in a wonderful area.... cute pic of Swampy getting a bit of sun and Balou...
Karen, I'll post pics tomorrow of Iris and her nest redecorating. Louis came and got his way with her, then he went back to his mate at the other nest...and a new male would like Iris to take an interest in him.... She allowed one visit with him, then wing slapped him away. He needs to bring her a fish tomorrow...
Good night from Decorah North!

Good Morning! Happy Tuesday Everyone.
Currently: 66F light rain with a High 84F sunny w/light rain and Low 66F
Ran some errands after dental appt. After dinner I took care of some small 'things'. Then I tackled the bathroom carpet. Took me a couple
of hours. Got carpet clippings all over my self. But, it's done. It was warm-ish out while at Lowes/ Home Depot. So , I felt a tad 'sticky' And, showered ...”turned in ‘ for the night.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; especially 'Little One' wherever she might be; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Good. Mornings! 60 nowgoing to 84!
Do you know the way to San Jose, la ti da? Been there eagles but not to the cute little town of your family’s history! I am of a generation that wanted to go west, that is,to California! A few did!
I Believe E 23 may have left home! He did not come home for dinner and was not there last night! Prayers this little one survives his first year of feeding himself, finding new friends and surviving storms!
Good report on nest activities by Amy on Facebook!
Lani, Iris needs help! She keeps encouraging Louis! Oh, dear!
Going to the orthopedic MD to get started on scheduling an appointment for a shot in my back! Cannot happen too soon!
Have a good day!

some bounce
Engine light went off and car computer too old to "go back" in the log and discover what it was. Hmm. Camper got up and took the car in and then got breakfast. He was out and back before the heavy rain and discovered light traffic and birds singing. I told him "welcome to morning". LOL
Happy Bird Day Chris!!!

Karen, I hope all goes well at your ortho and you can get another shot soon. (((Hugs)) :-* :-* for E23 - may he fly high, eat well, stay safe, and live long and prosper!! He got a great start from his wonderful parents. :-* :-* I wish Iris could break the spell of Louis. She may need a 12-talon-step program to break that addiction. Reminds me of a book I read in the Wayback Machine, called, Smart Women, Foolish Choices. 8) Talons crossed for Iris to find a good new nesting partner and raise some healthy ospreylets of her own again. :-* :-* :-*
Oh, Karen, I just saw your follow-up post about E23 at SWFL... glad he was seen on cam flying and 'sploring the area across the road. Not far from his nest tree home! :-* :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!! :)
(https://media1.tenor.com/m/CzsIoeu_GKcAAAAC/have-a-great-day-good-day.gif)
Yesterday, I walked 21 minutes - only 1 minute longer than my walk the day before, LOL, but at a faster pace, so covered a bit more territory.
Today I walked 25 minutes, but without the quick pace, due to the complaints from my right knee and left hip... but got 'r done. ;)
Tig, ugh on the check engine light, but yay on it turning off - hopefully it's not a problem anymore. Talons crossed!! I was wo0ndering what might make that happen, and found these next 2 ideas about it when I googled it, and I copy/pasted them below:
Why would check engine light come on and then go off?
It could indicate an issue with your vehicle that comes and goes. This is known as an intermittent fault, and it's a sign that the problem is borderline. Something is close enough to wrong that it occasionally triggers the light, but the problem occasionally recedes to the point that the ECM doesn't register an error.
Check Engine Light on and Off: Causes & Fixes - wikiHow
wikihow.com
https://www.wikihow.com › Check-Engine-Light-on-and...
and also found this idea:
Search for: Why would check engine light come on and then go off?
Why does my check engine light come on then disappear?
Self-Healing Condition: In certain cases, a problem that triggered the check engine light may resolve itself without any intervention. For example, if there was a temporary fuel system issue or a loose gas cap, the system may correct itself, leading to the check engine light disappearing [3].

Hellgate Osprey cam - Iris is mantling, hopeful male osprey on the left of cam pic and here comes Louis flying in to dominate the nest!
Louis has been to the nest several times this morning to keep the hopeful males away. This situation saddens me, as a long time viewer as this nest, it's like watching her being alone again, no permanent mate or possible chicks to brood. :-\

SWFL Eagles ~ E23's CARRIES ITS 2nd PREY ITEM TO THE NEST 🎉 Mom Brings Moss & Dad An ACF! 🐟 4.14.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osQgSR56EMk
Apr 15, 2024 #southwestfloridaeaglecam #eagles #baldeagles
E23 has now brought in its 2nd prey item to the nest - this time carrying in its talons some RK mammal (appears to be squirrel). The first prey item that E23 brought in was on March 28th was some RK rabbit that E23 got from Dad on the ground.
E23 did not eat the prey at this time but flies off towards the pond. F23 comes in shortly after E23 left and is seen carrying a big clump of moss in her talons. E23 sees her and lands on the nest and squees and mantles the moss lol F23 stays on the nest because she sees the prey that E23 brought in off to the side - but E23 is not about to let its food be taken and continues to mantle and squee. Finally F23 goes to the attic and inner limb and E23 eats its prey! We do not know where E23 got the RK mammal but most likely got it from Dad and flew with it to the nest.
M15 will fly in with an almost whole ACF - armored catfish and E23 is there to claim it. E tries to open it but can't because the skin on the ACF is very tough so E just leaves it on the nest and goes to the veranda and attic, E23 will fly off and head across the street for its next adventure! Thank you for watching!

thanks, Baz, and again Lani.

KAREN Tim will be getting an injection on the 24th for his left L4-5 sciatica. He can't wait. Takes a while to get things going as you well know
BAZI Good investigator for TIG's engine light issue.
KB Good to see you. Is all OK? or are you just exhausted with outdoor maintenance?
LANI Too bad Iris isn't more dominant - if that is a thing with female ospreys. Males submissive postures? Don't seem to see that here. Thanks for the update on E23's hunting progress. Sure is getting the idea, road kill or not LOL
I see where you Iowans have some serious weather going on now!!! I think CLYNN will soon be a part of that system. We will get some of that beginning early evening they say

Phyl - Love the BC comic!
Good night, everyone!

Is everyone OK in South Eastern Iowa ?
Some nasty weather there for sure.
Stay very weather alert to the East of the Mississippi Riv for rest of the evening too.

Hello Beakers
It has been a wet and windy afternoon in Iowa... We had a high of 76 before the rain came in - now down to 62. We had a siren event around 3:30 , but that was about 10 miles to my NW and then the weather station showed a tornado about the same distance to the SE. We got 1.15 in of rain so far, and not expecting any more rain tonight. The current strong storms are now entering Illinois to the south of Davenport and then runs north to Dubuque. This line of storms is likely to move up to Rockford and eventually up to Milwaukee tonight. So Clynn will get missed and most likely most of Chicago from the strong storms.

Happy Birthday Chris

BL That storm took a turn to the north and I think skimmed most of our area and took in Milwaukee and Green Bay. We just got a very light rain about 2 minutes and now the sun is out.
OLDGUY You are right - The system took a more northerly course. CLYNN spared. You got a good rain tho. Cats will be cats no matter the size LOL What a great story about the girl and the cats that came with the house LOL

Jim has his 1st appt w/pulmonologist tomorrow PM. Samsung decided that my iPhone's OS was obsolete and this AM when I booted my phone up...it went straight to 'download to target'. This has been in progress since 9am. I don't think this will every stop. The print on the screen is so small I just cant' read it even w/ glasses...seems, I think, the key s are 'locked'. :-\ I want to go to the ATT store and see what the fellas there can do. I:m without a phone period. Jim has too much going on ...my neck has been 'seizing up' and difficult to drive much on my own. ::) Hopefully there's time tomorrow to see ATT.

Phyl, Hi there :) you can power down your phone and power back up, this should fix it. You are in a diagnostic download screen for technicians. If it won't power off, press and hold Volume Down and the Power or Side button for about 7 seconds until it restarts. I hope that fixes it :) Good luck to Jim tomorrow and I hope all is well with little Maggie and you! Feel better soon! Lori

I:m without a phone period. Jim has too much going on ...my neck has been 'seizing up' and difficult to drive much on my own. ::) Hopefully there's time tomorrow to see ATT.
Phyl, Hi there :) you can power down your phone and power back up, this should fix it. You are in a diagnostic download screen for technicians. If it won't power off, press and hold Volume Down and the Power or Side button for about 7 seconds until it restarts. I hope that fixes it :) Good luck to Jim tomorrow and I hope all is well with little Maggie and you! Feel better soon! Lori
Dear ((Lori)),
thanks for hearing my plea. :-*
So that's what the fine print was saying!
I got it restarted and then shut it down to charge at night.
Everything booted just fine this AM
;)

FOBBV Eagles 🦅Jackie & Shadow appear to bid their eggs farewell 😥 Together and in song💕🎶2024 Apr 11

Shadow and then Jackie visited the nest just after sunset. It seemed they may be bidding farewell to their eggs after a very long post-viability period. They ended the evening roosting together and in song. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming process that we are grateful to have been able to observe.

1.6 inches in rain gauge.
Ugg, I dropped my laptop sideways on my big toe last night...my thermos of water in other hand slipped and dropped. In attempting to catch thermos, laptop fell out of other hand.
Can't really walk with that foot without pain...am mulling over whether or not I can take Ollie to his vet for his toe nail clip and purchasing his flea and tic meds later this morning.
Ice and heat and maybe a call to ask they help me get him out of the car and into a room quickly.
After all, they did that with Covid restrictions, sans human going inside.
Or else I'll just re-schedule, LOL...amazing how 3 pounds landing perfectly on a toe can hurt/swell.

We did have some rain and distant thunder last night. Gauge reports 0.6"
So at 2:46 AM I'm awakened to a symphony of bird songs!!! Not even the hint of daylight yet.
PHYL Good that Jim finally has a pulmonologist appt. You didn't need phone issues to add to that :( Loved that Mexican/ art piece this AM. I like colorful things LOL How sweet - that little fawn struggling with first steps. 365 :) "Hysterical strength" Great term. :o Pretty dreary on the Flyway today. Jackie/Shadow :'(
KAREN Wonder how CLYNN fared?
LORI Sure hope your advice helps PHYL WOW Reading on, you were able to help PHYL :-* :-* :-*
LANI Ohio to Baltimore to New Orleans YIKES HUGS to Mike. Tim did a ton of traveling early in our dating and marriage. When he quit Zenith to get into the printing brokerage business all that stopped. He was relieved. Sure hope that eye on retirement keeps Mkle going. :-*
KB LOLOLOLOLOL That was hysterical a true laugh out loud for me. You got a nice rainfall :) Funny you should mention the injury to your toe. OUCH SIL Barb in Fl dropped a table on the top of her foot while cleaning the other day. Boy the pic looked awful. I said to ice ( which she had started) and wrap figure 8 in Ace bandage. Amazingly she had no pain :o :o :o. Went to get xrays anyway and she was OK...

Ouch! Hugs all
Off to the pool...

Good Morning Tsk and all! I do not know what the weather was like in Albion yesterday but looks great today! Clynn is about as far from Springfield as you are so perhaps not in as much wind! Showers tomorrow . Looks like a cloudy day there Saturday for her return trip! I thought we might hear from her since Erin fixed her mothers computer speed. Hope all is well there and in DesMoines with Ed, Kelsey and the kitties!
Phyll, good luck to Jim today! Did he get an appointment with the cardiologist?
Good job Lori!
Thanks for all the nest reports! Hope all do well! Mrs. t seems better!
High of 84 today. Flood alert until 2 pm! Later
Aha! While I was getting ready for the housekeeper, there was Clynn! Have a great lunch!

📺 SLOTH TV
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ is stable and gaining weight; soon to be entering Sloth Elementary!
Beanie, two-fingered sloth: Beanie’s hind limb mobility remains limited, so we continue to provide her with regular physical therapy, including acupuncture treatments. She is otherwise stable.
Fiesta, two-fingered sloth: Fiesta’s umbilical cord wound has almost completely healed, so we have removed her bandage, (which she has been very pleased about). She continues regular nebulization treatments to address her ongoing lung issues but has been doing well.
Bruno, two-fingered sloth: Bruno is eating better and gaining weight, but still has a reserved prognosis.
Tulip, two-fingered sloth: Tulip is officially spending nights outside the incubator with the other babies! She has had some loose stool but otherwise appears stable.
Nevada, two-fingered sloth: Little Nevada is steadily gaining weight, but is still spending nights in the incubator. She has developed wounds on both hind limbs, which we are cleaning with antibiotics daily.
Rose, two-fingered sloth: Rose has been having some mild digestive issues, so we are providing her with transfaunation. Otherwise stable.
NEW ARRIVAL
Pixie, two-fingered sloth: Premature Pixie was found alone in the Limón Province of Costa Rica. Appropriately named, she currently weighs 244 grams, making her the most miniature baby sloth we have ever had in our care. She is receiving nebulization treatments to address some breathing issues and to help open up her nostrils. Though she is eating well, due to how underdeveloped she is, she has a reserved prognosis at this time.
🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:
GRADUATE:
Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Welcome our newest graduate to Sloth Elementary! Mimi’s disability doesn’t slow her down one bit. She is eating lots of leaves and is incredibly active.
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Moose spends most of his time on the play structure, practicing his climbing skills and napping in the hammock with his buddy Grover. He has a great appetite and is the strongest of the group.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: We are pleased to report that Grover has completely recovered from anemia. He is incredibly active and has a healthy appetite.
Continues recovery:
Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Phoenix is gradually becoming weaned off smoothie. He has a healthy appetite and has been eating many leaves in his outdoor enclosure.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Binx is doing much better adapting to an outdoor enclosure and starting to eat more leaves. Stable and growing well.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Elmo is doing better in an outdoor enclosure but still has an attachment to its caregivers. We are working on it!
NEW ARRIVAL:
Natalia, Three-fingered sloth: Natalia was found alone in La Virgen, Costa Rica after her mother abandoned her. Despite this, she arrived alert and responsive without any apparent injuries. She is currently at a healthy weight and remains active, spending much of her day in the trees of the Sloth TV Playground. She is almost ready to head to the Release Site to continue her rehabilitation process.
Marina, three-fingered sloth: Marina was found in the Limón Province of Costa Rica, dehydrated and alone on the ground. We have been providing her with fluids and monitoring her carefully. She spends most of her days in the trees on the Sloth TV Playground. She is almost ready to head to the Release Site to continue her rehabilitation process.
🎓Sloth University Update:
Coco, two-fingered sloth: We are relieved to report that Coco is once again stable. She has spent the past few weeks in the clinic gaining back all the weight she lost and is nearly ready to give it another go!
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax is ready for release! He will return to his wild home sometime this week, and we are so excited to see how he thrives!
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Antonio is set to be released sometime this week! He is doing great in the largest of our pre-release enclosures and has surpassed Pax in weight!
Myrtle, two-fingered sloth: Myrtle has reached a stagnant point in her release process. She is showing signs of anemia, and we are closely monitoring her condition at this time. We are hopeful that she will make a full recovery with a little extra TLC.
Spike, two-fingered sloth: Spike is stable and eating well once more. He is growing stronger every day.
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken remains active and has been eating well. He is progressing steadily.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is stable and progressing well through rehabilitation.
Marina :-*

Jim has his 1st appt w/pulmonologist tomorrow PM. Samsung decided that my iPhone's OS was obsolete and this AM when I booted my phone up...it went straight to 'download to target'. This has been in progress since 9am. I don't think this will every stop. The print on the screen is so small I just cant' read it even w/ glasses...seems, I think, the key s are 'locked'. :-\ I want to go to the ATT store and see what the fellas there can do.

Karen- Hope you had a good appt yesterday with your Orthopedic doctor!
Tig - Glad your engine light is out now. Nice of Camper to have taken care of it and got breakfast! Enjoy the pool today :)
Kb- Great to see you! Hope Chris had a nice birthday and glad you shared his birthday wishes from the Beakers with him. ;D Great idea that you had Chris' birthday treat delivered - especially with the weather situation! Ouch!! Just read about your toe :o You are right to ice it right away! Hope it starts feeling better soon.
Baz- Liked your birthday post for Chris!
Lani- I too wish Iris could find a much better partner. ::) I bet it is hard for Mike to get any real rest when he is on those business trips. Hope he will be home in just a couple of days or so (?). Thank you for Sloth report/status! I will need to come back to it, as we are expecting company here in just a little while!
Tsk- I watched the weather reports on the 'Today' show this morning and it was shocking to see the damage from Tornadoes. A lot of places having scary weather. :o Glad that Tim is on the calendar for getting that much needed shot for his Sciatica. It is terrible to be in such discomfort.
LisaG- Beautiful pic of E23 for Karen!! :)
BL- Thank you for checking on the weather.
OG- Thank you too for the weather status you posted yesterday.
Phyl- Terrible to have issues with your phone. I hope you are somehow able to get over to your phone carrier and get help immediately! You have to have your phone working correctly. Wishing Jim all the best at his appt this afternoon. Pretty night picture! Just read your reply to Lori and am so glad your phone booted up nicely and is fine now! Thank you for all the Cam updates & status! The Big Bear Valley nest was one I had been watching and I was so sad for Shadow & Jackie and how they would not give up brooding their eggs even though it was clearly evident that the eggs would not be hatching. :'(
Lori- Good phone advice for Phyl! :)
Hi Clynn! That is pretty good news about your Mom and that it won't be necessary to have surgery! That's a relief for all of you! Have a great time with the girls at your late lunch/early dinner date!! :) :) Enjoy your trip to the Greenhouse tomorrow - that will be fun. ;D
Puff- Nice warm hug you posted for Lori! :)
Our company just got here!!! Got to go now!! ;D It's hubby's brother and his wife (they are retired too)!! They will be spending the night!!!
Beakers have a great day!

Pool went ok today. But in speaking to someone about being tired I mentioned it might be an emotional thing due to the monitor situation... and I teared up. I know it is not dire, maybe I'm just worried about the test results. What? Me worry?! Bother...
I successfully changed out the patch and charged the device today. My skin isn't irritated... so far. Yay.

That is part of a nursery rhyme that was in one of my childhood nursery rhymes books when I was growing up... very familiar with it. Glad all went well with the vet visit.
Thanks!....Brenda was the name of my favorite employee..from NO...either in CA or MN. She just said her Momma used to say it to her all the time...I never heard it before her in CA in the 80's. Been saying it ever since.
She was so incredible an employee. Saw me through so much in my Santa Monica CA practice when I brought Chris as an infant to work with me. Had a special room set up for him and she watched/fed him as well as took care of my patients. Saw me through earthquakes, a bomb threat, and finally an idiot former mentally ill patient from a previous practice who stalked me and showed up at my business.
He jumped over the window to where Brenda sat and Brenda went to Chris while I ran out and called police.
Neighboring business' guys came and attacked him.
One of the many reasons I left California.
Never heard that saying before Brenda...hope you are well Brenda.

kb - Glad that you got things taken care of with Ollie. Hmmm, I don't think I have ever heard jiggity jig before, but I have heard, "Where ya at, cat" alot down South.

Good Morning Everyone.
Currently: 67F cloudy High 86F partly sunny, Low 65F
Did I say pulmonologist? ::) I meant nephrologist. Jim's doc agrees w/ the PCP and Dx is Stage 3 Kidney Disease . However, she's running bloodwork and 'the other test' along with a scan of his kidneys--all to confirm her diagnosis. Date for kidney scan TBA. She also said that the heart and kidneys are opposites in that the heart likes 'less' fluid in the body and the kidneys like 'more'. But with heart disease the heart always will out over the kidneys. And, that it's her'job' to find that half-way (happy medium) for the two organs. I am extremely concerned for Jim. I watched him and doc chat as he answered questions and all.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

That's a baby eaglet under the debris by the woman's hand with red nail polish.
Story posted in DNR fb page but the nest is in Hastings, MN
2 of the 3 eaglets did die, but one was alive and taken to the Raptor Center in St. Paul MN
Story posted by Scott Northard:
Yesterday morning the Bald Eagles nest just north of Lake Rebecca blew down in the high winds. For the last 14 years, we have used a telescope to watch the nest out of our back window and have seen eagles hatch in all but 2 of those years. I had been watching it that morning and noticed the eggs had hatched and the adults were feeding some baby eaglets. When I looked again a short time later a large branch had broken and the nest was gone.
We immediately called Carpenter Nature Center and they said they would send some of their staff out to see if the eagle chicks survived and if they could safely transport them to the University of Minnesota Raptor Center. We met them at Lake Rebecca Park, and found the tree and what was left of the nest on the ground. We found 2 dead baby eaglets, and while we were listening, we could hear a tiny peeping noise. After digging through the pile of sticks and twigs, we found a third baby eaglet still alive. It was gently removed and put in a cloth inside a box and transported to the Raptor Center, with another eagle from Welch that was also rescued that day. The Raptor Center reported that the eaglet arrived safely and is under their care.
Although it was sad to see the nest go down in the wind and 2 of the eaglets die, we were grateful that one could be rescued. Hopefully, the adult eagles will rebuild the nest nearby and continue to raise more eaglets.
Many thanks go out to Jen Vieth, Al Maloney, Sarah Germscheid, Tess Zahradka, and volunteer Dwight Smith of Carpenter Nature Center for their quick and professional response! And thanks to the U of M Raptor Center for their dedication to rehabilitating these magnificent birds when they need our help. We are fortunate that caring groups like this exist in our community.

oldguy - Thanks for the videos, still love to see the Q-kids videos. They are growing up!
Lani - Awww, love the sleeping pups.
Phyl - Thanks for all the links this morning. Hope everything works out for Jim, and the doc can get him fixed up. My brother had heart, and the same stage of kidney disease as Jim, but his kidney's were not functioning well. He had to be on dialysis.
tsk - We are dreary today. I hope it clears up.
kb - Oh my goodness! Hope the eaglet makes it.

Good morning! 77 going to 84? Humid! Bedding wasked and in the dryer! Will be ready for the help to put on the bed when she arrives! May try to get a haircut.
Need a new drivers license and car tag! The car is easy but am not sure they are going to let me drive! Will have to see! Lol, that ims the problem! Seeing!
I wonder how many nests fall each year! I am thinking we do not want to know the answer!
Lisa, looks like an egg on the Decorah nest is uncovered and a pair of geese are on the y. What is going on?
Phyl, I hope Jim will get the help he needs! Did the Dr. comment on all the physical activity he does? Nashville gets very hot and humid!
Hi tsk!
Lani, good sloth report!
-
karen - That egg in the N1 nest is from the goose who laid egg after MG & FG and goslings left nest. This pair that is on nest ran that goose out of nest. These two are quite noisy. ;D

The new cam has been installed, thank you for your patience while we have been offline and while we have been unable to provide night viewing. We have been testing cam operations and will set presets for the cam ops this afternoon. We will, of course must wait till darkness to check out the InfraRed capabilities (visible to the cam but not the wildlife).

Toroa News
EDIT: Next week's weigh day will be on Monday 22nd April rather than the usual Tuesday.
LGK fed Top Flat chick at 1207 hours as the live stream came back online.
Weighing of chicks happened 20 minutes or so after the live stream came back online but Top Flat chick was a bit too nervous after the activity at the cam and had just been fed anyway. Risking losing a fresh meal does not benefit the chick.
Top Flat chick is 84 days old, the average weight for males at this age is 6.5 kg.
Last week's update: Top Flat chick is 77 days old and weighs 5.9 kg at 9.20am. This is just under average for this age and slightly down on last week’s weight. At 9.26am LGL came in and fed her chick. Rangers were well away from the area at this stage having already weighed the heaviest chick at Observation Post which recorded a hefty 7.5 kg.
This week the Observation Post chick was the heaviest chick again at 7.8 kg. A larger basket has been necessary for weighing of these large chicks.
Check the graph here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nat...

Lisa, I think Decorah is getting one too many geese. When they start kicking out other mama geese, it's going to be trouble.
{{{Phyl}}} I send prayers for Jim's healing and comfort, and for you too. Mike's older brother is going through the same thing as Jim, he's doing much better today, than two years ago. Lots of hugs coming your way. Thanks for links and pics.
Karen, I hope your help gets things done for you. Good luck with haircut.
Hi Tsk, Puff, Tig :)

Yes, Lani. What a rare miracle to find that very young eaglet alive...it is in good hands, I know this personally...must just have landed perfectly and somehow protected....
Took a walk with Ollie man and toe survived!..just a little pain on toe-off...otherwise healing well.
Ollie was very happy for me....LOL
Too chilly here for the rest of the week and a little into next week. So glad I got to so much spring pick up of the gardens already.
6 huge lawn care containers full and ready for pick up tomorrow am....first pick up of the season.
Will give me some "room" to continue next week when warms up.

KB Great Lake Rebecca rescue. None of that rescue would have happened if someone had not been watching that nest through the years.
LISA Just finished spreading 10 more bags of mulch in the drizzle LOLOL In now and changed clothes and off to the grocery for a few things.
KAREN I was thinking the same thing about how many times a nest falls and no one knows about it. At least one baby survived.
LANI Those close-ups of parents and chicks are so good. The white is so white LOL
BAZI Glad you listen to your body. Keep moving but just in smaller doses. ;) ;)
A prayer please for Tim's cousin in Texas, who we found out this AM is currently undergoing brain surgery for a tumor - will do pathology. Apparently Joe has been having headaches for a while now - passed off as "migraine" until so bad he went to Baylor and almost immediately scan after scan-went into surgery. The tumor was bleeding causing the headaches. We pray that this is benign!!
Will likely get a text later today.
-
Karen- Glad to hear your doctor's office will be calling you to schedule the date. Hope you get in soon! Good luck with your driving/vision test!
Tig- Thank you for nice compliment! :) Good for you in how well you are getting used to the Monitor. {{Tig}}
Tsk- Yes, we had a good evening with family :) Wonderful encouragement you posted for Tig! Thoughts & prayers for Tim's cousin in Texas. Thank goodness he finally went to Baylor. Wishing him all the best. {{{Tim's cousin & family}}} Please keep us posted.
Kb- That is quite a scary story you told of getting stalked years ago. Thankfully you had Brenda who was so helpful to you on that scary day and on the other occasions you mentioned.
Grateful for the help that arrived for the nest that had gone down and that they found one eaglet still alive (so sad they all didn't survive), thank you so much for the folks that made this rescue!! Thank you Kb, for posting picture too.
Og- Thanks for the great links! One of my favorites is always the Quarantine Kids :)
Phyl- Re; Jackie & Shadow; thank you for the hug and I'm sending one right back to you. Hard to know why all 3 eggs did not hatch, I watched everyday just hoping at least one would, but it wasn't meant to be. They sure didn't give up on their precious eggs for the longest time tho. :( Okay Phyl, just read that it is a 'Nephrologist. I wish all the best for Jim. {{Jim & Phyl}}
Lani- Royal Albies looking good!! Bet the new Cam is great!
Baz- Good for your walk today!

some bounce
((( TSK/Tim )))
Ouch. 3.5 hrs. scraping and picking helicopter seeds out driveway expansion joints and then washing. That was after I sharpened the lawnmower blades and swept the garage.
Settling down with a hot lemonade with honey, orange pepper and roasted garlic hummus for lunch.
Camper went to take senior pictures for a young man at his daughter's/ grandson's school. I'm assuming the family could not afford to hire a photographer.... ? He was the only one who had not turned in pics for the yearbook. Nice of Camp to offer his services.

TIG Hope you did not over due it today. ??? Hot lemonade with honey. That is a new one for me. Camper is a sweetheart and we have seen so many examples of that!! :-* :-*
Joe woke( thinking he was at Jersey Mikes LOL) and can talk and wiggle his toes. Pathology results in 4 days. Altho, surgeon says he will likely need chemo and Baylor is trying to set him up with an oncologist/surgeon closer to his home. This makes me think the doc knows it's cancerous? Thank you for ongoing prayers.
-
Tsk, very sorry about Tims cousin Joe. I am glad he is in a major medical center of this country! Prayers were sent for him and his Doctors! It sure doesn’t pay to ignore symptoms, does it!
Had an okay day! Watched the geese, watched E23 try to fly away from a flock of pesky birds! Happens almost every year! Think they are telling him to leave home!
Got a good hair cut this afternoon! Young man did a good job!
Have a good night and hopefully will see you all

We had a pleasant day of 73! Not too hot, just very nice. :) Everyone have a good night & sleep well.

(((Tsk and Tim))), prayers for Tim's TX cousin, Joe. Glad he awoke from surgery with normal speech and mobility. LOL on the Jersey Mike's thing. How far is Baylor from his home? Hopefully, a family member can visit there with him till his discharge. Keeping him in my prayers for recovery and any future treatment.
Lani, I hope Mike got to the LA plant without too much travel disruption related to flight cancellations and airport delays caused by the storms. Hope he's home soon. Thanks for the pics and reports on the Royal Albies. What a treat to get to see them on cams and learn about their amazing lives. They are such loveable gentle giants. :) :-*
Karen, glad you got a good hair cut. I need one!
Tig, that's very nice of Camper.
KB, scary about your stalker. Thank goodness none of you were injured! Glad the surviving eaglet was rescued.
Clynn, I have forgotten which day you return, but sending you wishes for smooth travels!
((Take care, All.))

Baz, glad you're able to enjoy some time walking... Mike arrived in New Orleans Weds and is returning to Arizona in the morning. The first thing he did after he checked into his motel late Weds. he went to LaPlace Wafflehouse. The staff always remember him. They greet him with a "it's so good to see you honey!" Come sit down and we'll get your order in now. They always remember what he likes whether it's morning, noon or night. ;D .. I hope the weather's okay for travel... thanks.
{{{oh Tsk, prayers for Tim's cousin and for you both.}}} Both your families have a lot on their plate these days. :-* .. glad to hear Joe has normal speech and mobility after surgery. I googled Jersey Mike. Great menu, he must be hungry! ;D ... Will keep him in our prayers for continued recovery and future treatments. God Bless.
Tig, there you go, busy as a beaver. ;D My MIL loved hot lemonade with honey when she didn't feel well.... {{{Camper}}}bless him for his generosity. :-* Senior year is so important God bless the young man and his family. ... during my elementary years we couldn't afford to buy my school pictures. I had a couple of teachers that must have bought the regular package and gave it to me at the end of the school year. {{{Hugs for you both}}}
Eagles, glad you had an good time with family. :) .. any rain coming your way? Talons crossed you get some soon and kick the clouds our way. LOL! ;D ... Mike's coming home tomorrow. I got a lot of spring cleaning done. I didn't work outside like I had planned, too much pollen in the air. The junipers have been spreading their yellow pollen everywhere. The patio furniture, windows, poor Sadie comes in with yellow dust on her fur.... Ugh! Please send rain. ;D
Karen, glad you like your haircut. I hope your helper was able to get things done for you.
Good night!

Currently: 67F cloudy High 51F sunny, Low 38F
Tsk, Lani and Lisa, thanks for the hugs yesterday and for remembering me in your concern for Jim.
I'm headed out in two shakes of a lamb's tail & cuppa Java...to work on a plant project and give Jim
a bit of a head start on the garden...trimming and container cleaning.
(((TSK/TIM))) prayers for Tim's cousin (((Joe))) his family and you both.
So glad to read that Joe is recovering from his surgery and has normal speech and mobility.
Sending high hopes for Joe's victory in battling this health issue.
LANI Uggggg! Pollen is messy. Poor Sadie; glad for you as Mike will be home tomorrow
(((TIG))) Camper is very attentive to you :)
EAGLES- so glad you and your family had a good visit, nothing like 'catching up'
KAREN- glad you 're happy w/ your hair cut. Years ago I learned to just cut my hair myself than have it cut for me. Dr Womack (kidney) dis ask Jim
about what sort of work he did at Publix--he told her customer service and elaborated. She did think he was very active.
LISA- pretty AM today
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Reaching 57 today - Ave. is 60 sunny
KAREN Joe had not been ignoring symptoms per se. Doctors did not pursue further as headache was not constant and unrelieved at that time. Since the surgeon will arrange for chemo already I do believe he must know it is cancerous. We shall see. Nothing can make you feel great like a good haircut!!! Maybe you could request that young man again?
BAZI Baylor is 40 min from where they live in Texas. They used to live here but after Joe's son graduated from high school, Joe and wife moved to Texas where her family is. ( about 5 yrs ago or so) His son stayed here with his mother. ( Joe's first wife.) Very hard for Joe to move as he is/was very close to his son. His sister Kim ( from here) flew down the night before scheduled surgery and will stay with Joe's wife until Joe comes home in 4 days. I'm sure they will spend their days with him at the hospital. Kim is very smart and will be another set of ears to hear all the medical jargon and be a support for Joe.
LANI Nice experience for Mike to feel so welcome at the waffle house. Home away from home but never like being home which I'm sure he looks forward to today ;) ;) Awww sweet good night photo.
BL Words from the wise GM ;D
PHYL We don't hear much about the kestral program. Thanks for the update. Beautiful shot from the Audubon osprey boathouse.
-
BL - I never heard that saying before, about sleeping with a brown cow.
I only know How now, Brown cow....which actually means: Brown cow is a barrel of beer, so pass me another pint...LOL....maybe GM meant drink enough ale and stay healthy?
BRRR...our high today will still be almost 20 degrees below average high and there are flurries in the area.
I'm determined to empty the gas out of my snowblower which I managed to get down the concrete steps and in back of the house on sidewalk where if I mess up not such a problem...LOL
I've not done it before but have old instructions.
Note to self: Somehow? empty garage enough to fit both lawn mower and snowblower with vehicle inside all year.LOL
Morning all

kb - Glad to hear the toe is feeling a lil better.
baz - It is always good to listen to your body.
tsk - Oh my, more mulch spreading. Continued prayers for Joe! Woke up thinking he was at Jersey Mikes...LOL Praying it is not cancerous.
E4E - Glad you have a good time with your company.
tig - Very nice of ((Camper)) to offer his services.
karen - Glad you got a good haircut.

Good Morning Beakers
Having a few days of more 'normal' weather for April here this weekend. Yesterday was more damp than wet with temps in the upper 40s - .4 inches of rain total for the day. Today is partly cloudy with a high of 57 expected. Next rain expected late Monday, but temps to stay in the 50s. Decorah is expecting similar weather but a few degrees cooler.
Some updates from Iceland - volcano is still active, but volume has dropped to 3.2 cu. meters/sec. When the volume drops below 3 cms the volcano is expected to die. The videos from Iceland Explorer will contain footage from other events, so when you see people near the eruption, it is not the current eruption.

Good Morning! 79 now going to 89! Humidity is also 79%. Ugh! Humidity gors down as the day progresses!
Kani, glad Mike has friends at the Waffle House! Good. Breakfasts but if I were in La, that is the last place I would eat! Lol!
There is an osprey nest on the banks of Wolf .Bay, Orange Beach, Al! Beautiful serene view. I have fished in wolf bay. Checked in the other day and. Found Owls 🦉 have stolen this beautiful nest!
Tsk, I hope Joes condition is treatable and without further complications! Such issues make my miserable back seem very minor!
Have a great day in Albion and a safe trip tomorrow back home Clynn! Need an update on the kitties, Harley and their time with Ed and Kelsey!
All looked good at swfl this am and Mrs T was feeding both little T’s. When I looked!

An update on the storms from Tuesday...
8 Tornados confirmed in Iowa. The largest was in Lee and Henry Counties - 600 yards wide - EF2 rated and was on the ground for 56 minutes over a 42 mile path - fortunately, most of it was rural and sparcely occupied land - mostly tree damage with 1 farm house having the roof removed. Some power lines blown over and an RV blown off the road. This was about 60 mile south of me.
Here is video coverage by a storm chaser....
HUGE Tornado Strikes Iowa! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WIUs2eI0CE
Another tornado was to the north of Lori in Buchanan Co. (15 miles to her north) EF1 and was only on the ground for 5 minutes - no reported structural damage.
The others were in NW Iowa and were small with short duration.

KB Wonder how much that cat gets paid in treats LOL
LISA Comforting AM pic :D
OLDGUY That was so cool teaching Michael to play the piano for food :D Wow what a challenge to get Axel's weight down. Good Mom that adopted him. Sure could have been worse with those severe tornados :o Those storm chasers - God bless them - sure get some amazing footage

Karen, When Mike's in LA he eats pancakes every morning! He's a simple man with simple tastes buds. LOL! Thanks for update on SWFL and Mrs. T., it's especially good to know both of Mrs T's eaglets are being fed, especially the little guy. So far so good. ;D
Lisa Mike always feels welcomed at LaPlace restaurants. There's a small family pub/cafe he goes to for dinner. It's like a Cheer's pub, he walks in and everyone says Hi! Great to see him! He always orders their Chicken Picata. He won't let me make it for him... He has friends in that cafe that have invited him to their homes for dinner if he's there for the weekend. Taken him to an LSU football game/tailgate, and even taken him gator hunting in the bayou. Louisianians are very friendly as is Mike. Mike's not a chatter, or one who seeks attention, but he enjoys people, he's a good listener. Great people in Louisiana very generous in spirit and culture.
Oldguy, thanks for Iceland update. The volcano vent is huge now, and to be able to see the community just a few miles away is a scary situation... Love Axel's story. Thanks for weather update. I'll check out video now.
Kb Cats with job ;D
Tsk praying it's not cancerous. :-*
Phyl, good news from RRP about new Kestrel cam! ... nice nature vid.... beautiful sunrise at Fly away! Thanks for around the world cam pics. Love the osprey! ;D
BL, great Americana music, it's been a long time since I've heard Bonnie Riatt. :)
If the weekend traffic isn't bad, Mike should be home before 3pm. ;D
-
oldguy - Thanks for the videos. Thanks for the update on the Iowa tornadoes. I was watching Ryan Hall and there was a huge one, I think it was the one in Henry County.
karen - I am happy to hear that Mrs T was feeding both lil ones.
tsk & karen - Thanks for kind words on morning pic.
Lani - Love that morning pic. Lots of good places to eat in Louisiana!

I'm thinking that if that picture Lani posted (quoted here, above) doesn't make you smile, you might want to look into if you need some anti-depressants. Oh wait! Come to think of it, this picture is an anti-depressant!! :) :) :-*
Best thing I've seen all day! :) :-* Thanks, ((Lani))!! :-*
HAPPY FRIDAY, BEAKERS!! :)

LANI That is a real laugh out loud AM photo ;D ;D ;D How wonderful that Mike is a familiar and well liked visitor to his "work city".
Wonderful people he has met and enjoys being with. So I'm hearing "MI I I KE" in stead of " NO O O RM" ;) ;) ;) when he walks into the pub/cafe. ;D ;)
Off to Oak Park killing 3 birds with 1 stone. See pics of my niece's family trip to Portugal over spring break, celebrate 11 yr old great niece b-day ( no family party this year) with a surprise dessert and presents, and see "Broadway bound" great niece in her school choral concert!
Joe may go home tomorrow - Has a massive headache that will get worse before better due to swelling. His sister sent a photo Ughhh
See you tomorrow if the Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise!!

Hope you enjoy your trip to Oak Park! Birth place of Ernest Hemingway, location of a few Frank Lloyd Wright homes, location ohf my dad’s dental practice, my first home and an old shopping haunt! Lol!

Got accomplished , what I wanted this AM. ;)
BL- never heard of that 'Brown Cow' saying about sleeping w/ a cow before. I'd heard the 'How now...' version and it's true meaning
TSK-I know your comment about Cousin Joe was to Karen. But, thanks for the add'l info. and your thoughts. Glad Joe might be going home tomorrow. Prayers continue for Joe/his family and The Great Physician's healing. I'm not gonna think about the 'C" word right now.
LISA- pretty AM greeting today-equally pretty cup/saucer, sorta kinda reminds me of my Grandma Olivine's Blue Willow set I have packed away.
OG- that is a lot of tornados for that area! Yesterday FNC had a segment on the Icelandic Grindavik volcano with Northern Lights directly above; enjoyed the Cole/Marmalade meows...some kittys 'roll' their M's. Like Maggie does. So cute when they do that.
LANI your AM greeting today is a hoot. Love the reaction 'let 'er rip laugh' of the dog and woman. Mike should be home now?...and hope he's safe and a successful business trip too. Pleasant surprise welcome at the LaPlace restaurant. Regular patrons get the warmest greetings. ;)
KAREN- glad to read Mrs. T is feeding both hatchlings
Well...think I'm caught up for the day here. :-\

Trying to come up with interesting images!
Lani- The LaPlace Wafflehouse is so good to Mike!! Nice that they Know him and give him extra special service in their restaurant! :) No rain for a while - we had quite a bit, so these warmer days are most appreciated! We did have some terrible pollen and now it looks like it might be easing up. There were a few times when I went out into our back yard and watered our yard to get the pollen to go down into the lawn! Very special folks in Louisiana!! :)
Phyl- I too posted hugs for you & Jim yesterday! :-* I am always keeping you, Jim & Maggie in my thoughts & prayers. {{Jim, Phyl, Maggie}}
Tsk- Good that Kim will be there with Joe as an extra set of ears. That really is most helpful in remembering all that is said by the doctor and medical staff. Thoughts & prayers continue for Joe and wishing him all the very best. Enjoy your day today - sure sounds like a lot of fun!
Og- Bet your store is going to get very busy soon - especially with Mother's Day around the corner! :)
Tig- Hope you are feeling okay. Nice that your tulips are sending up flowers! :)

tsk - Adorable kitty pic this am
I woke up this morning to wonder what that white line was on my deck funiture...stepped outside to get a better view and just now was pummeled once again with graupel.
The graupel on my chair must have accumulated overnight.
This is a thorough and easy read to what it is. Got some on and off yesterday as well.
I'm still surprised when I find long term residents of MN not even knowing what it is, so herehttps://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/00-big-turkey-624x832.jpg goes:
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/04/19/what-is-that-falling-from-the-sky-friday-morning-graupel
Can't wait for spring, LOL

I don't believe I ever heard that you were part of our extended IL group, karen. I was west side of the city, Midway Airport neighborhood. Live way west of city now 50 years, DuPage county, Darien.
Ever in the area any more? Maybe the 3 of us could have lunch? Maybe anyone else around?

tsk - Joe's massive headache and swelling sounds like the symptoms that Jeff's step-sister had when they had to operate on her. She had a brain aneurysm. Continued prayers for Joe! Hope you had a great time yesterday in Oak Park visiting.
Phyl - Love the good night pic.
Lani, E4E, karen, Puff, and all - Morning :)

Happy Birthday to Jeffs Dad! He, Clynns mother and I could form an old agers club! Lol. Wished for all of us!
Tsk, I hope there has been a treatment or medication to ease Joes pain! Wow! Hope he is off the catheter but do not think they are that difficult to manage. Excellent Cancer treatment facilities in his area!
The forecasted high of 91 has been down graded a few degrees to
the high 80s!
Safe travels to Clynn today and welcome home !
NR was thinking about you and the nest. Yesterday! Good to see you!

Eaglet Growth and Development: Week Four

(https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/19/eaglet-growth-and-development-week-four-3/)
We’re writing a series of blogs about the first few weeks of an eaglet’s life. An eaglet spends roughly 75 to 80 days in the nest. For about the first half, it grows and gains weight. For about the second half, it grows flight feathers and starts developing the skills it will need post-fledge. We will focus on week four in this blog.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Jeff's dad. His actual birthday is not till the 27th, but Jeff's stepsister works next weekend, so she wanted to do something this weekend for his dad.
tsk - I hope to feel as young at that age too! Pop still works (delivers cars for a dealership) when needed, he cuts his own grass, mulches, and does whatever handy work needs to be done around the house. He hates sitting down, as he says, it makes his hip hurt, so he is constantly moving. Hope Joe got home and all settled, prayers!
karen - LOL, the old agers club.
Lani - We had a great day, and the food was good. We had ribeye steaks, potato salad (made by me), macaroni salad, pasta salad (SIL made), and cake. All of Pop's favorites.
T40 - Pretty kitties for Caturday. :D
E4E - Thanks! :)
oldguy - Your card game meal sounds delicious, but tell me what muskmelon is, please? I have never heard of it. BTW, Jeff has a Taco Cat shirt ;D
tig - Hope you enjoyed that deep dish pizza!
Phyl - Thanks! :) Pretty morning pic, thanks for the links.

It will be closed for 2 years for repairs..just started that project.
Ollie man, Yes I promise to head out with you once it gets to 50....and yes, I know I've gotten soft, LOL

Is CLYNN home today or tomorrow?
PHYL Nice scene with the boat and lilies :) and cute chick in daffodils . Cardinal call wakes me every morning :)
LISA Your FIL did not look 87 in that photo. So great to still be that active. Keeps all the joints lubricated LOL What a nice pot luck dinner you all enjoyed. Dad's fav's are after my own heart. ;)
KB Beautiful stone arch bridge. Looks like other ways around it for 2 years.
-
some bounce
KB - great pic. Yes, we are, most of us, getting soft. Frustrating. Will attempt to mow today.
The garlic bread app was yummy. The deep dish was a disappointment. NOT a true Chicago style. It was presented in a deep pan but was half filled with bread and a light amount of topping. Mine was pork belly. I located a few thin pieces. I ate the top off mine and then enjoyed a salted caramel gelato. I'll need to do better research and follow up by phone to find a true deep dish.
Hugs all. Keep looking UP

Good Morning Beakers
only 1 out 3 last night - but mostly close games... The meal was great, with only a few left overs...
Lisa - another name for muskmelon is cantaloupe.
Muskmelon: What Is It and How Is It Different from Cantaloupe? - https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/muskmelon-vs-cantaloupe
While cantaloupe varieties are muskmelons, not all muskmelons are cantaloupes. The name muskmelon comes from the sweet fragrance of the ripe fruit. The term musk comes from a Persian word for perfume, and melon is a French word derived from the Latin melopepo, which means 'apple-shaped melon'.
There is a city to my SE on the Mississippi River called Muscatine. There is a large area of bottom land to the south of the city that is farmed for mostly melons - the farmers started to sell their melons as 'Muskmelons' in the 60's instead of cantaloupe to distinguish them from melons grown elsewhere, tying the name to Muscatine.

tsk - our stone arch bridge once was a railroad bridge but now only a pedestrian and bicycle bridge.
There are 20 drive-able bridges over the Mississippi River just between Minneapolis and St. Paul alone.
However, pedestrians and bicyclists will be put out for sure for 2 years as they had that one to themselves.

Envy you the celebration of your Dad's birthday. The whole family has a treasure to enjoy - that's wonderful.
I've been doing a lot of memories of Dad this last week or so. Lost him in 1983 at age 65, 41+ years now. Doing my veggie garden this year reminds me that his fence for the garden no longer is. He hand made a cedar red/black/gold oriental 3 foot high fence. Large Chinese sanskrit symbol for abundance. Weather and wood are not an eternal match. Last year I took down memories/fence for the last time. I miss my fence each time I go to work the yard. :'( x thousands.
I guess, (I know) I'm in a reflective, melancholy spirit this morning. . .

Happy Sunday! Cloudy and a trace of rain today bring cooler temls for a few days and hopefully lower humidity! Even had one thunder clap, off in the distance!
Thanks for the news on precious e23! Love to see the eagles in the pond and bathing! WhenM 15 first showed up, Harriet chased hem there and got him in to bathe! Rip, dear lady, where ever you are!
I read that all cantaloups sold in the US, commercially produced are Muskmelons! The only true. Cantaloup, albeit a very close relative are grown in Europe! Not as tasty! This article also referred to other melons as muskmelons! I truly prefer honeydews , watermelon and casaba to cantaloup as Old Guy reported . Whatever they are called, your dinner sounded delicious!
Old guy, if Muscatine was muscadine they could become a grape growing capital!
Phyl, loved the moaning picture with the vibrant greensand the bright yellow daffodils.

Tig, if you drive about 200 miles to the Wisconsin Dells there is a Piazzria Unos! That is the place that originated the original deep dish stye Chicago pizza! My office , in Chicago looked down on that original Unos! While a great tasting dish, the older version of Chicago pizza was Very thin crust, my favorite. Goid luck finding something!
Good luck Clynn on todays drive! The kitties, Ed and Kelsey will be happy to see you!
Hi Baz

Eagles, Mike is home and it'll take a couple of days for him to catch up with his sleep. He's been going to bed at 7pm.
Oldguy, The video update on Iceland volcano was great, especially the music... Good view of Grindavik... Your dinner sounds like a winner! Mike would love it! LOL! Good luck!
Karen, Here's a video for you ;D

TIG Too bad on that deep dish. Consolation was the salted caramel gelato ;D
OLDGUY Didn't realize that all cantaloupes are muskmelons but not all muskmelons are cantaloupes' Also learned the correct spelling of cantaloupes LOLOL As fast as they are working there is still so much to do to clear a path after that bridge ddisaster. WOW That piece on cheese was very interesting. Didn't know much of that. ???
KB It looked like just people would fit on it so glad you reinforced that. ;)
PUFF Thanks for Ladyhawke's video ;) Be grateful you still have those memories of Dad. :-*
OH NO LANi What can I say about this Sunday's "religious" ;D ;D ;D Haven't asked lately but how is your sister enjoying "grammahood". Barb's son Mike and wife ( Birmingham) who already have 5 yr old twin girls and 2 yr old girl now have a newborn girl as of the 18th!!! Mike is definitely outnumbered!!!
BAZI OOPs I had forgotten I saw some pictures of her FIL she posted on FB - not here.
LISA YAY I'm glad you posted it.
-
kb - The stone arch bridge is very pretty.
tsk - :D
tig - Aww, sorry about your pizza not living up to the true deep dish. :(
oldguy - Thank you! I have seen those in my store, but they just call it cantaloupe. I have often wondered why it looked different.
((Puff)) - Rewound to the pond, a beautiful sunny day in Decorah :D
Lani - :D
karen - I am waiting to have some pizza with tsk at Giordano's. ;D

Lisa, oh, that's a GREAT pic of Jeff and his Dad!!! :D Thanks for sharing it!! :) :-* Happy Belated Birthday Celebration Wishes to Jeff's Dad!! And Happy Early Birthday Wishes to Jeff's Dad!!! ;) ;D ;D The birthday dinner menu sounded sooo yummy!
Karen, HI!! :D I have floated down the river through the Wisconsin Dells in a small boat with a tour guide. It was lots of fun! I never knew about the Wisconsin Dells till I was driving, on my way to and through Chicago on my way to Minneapolis - back in the middle 70s - and I saw all the highway billboards for "See the Wisconsin Dells!," LOL, so, I did!!! It always pays to pad your long-distance driving trips with some extra time for surprise, unplanned detours!! ;D
((TSK)), it sounds like you had a wonderful family visit - birthday and performance for your "greats" and getting the family Portugal vacay trip story and pics! Prayers continue for Tim's cousin, Joe, and family. Glad to hear he is headed home.
Oldguy, who cares about who won at cards... LOL! ;) ;) ;D Not when you had all that yummy roast and sides and dessert to feast on!! Leftovers? Yay! I want some!! :D Yay for you for having the weekend to R-U-N-N-O-F-T!!! ;D

Tsk, Clynn is driving home today! She posted it would be Sunday!
Ah, sitting here thinking of pizza!
-
One can compare it to raptors / eagles / bald eagles - muskmelon = raptors / cantaloupe = eagles / North American Cantaloupe = Bald Eagle
-
Old Guy, lol!
-
LISA I could eat a nice chilled cantaloupe in one sitting LOLOL You bet . Pizza at Giordano's ;D
BAZI Of course being from Wisconsin it was a family long weekend for us kids often at the Dells. We had to do the Duck boat rides - an amphibious vehicle that would pretend to be stuck on a small island in the river. In my childhood years I truly wondered if it was real LOLOL Never heard " R U N N O F T" before :o
OLDGUY LOLOLOL

Og- Well, at least you had 1 out of 3 - that still sounds pretty good! Everyone got to enjoy a great meal! :) ;D
Puff- Wonderful that you have beautiful memories of your Dad's fence. Hopefully you have pictures. :)
Beakers have a good night.

TIG A very unusual piece of litter in your front yard :o
NR How nice for you to be able to work remote - esp on those dark dreary winter mornings. Hope you can stay in touch with some of your work friends.
PHYL How come you don't see many watermelon in the summer? Origins of Earth Day go way back I see. Thanks for all the nest updates :)

I had a nice week at Mom's! The weather was warm until a storm blew through Thursday night and it turned chilly, but still sunny and nice. I visited my Aunt Linda and Aunt June, took Mom to Evansville for a heart test, another day in Evansville shopping on Friday and finished several little chores she needed done around the house. I got boxes of papers down for her to go through - she has all of their tax returns back to when they got married in 1951!! Cathy and Steve plan on being there for Mother's Day. Becky and Jennifer were there for a couple of weeks in February. Kelsay and I will go for a week in July like we always do. I don't know yet if anything is in the works for her 90th birthday in November.
Phyl, a different 365, and the bullfrog at the end! 74 and windy here today! The North kids are looking so good! And another goose couple in Decorah! Falcons brooding eggs everywhere! This picture is from 3/30, they should be hatching around Mother's day!

Lani, another so sweet goodnight picture... Ed said the cats were good all week, so I think we are all okay. Harley only gets a bit torked when Sophie tries to jump on him to play! She is the busy one, always into something! This morning I saw that Harley had managed to get the container of kitten chow opened and had a feast! The feeding is what I have to figure out now! He certainly doesn't need kitten food, the vet said he could stand to lose a little weight...ha!
tsk, I love cantaloupe too, but it's a crap shoot on whether you get a good one or not. Just like watermelon!
Gotta go help Kelsey, BBL!

Popping in to say hello.....it's salon day!!
Be back later to catch up!
-
Enjoy the salon, Lisa!
56 degrees this morning with a high reaching only 71 today! I can enjoy cooler. Temps for about two days before it goes back to tropical temps!
My little Satsuma tree that lost one third of itself. During Idalia hurricane last year is looking great now and is full of white fragrant blossoms! Should have some delicious fruit this fall! Wish I could share them with you!
There are 3 or 4 baby house finch heads peeking over the nest edge! Hard to see up there and they will be gone soon! Am late getting a feeder
out for the hummers!
Watermelon! Aaah! Summer is the beat time to buy them and they should be abundant in Nashville! My mother spent her childhood summers on a family farm south of Nashville , in Franklin where she would steal put of bed to get a baby pig to sleep with and during the day run around the farm with her sisters, breaking a watermelon off the vine and letting it roll down hill, breaking apart in the creek! They would wait for it to get cool and then eat it! My mother said there was nothing better! Close to 100 years ago!
-
This house exploded around 8am this morning. That's Dennis and Vi's house next door, the blue one. They were gone. My house is 3 houses south of the blue house.
House is still smoldering/burning right now...presumed a gas explosion. the people in that house just moved in a few months ago. Only Grandma was home and she walked out of the house being evaluated but not burned.
At the time it exploded, my two front doors, both dead locked moved into the house at least 1/2 inch..and the loudest noise I've ever heard
I ran outside to look and at the same time my neighbor also was out. We walked up and their out side gas meter was also burning.
My neighbor and I saw something fly in the air towards the back of our homes.
An hour later a shed in the back yard caught fire with trees....as 3 or more fire departments were already on scene they ran to extinguish that one but a Sheriff told us to immediately leave the house with Ollie. We did and maybe 1/2 hour later we could go back inside, no power, gas, anything.
Electricity just now came back on.
The news channels and helicopters are now over head....
On standby till this thing gets completely checked out.
I heard they will be inspecting all of our houses.
Later

{{{Kb, Ollie, Chris}}} oh my gosh!! So glad you are okay, as well as your home... :o So Dennis and Vi are okay? So was there someone in that burning house? Who is grandma and what house was she in? Good they will be inspecting all homes. Something must be up with the gas line. How frightening!!! Sending hugs and prayers.
Karen, that's good news about your Satsuma tree. Lots of good spring news at your home! Good luck baby finches. I haven't seen any baby finches at the feeder yet. Sweet stories of your mother. ;D
Lisa, Enjoy your spa day! ;D
{{{Clynn}}} Welcome Home! Happy to hear all is well with your mom. And all went well with Ed, Kelsey and furry family too! ... all looks well at Norwich Cathedral... I wish it was the same with our Hellgate and Dunrovin Ospreys.... Dunrovin Swoop's gals have left him, he's alone on the nest. Hopefully, some pretty gal will show up soon.... Iris and Louis continue to mate, the handsome single osprey wants to be with her. But, Louis is determined to have both nests. He did bring her a fish yesterday instead of stealing her food. But, he spends more time with his other mate. :-\ I can't watch anymore, I just check in and make sure she's okay. Have a good day getting caught up at home. :)
Phyl, Thanks for nests updates, they look at peace with the world.
-
Lani - Dennis and Vi are okay. I requested a gas guy to go in their house with them as they were anxious to get back in. I left them with that guy and haven't spoken with them since.
Luckily their house was not vinyl or aluminum....cause the flames were licking their house.
Yes the new owner's of that houses Grandma was in the bathroom at the time but walked out somehow.
She's in the hospital being evaluated. all the rest maybe 6 or more were at work.
They came home after it happened.
House is still smoldering and a huge backhoe is now placed in front of the house. Am guessing they will dig the house and gas lines soon.
A blast waves is ferocious...I thought a car hit my house and as I said both dead bolt locked doors move inward towards me but didn't break.

Hopefully the authorities will solve the explosion issue soon!
Read two interesting articles yesterday and today but I am too computer challenged to post links! However a google check will probably find them. The first was about the sloths! Said they do not fart normally, but only through their mouth! 👄 Can have problems if eating too many leaves.. the second one is about scientists and the San Diego zoo working together to bring the black footed ferret back from almost complete extinction. They used cells that have been frozen for 30 years!

On the property line of my neighbor. with her other neighbor. Trees lit up though. The most beautiful maple.
They then ordered everyone on my block out of their homes..
Had Richfield, Bloomington, Edina, and the Airport Fire all here.
Still smoldering.
https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/woman-hospitalized-after-reported-explosion-in-richfield/
Course they always get some details totally wrong...no power line fell, it was explosion embers.
A picture of the shed is embedded in the link above
I know Maureen and Jim pretty well
-
The house directly behind the burned shed is my son's best friend, Colins' home.
He came home from work to observe.
Luckily nothing in his home/yard was damaged.....we all feel darn lucky
The wind has recently picked up and is ferocious...so, in a way, if it had to happen good thing it happened when the wind was low.
They are still up there with the back hoe...the house is now totally gone.
Dennis and Vi's home will be repainted on the side, there house as of 1pm today will be de-smoked and totally cleaned.
They want them to leave for the night but they don't want to as Dennis has a nurse appt early tomorrow am.
We shall see.
It is true a Sheriff deputy was across the street from me serving a warrant and/or eviction order when the blast occurred. I saw him and her...they apparently got Grandma out of the house immediately after it exploded. They tore out of that parking lot immediately. Confirmed below:

LISA I could eat a nice chilled cantaloupe in one sitting LOLOL You bet . Pizza at Giordano's ;D
BAZI Of course being from Wisconsin it was a family long weekend for us kids often at the Dells. We had to do the Duck boat rides - an amphibious vehicle that would pretend to be stuck on a small island in the river. In my childhood years I truly wondered if it was real LOLOL Never heard " R U N N O F T" before :o
OLDGUY LOLOLOL
Tsk, I bet that was great fun as kids riding the big Duck boats and playing at the island! That "r-u-n-n-o-f-t" is dialog from 2 different scenes from my fav movie - "O Brother, Where Art Thou." My sister and I loved that movie and all the funny things in the dialog, and she and I now often use "o-f-t" in our texts, as a throwback adopted silly use of that from that movie. Ha ha!! ;) :D
-
Good Lord Almighty, KB!!! Glad everyone is okay - and hope that family's Grandma will be, too. I imagine she suffered injury from the blast - concussive, and maybe hearing issues, as well. Hope she recovers okay. So glad no one else hurt and others' property's are mostly unscathed, or at least as far as you know, except for some smoke and smaller burned areas. Glad your windows didn't break! Hard to believe Vi's windows didn't break, being next door! Take care.
Have a good day, Beakers! Stay safe, All! :)

Thanks Baz..
I'm heading to bed....to decompress.
See ya all tomorrow.

CLYNN Good to have you back - I had no competition for the AM post time LOLOL You covered a lot of bases while home. Will presume Mom's doc test went well. Did you ever get to Home Goods? Good that you gave Mom some homework to do while she is without company ;) How was that long drive with one eye!!
KAREN I noted that my first hummer last year was May 7th. I get my feeder out by the first. Love the story about Mom and the watermelon - life was so much simpler then!
KB Oh my gosh!!!! What a way to greet the day. So glad Grandma walked out unscathed. Were Dennis and Vi home? Feel so bad for the new home owners...lawsuit? Great that all that attn. will be given to Vi's home.
LANI Gorgeous AM cactus in bloom :)
PUFF Just home from picking up Barb and Tom at O'Hare. 66 here. Feels better than yesterday's 47 LOL
BAZI I so agree about Vi's windows not being blown out!!!
-
tsk, yes, Mom's test was good! The checked her heart valve(s)?. There was some blockage but not enough to need any surgery. Especially not for someone almost 90! The ride was okay, I tried an eye cover but for some reason it just didn't work. Next I am going to try taping my eyelashes down to keep my eye shut! Glad to hear Tom and Barb made it home safely. 69 and windy here!
kb, what a scary happening! Same thing happened in Des Moines a couple of years ago. I don't remember ever hearing exactly what caused the gas to explode, but that house was also totally demolished. It's a good thing that you have to have insurance when you buy a house!
baz, funny that you and sis use the words from that movie for fun purposes! My sister Cathy remembers all the phrases from movies, she often spouts off something from a Monty Python movie like: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=monty+pythion+biggus+dickus&&mid=F08C1D1CAD115C4F2832F08C1D1CAD115C4F2832&&FORM=VRDGAR
Not everyone appreciates Monty Python, but we sure do! LOLOL!
karen, here is your sloth video: https://www.grunge.com/1318228/why-sloths-dont-fart/ And here is the one about the San Diego Zoo and the Black-footed Ferret: https://science.sandiegozoo.org/species/black-footed-ferret
Lani, love that blooming cactus! Oh no, I was so hoping Louis would leave Iris along this year... I hope another female finds Swoop, he is a good osprey Dad! Oh, all is good with the 3 cats now! I just need to solve the food situation, for now I am feeding them separately.
nr posted on FB, FINALLY ospreys have returned to the Wells Fargo nest!! One egg so far! Both adults are on the nest right now, one is brooding. And today a second egg!

Good Afternoon Beakers
OH my word, this wind in Decorah today on cams is CRAZY!
baz, Lani, Phyl, E4E, and all - Thanks for the kind word on the pic of Jeff and his Dad.
karen - Did you get pizza last night, after all the talk of it? ;D Love satsumas!
oldguy - Great comparison....LOL
tsk - Pizza ;D I love chilled melon too!
tig - LOL, toothpaste?
nrstooge - Yay on remote work!
Phyl - Yep, sort of a summertime fare for the meal. Thanks for all the pics and links.
clynn - WELCOME HOME! Sounds like you had a great time at Mom's.
kb - Wow, very scary!
-
Lani... I meant to say ... Beautiful picture this a.m.
-
CLYNN Now I've got to find Monty Python movies and watch again. ;) ;) They were so funny. NR had posted that here about WF and the osprey nest. I remember when you worked there how you would post that. Good to see they are back.
LISA Tim came in from bringing the garbage cans back in the garage and said " It's like a hurricane out there!"
-
Clynn - they didn't purchase insurance for the house yet....they paid cash for the house...7 of them that is.
Total loss so while Dennis and Vi have been here while they restore the inside of their house we said:
the city will probably try to build an apartment complex on that lot...LOL
an inside joke.
-
C Lynn , thanks for posting the links to the sweet sloths and on the efforts to save the ferrets! Enjoyed a trip to San Diego and the wonderful zoo, a few years ago! Great place and nice city! Seds

The Beach in Pacific Grove, Ca
Phyl- Awe, Age 67 was too young for your Dad and Puff's to pass. Hugs for you both. {{}} So happy that your sweet little Maggie keeps hangin' in there!! ;D :-* Thanks for links and all the nest cam pics! Love DNN! :)
Lani- I know you walk with Sadie early every morning. Hoping you are starting to get a little bit warmer mornings, or maybe it is still too soon.(?) Either way, good for you in how you faithfully walk with your sweet Sadie! :)
Clynn- Welcome home Clynn!! ;D I bet you quite a welcome from all in your household!! ;D Sounds like everyone had a great time!!
Karen- I sure wish I could enjoy some of your Satsuma fruit later on when it starts ripening on your tree!! You are so lucky! :) Wonderful to hear that the San Diego Zoo & Scientists are working together.
LisaG - 'Salon' day!!! I'm sure it was a fun and relaxing time for you!! I have noticed those high winds in Decorah too ??? ::)
Kb- Such a terrible and scary situation for you and the neighborhood this morning. Thank goodness the grandmother made it out of the house safely. So glad you were safe. I can only imagine how scary it must have been to hear such an explosion. :o ::)
Tig- Sounds good to have gone to the pool, but wish it were a lil bit warmer!
Puff- You had 67 in your area today, and we had only 62!
Baz- Like your 'oft' story! ;D
Tsk- Bet it was great to see Barb & Tom again! So nice you picked them up from the Airport and probably chatted all the way home! :)
Lori, Og, Bl, Nr :)
Beakers have a good night.

TSK- pretty cherry blossoms this AM; I have no idea why watermelon isn't stocked to much extent. Summertime staple when I was a child. Odd how
salting makes it sweet.
CLYNN- nice to see your posts, seems like 'forever' since they've greeted us. So glad to read all's well with your Mom and on your safe return to find Ed,
Kelsey and the fur babies doing well. Many thanks for Norwich Cathedral Hawk and Owl Trust snap. Looks good there.
LISA- Your AM picture reminds me---I've had a slice of Mom's homemade fruit pie for dessert for breakfast many times as a teenager---no I wasn't fat---bone thin.
Worried my Dad to no end...but Doc said I was getting al the food groups and it was homemade so don't fret. Go figure...wouldn't fly these days though.
LANI-lovely cacti blossoms today about prettiest cactus photo I''ve seen in ages. I'd love to have a chat with Iris about Louis and Louis about Iris.
Glad to see the WG nest is brooding and a second egg. Tks for snaps.
TSK/KAREN- I had marked my calendar for March on hummers. Time got away from me, I thought I was late so... only just three days ago got the clear nectar feeder out and hung some red petunias on the feeder pole next to that. I hope we have some this yea. Last season only had two---did some investigating to fine
a neighbor two streets up and feeders out and is my 'competition' ::)
KAREN- never heard of the Satsuma tree so Googled and it's an Owari Mandarin orange tree. Quite decorative when potted and only one is
needed for fruit production. Love mandarin oranges and if I were a neighbor would be asking to buy some.
HI EAGLES- thanks for you thoughtful comment about Dad. In just 5 months, would out live him by a year. "Odd' sort of feeling that is as like Dad, I'm the
youngest in my family. Lovely snap of Pacific Grove, Ca beach--water so clear.
OG- tks for music links will listen later tonight; Claire has some really decorative 'fashion accessory' harnesses for the kitties. ;)
Walter's D'Artagnan made a great recovery :) Minion- LOL and true.
-Mercy! That house explosion!! So very close to you. How scary for the neighborhood.
Hopefully upon inspection no damages, beyond the smoke. Thankfully the grandmother was taken out of the house before it exploded

Clynn, Karen, thanks for sloth article. Something I did not know.... Also very interesting about the Black footed ferret.... great pics of WF ospreys. We liked Monty Python movies too.
Baz, that scene in O Brother Where art thou is one of my favorites. Love the music too! ... it is amazing Vi and Dennis windows on that side of the house didn't break too.
Tsk, Welcome home to Barb and Tom. Prayers for your family.
Tig thanks ;D
Eagles, beautiful beach. Morning are getting warmer, but I do love winter.... Hi to Kris! ;D
Oldguy, D'art is one of my favorite Walter Santi cats. He has such an "old soul-like face... So glad he's better, what a brave boy he is. :-*. Glad the General is doing well.
Phyl, pretty good night pic.

Good Morning Everyone.
Currently: 44F clear with a High 76F sunny, Low 44F
Yesterday, finished Jim' s weeding. Since Jim forgot to charge the hedge trimmer---I use the long
handle pruners on the rose bushes in the back. Suffice to say---all those push-ups I've been
doing really paid off. ;D
PUFF- visited San Diego Zoo in my twenties--it's one of the best.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, love the Chorus at Dawn 365! Someone did a great job on the felted eagle! Now don't you overdo on the yard work! Love the moon and stars you posted last night, wonder if it is for sale somewhere... I'll search! Glad to hear you are out living your Dad's time on this earth...I have thought I should at least live 17 more years, every year. Mom will be 90 in November and was 17 when I was born. But one never knows...
Lani, love the wrinkled puppies sleeping... Hope you are all doing well in your beautiful forest home!
E4E, yes, had a good time at Mom's, she is doing well! The weather was nice and warm (86 one day), then a storm blew through during the night and it was chilly! The heat even came on! Warmer days are coming, I am sure of it!
tsk, I had my favorite Monty Python movies on DVD, which I finally donated to Goodwill. I am going to look and see if they are on youtube! The Life of Brian, The Search for the Holy Grail and The Meaning of Life!
Lisa, don't you love walking out of the salon after a trim? Always feels good!
Benny Bruhling - Flying High, With Decorah Eagles:
Good afternoon my fine feathered friends. Today once again I have Mom Decorah photo's, Mom and Dad Decorah made the live cam famous, so that's why we do our best to keep this show alive. Even though Dad is gone Mom is still here with here new mate DM2, who has proven himself to be a good dad. These photos are taken at N4 behind Walmart, Decorah Eagles - Sue Bruhling and I can't get enough of this pair, we will keep following them as long as we are able to do so. With the help of our good friends Cindy Bellrichard & Larry Bellrichard this show will continue. Today I have photos of Mom & DM2 taking good care of their youngsters. Although it may be hard to see Mom in these photo's because the nest bowl is so deep, you can see her head if you look closely. As always I want my friends to be safe and enjoy life to its fullest. My annoying song choice for this post LOL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ttdNTXX7r82.xx&oh=00_AfDjemghWDeFu4dUO7LHRruVB2GsHConyR6F5dmkjpQbuQ&oe=662D72D8

EAGLES Beautiful beach area - Bet it is popular ;)
OLDGUY I remember "Spirit in the Sky". Wonder how long it took for the GEneral to get used to the harness? Claire sure is giving new life to that senior cat! Good Santi :D
PHYL My grandfather - Dad's dad - died at 68. I remember my Dad getting a bit nervous when 68 approached for him...He lived to 90! I'd love that good night lighting fixture :o Amazing felted eagle :o

tsk - Pretty morning greeting. We have been a lil chilly in the mornings, mid 40's. Had to turn the heat back on to take the chill off.

why of course that's what a doggy would do to help a stuck kitty...
Lisa - Yes, Dennis and Vi's home is okay...they will paint the house and fix their side yard etc. but in general they are lucky.
I took Ollie for a walk past the house today...insulation was on the street and boulevards for 2 blocks east of the explosion and it still smelt like fire...burnt stuff I guess that smell may linger for awhile.
I somehow hurt my thumb joint at the base of my hand....quite necessary I again discover so keeping this short.
Discovering more and more about the house "owners"....the news was fairly shallow compared to reality

Clynn, LOLOL on that Monty Python scene! Sooo hilarious! I love Monty Python!! :D :D :D Well, pooh on the patch not working well for your drive. I wonder if you can put the right amount of gauze between the patch and your closed eyelid to keep your eye closed without putting too much pressure on it and without having to use tape. I'm sure our brains must try to work some of those circuits when the eyelid is open, even when behind a patch, causing "interference" in the vision... or something like that. Hope you find the solution that works just right!

Good night!

Lani, your good night pups make me want to scooch up close, wrap my arms around them, and say, "Snuffleupagus." LOL. Not the character by that name, just the sound of that word, describes the feeling to me of doing that. They look so sweet with those loveably snuggly velvety mugs. :-* :-*

Phyl- Funny how we all kind of 'catch up' to our Parent's ages! Wow, only 5 months until you are at your Dad's age that he passed away. I have a hunch you will live a long & prosperous life! ;D Good for you in using the long-handled pruning tool! Great arm exercise. :)
Lani- I am ready for warmth, and although the first part of the day was at 59 deg., it is 64 now and very nice.
Karen- I'd like to get over to the San Diego Zoo sometime - never been yet!
Clynn- That is so wonderful that your Mom is doing so well & fine! :) Thanks so much for posting Benny Bruhling! I love seeing and hearing about our beautiful and dedicated Mom Decorah!!
Tsk- I know you were talking to Phyl about your Dad's Father's age, but just for the sake of mentioning, my Dad's Father lived to 60 yrs. That is such a young age now! One of my hubby's brothers lives just up the street from that Beach area in P.G. - very close walking distance.
Tig- Enjoy BBall tonight on Tv! I will go back and look at the Baltimore vid! Thank you!
LisaG- CA has lots of places to go and see!! 8)
Kb- Very lucky that Dennis & Vi's home was not more damaged from that terrible explosion next door. Nice that you & Ollie enjoyed your walk this morning. :)
Baz- Like your 'happy day' - beautiful flowers!
Spent part of the day with my mom & sis; I drove us to see my Aunt in a nearby town as it is my Aunt's birthday today. She got some nice gifts! A couple of my cousins were there too. She is the one who is in an assisted living home right now.
Now, hubby & I are leaving in a little while to see our Grandson playing baseball! :)
Beakers have a nice evening.

EAGLES How far are you from the San Diego Zoo? If I were your brother in law I would walk to that gorgeous beach every day LOL
How nice a day to take Mom to Sis's b-day. Some catching up with family too. Enjoy the ball game ;D
Don't know if anyone had a chance to see on NatGeo the 3 part episode " Secrets of the Octopus" What a mind blowing show. How they photograph some of this stuff is amazing.

Good evening! Beautiful flowers posted today! Thanks! Love the blue/purple color! Some Lobelia varieties are just like that! Also, a blub flower, the name escapes me but a vatiety of a lily! Just read that my wave petunias will live for e years!
Tig, thanks for the info on the Baltimore Harbor!
Clynn, thanks for Bennys picture of Mom D and DM2! Most impressed with the tremendous size of the nest!
Had a busy day, doing not much but will wish all seds and sign off!

Ooh how pretty....great find!
Reminds me I used to stop in to a Venice Beach improv jazz club and loved it.

kb everybody ok there and their habitats?
I know the 1 on the corner not so good.
House next to you goes gas leak BOOM leveled .. very close .. minor damage right next door minimal ?
BLESSED.
Gas House Explosion 2 doors down once imploded most of our windows glass as we were taking tea and crumpets.
Pip and I's scars.
I'm amazed and so happy that your neighbors house so close went relatively unscathed.

CLYNN- a pretty purple theme today---all that lavender ; John Lennon if only ;) I did some searching on the wind chime I posted last
night and here's what I found https://i.pinimg.com/736x/83/74/0d/83740d206e3887dfa85105463a37e696.jpg (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/83/74/0d/83740d206e3887dfa85105463a37e696.jpg)

evidentially there are several versions. Many t hanks for posting/sharing Benny Bruhling 's Decorah Eagles update w/ great photo
TSK- you're in the pink this AM---as you said purples and pinks today; tks to you/CLynn for y our comments of encouragement on Dad's
passing
TIG-tks for the video on 'tug war horses' Baltimore Bridge aftermath. It was interesting; I Googled 'The Long Game' and I think this is one
Jim and I would find most interesting as you and Camper. Thanks ---another we'll add to our list of "Must Watch"
LISA- April's all but gone. And, we're still drinking hot cocoa---I was just commenting to Jim that we've not had any in a while and needed some ;)
HI T40 - easy to agree by all us that 'birdwatch' and do 'birding' like Jim and I with our bluebirds---the Bruhlings are invaluable .
HEY EAGLES- how did your grandson's game end? YOu know if I lived near that beach I'd be walking it's shores--
BL- I've heard Les Paul---tks for the Dickey Betts at Iridium Jazz Club-- ;)
Lots of questions raised about that house that exploded. My understanding that a house sale can't close unless there's hazard insurance AKA homeowner's
insurance , provided by new owners --- required to satisfy the lienholder

Hi Puff, Karen, Lisa, T40
Phyl, sweet dawn chorus on nature video... beautiful felted eagle... Hot cocoa and Jim is a nice ending to the day.
Clynn, I hope you can find a solution to wearing a patch while driving.... wonderful photo of Decorah mom, DM2 and their babies! That is great news! I think it's been a couple of years since they've had eaglets! What a blessing! ;D :-*
Tig, very ;D video on the vessels working in the Baltimore Harbor around the bridge collapse.
Eagles, good luck to your grandson and baseball team! I miss my sister and being able to watch her grandchildren's activities. My nieces and nephews. It's nice to have family nearby as you do.
Kb, cute smart dog... glad Dennis and Vi will be okay.
Tsk, We'll check out that NatGeo doc. Thanks for suggestion.
BL, thanks for the music 8)

All quiet now on the midwestern front.
I did want to ask you though. It may be common sense but watching that house burn for over 2 hours with multiple fire agencies attacking it was something I won't forget.
I assume a gas fueled fire burns differently than a wooden only fire?
When I first got there, less than 5 minutes after the huge "boom" the gas meter outside the home was on fire as well as that side of the house...The large window was gone in front as well as what looked like huge structural movement of the building. The main explosion from what I see came from the basement. We don't know yet, investigation ongoing, but I therefore assume the furnace or water heater was the culprit.
Hard to believe how long they took to just keep it from spreading to other homes and watch each side of the house collapse.
Was something to behold and I won't ever forget it...and then 30 minutes or more after the house being attacked by firemen the shed started in our block's back yard..I saw what looked like either a secondary explosion (5 minutes after original) or from the original throwing something hot in the back yards but didn't flame up at first.
That's when we were all told to leave our homes immediately. I had enough time to put on my shoes and collar Ollie man and she said I could not back out my car and put Ollie in it. Had to stand across the street till they got that one out. The sheriffs went house by house with their order.
Shed was only wood but did have a lawn mower inside but I think it's battery powered only. But, that fire was put out in relation to the house much quicker.

Health related:
I had my 6 month skin cancer appointment scheduled from 6 months ago at the time we were ordered out of our homes.
When I called to re-schedule and spoke with a young woman, I really was disappointed they can't accomodate that kind of emergency and wouldn't fit me in till late June!
Surely our health care system can do much much better. They better not try to charge me for a missed appointment. I explained it all and heard no concern/compassion out of that young woman at all.

Announcing – The Philippine Eagle Cam!
April 23, 2024 RaptorResource
https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/23/announcing-the-philippine-eagle-cam/ (https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/23/announcing-the-philippine-eagle-cam/)
We are thrilled to announce that the Philippine Eagle cam is online here: https://www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/transfer-breeding-eagles-now and here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/philippine-eagle-cam/ and here! https://explore.org/livecams/raptor-resource-project/philippine-eagles
The Raptor Resource Project has partnered with the Philippine Eagle Foundation and Explore.org to bring bird lovers a live 24×7 stream of Ariela and MVP, a mated pair of Philippine Eagles who live at the National Bird Breeding Sanctuary (NBBS) in Barangay Eden, in the Philippines. The Philippine Eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. Unfortunately, it is also among the world’s most critically endangered species, with just 90-250 pairs of eagles remaining in the wild. Ariel and MVP’s home is off-limits to tourists, but we invite everyone to visit them online and help collect observations about their behavior, including courtship, copulation, and – talons crossed! – egg and offspring care.

PHYL Today is our hot cocoa day for sure. In the 40's all day with a wind chill in the 30s.. I washed my winder jacket yesterday LOL
Love that AM fabric? owl. I think it may be paper mache based on Google search. What great news on the Philippine eagle cam!
KB I have noticed in recent years how difficult it is now to get regular yearly or the like doc appts and never mind if you are a new patient. That could be months out! AND we live in big cities. :o

Lani, cute little good night fox, I can't quite tell who is sitting with him looking at the moon! A squirrel? I do hope Benny or Sue can get pictures of Mom Decorah and family when they can! It will be nice to see them with eaglets again!
Phyl, thanks for the info on the stained glass wind chime, I will certainly check into it! Hope all are well in your family! Love listening to the cuckoo! 68 for our high today. Picture for Maggie:

Thanks for Amy's Blog, WOW, a cam on the Philippine Eagle's nest! And for the Disney info!
karen, I love lobelia and the colors it comes in! When I used to do the English Garden theme in my front flower bed I had all colors of lobelia along all the outside edges... don't know if you can tell in this picture...

tsk, I saw the previews of the Nat Geo program on the octopus and it looked very intriguing! Nature sometimes makes one wonder what kind of a mood God was in when he created some of the strange creatures on this earth! Ed is on week 3 of STD due to an impingement in his neck (the bicycle crash about 25 years ago). He did something that really aggravated it and has been in pain! His new doctor has prescribed P/T along with some pain meds, muscle relaxers, hot patches, etc. I suggested P/T years ago but his doctor then told him it wouldn't help, so nada. I think I will be proven right. We are seeing the same here, doctor appointments are being scheduled way farther out than they used to be! Called in Sept, got a Dec appointment. That was re-scheduled by the doctor to February.
E4E, what a beautiful beach, I love it... This is the beach at Oceanside, OR where Becky and Jennifer have a vacation home:

some bounce
I overslept this a.m. I'll do some exercises here and some yard werk.
We had been scheduled to go up north for a couple days this week (a delayed bday treat). I called to cancel last week after getting my heart monitor and realizing there would be no cell phone coverage during the drive up/back. The resort owner was sympathetic (and we rescheduled for the Fall) but said there won't be much he could do if our reserved time doesn't rent. He explained... there was a couple who kept cancelling... their "grandma" died 4 times over a couple years! LOL. I understand his POV but we may be taking a hit $$.
KB - I wondered about the insurance too; and the cash payment for the home. An interesting back story, I'm sure.
Our Timberwolves pulled off a great win last night (sorry Mike/Lani), and our Twins had a win in the bottom of the 9th!
Great news on the new eagle cam!!!
TTFN

Hump - tig We lost to you last night. So sad. The Bears, Bulls, Sox are all some sad teams. Yesterday 1 run loss in the ninth. So Sad!
Not only was the monitor a bad birthday present, now you have to wait for a getaway. Maybe for Campers while your waiting for the later date for you; that way you'd have 2?

Puff/TSK... sorry, forgot we played the "lowly" Sox. Have hope. We are not that much better so far! :o
Yup, Camper said he could go alone. Um. Nope. No thank you. I would be a wreck wondering if he would remember all the little things traveling involves, at this age. ETC.
TTFN
-
Clynn, the English Garden along your front walk is lovely! Yes, I can see the lobelia! What is there now?
I think the tube of marigolds is what. Was on Tigs yard! Wish it was so easy!
Tig, wonder if you and Camper would benefit from a travel insurance policy. I know folks buy them for specific trips but I have never heard on one that that would cover the many trips you and Camper take a year!
Lisa, how is your fresh hair do
today? Used to get my hair frosted and loved it! Now it is a natural job! Lol.

I got a text from the guy at the resort. He was able to rent Friday night. Then, he asked the folks that were staying in "our" cabin Sun - Wed if they would include Thur. nite at a discount. They agreed. So we will end up paying a bit for Thur. plus tax plus 3.5% credit card fee. Grr. I would have paid by check, had we gone.
Anyway... it was nice of him to try extra to fill it for us. I sent him a reply saying so and that I think this may have happened for a reason. Just don't know what it is. Yet.

EAGLES How far are you from the San Diego Zoo? If I were your brother in law I would walk to that gorgeous beach every day LOL

Don't know if anyone had a chance to see on NatGeo the 3 part episode " Secrets of the Octopus" What a mind blowing show. How they photograph some of this stuff is amazing.
TSK, I watched that 3-episode series on "Secrets of the Octopus" on Nat Geo a couple of nights ago. It was DA BOMB!!! The octopus is one of my all-time favorite marine animals!! They are sooo smart! I have been learning about them over the years, and they command my total respect!! I'm so glad I caught that special series on them - it was fabulous, and I learned a lot more about them!! I noticed that 3-episode series will also be airing on Hulu and somewhere else, I'm trying to remember - perhaps Netflix, but maybe it was some other streaming service. Anyway, it was really incredible. I highly recommend it to any interested people who missed it - it would be worth finding a place to view it - even if online. I watched part of it twice!

Royal Albatross news!
Top Flat chick is 90 days old and weighs 7.4 kg. He was fed by LGL at 1042. The average weight for a male of this age is 7.32 kg. He was not weighed last week due to nervousness following the cam swap and had just been fed by LGK.
Top Flat Track chick is 82 days old and weighs 6.2 kg. Last week he weighed 6.4 kg, but he is in a healthy weight range and has been fed by both WYL and BOK since weighing.
Top Weight: Usually, the Observation Post chick takes out the top weight. Today he was 7.4kg, the same weight as Top Flat chick and the top weight went to Gun Pit Flat chick who was 8.4kg

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Eagles, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!
Kb, sorry about your appt., it happens here as well. Whether you're sick at the day of appt or family emergency it's at least 8 weeks or longer until you can get in. If you need to get in sooner for an emergency, they send you to Urgent Care or Emergency Room.
Phyl, cute owl ;D ... and there's the sweet Cuckoo :-* ... wonderful news about the Philippine Eagle Cam. It's a magnificent creature in a beautiful country. Great to see a thread too. .. Thanks for Disney articles, I'll read later. :)
Tsk, I tried to find a new GP here in Payson, it's a 6 - 9 mo wait for a new patient. And consider Payson population is 5800+, but they also deal with the surroundings small towns and off the grid population... So, if we have an emergency we go to Urgent Care or Emergency Room. I'd love to move my yearly appts up here. Anyway, in September I'll make an appt for my yearly checkup with a new Dr. in Payson. I want to be prepared if someday Mike can't make that drive down to the valley.
Clynn, Sorry to hear Ed is continuing to have pain and discomfort. :( Sending prayers for him..... beautiful spring orange colors... sitting next to fox, is mate and kit. ;D ... sweet pics of the S & S :-* ... I love lobelia too. Love your beautiful English Garden. :-*
{{{Tig}}} glad you were able to get your rental costs worked out.. ;D.... Congrats on game!
Hi Puff, Karen, Eagles, Baz ;D
Mike will be returning from Gila Bend today.
Hopefully he will be able to get an allergy shot before he returns.
The pollen from the Junipers and the smoke from the controlled forest fires are bothersome for all.
Take care Everyone! :-*
-
HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! :)

A lot of home purchases are all cash these days - it's how some people have been getting their offers accepted over other offers during the tight housing market. All cash offers don't have to meet many of the mortgage banking/loan requirements, such as insurance... the bank doesn't put a lien on a title for a home bought with all cash since it is bought in full outright by the new owner.
Clynn, I love that pic of the kittens! :-* Are they pretty much inseparable? It sounds like they and Harley all got along okay while you were away. Hate you have to go through the separate feeding routine. I know someone who has to do that with their cats. I hope Ed gets some relief with the multi-prong treatment approach. I have to ask, LOL, what you mean in your post by STD - it's always stood for "sexually transmitted disease" in my medical abbreviations mind. LOL, I'm certain that isn't what it means in your post! ;D
E4E, glad you all could get together for your aunt's birthday! Happy Birthday to your Aunt! :D
Phyl, I love that papier-mâché owl!
Lani, that's an great report on the Albie chicks' weights! Love the picture - lucky people who work with them, and lucky for the Albies! Thanks for sharing! :-* Glad to hear Mike returns home today, and fingers crossed also after getting an allergy shot, and hope he gets some relief.
Take care, All! :)
-
Baz - I know. But this one appears to have been a cover for a business....and we don't know how this couple paid cash for it...we've looked at the hennepin county records for who owns it. And know who. 7 or more people lived there or came and went. And maybe nobody lived there permanently.
Appears to be a potential location for multiple labor workers..and then for Grandma.
That is not the point, however, other than no insurance means no recovery.
The point is why did the gas cause a house implosion? And then what wlll happen to our neighborhood?
-
CLYNN Sam and Sophie are really getting big!!! I can't get lobelia to grow in the ground - I always have to pot it. STD? ( See BAZI's comment) LOL Sounds like Ed is on a good regimen. Oceanside - Gorgeous. Between Becky and Jennifer's home - vacation home - and all the weeks at your Mom's, they keep busy!!! Bingham mine - mindboggling the size of it.
TIG Too bad for sure. For as often as you guys go to this place I'm surprised he's going to make you pay full price for cancelling. Reading on I see that he was able to get some renters - and like you say " it happened for a reason".
BAZI So glad you had a chance to watch the "Secrets"... Great that folks are studying and learning about these amazing creatures who maybe have still a lot more to tell us. That is how we sold our Door County place. We had 3 offers and took the cash offer!
LANI Gun Pit FLat baby is a real tubby LOL In this day and age we have to be so proactive about healthcare...Mike had a few days rest at home and now returning but maybe in Gila Bend there is less allergy discomfort when he is there?

Aaaas! Pretty pink sweater! Lolol what is with the hair sticking up? Such a pretty baby! Did she eat with you?
The eyes are fabulous!
I have to say that between the stds and kbs house that is a cover for a business, this old lady is turning bright pink! Lolol.
The blue flower I was trying ti think of the other day is Agapanthus! Most of you would have to dig it up to overwinter! May try to find some!

karen - That pony on top of her head is all of her bangs. They don't want to cut her hair yet, but it is constantly in her eyes, so they put it up. Yea, Sydney went to lunch with Bradley and I. She loved the applesauce we ordered for her.

Lisa, Sydney is a real Cutie Patutie, love, love, love those beautiful eyes! That's exactly how our Sydney did Bella's hair when she was that age! I bet you had a wonderful lunch with the two of them! We are watching Talon and Bella Friday night so Erin and Sydney can to out with friends. I am getting 'prizes' ready!
tsk, yes, Sam and Sophie are getting big! She is the little trouble maker, always getting into things. We need to make some barriers in a couple of places on the deck. She climbs the screen to the top and can't get down. Ed has had to rescue her several times! Becky told me today that one of Jennifer's childhood friends who now lives in Germany has to have open heart surgery and he dearly wants for Jennifer to be there and stay for a while after to make sure he is doing well. I am sure she will go.
Sorry to confuse folks, STD in the business/financial world of health care is Short Term Disability (vs. LTD which is Long Term Disability). No sexual cooties here! LOLOL!
tsk, there are plants that I can't grow either. Petunias is one of them! My Aunt Linda can put 5 plants in her dry old window flower bed and they grow crazy. Not me.
baz, yes, the kittens are together a lot but once in a while they are on their own. Yes, a lot of cash offers happen on housing purchases, but it's pretty foolish not to have homeowner's insurance! If paying cash, you don't even have to have the bank or mortgage company involved unless the seller still has a mortgage on the property. Did you get to walk today?
Lani, thanks for the Alby updates, the babies are getting big! I do hope Mike can get his allergy shot on the way home!
karen, I am not sure what is planted in the sidewalk garden, I had help planting last year. I do see something coming up. Not sure what I will do this year. The hostas in the front garden are all coming up! We have three Rose of Sharon plants in one corner of the back yard. By the end of summer there were sprouts coming up all over, a couple hundred of them! I thought they would die off in the winter, we did have some very cold snaps. I looked at them this morning, they are all getting green buds on them!

LISA Happy to see some nice quality time with your son and Sidney - God blessed her with those beautiful eyes
CLYNN Wow. Jennifer to Germany for a while - what a friend indeed. Prayers for her friend. :-* PHEW Now we know what STD is LOL I should look into a Rose of Sharon...I have an empty space - part sun.. Margaret Seaman has a brain like no other to be able to knit that and many beautiful creations which I'm sure are from scratch.. Awesome. What a legacy.

Clynn, that knitting is amazing! Perhaps nr could start this with a scape of wf and the osprey nest! Wow, this lady is something! I would like to see some of the Royal family buy a few pieces to display!
Sydneys eyes are caltivating!

Tig- Went back to your link and watched the 'Baltimore' vid - very interesting - thank you.
Tsk- We are approx 8 hrs drive away from San Diego. We've been to San Diego twice, but did not go to the Zoo. We visited our Son when he was stationed there for a while when he was in the USMC! We enjoyed our Grandson's baseball game yesterday evening, and they won!
Phyl- Our Grandson's team won yesterday, the score was something like 18 - 5, but I don't remember the exact score. He has another game tomorrow (Thursday)! We will dress warmer for this one! Lol! It really is fun to be out there with the group we sit with!
Lani- Yes, it would be nice if your sister was nearby and you could go watch her Grandkids play sports! It is fun watching the kids! ;D Hopefully Mike home now from Gila Bend! :) Good luck in finding a new GP in Payson - hopefully you won't have to wait months to see a new doctor. {{Lani}}
Kb- So sad that the office customer svc rep couldn't show some sort of compassion to you for having to reschedule your appt due to the emergency situation in your neighborhood. :( Maybe you can call them periodically in the mornings and ask if anyone has cancelled their appointment and then maybe you can take it!
Clynn- Beautiful beach in Oceanside, OR! Love the white sandy beach. Looks perfect for those kids to be playing! S & S are getting so big - seems like it happened so quickly! :)
Tig- That place you just rescheduled with should be refunding your reservation as it sounds like you were calling at least a few days ahead of time. I don't even think it should matter what your reason for cancelling/rescheduling was! :( Hopefully they do the fair/right thing for you. {{Tig}} Okay, I just read your update on your reservation. I have not heard of a place handling things in that manner. :(
Baz- Thank you and yes, we all enjoyed visiting my Aunt yesterday for a couple of hours for her 91st birthday!
LisaG- Cute sweet pics of Sydney!! So happy for you in going to lunch with your Son and Granddaughter!! Bet you had a wonderful day!!
Beakers have a good night. :)

TSK- that is a fabric owl this morning. Pretty cardinals today.
CLYNN-tube of paint, pretty cool garden decor and clever use of marigolds, I almost used that one this morning.
Maggie saying S and S are a cute pair, thanks. Your front garden is lovely, imagine that's a lot of work.
Was hoping Ed had some relief in his shoulder by now.
Many moons ago---I did some pier fishing at Oceanside. OMG! Largest hole in the world.
TIG- nice for you getting the rental costs worked out
BAZ- fabric owl this AM, one can see the stitching upon scrutiny
LANI- tks for the update on the Royal Albie chicks, OP chick takes the top weight slot. GPF chick is plump. Nice snap of chicks and ranger. Hope Mike
can get some effective relief from his Juniper allergies
LISA- darling snaps of Sydney; no doubt having lunch with her and Bradley was loads of fun and such a treat for you to spend
time with Bradley /Sydney.
KAREN- got me with some of those plant names.
CLYNN- sounds Talon and Bella will have lots of fun w/you & Ed Friday night; you really plan their activities well
Just fabulous knitting by Margaret Seaman. That was a great article in BBC news Norwich. More awesome photos
of her workmanship. Thanks for sharing--really enjoyed.
LOL thought you had me fooled with the STD ;D
Prayers at our home alter for Jennifer's friend and safe journey for Jennifer
HI EAGLES- congrats to your grandson on his team's victory. I enjoy the live in person games too. Always nice to spend time
with one's family---glad you could do that with your aunt.

E4E... Hi. Most places on the north shore have a very strict policy and it is clearly stated on their website. We usually get travel insurance if we go for an extended period of time or spend more money, like for a cruise. I suppose I could have begged him to allow me to mail a check, but I doubt he would accept.
Hugs

Tsk, Gila Bend is very dry and warmer than Payson. No allergy problems there for Mike. He got his shot and is home. I'm sure it will help.
{{{Lisa}}} so happy for you to be able to meet Bradley and your sweet Sydney for lunch. Now, I know you told us the color of her eyes. But, those eyes just take you in!
Clynn, Jennifer's a good friend to help care for friend in Germany. Sending prayers for her friend.... It'll be a great TGIF for you this Friday!
Eagles, so far it's a six month wait to see a new doctor here.... I send many birthday wishes to your Aunt. 91 years old,
Phyl, beautiful moon.
Good night!

Lani, glad Mike was able to get his allergy shot! How long is the pollen thick in the air in Payson? Love the baby and kitty sleeping... I woke up this morning and Sam and Sophie were together asleep next to me. Usually it's just Sam and Sophie is somewhere else on the bed!
Phyl, very interesting picture of the earth in the shadow of the moon! How are things going for you and Jim and, of course, Miss Maggie? Erin is coming over tomorrow after work to mow our lawn, it is getting shaggy looking. ::) ::) What a great video of the Philippine eaglet! Thank you for posting it! The Trempealeau eaglets are looking, and we were all worried! Love the video of the North kids and their synchronized looking at all the things going on around them! Tiny Chicklets, I remember those! One of my favorites:

tsk, I think you would like the Rose of Sharon! It gets pretty tall, and I think it does better with some shade, not full sun all day... The flowers are beautiful!
E4E, I think beaches are beautiful, I would love to go to sleep listening to the sound of the waves. Years ago I was at a convention at Amelia Island in FL, I woke up thinking it was storming. It was the waves! We were in condos like these, very close to the water...

EAGLES I see, that would have to be an overnight if you took in the San Diego Zoo. Maybe one day. ???
LANI That's what I thought. When you were living in the desert he probably felt better as well. ;) Glad he was able to get the shot. Gorgeous cat with baby last night.
PHYL I suspect the gum machine is a bank?? LOL Thanks for Amy's blog on the N2B nest gosling jumpers - or not. Wonder how many times that happens? Toddler walk for D17 across the nest. LOL Beautiful closeup of those pin feathers. Don't think I have ever seen a grouse in the trees :o 365 Neil Rettig is involved with the Philippine eagle project and maybe that is how RRP got the camera connection to the nest?
CLYNN What a great idea for a wind chime - I have a whole box of "questionable" keys LOL I took a picture of it. So S&S will be bed sleepers. LOL Lulu doesn't bed sleep much any more. I'm going to look into the Rose of Sharon at the nursery when it is time to go there. I've always thought Amelia island would be a good place to go for a vacation. Would you go back there? Wish Mr Handsome would fight for Iris. :(

Made me think, Lani - does Mike have a problem in the Midwest with allergies? like with deciduous trees, grasses, weeds etc.? or is it just the Junipers in your area?
Continuing to prepare for 4 days of rain in a row..we lost our drought category a while back and don't see it returning anytime soon LOL, even with very little snow.
Fertilized, grass seeded, gardened etc. all day yesterday, now am mostly ready. Taking Ollie out for his last walk for a few pretty soon.
Been consoling Dennis and Vi as well daily. They still don't have their land line..for being 87 and not in good health I hope that changes soon.

Baz - I know. But this one appears to have been a cover for a business....and we don't know how this couple paid cash for it...we've looked at the hennepin county records for who owns it. And know who. 7 or more people lived there or came and went. And maybe nobody lived there permanently.
Appears to be a potential location for multiple labor workers..and then for Grandma.
That is not the point, however, other than no insurance means no recovery.
The point is why did the gas cause a house implosion? And then what wlll happen to our neighborhood?
KB, I wasn't speaking specifically to your previous posts about that house. Other people posted here about understanding that homes require insurance coverage, and I was responding purely about some instances when home insurance isn't required with a home sale. I was not talking anything in particular about your nearby exploded house neighbors, or why or how they paid cash, or why or how they use their home. I only was mentioning instances where insurance is not required with a home sale. Have a good day.

No problem, I guessed as much.
What I just shook my head at was why someone? would pay cash for a house and not Immediately protect it with home insurance....I still can't fathom that one. I know they weren't required to.
Occasionally I have heard in the past of people mistakenly not being able to afford it and end with dire consequences across the country
Just blows my mind not to protect an investment like that.

I know they are going to have lots of fun there! LOL on the cat getting stuck at the top of the screen... makes me think of that old saying, "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?" ;) ;) ;D But I understand how "sticky" their nails can get in screens, especially kittens' nails... can't help but wonder how long they would hang up their and meow for rescue till they figured out how to either turn around or back down. Glad Ed was there for the rescue! :D :-* I agree it's foolish not to have home insurance. Prayers for Jennifer's friend in Germany. That's so nice of her to travel and stay there to help and support him.

I got to watch my boyfriend play tennis today. :-* :-* I feel better now. ;) :D He was playing in the Madrid Open, a clay court warm-up tournament before the French Open.
Some info for those who want to watch...
The French Open (at Roland Garros, in Paris) is the 2nd tennis major of the year - Qualifying Play starts May 20th, and 1st Round Match Play starts May 26th this year, I believe.
French Open:

This year, the French Open will be only 2 months before the Summer Olympics, also in Paris, with Tennis on its schedule, of course.

Tsk, Clynn, Kb Pollen hangs around for about 3 to 4 weeks.... here's a video, this is in Prescott, but it happens everywhere north of the valley, like Payson, Sedona, Flagstaff, etc.
Pollen Explosion in Prescott
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDIRTigwYFs
"Spring brings the pollen from many plants. In Prescott, AZ, we have an abundance of Juniper trees. Their pollen builds up so heavily that at some point something has to give. The weight of the pollen drops from one branch hits another branch and the trees seem to explode! I had seen this many times, and when I saw it this time, I had my phone in hand and started filming the explosion of the pollen from the trees. This was in the morning and there was no wind involved here, just the tree itself shedding the pollen all over the area. Nearby cars ended up having a layer of yellow pollen covering the vehicle and people's allergies are so bad that everyone is taking medicines of some type and have become friends with tissues."

Audacity: according to Chat, she's been on the nest and having a rough time with all the high winds common to the
channel. Some owl attacks lately. It's a 'mystery' why she's been there as no egg after the 2nd disaster last month or so.

BL, every time I see the mention of Billy Gibbons I think of him on the tv show Bones. https://bones.fandom.com/wiki/Billy_Gibbons I am glad you all decided to freeze upon encountering the bobcat!
Lani, oh my, that pollen explosion is something else! I can see why it would really cause grief to someone allergic to pollen! It looks like thick smoke! Harley sleeps downstairs in the Mole Hole most of the time, that is where Ed works and piles his stuff up. I won't let the kittens into the basement yet, too many places for them to get lost! I am also hoping beyond hope that Iris will accept this sweet new guy! It would be wonderful to have babies in the nest again...
baz, glad you got to watch your boyfriend play tennis!
Phyl, I wonder if that wave sound would help Ed sleep. I He usually won't try anything... Very relaxing 365 this morning! The Nut House! LOLOL! 54 right now and raining, 64 the high today with rain and thunderstorms likely. Some may be severe, winds 20-30 mph. Windy...strong thunderstorms during the evening will give way to partly cloudy skies after midnight. Damaging winds, large hail and possibly a tornado with some storms.
Peaceful Flyway sunrise, love those North kids. They are at that funny looking stage! Interesting about the Shakespeare influence on our words! I wish the Sauces eagles would find a new place for their nest, away from whatever is contaminated where they are...
E4E, hope your Grandson had a winning game last night!
tsk, there is no telling what Bella will be up to tonight! Painting, Play-Doh, nail painting, Barbies, baby dolls, stickers, and more...still a bit chilly to play outside and it will be raining anyway. I will get some pictures!
Lisa, Bella's pacifier was just like Sydney's! Here she is about the same age as Sydney:

Had no idea. Feel bad for all those who suffer because of it. :( Hope the meeting is productive. ;) Food sounds yummy :)
BL Hope you were in the house when the bobcat appeared. What might be the reason you are seeing them more often?

Sheriff's view right after explosion...I never saw this as emergency vehicles prevented us from that corner of the house. The woman was still inside a yelling for help. their body cam video shows them knocking down the front door blocked with debris and removing her.
Yah!...a huge dump truck just backed into not what's left of this house (nothing but debris) but my neighbor's Maureen and Jim one house between us.
They are removing their burnt out shed right now!...I don't have to look and be reminded every time I walk through my dining room after removed
Early am sunrise in advance of our days of rain.
Stay safe out there as this front moves north and east.

some bounce
Good morning everyone. Thank you for the bird pics. Yay Iris! Okay, I woke up early this morning and checked the weather radar and made some calculations. I got moving, got to the pool and worked out hard, showered and went to Caribou for which I had a gift card, and made it home. As I was walking up the sidewalk the raindrops were following me. LOL. Great calculations Tig
Now to watch some tennis and the basketball game tonight.
I see you BAZ!!! :)

Decorah North Eagles - April 25, 2024
Those were good pics, Clynn.....this was at the end though after they'd fought the fire for around 2 hours. You can see that back hoe on Dennis and Vi's yard and after they brought it down the junk is maybe a foot away from their house.
Also, reporters: The house exploded first....then the fire. When I walked up there within 5 minutes the outside gas meter was on fire. They said they don't know what caused the fire. No they do. They don't know why the house exploded however...Not sure we will ever be told why. I don't like that as any homeowner could learn from the reason for prevention sake.

https://kstp.com/kstp-news/local-news/bodycam-video-shows-deputies-run-toward-home-after-explosion-in-richfield/
this one is more accurate with video of the worn body cams of the 2 sheriffs who first entered the home.
He says: The kitchen and living room were in the front yard and all the walls were unstable.
This was just minutes before I arrived.
That female deputy is who went door to door asking us all to leave our homes immediately after the secondary fire in back yard
-
KB Was that a glimpse of you at the end of the news clip talking to a couple people?
Yep - gone. No fixing that up. Can't fathom not having bought some kind of insurance. Old mistake some make "nothing will happen . . . . ." So Sad.
Neighbors behind me and one house over had a house fire about 3 or 4 months ago. It didn't look total - but they haven't moved back in, haven't even been seen, no work, windows boarded up though. Lady said it isn't that bad - she only can say that because it's not her house. There was plenty of smoke and at least an hour for FD to get it stopped. Lot of windows broken out, still boarded. Neighbor right next to me, who husband talked to them, said they suspected something with the newly installed solar panels. That house was erected before mine, one of the first in our development, I moved in 1971. They bought house in 2020.

Puff - I didn't see myself...I'm a blonde. I was there however off and on.
Frankly, the news folks didn't show up until the end..that's about the time I disappeared other than consoling Dennis and Vi.

The Iceland volcano is still active and no end in sight. Concern is that ground upheaval is reaching the point that previously resulted in a new eruption - question comes, will it start a new outbreak before the current one ends?

{{{Clynn}}} Relieved to read the heavy storms passed over you.... you all take care and be safe.... Finally having a nice rain storm. That will help wash the pollen dust away... sweet baby Bella... oh poor little Armadillo babies... sad to read the male osprey is Louis... oh no a fishing line :'(
Tsk, it's hard to keep the fine pollen dust out of the house. We keep the doors and windows shut even though the weather is nice. It's raining tonight, hopefully, this will help get rid of the pollen... it was a good meeting.
Kb, The video of the home explosion and photos showed an almost flattened home. Grandma was very lucky, and so were your neighbors.
Hi Lisa, Puff, Karen I hope you all had a good day.
Oldguy, thanks for links... terrible tornado damages in Nebraska and Iowa.... take care and be safe.
Lori, sending hugs and prayers for you, Destini and family take care and be safe. :-*

Bob at St. Martin's in the Field
Good Morning Everyone. Happy Caturday...
Currently: 38F clear with a High 74F sunny, Low 38F
We had a touch of rain Thursday night nothing to 'write home about'. Humid/sunny is in our forecast
Been following the weather for Nebraska and Iowa---certainly been praying and hoping for better outcome---(((CLYNN, LORI, OG AND ALL))) in that area do take care and please be safe.
OG- always enjoy the Q-Kids- thanks for the Minion / links
Thanks for the recipe LANI---glad it was a good meeting; had no idea spruce produced pollen like that.
LORI thanks for the good wishes for Friday and entire weekend. Do take take, I'm sure Destini is staying close to you.
EVERYONE- wishing you a happy weekend
Cute 'Good Nights' CLYNN/LANI
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Mornin' Lani. Your pollen shot was really an eye opener. WOW. I'm sure you have issues during the season just keeping it out of the house. Even worse that Mike has to live through it. I also wonder how many of the retirees, as an aging process, have moved to that area for retirement. They really have to be forewarned. The video also shows what is hard to image.
Then too, how about all those tornadoes, BIG tornadoes. Hopefully they blew mostly over fields and not over homes/barns/businesses. From Fox weather this morning they quoted either 57 or 97 (?) reports. Eeeeek. Today's prediction is more of the same.
Sad mention also this morning on FNC of those who are having to accept not having a much deserved college graduation ceremony and celebration. They likewise 4 years ago were denied the high school graduation festivities because of the start of CoVid. SO SAD. I'm sure the family and friends gave them some kudos and fun. But still not the big achievement taking the limelight.
Good day for Lani and all. Enjoy the weekend.

Good Morning Beakers! It's Caturday!

Phyl, haunting 365 this morning. The eagle owl looks like an owl to me! Amy's Blog, glad they are watching the situation and good to know they will act if they absolutely need to. 58now, 74 high today with rain and thunderstorms, especially tonight. And there's Bob!
Lani, glad to hear you got a good rain and that it will help clear up all that pollen! Mike will have a better weekend! I was also so disappointed when I read that Dr. Green confirmed Iris'suitor as Louis... we had a very heavy, windy rain pass through last night after I had been asleep a while, and I think the siren went off again. Or was I dreaming? I gathered Sam and Sophie up and put them in their little tent to take them downstairs when we went to the Mole Hole earlier, when the kids were here. They didn't like it much!
karen, I think Pink lives in Clarinda, which is in that corner of Iowa that is very close to Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. I couldn't find that any tornadoes touched down there, except for one that was 13 miles away. Hope they are all safe...
oldguy, yes, that rain came somewhere around 11:30 or so, that's when I thought I heard the sirens going off again... All looks okay outside although I haven't been out to check. Wow, you can really see how big the Dali is in the video you posted! I wonder what all is in all those containers!
nr just posted this morning - Good to see they are ok after tornadoes went right over last night. 3 eggs now! (Wells Fargo nest)

So far so good for our Iowans?? Rough day for so many.

Always surprised when I see standing homes next to total devastation down to the foundation.
I usually skip the advertisements before the you tube video starts. On the video from Elkhorn I didn't as it caught my eye. Even though I have fire extinguishers in every room of my house those fire blankets look worth having. On my amazon list. Thanks!

A man noticed that his neighbor’s cats were coming to his property to drink water so he set up a camera to see who else was drinking water...
watch till the end! a total menagerie
and something California should be proud of from the Smithsonian...embedded video of speeded up building. Those crane guys should be making a lot of money. I believe they actually do. A crane operator CEO locally invited Scott once to join his team....um, nope!

Puff, Kb, Tsk, Lisa I find Canadian bacon dry too... the ham adds a nice flavor, also I didn't have fresh green onions, so I used 2 T of dried green onions. I dry my own green onions, as we use it a lot in my butter sauce dishes, especially for Mike's butter sauce that he likes on his broiled halibut. I'm going to dry a couple green onion bunches today. And even though it's easy to make Hollandaise sauce. I do love Knorr's Hollandaise sauce packets. Also, I buy Wolferman's muffins, we've had that discussion here before. LOL!! So please make it with whatever brand you love. I love a thick english muffin when making this casserole, it sets nicely overnight and gives it a nice bread pudding like texture. And I love bread pudding! I don't often make it as Mike doesn't like eggs, casseroles or bread pudding. ;D
Clynn, sending hugs and prayers of thanks that you and family okay after the storms passing. :-*... awww, glad everything is okay at WF osprey nest. :) ... oh Louis :( .... Mike will love the Pecan Pie Cobbler. I'll have to make that for him. Maybe Father's Day. ;D
Phyl, {{{prayers for DN18 and RRP's decisions}}} ... awesome nature vid of Eagle owls. :-*
Oldguy, it's shocking to see the destroyed homes, and then see others okay. :'( Prayers for the life of families and their pets. For the those aiding and helping. :-*
Kb, Love the big bear at the end of the man's cam. But the skunk putting its butt to face the other critters was a funny! LOL! It was interesting to see Fox kits drinking same time as a cat.... The Wildlife crossing is so cool, I wish more state DOTs would adopt this idea.
{{{Lori and Destini}}} So glad you and family are okay.... Happy Caturday to you. Love the Jellybeans, Kristy Kremes and Starbucks! :-*

Taken from our 2nd floor patios off the livingroom/kitchen/Mike's office/bedroom. 3 Juniper trees with yellow mustard seeds still intact after last night's rainstorm. There are more in the front and throughout our area. I was hoping to wash off the patio and outdoor furniture. Remove patio cushions and pillows and clean up today. But, I better wait, just clean up what I can like I do everyday. Sadie's bath and window/screens cleaning will have to wait a couple more weeks too. But, I'm dying to take a water hose to everything. I dust/vacuum daily inside.

Lani - great idea to dry some green onions....I actually have some growing in my front garden that come up every year. I never harvest them, slapping my forehead. I buy them often but find they get "old", moldy quickly and often throw out some.
Do you just hang them upside down until dry and then chop?.
Curious as I have a lot of recipes that prefer green onion and this sounds like a great idea.
We must have posted at the same time!...oh my Lani...that's a lot of work annually.
Got a walk in with Ollie this am between rain drops, Yah!

I didn't know hollandaise was suppose to be hard to make! I just make mine.
Lani Then there's your tumbleweed season for you, too. (forgot name) They're keeping you off the streets and out of trouble. (Newest saying = Keeping you away from the malls and out of trouble.)
There is a new line of English muffins. I'm not sure of your habits or market availability, made by Bays, called Buoche English muffins.

Hi LORI Cute post for Caturday :D Everybody has their jelly beans on ;) ;)
LANI Funny AM cat thief ;D Tim buys the Bays brioche English muffins that are refrigerated. It seems like it will takes weeks for all that pollen to drop. What an ordeal. Lots of extra work for you to do. But it reminds me of when you lived in the desert - The windows were always getting dirty and there was fine sand everywhere LOL Can't win.
PUFF LOLOL Like minds think alike on the Bays brioche muffins ;D ;D

Lani- Watched the lil vid of the Pollen explosion. I've never seen such Pollen before. We sometimes get it quite heavy, but nothing like that! :o No wonder that Mikes needs an Allergy shot every now and then, and I'm sure many other folks too!
I bet your egg casserole and lemon pound cake were very yummy at your meeting yesterday! I've never thought about drying green onions. We use fresh quite a bit!
BL- I would have froze too! :o
Phyl- Thank you for all the fantastic nest cam pics! Thank you for posting the latest on poor lil DN18 this morning. Sure am wishing for all the best for our little guy. Prayers. . . .
Clynn- Our Grandson's team won again Thursday evening! I think he has games again this Tue & Thu evening! Precious pic of Bella so young with her pacifier! Oh no DN18 with fishing line in its mouth :o :o
Hope you and the Munchkins had a fun evening together!! ;D
Tsk- I see you have rain in your forecast. We had just a small amount of rain yesterday. It looks mid-week we are forecast for a warm up - perhaps getting low 70 temps!
Puff- Thanks for mentioning the little gosling! Maybe as you said, there will be later hatchings. :)
Kb- Terrible to see such damage to your neighbor's house. :(
Tig- Good for you in hitting the pool early yesterday :)
Og- Glad you had Friday off to catch up on things for yourself! :) Terrible to see the damage in Minden :o Unbelievable devastation. :o ::)
Lori- Sweet gifs yesterday on Friday and of course love all the great Caturday pics/treats/gifs today! ;D

We will be getting ready to go to a Retirement Party for an old school friend of my hubby's. The event starts at 2:00!

bggolden I'm glad to see you just logged in to the forum.
Everything OK in your area ?
I see there were a heck of a lot of Tornado's in your neck of Iowa yesterday. :o ::)
https://tiny.cc/pt533y
I think Pink Eagle probably made out OK tornado wise in Clarinda, IA ... ?
-
tig - Sounds like you had a nice relaxing day.
Lani - I always buy green onions, and then never use them. Tell me how you dry them, please? Will they keep a while? Oh my, all that pollen.
kb - Glad you got your walk in with Ollie.
Puff & tsk - The Brioche English muffins sound delicious. I am not sure if my grocery carries that brand name.
Two trips to Walmart today is not what I had planned. We are in the process up upgrading all the TV's in our house to Smart TV's, so we can get rid of the cable. I like to watch TV while I am sitting at the computer in the PC room, and we thought that a 24" Smart TV was good enough. We have a 27" flat screen in here now. The 3" inches does make a difference, and I could not see the picture clearly. I took it back, and got me a 32". Much better! :D
-
EAGLES Your cyclers remind me of how PINK used to go riding with her husband. Wonder how she is doing? Fun evening ahead for you :)
LISA Bays brand is refrigerated - so near the cottage cheese, cream cheese, eggs etc. We have 3 very small TV's- kitchen and Tim's bedroom and the office where my PC is. All are 19". But those spaces cannot fit anything much larger. I think the kitchen is fine cuz it 's right where I prepare meals etc - You have seen it..Mostly for backround sound LOL... Once you get used to those big screens, it is hard to go back!!! Hope you enjoy your nice 32 incher
CLYNN Did you have pics from the kids last night?
BAZI I see that your boyfriend won!

some bounce
Well... a little bit of skin irritation (blister) this time, so I relocated the heart monitor patch a bit today. Talons crossed.

So relieved all's better in this area for our Beakers and Pink (hope she and family are well) :)
CLYNN- 'Peace, Love, Cats' in that order 'Cats a great joy in the world' ;) ;)
Thanks for sharing NR's FB post Wells Fargo nest ;) Whoa! Pecan cobbler ---oh my word! Save the recipe.
How was Friday nite w/ Talon & Bella? I know you have snaps. ;D
PUFF- heard all that too on FNC
TSK so sweet Mom cat and kitten :-*
OG- I don't think a mention of lives lost or injuries---many tks for the links on Minden Iowa and Elkhorn, great drone footage and such devastation. Thought a few looked cattywampus on their
foundations Wonderful attitude in Elkhorn amidst their destruction. I have a set of 'fire blankets' too
LORI- many thanks for the Caturday post and all those 'jelly beans' :-* LOL Mixed beans and Black-eyed peas; I'll take a box of KKs for Sunday.
LISA- nice digital of Ginger; Yep better hang on to Lani's recipes for sure
LANI- LOL thief kitty---run, run, run; do you use a food dryer or air dry? ; awesome Eagle Owls ;) ;
don't envy RRP decisions on DN18 prayers continue; I dust/vacuum daily too. Mostly to keep the fur off upholstery , etc. , cant be too careful
with allergies
HI EAGLES ! Oh my word---biker kitties. ;D DN18 ...aren't we all, aren't we all. ;) so nice/thoughtful to have a retirement party
BL- thanks for maps of Tornado reports Neb, Iowa, Mo and Ks, TX
TIG-hope the new monitor local will ease some discomfort for you-as always, here's too good report

tsk we're not really sure.
8 Bobcats in NJ is a cumulative seen in my lifetime in NJ.
A Mother Bob Cat and her two young ones zig-zagging across an early morning woods road wit Daddy.
Counts as 1.
He shot us a standoffish 2 footers glance_ poof forest all gone brief .
100' away Bobcats.
100 percent outside of our four walls.
Kopje and I were doing our camping man business in the pre dawn hours ..
That's when we see the really good outdoor stuff ay' boy ? ;)
Tail A Wagging ' ' ' ... walk ...
A Bobcat would not eat your little toe off if you slept outdoors naked with your little toes dipped in meat. 8)
I would strongly discourage this practice with other wild mammals of the Americas. LOL :o
High country back pack munching Marmots we gotta talk.
Was my favorite beef jerky and leather patched pack .. I will teach you zippers. ;)
Wander off for a few hours to watch a Grizzly Bear eating moths on a talus slope and gheesh. ;D

Kb, Lisa I use a dehydrator, I have an old American Harvest dehydrator. You can dry them in bundles https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-dry-herbs/ or in the oven https://www.wikihow.com/Dry-Herbs-in-the-Oven
Puff, yes, we have Bays too. :)
BL, thanks for maps of tornadoes and Beakers. :)
Lisa, enjoy your new smart tv.
{{{Tig}}} I hope the change will help.... thank you for posting good news about D18 from RRP. YAY! :-*
SED Phyl, I use a dehydrator to dry herbs. In the past when the girls lived at home I made teriyaki beef jerky. I haven't made it in 20 years or more.

TIG How do you know where to put the monitor? Thanks for that great news on north nest Phew!!!
KAREN LOL Don't we wish we could eat like that and not gain an ounce and be as healthy as ever. Moderation is good ;) ;)

Phyl, I am so relieved to hear that DN18 no longer has that awful fishing line attached! Hallelujah is right! I am thinking there was no hook attached to it, thank goodness! Love that picture of the two! 61 here, high 68 today, and off/on rain.
I do have some pictures, Bella with all her Taylor Swift bracelets, Talon's new curly hair-do, and Bella at the Taylor S Birthday Party yesterday!

Lani, I used to make teriyaki beef jerky too! And I dried fruits and flowers for craft projects, I still have little hearts made of an applesauce mixture, coated with cinnamon and dried in the dehydrator! And that was at least 30 years ago! Hope the pollen is beginning to clear! Love the good night cat picture!
BL, I bet you and Kopje see a lot in the morning when you are doing your camping man business!
tsk, looks like rain off and on for a few days here, you will probably have some of the same. Looks like with all that scientists can do that they should be able to come up with some way to remove the calories from all the good stuff!
Lisa, your tv saga! Yes, bigger is better. So they say. :o We moved to a 65" when our 55" died after 3 years. Before that we had a 37" or so, that was the biggest size that would fit in our entertainment center. It died after about 12 or so years and was not a smart tv, so we gave the big oak entertainment center away, got a console and the 55" tv.
E4E, congrats to your grandson and another win! Love the Hell's Angel kitties!
nr FB post- got a snap of the 3 eggs!

some bounce
TSK... "Between this mole and that one." LOL! There is a cardboard template that hangs around your neck with a cutout. And in the booklet it shows examples of where or how much to move the patch if the skin is irritated. It appears my skin is affected only at the 4 small areas where the end of the leads wires are, with tiny extra mounds of plastic (?), not the whole adhesive area which holds the device. I change it every 5 days... two more times before it comes off on the 11th.
Have a good Sunday Beakers. Keep Looking UP
-
clynn Like the new look on Talon. Won't have to worry about combing or any hair out of place. A more grown up/current look.
Well, now I think I'll have to wait to try the EB casserole. Jewel was all out of Bays Brioche muffins. It's either that or use ones from my freezer. To keep that taste and light texture I'd rather use fresh. However, not a dang package on the shelf. (PS Tsk Appreciate the spell check ::) )

tig I was glad to find out that my heads-up on the rash from that monitor can be an issue. I didn't want to worry you. I guess the company finally got the word. I never got such a print instruction. When the patch came off for good I at least had on hand an ointment I use for my eczema. Ahhhhhh - it felt so good.
Enjoy!!!

CLYNN I LOVE Talon's curly hair look. ;D Bella is a "Swifty" at a very young age ;) ;) But I guess that is the trend. Look at all those bracelets :o Who hosted the TS b-day party?? She is so cute. The 3 Amigos..LOL
TIG Thanks for the explanation of monitor placement. The end is in sight!

tig - Ouch, on the blister.
Phyl - Thanks :) Your weather sounds like ours today.
karen - LOL, you ate good today!
Lani - Thanks for the link to the dried herbs. :D
clynn - Jeff says, lets get a 55" for the bedroom. I was like OK, well Misty is scared of it when we turn it on. I think just all the light and the flashing from the pic makes her scared. We are going to put it in the living room, since the room is bigger in there. Love the pics of the munchkins, and love Talon's curly hair! Bella...I am a Swiftie fan, too! ;D I am in the middle of watching the Eras Tour on Disney+

Sad to know Harriet is gone, another tie to one of Horst's favorite nest he brought to the Beak. Remember how close Horst was with Dr Green, who studies both Dunrovin and Hellgate nest. I wish Dr Green could fix what's going on with Iris. :(

LISA Interesting about Misty and the TV. Maybe she would get used to it? What size does that leave you for the bedroom?
LANI I see Archbishop Ruff is making a visit this AM ;) ;D Thanks for the bear video update :) Their new environments are great.

(((Prayers for all in the path of the severe storms and tornado outbreaks.)))
I walked 35 minutes yesterday and 38 minutes today.
The big heavy-duty splint on my hand came off Friday after it was xrayed again. Xray showed the fracture is still there, of course, but healing is happening. It was the best view I have seen of it, and it is a larger break than I had realized. Anyway, that finger is now "buddy taped" to my ring finger with some sliky soft fabric held together with a velcro-like wrap. The hand ortho wants me to start using them. Some improvement - I could pick up an empty coffee cup with my sprained index finger for the 1st time today. Yay! It hurt, but I could hold and lift the empty cup. Progress. ;) I have a 1st appt this coming week with the PT to help with regaining mobiity and strength.
Tsk, yes! I watched my boyfriend win his 2nd round match yesterday! :-* :-*
Tig, I've only been checking in on some matches here and there, and not watching too much right now. I did watch some of the Andreeva match today, as well as some of the Alcaraz match and some of the Fritz match; otherwise, just a little of this and that on other courts. I'm sort of saving up my tennis watching hours for the French Open.
Take care, All. :)

BAZI Thanks for the update on your hand. Good progress!!! Will it be a PT or an OT?
T40 Missed you this weekend ???
Boy, the wind has been something else today. No hair combing needed. Will look like bed hair all day if outdoors LOL
-
tsk - LOL Bed head all day, cause of wind! Misty is ok with the TV when it daylight, but once it gets dark in the room she is scared. We have a 43" flat screen, and I would like something that size, since she is use to that.
baz - Glad you are making some progress with your hand. Good luck with PT this week.
Lani - 42" sounds perfect!
Have to take Jeff's car to dealership in morning for oil change and tire rotation. Will catch up in the morning at some point.
Good night, everyone :)
-
Clynn, love Talons hair! His previous very short do made him look like a miniature Marine! This is a handsome young man look! Tell me, is this a perm or a cut by someone who knew how to bring out the curl? Bella can be tge president of the TS fan club! Glad you kept them safe during the bad weather! One of the reasons I hate those storms when they are forecasted here is the lack of a basement!
83 for a high today and partly cloudy! Temps will be inching up during the week to about 91/with no rain in the forecast for the next ten days!
Happy to read DN 18 no longer has fishing line hanging out! Hope there are no problems going forward.
Nice bear enclosure. How many bears live there? Can they come and go? I am confused as I thought they lived in the wild! Will have to look this up!
Baz, good news on your hand!
Tsk, don’t blow away! Phyl. bL,Eagles, Puff. Tig, waving to you all. Thanks for links! Old Guy, how was cards!

Oldguy, Oh My God! The Train conductor and workers had nerves of steel! They were so lucky the train was picked up or moved off the tracks.... I love this version of Vincent with Don McLean and Home Free. It's brought this beautiful thought provoking song forward. I'm a huge fan... Blue Grass brothers! Where do you find these new young singers. ;D ... still hard to believe the train conductor and workers were okay.
Tig, thank you for posting the Key Bridge Workers Memorial, a beautiful celebration of their life.
Tsk, great idea you posted to Tig about a permanent memorial with artwork included.
{{{Baz}}} glad to hear the heavy duty splint was removed and your hand is improving. The pt will help with continued healing.
SED Lisa :)
Eagles, I'll post my Teriyaki Sauce recipe tomorrow. I received a 1st edition Kauai cookbook published in 1956 as a wedding gift. Now, it's old, pages worn and stained (teriyaki sauce ;D ) I don't have the back cover after all these years.

PHYL Dandelion was a good one yesterday. A field of them would be beautiful and a great haven for bees. 365 Interesting article about the cells in the throat sensing water and acid...Loon - my favorite 365 Thanks for all the nest updates :)
OLDGUY WOW Train with the direct hit. Wonder why it wasn't moving to start with? Almost seems like it could have beat it had it been moving? I'll catch Leslie's story at lunch today. Liked Home Free. Bluegrass brothers - what a talented group of young men ;D Too bad about the 1 tornado death. :(
LANI Sweet baby lambs last night ;)

Lani You made me smile re story of the teriyaki sauce having been used to mark its past. Had a similar occasion in December with my niece Michelle who stopped by while I was in the midst of the cookies. She looked at my "reference" and asked what's that. Only a lot of years and a lot of cookies and a lot of memories. It's now held together, the pieces that is, by a large rubber band.
My first mother-in-law gifted me mine in about 1968. Betty Crocker Cooky Cookbook - in a binder. She had a bound edition from years waaaaaaay back. (Did you notice the spelling - not a mistake that's the way it was named and still is.) Fun part is Michelle - and her husband - have a more recent one they use that she says is like a paperback book. But ya' know what? I think she has her eye of rescuing my edition as I pass away. Poor book fell apart from usage and the stuffing of additional found favorite cookie recipes. Nice to have and open each Christmas. :'(

Phyl, love the pictures of the North nest, the Mama Goose and Newman in the eerie fog... And the even eerier sound of the loons in the 365. Is there an egg on the Philippine Eagles nest or are we waiting patiently? Love the good night picture from last night!
oldguy, wow on that video of the octopus tornado! I would be skedaddling off in the opposite direction! Can't imagine sitting there filming it! The one of the tornado knocking the train off its tracks - WOW again! Thanks for Leslie's video!
Lani, thanks for the Bear Update, everything is looking great... but I miss Ted... Looking forward to your teriyaki recipe, homemade is always better! Sweet sheep...
E4E, glad to hear the Retirement party was a hit! Yes, the picture of Bella with her hand on her hip! She is quite the sassy girl, in a good way, always into something! I am sure she was singing in the picture and that she knew all the words to the song!
karen, here is a picture of Talon and the perm. I wish there was a way to make the hair curl without a perm!

Watching the train/tornado story I wasn't sure that the train was either hit directly or blown over. It really did get a beating at any rate. What I also wondered about was the cute little house setting all alone in the path of the funnel. Noone and nothing else in the area. Hope it made it thru.
The 8 am local news just had the weather person say our rain is over for the day. Whatta y'all think?

Phyl - Thanks for the 365 last evening, and for the pics this morning. We are having the same weather again.
E4E - Sounds like a nice retirement celebration you attended.
oldguy - Wow, the train footage of the tornado.
Lani - Love the good night pic of the lambs, and thanks for the link to the Bear Center.

Just emptied the rain gauge - in the last 36 hours, we've had 2" of rain in my backyard. :o
PUFF Some good cookbook memories. I've given away all but two - My church cookbook from eons ago and my Better Homes and Gardens. Oops I also have my crockpot recipe book and my recipe box which holds only those recipes that Tim also likes LOL
CLYNN Beautiful coffee bean heart...and those delicate flowers in the rain. Talon such a good sport having his picture taken during the perm. LOL Did Dad or Mom take him? Never think of cemeteries being hit by tornadoes...
LISA Beautiful colors in your AM pic.
Off to get my much needed haircut!!!
-
Clynn, I worked with a Guy ho had a Head of curly hair, like Talon! I asked him if it was natural or a perm .H e looked great, had great sense of humor and was successful. He said his hair was wavy as a Kid nd he spent a lot of time trying to make it straight ! He had pictures and it looked like a pompadour! He said that after a move and a new barber, life changed! The barber asked if he liked his hair to which he replied, no! The barber said he would cut it the way it should be and hence forth he had curls! A great look!
Lani, thanks for the explanation of the bears!
Funny about cookbooks! I have one that is a little worse for ware but others almost unused! Quite a collection! I also have recipes in my mother and aunts handwriting and almost never use anything other than the things I find on line!
Temps going to 84 today! Glad there are no tornadoes in this area now. Scary stuff!
Lisa, those are beautiful colors this am!

Royal Albatross cam
Ranger Sharyn Broni posted
Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)
Weigh day has come a day early again this week. We will back to Tuesday weigh day next week.
Top Flat chick is 97 days old and weighs 7.9 kg at 12.35 today. Last week’s weight was 7.4kg.
https://www.doc.govt.nz/nat...
Top Flat Track chick is 89 days old and weighs 7.6 kg at 12.35 today. Last week’s weight was 6.2 kg.
All four parents are around but sometimes they need to take a longer foraging trip to feed themselves as well as their fast-growing chick.
In case you haven’t seen it, here is our What to Expect video for May/June.
What To Expect On The Royal Albatross Cam: May–June | Adult Feathers And Sex Characteristics video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9ijwgtvq2k&t=5s
Without DNA testing it would only be around this early part of the winter that the sex of all the chicks would be accurately determined. The males are heavier now, although a large female could be bigger than a small male.
Chicks are starting to wander a bit more from their nests now with distances up to 50m being possible. They are likely to return to their nests as this is where their parents will return to feed them.
Exploring the area may help the toroa find the place they were raised when they return as adolescents in 5 years’ time.
Yesterday was Family time for chick TFT. Both parents come to check in for feedings. :-*

Lots of haircuts going around tsk . What a lovely bunch we are. My big surprise was the color clynn . For years for many reasons it made sense to support Clairol to get the color I just needed to have. Laugh was on me. Again, for a couple iffy reasons I let it go. I ended up the exact shade I tried so hard to match - I matched my dad's - naturally. Laugh's on me. Big Guy above must have laughed real hard. He knew what to do.
karengramke Likewise in the recipe in their own writing. (First coming to mind is my dear sil gone above: rice pudding and a sloppy joe recipe.) So many more like that and like you that I cherish, too.

clynn--as to Talon's do.
I think he won't need the perm to get the curl when he has to pay for it out of his wages. ;) :)

OLDGUY Just watched Lesley's fascinating video of her beloved chickadees. A real labor of love. Thanks for posting.
LANI The royal babies are really putting on the weight now.
EBURGH LOL but for now, Mom and Dad can pay LOL
-
BAZI Thanks for the update on your hand. Good progress!!! Will it be a PT or an OT?
...
TSK, it will be OT. I considered cancelling that appt today because I have made leaps and bounds progress as of today! I can now pick up a coffee cup full of coffee using my index finger and thumb - it hurts, but I can do it.Yay!! Also, I can bend my index finger lots more today, in a grasping/gripping "make a fist" type motion - not all the way, but so much better. Can bend the broken middle finger almost halfway down to my palm now, too, but not curling it much! It hurts, but I can do it! :D I decided to keep the appt. The instruction and exercises will be good to get, along with setting expectations. My middle finger has peeled twice now, LOL, from having been covered by that heavy duty splint, that was akin to a soft cast, but not one. It's still very swollen, but not nearly as red/discolored, but the shape of the middle joint area is pretty ugly :P.
-
tsk, Lesley makes wonderful videos, the Chickadee video is so good, and I love her voice! We can watch all of her old videos again since she has retired...
Sophie somehow got onto the roof, climbing the deck screen up to where it meets the house! She has done this several times and we had to get her down! We could hear her walking in the gutter or on top of it or something (we have gutter guards). But SOMEHOW she managed to get out onto the actual roof over the garage! I have the guy who fixed the deck roof coming over to do some more cat proofing. Because if she can get out, a squirrel could get in!
eburg, the price of a perm these days is outrageous, and I get one every three months! I told my stylist that I need to have a punch card so I could get a free one every 5 years or so...She just laughed...
Puff, I gave up on coloring my hair when I retired. Ed was gray before he was 30! Hey, I get my hair cut tomorrow morning! And Kelsey gets hers cut tomorrow afternoon!
Lani, thanks for the Royal Alby updates! I want to hug one of those big fluffy babies!
baz, have you watching tennis today? Watch out for that swollen angry middle finger! Glad to hear they are getting better!

The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay, located in Maryland, USA.
It is here that hundreds of ships were sunk, 230 alone by the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, with more than 100 of the vessels being wooden steamships, part of a fleet built to cross the Atlantic during World War I.
Because they were built of wood, most of these ships were already obsolete by the end of the war, and the U.S. Navy did not want them due to high storage costs. They were sold to the Western Marine & Salvage Company and moved to the Potomac River in Virginia, and eventually towed to Mallows Bay in 1925. The company went bankrupt and the ships were burned where they lay, only their hulls remain.

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I watched my boyfriend win his 3rd round match at the Madrid Open today. :-* :-* Yay! It was a nailbiter finish.
I walked 32 minutes today.
Prayers for those in the path of the severe weather and the tornado outbreaks of the last several days across a number of states.
Sadly, at least 5 dead in tornadoes outbreak, with at least 100 injured. Searches are still in progress in a number of areas. Numbers may change.
Here are some of the details from different towns of deaths and injuries and damage:

Baz, I do not know hoe much movement you should be putting on the broken finger! Thought that when you reported on the condition! Would hate for you to rebreak it! Be interesting to see. What ot has to say!
eburgbirdwatcher!lolol! reminds me hoe much tooth paste, laundry detergent , bath soap, etc cost when I was in college and had to restock! What a shpock! My mother thought it was funny!
Oh my Clynn! How did you get Sophie Off of the roof!?
-
Karen, I agree! But the hand ortho told me to start using it when they took the big heavy splint off of it this past Friday. It is "buddy taped" to my ring finger, and I can remove that at times. Yep, the OT will provide further recommendations.
Clynn, LOL, my version of that injured middle finger salute is attached - it's the picture from the original ultra-lightweight splint, that was changed a few days later by the hand ortho to a much more heavy-duty splint/taping, which I don't have a picture of in "the salute" mode. ;) ;D Yep, I watched some tennis today - saw my boyfriend win his dicey 3rd round match, and watched Madison Keys take a somewhat surprising very close win over Coco Gauff. Also saw some of the Andreeva match - it was her 17th birthday today, so her win was her b'day present. My boyfriend plays again tomorrow.
The very temporary lightweight original splint picture is attached below. It was changed a few days later by the hand ortho to a much more substantial splint and taped covering. ;)
-
BAZI You are making good progress and technically you would likely rehab your own hand by just using it. But good idea to get the OT eval and a home program which would safely guide your progression to meet goals. ;)
CLYNN You can tell Lesley is Canadian because "about" comes out as " aboot" LOL Mom had a friend born in Canada who never lost that accent. No disrespect EMY ;) ;) ;) Sophie is quite a handful :o I would have been hysterical with her on the roof. Reminds me of Miri climbing trees while Maru and Hana look on LOLOL I like your idea of a punch card - get 5 perms and next one is on the house ;D Ghost fleet of Mallows Bay. Interesting. Looks like a nest in that second photo.
-
Tsk, I was hoping that might be the case, but had some reservations about the middle finger - it's pretty ugly in the middle, and even though still swollen quite a bit, it doesn't seem to be operating the way I would expect it to so far. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time, and it is making progress, but I'm still somewhat concerned about it. Looking to get some positive feedback from the OT. Fingers crossed - on the other hand! I can't cross my fingers on my hurt hand yet. ::) ;) Ouch!
Clynn, I forgot to say, thank goodness Sophie's escapades were discovered and she was brought back in safely before getting into any further predicaments! :-*
Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Have a good night, everyone
Will catch up in the morning.

tsk, Lesley makes wonderful videos, the Chickadee video is so good, and I love her voice! We can watch all of her old videos again since she has retired...
Sophie somehow got onto the roof, climbing the deck screen up to where it meets the house! She has done this several times and we had to get her down! We could hear her walking in the gutter or on top of it or something (we have gutter guards). But SOMEHOW she managed to get out onto the actual roof over the garage! I have the guy who fixed the deck roof coming over to do some more cat proofing. Because if she can get out, a squirrel could get in!
eburg, the price of a perm these days is outrageous, and I get one every three months! I told my stylist that I need to have a punch card so I could get a free one every 5 years or so...She just laughed...
Puff, I gave up on coloring my hair when I retired. Ed was gray before he was 30! Hey, I get my hair cut tomorrow morning! And Kelsey gets hers cut tomorrow afternoon!
Lani, thanks for the Royal Alby updates! I want to hug one of those big fluffy babies!
baz, have you watching tennis today? Watch out for that swollen angry middle finger! Glad to hear they are getting better!

The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay, located in Maryland, USA.
It is here that hundreds of ships were sunk, 230 alone by the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, with more than 100 of the vessels being wooden steamships, part of a fleet built to cross the Atlantic during World War I.
Because they were built of wood, most of these ships were already obsolete by the end of the war, and the U.S. Navy did not want them due to high storage costs. They were sold to the Western Marine & Salvage Company and moved to the Potomac River in Virginia, and eventually towed to Mallows Bay in 1925. The company went bankrupt and the ships were burned where they lay, only their hulls remain.
Remnants of those ships and many others, some dating back to the late 1700s, also lie there, including an early 1900s four-masted schooner, and many other vessels from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Article and photos Deirdre Lynn •

TSK-pretty flowers this Am; Yesterday's dandelion was a good365 and a haven for honeybees
HI CLYNN- pretty peace waterfall this AM; I enlarged the P. Eagles snap shot and no 'egglet' . :(
Talon snaps at salon are real 'keepers'. I think Aveda has a 'curling' shampoo...or at least reinforces the curl on already has. Lumpy has an unusual shell
and really looks like some good protection. Just love those Tiger Cubs
Ah those DN kids...! Sure is 'spooky' for The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay. Good one for Halloween
LISA- those 'mums' are so pretty; sharing same weather and I think there's some rain about 2AM-ish; Jeff's car 'Okay'?
HI KAREN
LANI-many tks for the Royal report, sweet 'Family Time' photo; will indeed miss lesley's vids
BAZ-congrats on the OT improvement
CLYNN OMG!!! Sophie out on the roof :o. That gal is adventuresome!
I've cut my own hair for the past 20 +/- years. Start with a great pair of scissors.

Baz- Good for you in how well your hand is healing! :)
Clynn- Wow! Sophie sure is a firecracker!! She clearly loves to explore!!

Eburg ;D
Baz, glad to hear your hand is healing everyday. Congrats to your boyfriend! Terrible destruction of homes and loss of life from the tornadoes. :'(
Clynn, love your suggestion to your hairstylist! ;D .... Sophie is definitely the adventure and she's able to get on the roof. YIKES! Cats are so smart. Too smart! Thank goodness, you discovered it and cat proofing is the next step..... There was good news at Hellgate. The new male is persistent, he came back and he brought her fish twice, as well as helping with nestoration. Prayers Louis stays away. I wouldn't be surprised if Louis primary mate has eggs in nest. Hopefully, he'll stay there....The story of the Ghost Fleet is interesting. I can't believe so many ships are buried there going back 200 years or more.
SED Lisa, I hope all is well with Jeff's car.
SED Karen, Eagles, Emy :)
Phyl, pretty good night pic

BAZ ... I'm sure you are getting good care from docs. Do speak to OT re: how much you can or should do. When I broke my wrist... first time I saw OT and showed how much I could and was doing, she asked me to slow down a bit! I was being too aggressive in my range of motion and repetitions. :o
Best of luck on a good recovery.

Lani, yes, Sophie is quite the adventure seeking cat! And Sam sits there so nicely and watches her! When we had the roof of the deck re-done we thought it was cat-proofed! Ed still cannot figure out how she got out! He kept saying 'there is no way' he could see that she got out, I said 'well, she sure found a way'! I have Jason (deck guy) stopping by to double cat proof! Oh, I am so happy to hear that the new guy is still bringing fish to Iris, this is a new twist. I sure hope he wins her heart with all the fish! Love the campground good night picture!
tsk, I am sure you have activities on your agenda today! That 'aboot' accent from Canada bleeds down into Duluth MN for sure! I distinctly remember it when we lived there! There's a reporter that had the accent and I thought for sure she was from 'up north'. Turns out she is from Canada! It is very distinct!
Phyl, I hope the shelters have a good day today. I think Facebook has really helped the shelters and rescue sites, I see a lot of animal stories and pictures that make me want to save them and help all! Great 365, hard work for the fish! Looks like we are in for a day of strong thunderstorms, possible hail and strong wind, high 80. Lovely.
E4E, I also still have the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook that Mom gave me at my shower in 1972! I bet it's the same one! I also received the Berry Crocker Cookbook from someone! Mom still has her little 1954 Betty Crocker Good & Easy Cook Book, she found one for me in an antique store (3rd picture). I remember helping her make goodies from this one! It's spiral bound which was something new back then!

My friend just got two kitties... Sherlock and Watson.
Cute.

Whew...had a dog run out in front of my car on Penn ave just now. Missed it barely. Moved passed a titch, but stopped safely in the middle of the road and repeatedly tapped my brakes for those cars coming up behind me...saw owner to my right and dog returned safely home. If I was a dog owner I would NOT live on a busy County road or else take extra care to keep it contained. Geesh people.
Oddly, just a block before I saw a lab behind a fence and started imagining how awful it would be to hit a dog,
doo do doo do.
Furthermore, if that blue pickup truck hadn't just missed going through the red light and I therefore took a few extra seconds to go through the green light intersection a hit of the dog might have been inevitable.
I watched as a 9 year old playing cards with family in the living room my own dog get hit by a Bachman's Floral truck. Back in those days, my mother was not a good dog owner in retrospect. No curbs yet, no tying up dogs etc, she grew up on a farm.
Gigi, was saved and lived to be over 13 years old but blind in one eye.
One never forgets these things, ever.

Lani - Had to wait 2.5 hrs. It was not too bad. Thanks for the updates on the Royals and TRR.

baz - Wowza, that is some bandage!
Phyl - Thanks, and love the solar light covers for the posts. All of with Jeff's car.
E4E - Just went to a furniture store this morning, that is why I am late. I bought a new entertainment center to hold the 55" tv, so I can move it from bedroom to living room. Misty will be happy, come Thursday when it is delivered. ;D
tig - Cute names for the kitties.
kb - Close call!
-
Sherlock is orange, Watson is black n white
-
LANI Gosh all the right things are happening at Hellgate..Sloths can get into some might cute poses LOL
LISA So what do you have to move out from the living room to make room for the new entertainment center. LOLOL One thing just leads to another
TIG Good colors!!
Tomorrow Wed 1st - Nova ( PBS) has a program on Osprey ;D
Also, is anyone watching Idol this year? My fav's are all gone now. One gal is my favorite of the 7 that are left but don't think she wll win.

BAZ ... I'm sure you are getting good care from docs. Do speak to OT re: how much you can or should do. When I broke my wrist... first time I saw OT and showed how much I could and was doing, she asked me to slow down a bit! I was being too aggressive in my range of motion and repetitions. :o
Best of luck on a good recovery.
SED all
Tig, yep, thanks. That's why I didn't cancel my appointment with the OT, as I mentioned before. ;) I want her input and instructions on usage and taping, as well as the recommended therapy and exercises. My 1st appt with my OT is tomorrow morning.
-
tsk - I have a huge entertainment center in the living room that we bought in the early 2000's. It is still in good shape, but it will not fit the new TV. It is one of those kinds that has the bookshelves on both sides where the TV is in the middle.

Hi Beakers, This is what I call my Teriyaki Meat Marinade for my Kansas family and friends. A Korean meat dish for special occasions.
Kun Koki-Barbecued Meat
4 lbs beef (rib, round, sirloin ,chuck, or stew.. I made this for 4 lb tenderloin, sirloin, for family and potluck dinners)
2 T. salad oil
1 cup shoyu (soy sauce or I used Kikkoman Soy Sauce, which my girls loved on their rice.... I did not use Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce)
1 tsp. Ajinomoto or any meat tenderizer of your choice
2 T. green onions, chopped fine
4 T. sugar
1 T. garlic, chopped fine
2 T. sesame seeds
1 tsp. black coarse pepper
For Tenderloin, sirloin, I scored with a knife small criss cross slices. Mixed all ingredients together pour over meat in a bowl or container, cover and let stand 1 hour or until your ready to grill.
Be sure to turn meat over in bowl or container, if you're going to leave it longer than an hour before grilling.
Serves 8
I made my beef jerky with inexpensive cut of beef, sliced thin, then marinade overnight, and placed in the dehydrator for a few hours till dry. House always smelled delicious during this day.
I taught tennis my summer group kids loved this as their end of the year tournament treat!

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I walked 44 minutes today. My hip bursitis is trying to re-inflame ::) :P and my bum knee is still a bum, but on we go. ;) ;D
Today, at the Madrid Open, I watched some, or most, of several matches - the Alcaraz match, Medvedev match, Swiatek match, and Sinner match. Madison Keys v Ons Jabeur match started just a bit ago. It's 4-0 so far, for Jabeur, in the 1st set. I'm hanging out to watch my boyfriend play the last match of the day today (4th Round match - Round of 16). :-* I hope he plays well. If he wins his match today, he will have the day off before the next round (the Quarterfinals) on Thursday, then the mens semifinals will be on Friday. Any of his matches could be the last one he plays, since he is not expected to play beyond this year (but anything can happen!), and he hopes to play at least the French Open this year, but who knows how things will go. He already re-injured the hip that took him out for an extended surgery and rehab time, which made him miss some time on the court this year already, including the Australia Open, which he could not play. He wants to end his stellar career on the court, so I hope he can have some good matches, and feel good about his play near the end of his incredible career. His 20-month old cutey-pie son has been watching in the stands at the end of his last couple of matches. He and his wife and young son make a wonderful family, and he has his tennis training academy in his home of Mallorca, so he will stay busy with tennis even after he retires from competition. I don't want to see him go, and I will watch him play till his final retirement as much as possible. :-* :-* :-*
(((IRIS!!! + NEW MALE!!!))) LET IT BE LASTING LOVE!!! :-* :-* :-* Iris and New Male sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First came love, then came marriage, then came ospreylets in a baby carriage!! ;D
Emy! LOLOL!!! I totally got your joke!!! ;) ;D ;D
TSK, thanks for the heads up on the PBS Nova show tomorrow about Osprey! :)
Lisa, hope you're enjoying the new TVs! LOL, that hand bandage was the flrst flimsy little one. It was replaced a few days later by a much larger and more substantial one. ;) ;) But all the bandages are gone now. Yay! My 1st appt with my OT is tomorrow morning.
Lani, thanks for your recipe - it looks divine! You taught tennis! Wow! I know they loved your teriyaki beef jerky! I want some! :) I have always wanted to see a Crested Caracara in the wild! What a striking bird!! :-* I've never had the good fortune of seeing one yet in my times in the southeast or southwest US, or in Mexico. Those little sloths are so cute - look at those baby tummies! :D I hope they grow in health and get to be released eventually. :-*
Clynn, I can't wait to hear what the deck roof guy decides is where Sophie made her escape! Is everyone looking up for where that spot might be? Maybe it's someplace "down below," instead of "up above."
Tennis match update - Ons Jabeur won the 1st set, but Madison Keys is up 3-2 in the second set right now.
Waving to All the Beakers! :D

Bood. Afternoon! Hot. Sunny day! Think 85 degrees! Went to a resale shop that supports hospice with clothing and a dog bed and then on to a business for a yeRs supply of filters for heat and ac then to the board of elections to vote.
Have a few errands saved for Thursday , ending with a trip to the ent for a check up!
Hope Iris and the new guy will become a pair! He sure is trying! Fingers crossed! Sorry Ba! Lol.
Clynn, how is the escape hoke fix proceeding?
Lami, I used to make an appetizer called rumaki and marinated in a similar sauce to yours! Have not had it for years but it was delicious. Gave my red plaid Betty Crocker cookbook away years ago! Still find some of the recipes on line!
Speaking of which it is time to dig in the freezer for something for dinner!
-
LISA What will you do with the old entertainment center? Ours is built into the wall so we can't go any bigger than we have - I think 55"
LANI Cool cookbook. Didn't know you were a tennis teacher ;D Beautiful Hawaiian blessing. A nice grace before meals.
BAZI Thanks for the tennis update. I was not home most of today :( Yes as a tennis start you would hope you could go out on a good note. I hope this happens for him.
KAREN You had a busy day. Was that with your helper doing the driving?
Two hours at the church garden - did some hosta splitting and pieces would be used elsewhere on the church campus. The landscaper helped. I'm beat! He needs to bring some topsoil tomorrow to fill the holes left by the splitting.
-
Yes, The helper A was driving and will on Thursday! Have enjoyed driving all my life and took solo trios all over and now I am not real comfortable with it, perhaps I need to practice some!
O funny. i jut reading a dog forum I belong to and Pup escaped the Fenced in courtyard! The name, Sophie! Lol! Clynn, it is all inthe name! Dog was found!

Lani--I see in the cookbook benediction your name appears. Which word of the benediction is it? I always figured Lani had something to do with flowers and the word "lanaii" (?sp) for the aloha wreaths we all seek on our Hawaiian visits. :)

Hi Eburg, Lani means "heaven" ;D my full name is Leilani.. Lei meaning flower, together it means "heavenly flower." Thanks for asking. ;D
Lisa, You're going to love having the Entertainment Center and 55" tv! ;D ... Misty will be happy LOL! cats! ;D
Tig, Kittens are darling colors with perfect names!
Baz, good luck with your appt tomorrow. :) .. yes, I taught tennis, when our girls were in their teens, summers were spent traveling to tennis tournaments for Shannon, or my teaching children from ages 6-14. Great tennis updates. thanks.
Tsk, You had a busy day .. it always makes me nervous to split my plants. I need to split my purple cones, other perennials. Mike and I watched the Secrets of the Octopuss, and we enjoyed it very much. Learned a lot.... I'll check out the Ospreys on Nova tomorrow. ;D
Baz, Tsk, I taught tennis for 22 years as a volunteer mom when Shannon was 12. There wasn't a tennis program in Salina, so I started teaching children from age 6 to 14. My summers for 22 years were filled with teaching kids for 10 weeks, five mornings a week, built the program to 125 kids per summer. When we moved here I gave the program to the highschool Tennis coach and a Club Pro Coach to continue it... I've played tennis for 30 years. I was an Singles A player when I moved here. I stopped play 15 years ago. Too expensive to play here. Shannon was a great tennis player. She was ranked in the top 10 in Kansas from age 14 - 18 as Singles player. In Doubles she was ranked top 10 in state age 16 - 18. She played for her high school as well as state tournaments in her teen years. We spent years on the tennis courts. Mike was on the golf course... I think my highschool PE teachers would probably be amazed I became a tennis player. It was my goal to have children of all ages, whether they were shy and they thought they couldn't play a physical game. I wanted to teach children not to be afraid of playing tennis. That anyone of any ability can play for fun. I made it fun. So my kids stayed with me from ages 6 to 14 and it was a thrill for me to see them grow and progress in positive ways. For me the proudest moments are when I read the Salina Journal the kids I taught continued playing throughout high school years and in college. I bet you wish you hadn't asked. TMI ;D
Karen, you had a busy day. Glad you had help with driving... Iris new beau was with her most of the day, nestorating, mating, getting fish for her. Louis has not been seen with her for two days now... talons crossed he stays with his primary mate. I'm hoping for another good day with the new male tomorrow.... it's been snowing off and on in Hellgate today.

Just got home3 hrs ago from taking Jim to So. Hills Med Ctr. ER as per his PCP visit 4pm. The reason was fluid in lungs.
But the ER doc and staff did tests with better equip. and determined the cause was CHF and that fluid
was seeping into his lungs. Soooooo, my 'guy' is there in a 2nd floor room taking Lasix for the next few days
having a 'love affair' with the toilet. No rest for him...why no cath is beyond me.
Who cares right now.
I'm turning in for some 'shut-eye' and cuddle with Maggie.
Soooo...

Phyl, oh no, Jim in the hospital again! I hope they quickly find where the fluid in his lungs is coming from and get it taken care of. I would also think a cath would allow him to rest more easily... You and Maggie need some good rest today, hope you can get it! Good 365!
Lani, love the meaning of your name, I think I mentioned years ago that the Noritake china I chose for my bridal registry is called Sweet Leilani, it is soft, pretty pink flowers with gray accents. Love hearing your life story of your love for tennis, WOW! It's obvious you have always been a loving and passionate person, giving to others is a big part of your life! And what we reveal to our friends is never TMI. Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Wonderful news about Iris, this has never happened with any previous male suitor, I think it is a good sign! Love the cherished cookbook!
BL, what? :o Good tune!
tsk, my hostas in my front garden are doing beautifully! I have a couple of new ones I need to get tucked in here and there. No splitting yet!
baz, you had a good day watching your boyfriend and even got a walk in! Jason, the deck guy, hasn't been here yet. He said some time this week, probably between other jobs. Meanwhile Sophie is not allowed out unless Ed or I are out there. Kelsey is no good at watching her! ;D Her latest fun is playing in the water dish, putting her toys in and fishing them out. And occasionally turning the dish over in the process. The water bowl went in the bathtub last night, until I can get an un-tippable one!
Lisa, you have the same issue with your entertainment center that we did. I ended up putting ours on Facebook Market Place as FREE. Got rid of it quickly! Like so many things, no one ever thought there would be a bigger tv!!
Hellgate Osprey Cam - Jenny Powell
Is it too soon to dub them as Hellgate's hottest new couple?! ❤ He's been bringing her Fish, he works on Nest and brings building supplies, they spend quality time together watching trains and other happenings in the kingdom of Iris, they mate and he listens to her as she tells him stuff!

BL Enjoyed the Clapton/Winwood piece.
LANI Such a beautiful name. :) WOW Something we didn't know about you. What a wonderful experience teaching the kids and for all those years!!. (I bet you would have been a good school teacher too. ;) ;) ) Shannon really got the hang of it and did well. ;D I used to play tennis regularly when I first moved to this area. Had friends who played so I had to learn. Great exercise. I had some learning experience with pickleball when in Door county - Much easier on the endurance as a senior, but didn't get the hang of the scoring in that short time. The interest in the sport is spreading rapidly. Glad you got to see "Octopus" .The nice thing about hosta is that you just can't kill them LOLOL. Perennials are pretty hardy.
(((PHYL))) (((JIM))) I think the rationale on the catheter is that it is invasive and infections easy to acquire. That was always a last resort for my Mom and Dad. Both finally succumbing.
CLYNN What a bright launch into May ;D ;D That little Sophie is a handful ;D ;D ;D. Sure is looking good for Iris and her new pal

baz - I am enjoying the new TV's. I was a lil frustrated at first, cause I do not like change, and getting use to the different apps was driving me insane. Oh, so your 2nd bandage is like the one that clynn posted.....just joking! ;D Good luck at the OT's today!
karen - We have had some hot sunny days here too. I normally do not turn on the AC this early, but the kitties looked like they were dying of heat exhaustion. If I lived closer, I would drive you around. I love to drive! :D
tsk - I would like to see if maybe Jeff can remove the bookcase part from each side, and just keep the cabinet part where the TV sits. We use that as a lil storage area for some holiday stuff.
Phyl - Prayers for Jim, and a speedy recovery. Hope you got a lil rest.
clynn - Love the pretty flowers in your last pic. Jeff is like, now what do we do with all these older TV's. I am for one that likes to bring things to Goodwill, so I can use that as a tax donation. Thanks for the Hellgate update. I hope Iris stays with her new man!

{{{Phyl, Jim and Miss Maggie}}} oh, I'm sorry Jim is in the hospital. Sending prayers for quick healing and comfort for him. Mike didn't have a cath when he was in the hospital for fluid in his lungs. Drs at AZ Heart Institute wanted to limit the possibility of staph infections and building of more fluid in lungs or around heart if he lying constantly. But, then this is what they did for Mike five years ago.... please rest and take care and find comfort in our prayers coming your way.
Clynn, Have you thought about getting Sophie and her siblings a pet water fountain. They come with a filter and different sizes. I'm sure she'll love it, but she can't tip it over. Sadie has a large pet fountain in the kitchen, cats use that too. A rubber mat with an edge to prevent water spillage on floor is under Sadie's fountain. The cat's fountain sits on a pet potty liner, that has their food dishes too.... have you let Sophie show you where she gets on the roof? Maybe by watching her from inside the house, then you can see where you might be able to block the hole with a towel or something until Jason can repair it.... I love seeing Iris on her nest more often and hearing her chirping away. She does have a way of making your ears ring!!! LOL!
Tsk, I've been asked a few times, but for some reason I'm not interested in playing Pickle Ball. It looks like fun though, and less strenuous on the knees. ;D Sending prayers for your family, a lot going on with them too.
{{{Lori and Destini}}} Happy May Day, I love you buttery cake! :-*
Tig, have a good day :)
Lisa, Bradley could make a jar of the marinade, it keeps well in the frig and would be handy anytime.... good idea about keeping the cabinet and using it for storage... you might check with a Domestic Violence Shelter or Pet Rescue donation centers to dispose of the tv too. We take our items to them and they will provide a tax donation form too.

LISA That's a very "cinnamony" cuppa' ;D I think Best Buy or Office Max will recycle those? Around here we have a womens' shelters that accept those for the homes the women live in? LANI had a good idea with pet rescue places as well.
LORI A wonderful cheerful welcome to May :)
LANI One happy pup :) Today Tim's cousin Joe will meet with the oncologist and find out the results of his biopsy.... :-\ ???
You would get my vote as May Day queen as well ;) ;) Very pretty dress.
Gorgeous AM. Did a 33 min walk and transplanted some daisies that were wondering under my row of privacy arborvitae. Rest a bit and leave!
Off to see " The Music Man" at 1 PM today at a professional suburban theater. It's one of Tim's favorites.. We go there often as Tim would no longer drive in the City to see theater. We have enough good stuff in the burbs to keep us entertained LOL Did the City when younger..

Baz, good luck with your appt tomorrow. :) .. yes, I taught tennis, when our girls were in their teens, summers were spent traveling to tennis tournaments for Shannon, or my teaching children from ages 6-14. Great tennis updates. thanks.
Baz, Tsk, I taught tennis for 22 years as a volunteer mom when Shannon was 12. There wasn't a tennis program in Salina, so I started teaching children from age 6 to 14. My summers for 22 years were filled with teaching kids for 10 weeks, five mornings a week, built the program to 125 kids per summer. When we moved here I gave the program to the highschool Tennis coach and a Club Pro Coach to continue it... I've played tennis for 30 years. I was an Singles A player when I moved here. I stopped play 15 years ago. Too expensive to play here. Shannon was a great tennis player. She was ranked in the top 10 in Kansas from age 14 - 18 as Singles player. In Doubles she was ranked top 10 in state age 16 - 18. She played for her high school as well as state tournaments in her teen years. We spent years on the tennis courts. Mike was on the golf course... I think my highschool PE teachers would probably be amazed I became a tennis player. It was my goal to have children of all ages, whether they were shy and they thought they couldn't play a physical game. I wanted to teach children not to be afraid of playing tennis. That anyone of any ability can play for fun. I made it fun. So my kids stayed with me from ages 6 to 14 and it was a thrill for me to see them grow and progress in positive ways. For me the proudest moments are when I read the Salina Journal the kids I taught continued playing throughout high school years and in college. I bet you wish you hadn't asked. TMI ;D
Lani, oh no, NOT TMI!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!! AND SHANNON! It warms my heart, you have no idea how much, to hear your story of initiating that tennis program for the kids in Salina, and growing it and keeping it going for so long!! :-* :-*
I'm so glad you were able to turn it over to others to carry it on after you moved away. I can only imagine how much it meant to you to see that so many of those kids continued to play into adulthood!! :-* :-* I was the tennis product of a beginning tennis program in my community, and finally with a number of courts being built in the community I grew up in, as my town embraced the sport of tennis in a big, big way and put money into public courts and tennis programs. I started playing when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Then, I also was lucky enough to join a swim and racquet club, and got some stellar training from 3 different pros there later on. One of them was the mom of one of my friends, whose family moved to my town when I was in Junior High School. She and I played a lot of tennis, and when they moved back to Oklahoma City, I would go out and visit and play tennis out there. Two other men teaching pros remain memorable for me, one of whom was from Australia and had been friends of, and trained at the same facility withs, Yvonne Goolagong, one of my early women tennis idols! He went on to coach a major university tennis team after a couple of years at that club. My very first lessons were from a man whose family lived across the street from my family, and he had played professionally in his younger years. I basically lived on the courts in the summer, and did what I could with a couple of other friends to clear snow and rain from the outside courts and dry them in the winter so we could play! At least till our hands got numb from the cold! LOL. I did not have access to the pricey private indoor courts to use them in the winter. You made such a positive impact in the lives of all your tennis kids!! :-* :-*
(((IRIS))) I hope Iris and her New Man keep the fire alive!! :-* :-*

((Phyl)) ((Jim)) I'm posting as I read, and hope I see an update as I go along, or maybe after you have visitited Jim today and get back home again. Maybe they want Jim to get up some, so get up to use the bathroom instead of a catheter... just a guess. And to avoid the common acquired (but totally avoidable!) hospital infection from the use of catherters, as TSK mentioned. I hate to hear of his heart failure dx, and hope the Lasix has done its work so that he is more comfortable soon. Glad to know he's getting the additional testing needed, and hope he won't need to stay at the hospital too long. Prayers for comfort and improvement.
Clynn, LOL on Sophie and her water toys! :-* You might need to get her a "toy" aquarium after the deck is kitty-proofed, if the enclosed deck has a waterproof floor for spills!! ;D
Karen, you did a lot! You doing any of that driving for your errands? Hope your ENT appt goes well! UPDATE: Oh, I see your follow-on post about Helper A driving for your errands. :)
TSK, that's a lot of work!! But I know that's how you roll. ;) :D I know your garden areas must be so nice to work in and enjoy being around! :)

Lani, I love those pictures of you as the May Day Queen! And that was such a gorgeous dress!!
I had my 1st appt today with the OT for my fingers/hand. She is great!! I got lots of excellent evaluation and input, with some directions for an inclusive program of heat - they had a killer cool heat machine I had never used before that I have decided will heal whatever ails you! LOL -and manual lymphatic drainage/massage, various mobility exercises, instructions on usage and rest, wrap and support stuff. My next appt with her will be next Tuesday, and then another the following Tuesday, if needed. I was very impressed with her. And she also seems like such a calm and kind person... always a plus.
Take care, All. :)

BAZI Thanks for that backround in tennis for you too. I remember Yvonne Goolagong. Excellent OT report. Rapport is so important!! You used a modality term I've never heard of LOL " cold and heat machine". Someone should have invented that a long time ago! "Manual lymphatic drainage" - another procedure not around when I was practicing. Sounds like you are on the right track and she sees you as a good patient who does not need more than a once a week check. :-*
KB Of course I have to say - I wonder how they ever planted all those tulip bulbs and that they must not have squirrels in that neighborhood LOL There wouldn't be one tulip standing if they did ::) Just stunning.
Music Man - what fun and full of energy. Can't go wrong with theater in the round. Stopped at a "family" type restaurant on the way home. Bacon burger for me and regular cheeseburger for Tim.

Happy May!
Doing a little catching up in the Beak :-[
Tsk- Hope you enjoyed getting your hair cut! Nothing wrong with getting your hair cut whenever you feel you need it. ;) :)
I just saw that you said you are watching American Idol! We have been watching too!! Unfortunately some of my favorites are gone now, so then, I try and choose another fav, but Idol has had a fantastic group this year - so many were so wonderful and talented, that it is hard to see any of them leave.
Clynn- Yes! That is the same Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook I have that was given to me as a bridal shower gift from my Mom! I will always keep and treasure it!
Tig- Such darling names that your friends gave their two new kitties! :) I bet they are so cute!
Lani- I always love pictures of the darling Sloths and thank you for update! Your meat marinade recipe sounds fantastic, and I will come back to it and copy it down! I always keep Kikkoman soy sauce in my fridge, as we love it on white steamed rice and I use it for my marinade sauce too: Equal parts: Kikkoman Soy Sauce, White wine, Orange Juice; then you can add any of your favorite spices depending if its for: Beef, Chicken, Pork. Depending on how much meat I am marinading; my equal parts of those 3 main items are either a 1/2 C or 1 C of each.
Lani- Just read about your tennis days; I did not know you did all of that!!!! How special for you to volunteer your time to all those children to teach tennis and to give such invaluable time to each and every one of those precious children!!! :-*
I bet your beef jerky was to die for!!!! ;D ;D
LisaG- I hope Misty adapts to your new Tv! It might take a little time :)
Baz- Good for you in how well you take care of yourself with walking and taking care of your healing hand. Thumbs up for you!!!
Eburg- Glad you asked Lani about her name and I see that she answered! ;D
Phyl- How is Jim today? Hope all goes well for him and that he feels better soon.
Need to start cooking dinner - so gotta go - I still have a little more to read!

tsk - I have tons of squirrels here but never had them dig up bulbs.
Rabbits, now that's a different story. they ate my tulip flowers this spring...haven't done it till just a few years ago.
So, I wonder how they keep the wabbits away.

Beakers have a good evening.

Tsk, we have a Humane Society of Central Arizona Resale Center for our no-kill rescue center and Time-Out Shelter and Thrift Resale Store... we donate our items there to be resold... Love Music Man, the best talents are local. Sounds like you and Tim enjoyed the play and dinner out too! YUM! ;D
Baz, Thank you for sharing your tennis story too. I can feel your excitement through your words. I remember Yvonne Goolagong ;D, what a great group of tennis players in the 70-80's and beyond. Chris Evert was my idol too. I still have my first Chris Evert racket followed by the mid-size Evert racket. I remember a Tennis Coach tried to break my habit of playing a two-handed backhand. But, it was a natural for me and I couldn't stop the habit. Yes, I enjoyed teaching children, watching them play and grow every summer at a park that allowed me to use two courts every summer weekday. I didn't charge it was for fun. Sitting on the tennis court bench with these kids, I was like a fly on a wall to them. They felt comfortable to say what they wanted and I was allowed to be in their world and share in their thoughts. What happened on the courts stayed on the courts. LOL! The kids trusted me and I them :-*.... There was only a couple of times in those 22 years that I called a parent and that was out of concern for a child's welfare and keeping their privacy in mind. I can still see the child and I pray life has been good for him..... I have my May Day Dress and Wedding Dress stored nicely in boxes. ;D... So glad you had a great evaluation and appt.... That heat machine sounds like it will do the job! prayers for continued healing and comfort.
Kb, gorgeous tulips! Such vibrant colors. I just read Tsk's post, I didn't think about squirrels. LOL!
Eagles, I keep a bottle of Kikkoman in the refrig too! You have a yummy handy recipe too! Thanks for sharing.
Karen, good idea about going to BL's for Mahi Mahi steaks and Lori's cheesecake! 8) ... our temps are still in the low 70's.
Tig, beautiful vibrant pink tulips. :-*

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Thursday.
Currently: 62F clear with a High 86F sunny, Low 62F
Arrived to hospital between 3:30 pm and just before 4pm. Jim was asleep and on some 'sort of O2'. His clothes tossed on a chair--I hung his clothes and tidied his tray table. They keep his door closed as opposed to others who had their's open. Pretty clear to see they wanted him to have P &Q and rest.
He looked much more rested and not so much coughing or 'train wreck' noise. His RN came in and set up IV for his antibiotics as just a touch of in his lungs w/ NS solution to flush his IV line.
As some here have said, " No cath." for infection. ;)
Jim told me he heard rumor that he might be released tomorrow---'What?" I said. I think he should stay another day. And, that may very well be. ;)
The trash dumpster had been left out and truth known I just didn't want to bother---that 'thing' is as big as I ma and a booger to deal with ---let me tell you! I
wanted to get it inside before Jim got home so he'd not deal with it.
On lighter note: Never was there a cuppa Joe my Dad didn't like without this stuff---Cremora. I use Kikkoman also.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family . 'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

TIG Do you find your tulips multiply on their own like daffodils?
LANI Actually the female lead, Marion, in her credits she has played NY and London's East End. She had a very strong operettic voice that Tim and I both felt was "too much" for this part gorgeous as it was. Many of this huge cast had TV roles as well. Such a good teacher and friend you were to those kids. It's no wonder that you have beautiful girls of yoru own :-* What a funny good night sleep over LOL
PHYL Throwback Thurs. I do remember Cremora :) Thanks for Amy's blog as always. Falcons getting busy now. George Washington and the jars of cherries ;D

Good Morning Beakers!
Phyl, thanks for the update on Jim and for taking the time for posting interesting links for us! Hopefully you are now resting and getting a little rest! You were posting at 3 am! Wow!
Temps are currently 65 with 95 percent humidity! Going to 91 later today with an average high for this date of 84! A tad high! You can almost squeeze the air and get wet! No rain in the forecast!
Think my finches have fledged but not sure! Occasionally see a head in the back but no flying around or looking in the house! Will wait for a second clutch!
Hummingbird feeder is out but no sightings! May have been late hanging it!
Help comes an hour late today. And I have two things to do besides the ent! Cpap machine broke when I got to bed last night! Said major air leak in humidifier tube! No air coming out anywhere so have to get that fixed! Also need to pick up some plants this afternoon so I can get the yard man to plant them tomorrow! Need a few more liriopes, a few roses and a Mandevilla! May call the garden center and have them ready for pickup!

Phyl, sounds like Jim is getting good care, I agree with you about staying another day, so both of you can get a little more rest. I will be reading your 'Miscellany of Interest' throughout the day! Curious about the Old Bras article! Amy's Blog, great as usual! Warms my heart to see how good the Decorah North and Trempealeau kids are doing! I remember Cremora! I have had Coffee Mate Hazelnut in my coffee for years! And Years! Have tried other flavors but keep going back. ;D
Lani, so you are a two-handed back-hander! I was looking up the 10 Best Women Tennis players, 4 of them were two-handed back-handers (including your Idol!), and of course you know, the number 1 was Serena Williams who was also a two-handed back-hander! So you were in good company! Kudos to you for being a good friend to the kids you were teaching, you probably helped them more than you know... Your May Day picture...you look like a Princess! Love it!
E4E, you should have seen Sophie yesterday! Ed attached a furry mouse to a long thin strip of leather, she had the mouse in her mouth and was running all over the house and up/down the stairs. Sam was chasing a knot at the end of the leather, all over the house. It was so funny! It went on for several minutes!
BL, a 29 pounder, WOW! That had to be quite a job, bringing that in! Several meals worth! Yum!
karen, you have a busy day planned!
kb, love the tulip house!
It's the first day of the Tulip Festival in Pella, Iowa!

You go Iris! Do not let Louis distract you! Thanks Clynn! Fun and funny kitties you have! Mickey has a. Black male cat that washes his feet in his water dish.
Will occasionally wash a toy in there!

Looks nice and inviting posture to all of us. There are a lot of us watching; we're all hoping the new couple becomes a permanent couple.
Interesting report from Amy on the Trempealeau nest. I would have guessed the opposite.

TSK... Certainly not the new tulips out front. I wonder about my Mom's tulips in the back yard... from the 60s or 70s? They are still going strong. I'll try to get a pic today after the rain.

E4E - Your marinade sounds good, too!
BrokenLug - Nice catch!

tig - Pretty tulips :)
Phyl - Jim sounds like he is in good hands.
clynn - Love the flowers in the colored bottles. Aww, love the pic of Iris & new guy. Congrats to the Norwich Cathedral falcons on their hatches.

Lisa, wish we would have a cool down!

Hmm, I caught this very long white thing out of the corner of my eye outside my front window..toilet paper?, white long tailed bird?
Then Mrs. Robin returned to my yard hoisting that long "rope"...she struggled mightily with it wrapping it around her beak several times, flying off, returning, etc. .with Daddy in my maple tree either encouraging her or discouraging her?
Both are now in my tree with rope like thingy laying across my driveway....this could take awhile, LOL

well, I took a walk in the drizzle with Ollie. When I left long piece of what looked like twine was in my garden, no birdies around.
When I returned home, no twine anywhere...

BAZI Thanks for that backround in tennis for you too. I remember Yvonne Goolagong. Excellent OT report. Rapport is so important!! You used a modality term I've never heard of LOL " cold and heat machine". Someone should have invented that a long time ago! "Manual lymphatic drainage" - another procedure not around when I was practicing. Sounds like you are on the right track and she sees you as a good patient who does not need more than a once a week check. :-*
TSK, oops! It was not a cold and heat machine! LOL, that would be nice, though! I said it was a cool heat machine! Meaning, it was an amazingly wonderful heat machine - not cool in temperature. LOLOL!! ;D

KAREN My oriole feeder has had no visitors. However my hummer feeder went up on April 30th and Tim saw a hummer feeding on May 1st! The syrup is half gone already LOL Sounds like a productive day for you. We went this cloudy AM and got Tim's "veggies " to plant for this year. Went faster as I made him make a list LOLOL
CLYNN One of Lulu's favorite games is chasing the mouse at the end of a wire attached to the stick in the "operator" hand LOL She will carry that mouse around the house with the stick banging into everything. She just this minute dragged it in to me at the PC. ::) We have to hide it at night or else... ::) I wouldn't be able to stop taking pics at the tulip festival. So happy for Iris!! Agree with LANI about the pic of Iris and her new mate. The Nova last night on osprey was very good. Didn't realize that mated pairs who return separately do not come for the partner but for the nest!!!
KB That is funny!! Let us know if you see the twine hanging from a nest somewhere LOLOL
LANI Those albie chicks look like huge cotton balls . I would love to feel one. Agree with you about the Iris pic.
BAZI Then I will just have to invent one of those heat/cool machines LOL ;D
Tim's cousin ( late 50's) has a stage 3 astrocytoma partially removed from his brain. Beginning May 20 he will begin cancer tx daily for 45 consecutive days. It will be a chemo pill and radiation at a cancer center 35 minutes away from his Texas home. Thank you for your prayers.

Caught a 29 lbs bull Mahi-mahi today ,, fresh steaks are a sizzling on the BBQ. ;D
BL, I'm sooo jealous!! Are you out again today? I don't see you on that live marina cam right now, so you must be out fishing!! :) It looks like a gorgeous day there!! A 29-lb bull dolfin fish is WOWOW-YOWZA!!! That's-a-lotta mahi-mahi steaks!! Throw one on the grill for me!! :D
Find BrokenLug at Teach's Lair Marina - Live cam shot, 2pm today! ;D

Have a good day, Beakers! :)
I walked about a half hour this morning. My time is an estimate because I stopped a couple of times to assist a Mother Goose and her 3 very small goslings. They looked to be only a very few days old. There was no Dad Goose! :'( :( who would normally be walking behind Mom and their little ones, guarding and giving directions all along. She looked like she wanted to cross the major traffic road close to my home!! And I was trying to discourage her from across that busy street that I had just had a time crosssing myself. She turned to continue leading her 3 little ones up the side of the road she was on, and then she decided to cross the smaller road I live on, but the little ones couldn't jump up the curb on the other side of the road to the sidewalk there. She stopped on the sidewalk to talk to her babies about needing to hop up onto the sidewalk with her, but they couldn't hop that high, sweet things, and they were getting very close to a large street drain, looking for a different way alongside the curb to get to their Mom. So I crossed the busy big road back to her side of the street and calmly approached them, and gave each of the 3 little goslings a tushy boost up the curb onto the sidewalk next to their Mother Goose. :-* Mother Goose talked to me just a bit, but wasn't aggressive so I only quietly and calmly told her "Hi Mom, it's ok. Here are your babies." I think she saw I was helping, so she just watched me. I walked away as soon as I boosted the 3 babies up the curb to the sidewalk, and then I watched from a distance, and she started leading them along. Whew. After I crossed back to the other side of the busy street a 2nd time (I was heading up to the woods to the kayak launch in the Cypress woods/swamp today), I saw she had turned back around towards the road, with babies scurrying behind, and was now walking up the side of the very busy road, and looking to cross!! !! Oh no... She was getting close to a group of workers who were spreading pine straw at the complex next door to mine. One of the workers saw me trying to warn the oncoming traffic and signal them to slow down because Mom was getting so close to the road! No time to wait at that point, so I started waving from the edge of the road at the cars in both directions, as I held out my hands in stop position. Then as I saw a car slowing in each direction, I stepped out into the roadway for a full traffic stop. Then the worker on the other side of the street, who saw me, walked to get behind Mother Goose and her 3 babies, and helped herd them more quickly across the street in the gap between the traffic that was stopped in both directions. They made it! Mom Goose then headed up the sidewalk toward a retention pond nearby, her 3 babies behind, scurrying. :-* :-* I watched for a long time, till she turned into the grassy area away from the road, near that pond, and then I came back across that busy road, again! -LOL - and took my walk instead on a shorter path through my own immediate neighborhood. So my walk was not uninterrupted, since I stopped several times. It's hard for a person to cross that road at certain times of day. I usually have to wait a while till there is enough of a break in that 45 mph heavy traffic, which is often speeding faster, to get across myself. Mother Goose and her 3 babies would've needed a full stoplight with a traffic cop on duty to do it! So I guess, all in all, my actual total walking time turned out to be maybe 30 minutes, maybe a little less.
Off to run to the grocery store for a few items, and then watch some more tennis, currently recording on my DVR.
Take care, All. :) :-*

Baz/Lani...all... Capt. Andy seems to be a very respectful southern gentleman. He is the one who plays Santa in his community and to whom I sent a pkg. of teddy bears this past Christmas for him to add to the hundreds he handed out to the kids in the hospital, kids in need at several locations, and the remainder to first responders to have on hand.
Well Baz, tennis went my way on the mens' side, but not the womens'. Oh well. Next time.

Great news on the osprey population Lani. I don't keep that tight of a watch on her - Timewise who did what when - who does it belong to?
KB Another cute/good-to-know tale of the goose mother and her little ones. Even cuter is to hear that the fellow worker helped and cared to help. And, that robin's piece of string looked to be over a yard. Maybe they're building a 2-level?
Beat me tsk mostly because I didn't hang my feeders out until yesterday. Needed some little pole hooks to extend their placement. There's only one tree (locust) that's close enough sitting on the patio to watch. Other trees outline the side and back of the property. But I did buy a new chickadee/wren house to hang off the garage eave. I know there are Chicks always in my yard so I had to replace the broken down old one. Chickadees come first and wren will move in if chicks fledge so wrens can have their own brood later. Just in case, I have a spare plastic house around the corner of the garage in case the wrens mate early.
I'm sounding only slightly feeble - I made a list of the seeds I already have, but then started to try to remember what they were. Remember is a 4-letter word. :o I will be going back soon, seeds sell out quickly, some slots were already slim pickings. List will be in my purse until I buy rest. And though I didn't intend to . . .yes, I bought some plants. I swear that store is one of my favorite EVIL stores. Always gets on to my cc statement.
So sorry to hear about Tim's cousin. Along with hugs - our special group here are also doing what we can with prayers.

TIG One more to go. But like he said, relief for the family that they have his remains. Very sad. Thanks for the update
LANI GREAT news for Iris. :D :D :D Awww Little boy and his pup. ;)
PUFF Tim was having a cigar out on the patio this afternoon and watched several at the hummer feeder. They never seem to appear when I'm out there which was a lot this afternoon LOL Well we never got but a few drops of all the rain we were supposed to get this afternoon. I've got exterior window washer coming tomorrow AM 7:30!! - I thought it was to rain - He said no. We'll see.

Hi LisaG., Og :)
Beakers have a good evening :)

tsk Forgot to mention it before - You mentioned earlier that the predicted rain never it made it this afternoon. It did by me. About 2 o'clock it poured and thundered for about a half hour. Didn't get outside to see what was in the gauge. I forgot to mention my weather, the noise just reminded me. But then I'd have to add the stuff coming down right now. Thunder with this time also. Good for the grass. Got TruGreened the end of last week; and, also had a fellow helping repair my sump pump system to throw some grass seed/dirt on the lawn as overseed. Water will come in handy. I'll let you know the total tomorrow. Uppps - just checked in with the Wunderground radar and it actually looks like you're going to get it this time. Enjoy!
Sleep tight!

Karen, I hope your busy day went well. Were you able to get the cpap machine fixed? We had to buy a new mask for Mike's.
Good night!
Iris having a late night snack. New Guy brought 4 meals to her today. She took it to owl pole to eat. NG didn't brood egg, but has stood and protected nest while Iris was at the pole eating. This egg has to be Louis's... Louis hasn't been seen at nest for two or three days. His primary mate Star probably is brooding an egg or two by now. So he's staying near home.

BL WOW What a whopper. You must be on a charter? I love mahi-mahi ;D
.. Yesterdays fishing report: we caught 4 Yellowfin Tuna in the 90 to 120 lbs range, 2 Mahi-mahi and a huge Wahoo .. headed to the marina now ..
Actually tsk we are four guys fishing off of my friend Kirk's (Captain Kirk) 24 ft Grady White offshore boat called Patty's Pride. Kirk's wife.
We head out from Teach's Lair Marina before sunrise (calm water) through the very tricky Hatteras Inlet on fair weather days only. We're usually back at the dock by 2-4 pm.
The west edge of the Gulf Stream is "only" about 12 to 20 miles out.
You quickly go from the relatively cool shallow green inshore water of the Labrador Current on the continental shelf to the deep warm blue water of the Gulf Stream and the waters depth on the depth finder drops off like a rock. (hundreds of feet to thousands of feet)
At the convergence of the Green and Blue water linear "weed lines" form sometimes for miles maybe 20 to 50 feet wide.
See pic below taken off FL coast as an example.
Those lines or rafts of naturally occurring flodsam (seaweed and such) 'hold' the bait fish under them.
You guessed it that's were the big boys lurk.
We troll along the edges of these weed lines with 8 poles and lines out.
Where the Sea Gulls are dive bombing the water, that's where the schools of bait fish are with the big guys right below.
We seldom need to use a fish finder as we just follow the gulls by sight.
Once you get on the tuna, mahi, wahoo's etc you can fill all of the boats coolers very quickly.
We call it Tuna mayhem.
If one pole gets "hit" then usually multiple poles get hit all at once.
Then it's game on and the Tuna mayhem commences .. all hands on deck .. this is a precarious and potentially dangerous time. All items on deck must be carefully secured or stowed. Your not watching where your feet are, you are watching the line and the fish on the end of it. Unused poles, lines, big hooks and gaffs must be secured for safety while you play the fish with a fighting lap belt on.
The weather conditions for offshore fishing have been absolutely stellar. Calm seas, light wind and perfect temps.
Yesterday 05/02/24 we caught 4 Yellowfin Tuna in the 90 to 120 lbs range, 2 Mahi-mahi and a huge Wahoo.
Captain Kirk has a NC commercial fishing license so we can sell the ones we don't keep for good $$$ at the dock.
Kirk also has a high end food vacuum sealer for the coolers full of steaks we do bring home.
Some years we catch enough fish to cover the cost of the entire one week trip.
Gas for the truck from/to NJ, house rental, bait, ice and the big one fuel for the boat.
One year I came home with more money than I left with, a huge Igloo cooler full of fish steaks all after having a total blast the whole darn time.
The pic below is of another bull Dolphin fish I caught many many moons ago in the same location.
I don't know the exact weight of it or it's length, but I'm 6' 3" and the nose of it is on the deck so we figured solidly over 60".
One arm is holding onto the hard Bimini top and it was pretty hard to hold up the fish with the other arm so we figured it was around 50 lbs.
It was so big we had to cut it in half to fit it in the cooler. Unfortunately the photog (Patty) didn't get the whole fish in the pic but the seas were rough out that day and the boat was really rocking n rolling.

Good Morning Everyone. T.G.I.F. !
Currently: 70F light rain, High 76F heavy rain Low 66F
If yesterday was Thursday ;D, usual Thursday 'char' plus cleaned Jim's Bath R. carpet. I was really busy so just skimmed postings. Thanks for nests updates , local weather and all. {{{}}}
And I thought humans had screwed up relationships---Iris, Louis and New Guy ::)---I hope NG is just biding his time? but, for 'what' I don't think the situ will get any 'better'.
Jim called me late yesterday AM with some bad news. Seems his lungs aren't clearing the fluid. And, incumbent on arrival of the doc who does all this, Jim had his lungs pumped to clear the fluid. Jim said that after the procedure a full liter and then some was extracted. When the procedure was complete Jim said he
could feel his lung move back into 'place'. In the beginning, Dr. Crouse (PCP) sent Jim to ER for that very issue. Have yet to hear if his lungs are doing well enough for him to come home. I;'ll call later this AM. Had to chuckle when he said he missed Maggie...that's 'Okay'.
Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family . 'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

LANI LOLOLOL How that Mama could do that video of those munchkins without laughing is beyond me. Too cute. ;D NG looks like a keeper. Now Iris has to do some educating about brooding LOL
BL Thanks for that great description of that fishing excursion. You answered a question I was going to ask about what do you do with the fish? LOL How long does it take to land one of those tuna? Are there limits on some fish caught?
PHYL Well Jim is in the right place. Good that he could feel the improvement once the procedure was done.. (((Jim/PHYL))) Tim would miss Lulu first as well. ::) Amazing close up photography 365 Beautiful flyway this AM

Good Morning Beakers!

Phyl, praying that the doctors can take good care of Jim and fix him up so he can come home to you and Maggie! And hope you are getting some rest, sounds like you are being busy the char! I have been busy too, spring cleaning. Don't be too busy though! I'm glad you have Maggie there to help you relax now and then... A French wooly worm in the 365! Peaceful Flyway in the early dawn... 42 here, high 72 today. Love all the pictures, especially the foggy pics of the North Nest! I am always amazed at the GSB nest box just stuck there on the side of the bluffs! Wow, 4 babies at the Baltimore nest! That will be a noisy one!
BL, wow, the Tuna Mayhem sounds like an adventure! How do you haul in a 120 lb tuna? Does it take all of you?
Lani, I am so happy about Iris and NG! He is the one! Louis never brought her 4 meals in one day, he rarely even brought her one! They are speculating on their FB page that NG was maybe trying to kick Louis' egg out of the nest. But they are not sure. They were remembering when Stanley kicked an egg (or eggs) out of the nest one year when he was a bit late returning. Iris went on to lay 3 more eggs and all was well! That video of the three little boys is so cute! The guilty look on their faces is precious. I thought the mother was a bit too stern though.
E4E, the weighted water dish came last night, I don't think Sophie will be able to tip this one!
baz, oh how I would love to see a video of you stopping traffic for the goose family! It will soon be time for goose families to be traveling around here. We often have to stop and let big groups of 2 or 3 families crossing the road with youngsters! Personally, I love watching their butts wiggle as they walk slowly across the road oblivious to the traffic jam they are causing!
tsk, prayers that all goes well for Tim's cousin. I am picturing Tim sitting in a lounge chair outside smoking a cigar! With a nice tall glass of lemonade!
Lisa, sounds like you have some really good weather coming up! I have 4 more hostas to plant, I need to get that done today while the ground is soft from all the rain! What do you have planned for your flower bed this year?
Hellgate Ospreys - NG with a whopper, looks towards Iris ~ his beloved, then begins his meal at Owl Pole, hopefully he shares with her like she expects him too! ❤ And he did!

Lani You answered my question about Iris. Louis probably result of her egg. Do we have a osprey DNA expert on staff/available? ::)
Phyl I'm not sure you understand the mystery of the Musical Ear Syndrome; I don't think I know all the facts. Just as I lost Tony I went to my ENT with that problem. My two biggest "sounds" were music, instrumental only, no words (Christmas music, sports rah rah songs, oldie but goodies), and then there were sounds of water running, furnace blowing air, outdoor things happening. When someone was/is visiting I always ask if they hear . . . They don't. ENT recommended local specialist appt who gave it the name. She didn't have solution. Only told me it can be the traumatic loss and quiet and it usually goes away. No, it didn't. But I did know there was the other term Auditory Pareidolic reaction and read up a whole lot since then.
tsk That fishing trip BG and crew had sounds like something Tim and you might enjoy. I'd look into it. Just the cruising on the meeting of the water is interesting to see. Did it once up north by Canada.

E4E - I saved your marinade recipe too. I sounds like it would be good on chicken.
Lani - Love the guilty looks! If NG doesn't mind that egg belongs to someone else, and stays with Iris...he is a good guy in my eyes!
BrokenLug - Sounds like you are having a great fishing trip. :)
Phyl - Wow, that was alot of fluid on Jim's lungs. I hope he is feeling better, and can come home soon. Thanks for the 365, links and pics.
tsk - Quite a bit of rain for you. LOL, Tim would miss Lulu first.
clynn - I think we are going to stick with buying the big pots of Vinca's already made up. They do last all season. Great pics from Hellgate!
Puff and all - Morning :D

TIG Great color on Mom's tulips. Bulbs have lasted a long time. :o

BL, thank you for a great fishing story. I hope Lilbro will stop by and read it. Wahoo is a mild sweet tasting fish. Yummy! Your freezer will be well stocked. Great pics!
Phyl, Good to hear Jim's lungs are clearing of fluid. God bless him, doctor and staff, he's right where he should be. Love your posts, beautiful Fly away morning, Geese Family, and nest pics updates from your favorite cams....interesting article on Auditory pareidolia and inner monologue... keeping Jim, you and Miss Maggie in my prayers.
Tsk, NG brought a fish for Iris this morning, she wasn't hungry so off he went. Everyone at Hellgate and Iris fans/followers are praying that Iris will no longer be alone. :-* ... I could hear the three boys mama holding back. She struck just the right tone, because she knew her farming husband would just get a good laugh, as you can tell with his post about the situation. She resolved the issue and in the end you could hear her say "next time use paper" and he says respectfully "yes ma'am" :-* ... but his two siblings. LOL! Looks like he's the leader, this family will be having years of adventures. Especially since she has 4 boys to raise, and I'm including the boys father!!! LOLOLOL!! ;D
Clynn, NG brought another fish to Iris and she's having breakfast on the owl pole right now. He's not brooding, but he's guarding the egg/nest. OMG! He just kicked the egg out after bring a branch. 10:46am time. I keep trying to go back and take a snip :'( ... looks like NG can count days. :-\
Lisa, I agree with you about NG. She's sitting on her nest with NG and softly chirping to him. And he's proudly guarding her/nest. She deserves this after the lonely summers she's had to endure, losing her eggs to the ravens/crows because she had to fish for food to survive too.
Puff, Louis started mating with Iris three weeks ago. And the NG persistently this past week... so.. ???... thank you for sharing your experiences.
5/3 Good Morning, Hellgate #CHOWS! For those who have been following #HellgateOspey for 5 years or more, you know how amazing it was to see Iris incubating the egg with a mate standing by. We've waited a long time.
We believe we can say #ProjectNewMate was a success.
Iris accepts some Fish from her new beloved provider who is trying so hard....she took it to Owl Pole where she is currently devouring it! ❤ posted by Jennie Powell

Lani and all who posted - Such great news about the potential for Iris! Thanks for letting us know.
BL - what a great fishing trip and past pic as well.
Reminds me as an early 20 something I flew to San Diego, California for a visit with my Dad...and, he decided it would be "fun" for us to charter a fishing boat out of SD to catch tuna somewhere off of Baja California.
Well, i was the only female on the boat and that night I was in a bunk bed? but Dad was up all night as we headed into a ferocious storm. I do believe there was real concern if we'd make it.
Well next day or so, I was so sick to my stomach from the waves, I took so much dramamine I literally dozed in a half conscious state throughout the ordeal. Men caught lots of tuna. Myself? never took a tuna charter trip again, LOL
Been busy outside in my yard/gardens on days it's not raining....lots of rain here so far and much more to come.
Proud so far of my emerald green grass growing in nicely.
Yah, yah!...Dennis and Vi's phone just got hooked up....only took them 2 weeks since their next door's house explosion. Dang... in the interim she has been walking down to my house...she's over 87 yrs old.
Great news for them.

Bounce
Camper just assisted me with a few tasks out front. Afterward, we were sitting on the planter brick wall, resting, when a lady came by walking her Dogue de Bordeaux, on the "proper" side of the walk (on the city grass, instead of ours). We thanked her, and she said there are some folks below the hill that walk up here and let their dogs off leash. Which is probably why I had to dodge several large piles when I was mowing the other day. GRR.
KB... Hugs to you and Vi and Dennis. We did a pretty good job of ridding the planter box of the garlic chives, eventually. But I just discovered a good patch of it in the grass below the box. I guess I'll need to get at it tomorrow.
-
LANI Watched the Twitter piece 3 times LOL Good point Having 4 boys to raise LOLOL His kicking the egg out wasn't an accident? Maybe now they will mate??
KB Good news for Vi and Dennis. Kind of dangerous to be without a phone. Funny story about the charter. Barb and I went on one with Tom and Tim eons ago out about 10 miles or so out on Lake Michigan from one of the Chicago harbors. We both were puking over the side after a bit and laid down for the rest of the trip. Also then took a while to get land legs. Never again for me. ::) :P

NG and Iris defended the nest against an intruder today. And continued working on the nest and nest bowl together.
They mated and their relationship is stronger. The cam did show Iris looking down at her egg on the ground. She should lay another egg late today or tomorrow.

Oh BL,your report of your fishing excursion was just superb! I was transported to the deck of a boat in the gulf with a rod and reel, trolling through a Whole lot of Spanish! Did get a few very nice grouper on a few charters but nothing the size of your catch! Do enjoy. And be safe! Kudos to Captain Kirk!
Hot and humid day again ending with a little rain. May get a little more to-
morrow.
Yea for NG and Iris! Hopefully this twosome will bond and raise some pretty ospreylets! louis, stay home!
Phyl, what is the latest on Jim? Glad they got some of the fluid out of his lungs! You and Maggie take care!
Good news on .iris and NG! Sounds promising! Love your morning pup!
Tig you have taken good care if your mother’s tulips! Pretty shade of red.

Clynn, thanks for your morning pictures from Helgate! Also love the mass of flowers! Beautiful colors. Guess they are tulips!
Lani, I took the cpcp in yesterday and they fixed it! Last night I thought the air flow was pretty light but went to sleep. This am I found there was no air! Called them this am and said I would need A new machine! The girl gave me a lot of lip and I said I would be in around 1! When I got there she said she was giving me a new model 10 to replace the model 11 I had had for about a year! I asked her what the difference was in the machines and shed they thought this would be better for me! Her. Responses irked me but home we came and installed it in the bedroom! A quick google told me the 11 has more online reports available. At any rate I called back and spoke with the manager who was the one who fixed it yesterday. He said I could access sleep reports on line with this and told me how! I was a tad angry and said that even tho I was stumbling around with a cane I was not senile and. That this information should have been shated with me when .i furst got the machine! Well, I fe,t better! Lol! Now to see how this works tonight! Btw Lani he says they have beeb having a lir if orobkems with tge resmed 11. Also, medicare and insurance have paid for mine and .i noticed you said Mike bought one.
New plants are in the ground and I had the sprinkler system turned back on to get them watered in and lo and behold, rain! Between the two I think they are wet enough!
Seds all! See you caturday!

Us 4 idiots have firmly decided to dedicate this evening's outing in your honor Karen.
We got at least 100 patrons here heartily cheering and toasting you they got no clue . :) KG.
tsk
BL Thanks for that great description of that fishing excursion.
You answered a question I was going to ask about what do you do with the fish?
How long does it take to land one of those tuna?
Depends on it's size and it's desire not to be dinner. ;)
Seriously the really big tuna can take up to an hour from hooked to on deck on a lap belt.
This trip can really kick the stuff out of you as the fish get younger. ;D
Pole tip and line always set up high and tight - set hook huge pole bend - fish on - pole from boat into waist belt - pole tip lowered a bit - let it run - reel screaming out line - back kicks in pulling up on the rod reeling like you were scrambling eggs - lather rinse repeat for one hour.
Very quickly you realize you've firmly planted your feet on the aft deck of a 24' Grady White. 8)
Your feet, legs, spine, and hopefully brain & inner ear are standing on a pitching, bobbing, rolling piece of plywood in the middle of the ocean with a fish that can pull you out of it.
What the _ am I doing out here.
At 1st your adrenaline of course courses with the 1st offshore fish on _ then your brain, arms, legs and whole body start to really kick in.
Your forearms seriously start talking to you at the 20 minute mark.
The wake up time, being out in even the most calm kind weather environment , being in a small craft will kick the ..
It's grueling but someone has to do it. ;D
Us well seasoned and oiled Squids are going to go for go for a walk about on the warm sand of a OBX beach on a Friday night have a few pints and stogies. :)
And do it all over again tomorrow because the forecast here just called for severe catching. 8)

Severe catching
Lolol

{{{Kb}}} oh my what a fishing trip! Glad to hear {{{Dennis and Vi's}}} phone is connected! What an ordeal it's been for them... glad your grass is growing nicely. ;D
Tig, ;D
Tsk, I've went back and looked at NG digging at the nest bowl, and he did it on purpose. Others have said the same thing in the chat room. He understands what's going on and knew it wasn't his... and now he's keeping close to Iris and bringing her fish. So far I haven't seen her having to do her own fishing for the past two or three days. Louis has not been to the nest again.
SED Karen, Mike bought his own mask, it was going to take too long to get a new one through Medicare. He doesn't like to deal with Medicare or the Home Care Company that he bought his first cpap mask with... He doesn't like having to go through hoops just to get it repaired or replaced. After he gets a new one he does send the old to Medicare or Home Care Co. to see if he can get a refund or replacement which usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. I hope all goes well with the machine tonight.... well glad you got the plants in before the rain. They'll settle in nicely after all the moisture. ;D
Good night!

Phyl, how are you and Jim (and Maggie) doing this morning? Been thinking about all of you...Hope Jim is improving. And you and Maggie are taking care...
Lani, oh that sleeping puppy...Like you, I am so overjoyed about Iris and NG! I remember when Stanley kicked an egg or two out of the nest one year! NG seems like a good provider, he knew how to win Iris's heart! Bring her a fish! Now we wait for eggs, then little ospreyletts! I can't wait! We just can't get enough of them after we have waited for so long! 2014 was the last time there were chicks in the nest of Iris and Stanley. Was it the next year that the hailstorm damaged all of them? And the next year that Stanley didn't return? Lele was in 2018, the last one...
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/hellgate-osprey-cam-timeline/
BL, wow on your fishing trip! Good eats for sure! Do you all take fish home to eat? Severe catching, great cartoon from Lani!
Lisa, I am thinking I will put some vincas out by the mailbox. The rabbits don't seem to bother them! It's raining pretty hard right now, Maybe this afternoon I can get my new hostas planted and pull up some of the Lilies of the Valley. Those lilies spread like crazy, they want to take over my hosta bed!
tig, beautiful roses! Your Mom is smiling!
tsk, I googled the picture of the flowers I posted yesterday morning, they are Ranunculus. Never heard of them, they are planted as bulbs. They are so pretty! Here is some info from The Spruce: https://www.thespruce.com/ranunculus-7104375
Norwich Cathedral Peregrine Falcons - 4 chicks!

I've fallen a bit behind so trying to 'catch-up". So glad the Beakers who suffered that house blowing-up are able
to rebuild
KAREN- I've heard how frustrating CPap is---have you checked out "Inspire' in plants ?
BL-that's some tuna, sounds like a great fishing trip
LANI- LOL joke for BL is a good one
CLYNN-just read the wonderful news about Iris and New Guy! Yes, egglets in the nest---soon! Thanks for Norwich Cath. looking good there.
Maggie is still here and good as ever. Getting
a bit 'bossy' too. LOL. There's some confusion about Jim's discharge
TIG- to quote everyone, "Beautiful roses." ;)
Yes. TSK, hopefully Jim will come home today. I bought fresh bananas the other day and some of his fave food ---I hope the bananas last . LOL

Morning all.
clynn - Ranunculus are my favorite flower of all. I first learned of them while living in CA. (70's and 80's) They grow wild there and many are sold as cut flowers.
I once tried to grow one in my wall planter box here but didn't survive.

Lani - Oh no, a female intruder, and Iris' egg got knocked out by NG? Haha, the fishing funny!
kb - Great news about Vi and Dennis' phone.
karen - Did you get any rain? Yesterday was cool, and today even cooler with the rain.
Phyl - Glad to hear that Jim is due home today.
clynn - Sounds like a good plan. I have never had rabbit bother my Vinca's either.
tsk - Morning :)

BL.... I'm somewhat familiar with Grady White from watching the Chit Show on YouTube at Black Point Marina and the "boat fail" videos out of Haulover. Lol.

clynn The Spruce Nice varied information = always read it.
Found out the stores in the area (Chgo) are just finding out about bananas. I HAVE to have a banana every day to get started. Tea, too, banana and tea. I digress. . .
I greatly dislike grocery shopping. Mostly once a week, sometimes 10 days, even two weeks. Hard to get fresh milk and bananas on that schedule. Some stores now know what I knew - they sell their bananas with little chef-type caps on the end of the bananas. I learned back in the day - Keep the bananas in a plastic bag covering the top of the banana. Seal/twist the top ends in baggie. There is some kind of gas that escapes that needs to stay to prevent them from turning brown. They last a week at least before the change starts. 10 days if you buy them slightly green. Better that storing them in the fridge. When I buy a bunch, some ready and some greenish, I also grab a plastic big from dispenser in the department and put it in my purse for when I'm home.

Good Caturday Morning Beakers
A little bit of rain this morning - forecast for another shot in the afternoon - currently 60 and heading to 70. We got 1.25 inches on Thursday - one of the biggest rains this spring for us. Forecast is more strong storms for the next week.
Work has been busy, garden center is fully stocked and lots of people buying. 10 day forecast shows lows above 40, so we have most likely had our last freeze of the season.
Hawaii has been having an increase in earthquake activity on the eastern rift zone, which has prompted the Park Service to close some roads and trails to the SE area of the Park.
Island is still active, but volume is down to the point that it's expected to signal stoppage, but the ground rise is still occurring, so the experts are not in agreement on what is to be expected. Meanwhile another volcano on the Eastern part of Iceland is showing signs of new activity.
Baltimore bridge removal is progressing well - yesterday they remove a large piece of structure from the deck of the ship, revealing that the support pillar is embedded into the side of the ship.

Good Morning and welcome to caturday! Thanks for all the posts.
Lisa, got a little rain but no real cook down! Humid as all get out again! Not a typical May!
Have not seen E 23 for a few days so he might have truly flown the coop, will keep checking in!
Cpap machine working ok! Do not know why Mike has. So much troubke with medicare. I have never had issues like that. They check my record and see mt eligibility and viola! Instance fix or replacement! I looked at inspire which is an implant and at my age do not want to undergo any unnecessary surgery!
Bl! Hope you are hauling in a big one as I type! Fish as long as you can!
Clynn, did you get the escape issue solved?
-
Oldguy - Loved the close up views of the bridge work....thanks.
I remember earlier on them saying all 22 crew members would stay on board. I assume they are off by now but when?...and maybe i shouldn't assume. They said they had provisions for weeks if I remember, but weeks have gone by now I think.
-
KB - last I heard, the crew remains on board, because they best know how to maintain the ship's systems.
-
KB - last I heard, the crew remains on board, because they best know how to maintain the ship's systems.
Thanks much, tig..I did wonder...I suppose they have extra provisions brought to them if need be.
Uufda, a long time to sit on a non moving ship though.
-
It was explained shortly after the accident, that the crew are all from India, so they do not have visas to debark the ship. What happens after the ship is freed from the bridge and needs to go to a dock for repairs has not been explained. Repairs could take a year or more. So I assume that arrangements would be made to allow them to get to an airport for them to fly home or to transfer to another ship traveling outbound from the US.
-
I can't get over Ollie's comprehension of language.
If I want him to leave me all I have to say is "I'm going in the shower"..
I've never used that word in association with a bath...he HATES that word.
As he's so ever present, aware, etc. he somehow associates the shower water that he never sees with water for his bath.
Smarty pants.

It's amazing how much they know. Even Rosie, who visits once or twice a year, knows all my routines. :D
Thanx OldGuy

Kb, beautiful Ginger ;D
{{{Phyl, Jim, Miss Maggie}}} Fun watching Cuckoo hunting for a tasty snack! Talons crossed Jim's able to come home. Praying all of you will rest better when he does. :-*
Clynn, cute Caturday pics and sweet Falcon chicks.... my heart is so happy seeing Iris at her nest majority of the time again and now, the nest doesn't look lonely anymore. Talons crossed for another egg that's acceptable to NG... Ranunculus has gorgeous blooms, they look like good ground cover too. It's a shame its toxic to people/pets. Sadie loves to taste strange things. Two days ago, she dug up one of my potted roses and ate a fertilizer spike. She's never done that before. So far she's okay. :-\
Puff, thanks for the banana storage tips. Mike eats one every morning, he doesn't like them when they turn. I don't either.
Hi Tsk, Lisa, Tig, Kb have a good day! ;D
Oldguy, great story of the history of the scenic railway in Dubuque, IA. It's an amazing build in the 1800's... The view is great today, but can you imagine how stunning it was in the 1800's! Thanks for links and update on Hawaii and Iceland, and Baltimore bridge work. I'll check out what's going on.... Poor General, I got a kick out of Claire doing most of the talking and the vet would only say yes and agree. ;D... awww the rescued kittens, I read further and see moms were caught too and spayed. Bless them :-*
Karen, glad your cpap worked ;D

Puff - We eat a banana a day, too. I have started hanging mine on a fruit hanger, instead of laying them in the fruit bowl with the apples. The apples seem to make them turn faster.
oldguy - Many thanks for all the videos, and love your Ahh, its finally Caturday pic.
karen - It has been nothing but rain all day, and very chilly. I had to turn the heat back on!
Phyl - Has Jim made it home?
Lani - You have a good weekend, too.
Have a good night, everyone :)

Such a busy day - time to catch up before I run out and grab a pizza for tonight as Tim ate the leftovers I planed for dinner, for lunch today sigh. ::)
CLYNN Kitty very comfy in Buddha's lap LOL Do you know I have tried twice now to plant lilies of the valley in a place where I don't mind if they spread - no dice!!! WOW it has been longer than I thought at Hellgate for a productive nest. This year has to be a winner.
Thanks for the Ranunculus update. No bulbs for me! Pretty sure vincas are on the list of annuals to plant and are rabbit proof.
PHYL So did Jim get to come home today? New meds??
PUFF It made national news the other day when Trader Joes raised the price of a banana from 19 cents to 23 cents!!! They had been 19 cents FOREVER. It is still cheaper there than my 2 other groceries - Maybe Aldi's would be cheaper but I don't have one close.
OLDGUY The close-ups of the bridge project is unbelievable. So much work to be done. New kitty TV channels LOL Oh, those kitten rescues. God bless the man who does those. Hard job. VIP cat ;D Thanks for the info on the crew of the Dali. For sure under the circumstances they could not live a year on that ship.
LANI Loved your Simon good morning ;D WOW who would expect Sadie to do that. Luckily all OK. I noticed that too. Dr Kim's only line was "yes" LOLOL
Tim and I got "his" garden planted today. He had prepped the soil a while ago so I took the 2 tomato plants and separated what turned out to be 30 onions and planted them and he took his 5 pea plants and 2 cukes and 3 pepper plants and got those in the ground. Tomorrow, cut dead blooms off the lilac and put mesh over my black eyed susan patch where the deer ate them to the ground last year! Never happened in 15 previous years . :o

Well---my guy is home, showered and shampooed in his fave set of comfy sweats. Resting in his Lazy-Boy with his feet up.
Eating his favorite fruit---banana. Looks great but is weak from his ordeal and no activity.
I am making thin crust turkey pepperoni/mushroom , veggie mozzarella pizza and a chicken, alfredo/spinach w/Kalamata olives pizzas. A green
salad of romaine hearts, spinach and baby kale w/ romas. And, vino.
TSK- No new meds. But, some adjustments in the ones he's currently taking. Old time kitties for Caturday -sweet
OG- tks for 'the bridge' info om Dali crew/photos; kitty rescues Ditto TSK God bless those who rescue kitties (pups, all wildlife/ocean life); LOL 'Ahhh...finally Caturday.'
LISA- I luv bananas but they don't even like me; my fave fruit are nectarines (aka peaches w/o the fuzz); luv peaches too; Jim always has a
banana daily. Rained here most of today as well--had set for the furnace but never turned on.
LANI- Simon AM LOL ; All this week I didn't get but 2hrs a night for one reason or another. Last night I fell asleep while eating dinner (it was 11pm) I had wrestled with a jammed printer for hours and then presto !
KAREN- so glad Cpap is working for you; can see why Inspire might not be good idea. Pets to Piper
T40- missed you / posts for Caturday

You both should get a good nights sleep tonight :-*

tsk Looks like we're in for another deluge. BTW when I got outside today I remember to check the gauge - 1 1/4 inch just for the Thursday night.
Lani - New and improved comes at a price - your sanity. I mentioned this month I'm dealing with new computer and it has HP11. I tried yesterday, all day yesterday, to get what I wanted. Took me through lunch and dinner late. But you feel so good when you hit the jackpot! What simple unimportant thing was it??? In the process if transferring info from old to new machine I lost my screensaver.
(Picture this - sky blue background with an eagle soaring, carrying a newly caught fish, wings from one side to the other on the screen. Taking it home for dinner!) No clouds, no trees - just the eagle and the beautiful blue sky. Had that screen since my first computer. I was determined!!!
I know you know I used to teach business ed to juniors and seniors. I tried the positive approach with the kids and their machines. I'd keep telling the kids - Don't let the machine win. Well, computers were new to the Chgo system back then, 1990? And technology was not my major, but we wanted the intercity kids to be primed/prepared. And, so here I sit, still for hours sometimes, making sure the machine doesn't win.

Good Morning Everyone. Blessed Sunday.
Currently: 63F partly cloudy , High 82F partly sunny, Low 63F
Thank you everyone...esp Tsk, Karen, Lani, Eagles and Lisa
Jim has note from his hospt. Doc to take to work
when he reports tomorrow. Work duties as tolerated.
This time of year Jim sets the peanuts out in feeder off deck during the week. And weekends it’s my turn. So, I’m up early to set out peanuts for the squirrels ---if I leave them out all night the raccoons will eat them and when those are gone they;ll hunt them as in dig up all the potted plants search ing for the remainder.
LANI- kittens in double feeder bowl, Awwwww
TKS- my gardening ‘thumb’ isn’t that ‘green’ so hats off and congrats to you/Tim---anyone who’s works their own veggie plot.

Phyl, glad to hear that Jim is home, hope both of you are getting some rest! Work tomorrow? Hoping he is just supervising! ;DThe 365 is cuckoo! Love it! I am sure the squirrels appreciate you putting peanuts out for them. The Blue Jays here love peanuts too they take them one at a time up to the bush to shell and eat They remind me of thieves!
Lani, love the kittens sleeping in their food dish! I got the weighted bowl for the cat's water, Sophie still plays in the water but hasn't been able to tip it over so far!
tsk, kudos to Tim for getting his garden planted! I think I will plant vincas around the mailbox this year. I used to plant marigolds, which I always thought critters didn't like but as soon as one bud flowers it gets eaten!
oldguy, great video on the Dali. Wow, what a huge mess! Hope you did good at cards last night!
Puff, I would be in the insane asylum over electronic issues if I didn't have Erin!
Lisa, I have a fruit basket with a banana hook attached! Works great!

The Oscar Mayer mansion in Evanston, Illinois was abandoned for over 10 years before being purchased in 2016. The 7,400-square-foot, chateauesque-style mansion was built in 1901 and was home to Oscar Mayer Sr. from 1927 to 1965. After sitting for years in need of care, the beautiful Oscar Mayer Mansion in Evanston, Illinois had new life breathed into it!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING
PUFF I so admire your tenacity!!!
LANI Sweet good night photo. Perfect fit. ;D
PHYL Crafted owls. Someone had fun. :) WOW Back to work so soon - as tolerated tho. The cuckoos 365 calling reminded me yesterday of cardinals doing that - one in our backyard and one a few houses down responding ;) Indian legends make for good stories. ;D
CLYNN Good news on the water dish ;) ;) The list says that rabbits will not eat marigolds. Mine get eaten as well if in the ground but not in pots. Was not familiar with the Oscar Mayer mansion - WOW Wonder how long that took? When does the deck roof man come?
-
bounce
Clynn - wow, on the mansion
Buenos Dias and happy Cinco de Mayo!
I think Baseball, Burrito Bowl and a frozen margarita are on the menu today! Followed by mowing the grass.

One more follow up story re the machine. . .Ton's daughter & son-in-law own E2Services, Inc. They are providers to several clients. Whenever Ton could see my distress he would always say call Sheryl/Scott. But, I did have determination and an inkling of what might work. I also felt quilty that they'd use their time when someone on contract was paying $$$$$$. I had an OK to pay them off with some homemade mushroom soup (Scott's fav). It was fascinating and instructive to watch as they'd buddy up and let me watch, or try to watch as they zip zip zip and fix in a minute.
They did finally give me my tech's contact info, someone close by to help me. Also, if there was something the new guy needed (Tom) they'd tell him what to do and help. If they trusted him, I trust him. Ton's son is also in the tech field and a consultant/representative for several corps, some international. Also "Anthony", he just took over Ton's computer and would spot problems and even fix them before Ton knew there was a problem. Poor Ton - talking about being in a different time zone - he'd come to me when he needed to even just to send an email. I'd wait until I hit the wall - more often then I'd want to admit to.
It's a whole new world out there, and getting more and more involved. When I really get into a "spot", and I do and just did when I ruined my comp last month, I just open up the Forum and watch and listen to the birds. . .RELAX!

tsk - I have to laugh at Tim eating the leftovers for lunch. It reminded me of something my ex-SIL would do, cause of my BIL. She would put a note on the container.... DO NOT EAT!
Phyl - Glad to hear that Jim is home and resting. I hope he does take it easy at work, and around the house. Your pizza sounded delish.
Puff - I like your determination to not let the machine win!
Lani - Aww, sweet pic of the kitties curled up in the food bowls.
clynn - Wow, the Oscar Mayer house is gorgeous after the much needed weeding. Yes, that is similar to the fruit basket that I have!

Looky here - Since we recently had a discussion of drying green onions, which then brought up other topic of our grown spices, and since mention was also made of The Spruce - I'll bet I'm not the only one who will want to read this. . .

Good Morning! Humid. Again! had strong thunderstorm warnings last night but only a little rain! As the system passed over it kind of dissipated!
Glad to read that Jim is settled in! Hopefully he. Willpace himself at wirk!
Thanks for the OM mansion house pictures, Clynn! I have seen that house! Worked in Evanston for a year and loved all the old mansions thee and elsewhere on the North Shore! Fun to live in such a house but the. Cost of maintenance, heating and cooling would be outrageous! Think one would also truly need an upstairs, downstairs maid!
Lilies of the valleys in France are a major French tradition dating back to King George 1X. Had them in Chicago but I have never seen them in the south! Nice ground cover!
O sightings of E23 today, or the parents! M brought a squirrel to the nest and when little E did not show to eat, he and the misses flew off with it for a snack! Wish him a safe and happy life! HoPe he stays safe in Florida storms and that he perfects his fishing skills !
-
PUFF Good to know you have tech helpers IF you need them ;) ;) Excellent article on drying herbs. I love a visual ;D
LISA I have to do the same " Do not eat" if it is for a gathering and I make it ahead..LOL
KAREN Cost to maintain a mansion like that is so true. Then add on the property taxes!!! $25,000 and up!!! Mostly UP :o

Baz, what a beautiful marina.... Oh I wish there was a video of your adventure with Mother Goose and babies... I bet it seemed longer than 30 minutes! What a great deed for the day! :-*
Lani and TSK, I'm not sure if it was clear about that marina... The picture of that marina I posted is not anywhere near me - it's the marina that BL posted he was using up around Hatteras on the Outer Banks of NC, when he caught that great big mahi-mahi!! :D It is a gorgeous place, but I'm not anywhere near there. I just used BL's posted link to the marina he was using this past week, and it was a live cam of that marina, so I took a screen shot, with the joke caption to "Find BrokenLug." ;D
Well, I'm posting as I read - have several days of posts to catch up on... but I see Iris layed an egg last Thursday!!! :-* :-* :-* Thanks, Lani, for posting about that! Love the pic you posted of the Happy Couple! ;) :D :-* :-* I'm not going to count any calendar days - and I'm not sending them to the Maury Povich Show to do paternity testing and announcing who the daddy is!! ;D ;D ;D So I'm going to read on now, and maybe learn if Iris has laid any more eggs since then. :)

Clynn, a good water dish... beautiful mansion. I looked it up, it has a stunning staircase from 2nd floor. I would love that, beautiful first floor.
Tig, it's a good day to Enjoy! 8)
{{{Puff}}} :-* .. Yesterday, Aly told me to save Mac Sonoma update when she comes home to visit in July. She said, she'd do her laptop update at the same time. She has a "honey do" list. We'll carry the wrought iron furniture off the patio and set it up under the trees to repaint, she'll replace ceiling vent filters, help me with the garage door openers. Mike must press too hard on the buttons and I have to replace them. I'm excited for her visit, we'll have a good time. ;D ... thanks for Dry Herbs link. I love the smell! ;D
It's a beautiful Sunday morning in Albie land! :-*

Tsk, NG brought a fish for Iris this morning, she wasn't hungry so off he went. Everyone at Hellgate and Iris fans/followers are praying that Iris will no longer be alone. :-* ... I could hear the three boys mama holding back. She struck just the right tone, because she knew her farming husband would just get a good laugh, as you can tell with his post about the situation. She resolved the issue and in the end you could hear her say "next time use paper" and he says respectfully "yes ma'am" :-* ... but his two siblings. LOL! Looks like he's the leader, this family will be having years of adventures. Especially since she has 4 boys to raise, and I'm including the boys father!!! LOLOLOL!! ;D
Clynn, NG brought another fish to Iris and she's having breakfast on the owl pole right now. He's not brooding, but he's guarding the egg/nest. OMG! He just kicked the egg out after bring a branch. 10:46am time. I keep trying to go back and take a snip :'( ... looks like NG can count days. :-\
Lisa, I agree with you about NG. She's sitting on her nest with NG and softly chirping to him. And he's proudly guarding her/nest. She deserves this after the lonely summers she's had to endure, losing her eggs to the ravens/crows because she had to fish for food to survive too.
Puff, Louis started mating with Iris three weeks ago. And the NG persistently this past week... so.. ???... thank you for sharing your experiences.
5/3 Good Morning, Hellgate #CHOWS! For those who have been following #HellgateOspey for 5 years or more, you know how amazing it was to see Iris incubating the egg with a mate standing by. We've waited a long time.
We believe we can say #ProjectNewMate was a success.
Iris accepts some Fish from her new beloved provider who is trying so hard....she took it to Owl Pole where she is currently devouring it! ❤ posted by Jennie Powell

Lani, oh my, NG gave the "egg-by-Louis" the boot from the nest! Thank goodness, Iris still likes cooing with NG, and he's sticking around and bringing fish love offerings to her regularly!! :-* :-* :-* I guess NG didn't need "no stinking Maury Povich Show" to prove who that egg-daddy was!! ;D ;D 8) Okay... bring on the new clutch, Iris! It has to be love between her and NG, and I don't think Louis will be getting any more time with Iris!! Yay! LOL. And all's well that ends well for all! Talons crossed, and time will tell the tale! I see ospreylets in iris and NG's nest future. :)

Puff - Thanks for the link to the drying herbs article.

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
(https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/spring-5-1548458035.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*)
I'm finally caught up on reading 3 days or so of posts in The Beak. :D
Yesterday I walked 29 minutes, and today I walked 34 minutes. My bum right knee is not happy, so I'm not pushing it. ::)
Yesterday, while I was out running some errands, and was stopped at a stoplight, a large bird starting flying towards me, and I was watching to see if I could make out what it was before the light turned green. It was too far away, and up pretty high - way above the tall treetops - but getting closer, and I was thinking it might be a heron or egret because it was too big to be one of our usual kinds of hawks around here. Well, it finally got closer, and I could see so much white from below, and then it flew smack dab right over my car - an osprey! with a good-sized fish on board! LOL, the fish and the osprey had the same heading. Natch. ;) I loved being able to watch it go over me, fish lined up in the talons for least resistance. :-* :-* :-* I wish I could've seen where it went with that fish, to maybe discover a nest, because it was definitely on a mission. If that fish was just for that osprey, it could've easily stopped to eat it in any of several massive trees it flew past. :-* :-* :-*
Phyl, good news on Jim being home. I hope he feels better and better each day.
BL, what a great week you and the guys have had!!
Karen, glad your replacement CPAP is working. Give 'em hell! ;D 8)
Lisa, (https://media.tenor.com/y1dFDG4aCu4AAAAj/waving-hi.gif)
Zippo is tired of looking at my back while I'm at my computer. She is calling to me to come over and "kiss kiss." LOL. :-* :-* So I'm going to comply, and then watch the Madrid Open men's final match - on my DVR. So many unexpected happenings in that tourney this year. No one would've guessed at the beginning of the tournament who the men's finalists would turn out to be this year. The women's final yesterday was a stellar 3-set match, with Swiatek managing to survive over Sabalenka - the number 1 and number 2 women players in the world... an excellent match, and either could've won it. Looking forward to the next tourney, in Rome, coming up - and will get to see my boyfriend play again, there, if nothing crops up healthwise before then. And keeping fingers crossed for him to be able to make it back to Roland Garros afterward (to play The French Open), though he has not made any definite announcement about that yet... taking it one tourney at a time... a goodbye tour, that I hope will last for a while longer for him. :D :-*
Take care, All. :)

Cool, a Chiropractor adjusts the neck of a giraffe....
I never did animals btw...but, a colleague who I went to school with moved to Israel, had 9 children, I know his wife too from LA, and is Both a human and animal Chiropractor.
Unfortunately, 3 of their sons have been deployed. 2 injured but good enough to be re-deployed at the end of May. No matter how you feel about this they want it to end asap.
I've been outside all day: use various tools to edge all the brick lining my gardens in back anyway...have to do it every other year or so. Long knife etc. The weed whip doesn't quite get it all.
-
BAZI I don't think I was confused. I knew it was BL's. Nice catch on the osprey. Love how they carry as well - parallel grab ;D
LANI LOLOLOL Cinco De Mayo pup. Prompted by your comments, I saw the video of the interior of the mansion. They just don't make staircases and moldings like that anymore...The stain glass on the stair landing! :o I love that you are making a list of chores you and Aly can both work on together. Half the man hours to do a project ;) ;)
KB Wonder how they knew the giraffe was having issues. Maybe did an Xray? Bet your yard is looking beautiful.

I've found this is so very true. And, I love that.
CLYNN- 'keep peace in your heart' ;) I almost bought one of those wire banana hanger/fruit bowl. Instead I found my fresh
fruit keeps better in fridge on air circulating grid in veggie draw. Go figure. :P
:o Hoodoos in the Bisti Badlands, New Mexico. Oh my The Oscar Mayer mansion in Evanston, Illinois before/after, for sale for only $3,000,000. Why write it up for me.
Sure don't and never will build them like that anymore . Thanks.
TSK- luv the daisy this AM. Jim also has a sinus infection with drainage. So he has antibiotics and such. How wild...I just bought some marigolds this afternoon to
set in out inwhite planter on the deck floor between the chairs. Plus 4 other items to plant in my cobalt blue pots. Next weekend we'll be out drinking our coffee and breakfasting .
PUFF- determination ;)
LISA-pretty AM today
KAREN- to be sure the cost of main tance and such these days would cost a fortune in and of itself; Be safe E23 :-*
LANI- thanks for the Royal Albie update and snaps---so glad LGL came back to feed TF and wings are getting new markings; Oh goodness! NG kicked out Louis's egg in the nest. NG has made a clear statement. ;) Sounds like you and Aly will be very busy in July. Go Girl Power!
Poor giraffe.... :(

Kb, interesting about the giraffe. It looked very contented while being helped. A real sweetie :-* ... prayers for your friends in Israel.
Baz, what a cool osprey sighting!! ;D... Kisses for Zippo! :-*
Iris is restless on the nest tonight. She's been moving in a circle every other minute or in different directions and fussing with the nest bowl for the past two hours.

tsk, I will be going to the greenhouse this week to get my coleys and other flowers too! That is what I always use my birthday $$$ for! Dad always gave us a dollar for each year old we were and Mom threw in $50. She covers both now, and that is a nice sum of $$$$ for flowers! The ground is good and soft from all the rain, but not muddy! I can't wait to get there and start filling the cart!
Phyl, ahh, the cottonwood trees! Lots of those in Decorah! My grandparents had 2 big ones at the end of their sidewalk, many moons ago. You always have interesting articles! the coffee and the blue hole, both very interesting. The NatGeo article needs a membership to open, but I found a similar article on the History Channel: https://www.history.com/news/secret-societies-freemasons-knights-templar
Lani, just read your good night post and you were right!! Iris laid an egg at 10:01 last night! And this one will be NG's for sure! Happy, happy, happy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zElBeBya6ws Thanks for the Royal Alby news, they are just starting to get their black coloring! But they still have a lot of fluffy white!
tsk, our sister (me, Cathy, Becky and Jennifer) group loves touring old mansions, and you are so right, they just don't make them like that anymore.
baz, hope your boyfriend makes it to Rome and then to the French Open! You got to see an osprey up close, and with a fish! I remember having lunch with friends at a restaurant by the mall lake, and seeing one of our osprey's dive into the lake and come up with a big orange fish (koi?)! I checked the WF nest cam, and sure enough, the male came to the nest with the orange fish! Awww, Zippo wants to look at you!
Phyl, oh no, Jim has a sinus infection! Hope it clears up quickly! If you are putting marigolds on your deck, then I know it's not the squirrels that ate mine! Has to be the rabbits! Or maybe the chipmunks. Do you have chipmunks?

Boy, the lilacs around here are just starting to smell wonderful!..home from a walk with Ollie man. Saw another loose dog up ahead, but this time was able to turn around and walk home a different way without seeing it again. Whew.
Sis on her way to stop in before her hopefully last eye exam. She got a special kind of cataract surgery in both eyes where she won't need bifocals. Forgot the name of the type of surgery. They have been using UV light in her post op appointments to make fine adjustments and then they seal it up. Mucho bucks over what Medicare would have paid...After she explained the surgery and she was awake for 9 minutes for each eye, I said nope, nada, not for me even though I'm Medicare approved. After all, they put dogs to sleep for their cataract surgery....LOL
Have a Happy Bird Day, Clynn.
Later.

Happy birthday Clynn! May your inner child be full of joy and ready for another year of adventure! ;D :-*

Back growing up in Kaiser Steel Mine at Eagle Mountain, CA. We lived on Cottonwood Drive and at our house we had so many cottonwood trees, the 'company' planted...Dad & Mom hated them...esp. in spring and fall. Dad'd trim them with a hand saw and let 'the boys' Larry/Dan build a fort. It lasted 'till it began to come loose...then...'Good Bye'.
It was fun!
I need to call Jim while he's on meal break and see how my fella's doing.
CLYNN- :o that's a nice 'haul' for birthday. The Kids have a party planned for you?
You and TSK will be in gardener's heaven. Thanks for update on Iris and NG.
I don't have rabbits anymore---don't know what happened to them. Jim sees them here---frequently though. They use to visit the deck steps and eat the wild strawberries
---berries still here though.
Don't have voles or chipmunks any more either. Thanks to that )&^%$#!_ big yellow/black Jacquard patterned snake.
I use 'Repels All' to keep my squirrels in check.
TSK- 'girls' lunch out. Sounds like some fun going on. ;) Which restaurant for today's repast?
LISA- I was looking for the white/ pink centered Vinca yesterday. Again I forgot these aren't set out 'till Mother's Day. Thanks
LANI- sweet BD greeting for CLynn.
Well, best get busy.

Hi Lisa, Eagles, Oldguy, Karen :)
Tsk, great gift from SIL! .... we'll stream the Osprey doc tonight.... have a great lunch with the girls!
Clynn, what a great gift from you mom! You'll have fun at the greenhouse! I'll buy my plants next weekend after Mike returns from a couple of trips. And we'll go together.... oh my NG on top of Iris at the owl pole. ::) .... I'm so happy for Iris! A mate, eggs to brood, a new year for her. I pray for a successful season. :-* ... I'm looking forward to hearing what fun events your family has planned for you today! ;D
Phyl, there goes the Cottonwood seeds. When we lived in Kansas, they would fill our pool, AC, it was always a mess.... interesting science links.... I can't access NG link, but I assume Freemason, Knights Templar.. Mike's great grandfather was a Freemason, and granddad a Mason.... sending good wishes to Jim for an easy first day back at work.... I use "Repel All" too, and it works with the squirrels and rabbits.

A classic vanilla buttermilk cake layered with strawberry curd and topped with strawberry cream cheese frosting.
OMG Iris!! You don't even know how much this made me smile and tears in my eyes like Bazi!! She deserves to have a baby this year and a good mate to treat her right! ;D ;D ;D
-
LISA Love those beautiful tulips. Wish they lasted longer once cut. I love fresh flowers in my house ;D
PHYL Thanks for the article on the Knights, etc..lots of good stuff to read. Had only heard of the first 3. One of my girl group Maureen fell 9 weeks ago and had surgery to "repair" a shattered tibia plateau. Still non weight-bearing. She/husband moved from my town 2 yrs ago to live closer to her dtr and grandchildren. She lives in Mokena Il - 50 minutes away 90% by expressway. We hadn't seen her since before Xmas. We had a GREAT time. We each brought something and she ordered a "sandwich and sides" tray from Jewel. Pam brought a cake and we sang happy birthday to Linda whose B-day was last month. ;D We really needed a catch up time together.
KB Stunning egret. Hope you had a good visit with Sis. Eye surgery is so scary for me. I can still wait a bit for cataract surgery. Perfect gift from Sis and hope her eyes are now in perfect shape.
LANI Great card for CLYNN :) The close-ups of those baby sloths are so precious. Looks like the last one is smiling LOL
CLYNN Sounds like a perfect b-day ;D I sure wish we could attract wrens. Barb has them in her yard where they nest. Cool Utah Hwy. :o
BAZI WOW Love all those cake choices ;D The chocolate/chocolate for me!!! Chocolate/strawberry next LOL
-
Lori, thanks for the Birthday wishes and the Buttermilk strawberry cake! Yum! I will share it with everyone...except for tsk, who wants chocolate chocolate! ;D ;D Many of us are oh so happy for Iris, it's been a long time since we have had babies in that nest! NG seems like a wonderful mate for her, he has brought her so many fish, and is helping her brood the egg. She hasn't been pampered like this since Stanley... 10 years ago!
tsk, I brought Mom a wren house a couple of years ago for Christmas. I think she had wrens last year but not so far this year. Glad to hear you had a good time with the girls!
baz, what's funny is that I rarely rarely have cash burning a hole in my pocket anymore! I deposit it, and pay the charge with the $$' Love those rewards. ::) I guess it all turns out to be the same thing though, I can't wait to spend it! Thank you for all the birthday wishes!

some bounce
KB and all. I bought spikes and marigolds for my 3 large clay pots that are beginning to spall. Hmmm.. Also... Portulaca Moss rose for near the sidewalk wall. Wave petunia and various vines for the hanging baskets. Coleus ruby slippers and inferno for the front planter... those colors will match our top siding inset which is brick red.
I'm pooped from cutting just one section of grass. My new to me allergies kicked in again yesterday.
Camper went to get us some Taco Bell.
I'm having a piece of Clynn's cake. 8)
Watching our Wolves later ...

CLYNN I HAD a wren house and the opening was chewed to a wider opening by something!!! Probably a squirrel..
TIG Nice variety of plantings ;D I do a pot of moss roses -I love them in sun.
-
Phyl - Interesting read on the 5 secret societies changed the world—from behind closed doors. Hope Jim is feeling good.
kb - Beautiful egret! Very pretty flowers from Pam.
Lani - Thanks for the pics from TRR. Love the one with the leaves on it's head.
clynn - Yay for NG on brooding the egg! Hope you had fun at the greenhouse and at Applebee's!
((Lori)) - Clynn's cake looks and sounds delicious.
tsk - Thanks :) Hope your lunch with the girl's was a good one.
tig - Hope you are relaxing and enjoying your Taco Bell.
Good night, everyone :)

Clynn, sounds like a wonderful birthday! Just the kind of celebration when you turn 39! 🤤
I have been sitting here trying to decide between the chocolates ,chocolate or the strawberry Lorie posted! I am having one of each! delicious! Old Guys card hit the nail on the head!
Tsk, great flower selection! I too love moss rose! What are spikes? I am guessing a green narrow tall p,ant of some kind! Will be getting my strawberry pot out and filling it with The moss rose!
The picture of Iris should be on a calendar! A classic!
Had a busy day and will be out again tomorrow on errands and have an appointment for my shots in my back
Thursday! Piper says, stay home! Lol
Phyl, sorry Jim is having sinus issues. Hope he is pacing him self!
Seds all! Oh, little E 23 is. Stil a no show so he must be off seeing his part of the world!
Will they name NG?
-
The clouds are dark and the sky is rumbling---something's gonna happen. Just as long as it's dry tomorrow when I pot. ;)
CLYNN- sounds like y'all are gonna have a nice dinner and loads of fun. Always , IMHO, a good sign when 'the dad' takes part in the pregnancy. Hats off to NG. Tks for the snaps of Hellgate; Utah scenic hw y 12 just awesome tks. Nat Geo Leap Into Life , they have the best photographers, it seems.
HI EAGLES- cheery BD greeting for CLynn;
LORI- had to show Jim your cake for CLynn---anything strawberry ;); Anywho---that's a delish looki'n cake for CLynn.
TSK-poor Maureen 'Ouch!' I keep a prayer candle in house for Beakroom and all friends and family are included. So It's buring for Maureen too.
So glad you gals had a great visit. Thanks for sharing your lunch date .Don't know a soul who's been following Hellgate who isn't thrilled about
NG and Iris .
BAZ- that roll of $100's :o Nope! can't just pick on slice---sure shoot'n it's choco or the vanilla w/pecan filling (?)
TIG- all the best with your flower garden. Fo some reason this came to mind, not that you need ideas of course. I had a drippy garden faucet in my backyard in MO and and solved the prob planting some Moss Rose there--- :)
LANI- tks for sloth update and all. I'm not a sloth person. But the last two snaps of the babies are kinda cute. ;)
LISA- and all Jim siad he had a pretty good day. Still not 100% of course. But, the store is good to him about brakes. He's in his recliner w/ feet up (now he listens)
watching 'Primetime' and tending dinner for me. Maggie's in her ( mine)desk chair
HI KAREN- Jim's pacing himself and the store is very kind to him. Thanks for thinking of him/me. :-*
agree snap of Iris should be on RRP's calendar; think New Guy should have a more suitable name, IMHO.

Meet the ruthless king who unified the Kingdom of Hawai'i
The islands were once separate states until Kamehameha I brought them under his rule. Led by prophecy and driven to bloody battles, he overcame colonial threats and local rivals.

Kb, beautiful basket of flowers from your sis.
Clynn, NG was a very busy mate today. Providing food to Iris, new nesting material and brooding egg. I'm so happy for Iris. I hope you had a happy day! ;D... oh my "Leap into Life." :o
Baz, fun birthday posts for Clynn. LOL! delicious cakes. I'll have one of those. ;D
Lori, Yummy Strawberry birthday cake for Clynn! Love the great birthday card with Harley, S & S! ;D :-*
Tsk, sounds like a fun time with the girls! I remember you mentioning a few weeks ago about your friend falling, glad she's doing well.
Tig, A nice assortment of plants, I love moss rose, they are wonderful ground cover and do well in the sun here. Take care.
Karen, sending good wishes for E23 happy travels! From reading the chat, Dr Green of Montana osprey study will be naming NG sometime soon, now that NG has become a permanent mate for Iris. I read they will give him a Salish Tribe name, as they did Louis.
Phyl, glad Jim had a good day.
{{{Eagles, Puff}}}

As you know alot going on ---on my end---especially with Jim's health
Cane Ridge Bluebirds, Cane Ridge, Tennessee April/May 2024
"They've fledged !"

4-19-24 3:03 pm I was very late in my monitoring as my husband, who,usually does the photo taking and reporting
back to me for documentation /posting. Has been in Southern Hills Med Ctr. for some AFib and draining his lungs of
fluid that's been sitting inside his chest cavity.
Cane Ridge Bluebirds, Cane Ridge, Tennessee April/May 2024
4-23-24 12:54 pm Mom with CR# 65 or 66 on feeder pole. With the 'kids' having left home (fledge) while I was
occupied with Jim's hospital stay. I wasn't able to fully ID them according to their development/markings and all.
So after 22 years of following our bluebirds I thought I was qualified in making an 'educated guess'.
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d8/40/c4/d840c4a3cddcd99f37ff0cd11fec6428.jpg)
The fledglings have returned from 'flight school' . Guessamation the fledglings have been in training about a week.

I want to thank you all for the wonderful birthday cards and goodies yesterday! We had a great dinner at Applebee's and my WeatherTech is on the way (backordered). I made my cake, buttermilk white with whipped cream and strawberries, it was a big hit! And today I am going to the greenhouse! Couldn't ask for more!
Phyl, great pics of the Cane Ridge Bluebirds! Wow, the first batch has already fledged! Strange sounding frog in the 365! Jim will be proud of your pictures and documentation! And more eggs! They are beautiful!
Lani, beautiful sunset with the spiraling clouds! Just checked on Iris, she is sleeping peacefully...
Phyl, I love that lamp in your post! Beautiful eagle on the Flyway! Hoping Jim is better each day, hugs for you and Maggie...
tsk, maybe I will try moss rose out by the mailbox. Lots of sun there! I don't have a full sun place in my front gardens, lots of shade.
karen, hope you get some good relief from the shots today!

Shots on Thursday! Errands today, maybe buy I am slow getting going today! Temps now 84 going to 90! Three days of this and then a few days of some 70s and low 80s.
My first group on house finches fledged but now I think she is sitting on another group of eggs! It does not seem to bother her when the yard folks blow the stuff off the porch , folks come in or the plants are watered!
My dear father would be 120 years old today! Hard for me to believe! Time flies!

Royal Albatross
TF (Top Flat) and TFT (Top Flat Track) have been identified as males after test. ;D
Both chicks have been moving about more to visit with each other or other chick nests close by.
5/7 - Top Flat chick is 105 days old and weighs 7.9 kg just after 10 am this morning. Average weight for 105-day old male is 7.8 kg. Last week’s weight was also 7.9 kg as LGK and LGL had both been in the day before. Top Flat chick has been fed by both parents frequently over the last week, some feeds have been quite large, but there has been a gap just prior to weighing.
The heaviest chick today was 9.9 kg.
TF chick has moved further downhill near neighbor TFT

The last chick at top flat, Miss NTF (North Top Flat), ventured a little further around this time to have a chat with TF.... She was very funny.

Phyl, cute nature video.... congrats on another nest of BB eggs, your neighborhood must be full of the BB songs.... glad Jim is getting stronger every day.
Clynn, you'll love the WeatherTech. We love ours, perfect for Mike's hard use too.... glad you had a lovely birthday, yummy cake! ;D .... awww the sweet DN eaglets are doing well. :-*
{{{Karen}}} oh my 120 yrs, happy heavenly birthday prayers for your father..... good luck to mama Finch. Nothing bothers them. LOL! ...take care doing errands.
Hi Puff, Tig, Kb, Lisa, have a good day!
Eagles, you must be busy ???
Mike left for Texas today, he'll be back Thursday night.

PHYL Those are such beautiful blue eggs -
CLYNN What WeatherTech product are you getting?
LISA Nice cuppa this AM Norwegian?
LANI Quite a nice community of fellowship among those Albies LOL (((Mike))) safe trip.
BOY Did we get some heavy rain for about 30-45 min this AM another 1" More to come - they say severe - this afternoon.
-
I've been outside working, of course, LOL....edge cut my bricks along my driveway.
Therefore, I learned from a neighbor who would know, the house on my block exploded from a gas dryer.
I wondered which appliance was the culprit.
The new owners bought and installed themselves I believe a new dryer....I was confused when she explained there were 2 gas lines?...one was on, one was off or partially off?
the teenage daughter smelled the "rotten egg smell" as she slept downstairs but didn't know what it meant.
The parents apparently didn't sleep there.
Meanwhile, another house gas explosion in Princeton MN, this time, 2 adults deceased...
DIY gas is not allowed imho unless you are an expert.
-
Tsk, Puff and others, Tornado watch for you until☹️5:30! Hope it expires with no damage to anyone!

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I had a follow-up visit with the OT for my hand today. I go back to her again in a week, and I will go back to the hand ortho in early June. I'm making good progress on mobility, continuing those exercises. Today she added some new coordination exercises. I expect to start strength training exercises at next appt. She has me still not lifting anything over 1-2 lbs at most with my right hand. I have been doing all the mobility exercises she prescribed for home, and they have made for a great improvement. This past Sunday I could put the key into my car's ignition, start the car, and also could twist it to the off position and remove the key, all with only my right hand - they way that is normal, for older cars with no key fob or start button, donchaknow. ;) Yay! And also, this past Sunday, I was able to use my right hand to hold and adjust my binoculars. Big YAY! :D
I hope everyone is staying alert and safe who are in the path of severe weather. So much loss and heartbreak in so many places. Prayers for all who have suffered from the storms.
(((Take care, All.)))

I had gas today. Woohoo the dental kind. Just a small repair. But it's a nice drive for camper and I through the countryside into the next state and back. We just stopped in Stillwater for a treat.

KB So the teenage dtr got out in time...Gas is pretty easy to smell - then you get out or turn off the gas...Hmmm
KAREN Our neighborhood was spared the awful storms that hit more SW burbs this afternoon. Puff might report more activity.
BAZI You are the perfect patient!!! You follow directions and make excellent progress!!! Much of the daily activities are exercise.

The teenage daughter apparently left for school before it happened. Neighbor of mine said "teenagers may not understand what the smell is"..
Am happy to hear what appliance was the issue though.
Still very fishy stuff...Dennis told me today the "Recovery company" told him the owners bought insurance 2 hours before the explosion.....hmmm, Before they even open for business? It was on the news they didn't have any.
I'm concerned for Dennis and Vi, but I sense they just want to move on and have so many friends/family questioning what they are hearing etc. that they are now overwhelmed.

Tsk, Puff andnotherd, Tornado watch for you until☹️5:30! Hope it expires with no damage to anyone!

Karen - Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Dad.
Lani - Safe travels for Mike, and thanks for the Royal update. I had wondered where E4E was, too. Hope all is ok.
Tsk - I am not sure if it is Norwegian. Does it look like it? Be safe with that weather. I was watching Decorah a bit ago, and it was hailing.
Kb - Something does sound a lil fishy with that explosion.
Baz - You are doing great with your hand.
Tig - Dental gas 😂
Have a good night, everyone 😊

KB They may never know the whole story about that explosion/owners...And you know how stories change as they are passed on person to person. :o

TSK- cute butterfly this AM; batten down the hatches with that tornado about. You as well PUFF. Oh ! just read that yours and Puff's area were spared the storms. :)
CLYNN-very rustic/creative embellishment on door lock, I like that one, too. So happy to hear your BD dinner was fun and yummy. Jim has WeatherTech in his
Ford Fusion, he didn't even notice that when he bought the car until he took me for a spin and I announced " Cool. You have Weather Tech liners! The previous
owners must have added those"
So, guessing that you have your plants and are ready to pot them? We had forecast for light rain 10am to Noon then again at 2pm. So I get out on deck and pot , plant, pot, pot, pot to beat the drops. Which I did, BTW. Come in and change have breakfast and tea. And, wait---not a drop one all day. Zip!
Many thanks for DNN update---those kids look great!
LISA- pretty daisies; I'm w/you on CLynn's cake.
{{{KAREN}}} will be thinking of you tomorrow when you get your 'shot'. Hope it all works out well for you. Pets to Piper.
LANI- Thank you for the Royal's report. I think that's so sweet with the chicks moseying about visiting one another's nest. Sounds kinda neighborly in small town way. Awww Miss North Top flat chick . Safe travels for Mike
BAZ-thanks for the OT/PT update ;)
TIG-thanks for update on FSK bridge. Sadly---but now all the {{{families}}} have closure.

Kb, I read your update post on the explosion glad the daughter was spared. I can understand the talk can be upsetting for Dennis and Vi and want to move on from this event. Stories change from day to day - person to person.
Tsk, glad the terrible storms missed your area.
Tig, Dental gas ;D ... glad all is well... God Bless Jose Lopez family and friends. :'(
Baz, glad your hand is getting stronger each day. As Tsk says, you're the perfect patient.
Puff, glad your area was spared from the worse of the storms.

Mornin' Lani Wow, feel sorry for Michigan. Morning weather people say it's very unusual for such a strong tornedo/wind problem in the state. I do a lot of Amazon/FedEx like most of us - wonder how they straighten out the mess at that Amazon center.
I'll check the rain total here in Darien later; we had a couple heavy downfalls. I think tsk got it worse by her. It's hard to talk about our area/areas. We have to include one bit greater municipal area. Tsk and I are about 20 miles apart (?) and end up with different ends of the scale.

I see I was wrong - - - again. This was around me last night. After being out in the yard most of yesterday I guess I died when I hit the sheets. Hope it's not too damp to do some more work. They're not predicting anything bad (so far) today. The 55 mph might have thrown things around a bit. Glad we didn't put the patio umbrella in/up.

PHYL You made it and no rain anyway LOLOL Big job done. Happy Sunday??? LOLOL Love the colorful chime. Oh Oh hidden mallard nest :o 365
PUFF Yes I saw the damage at Kalamazoo - Fed Ex building...Lots of tornados in their area. Joliet also had a lot of flooding - Think they closed I57 to clear all the water. I saw that weather warning on the TV.

Good Morning Puff! Glad you are fine and hope there were not too many things blown around your area last evening! Know folks in many of the towns listed in your report! Up early today and looking out at a dense fog advisory! 63 degrees now with 98 % humidity! Going to 91! La Nina due in June bringing with her the possibility of 😞33 Atlantic coast hurricanes! Last year there were 14!
Got up very late yesterday! Trouble going to sleep that night! After I got going, the help took me to .target to return some filters for my water pitcher and found the correct ones that add plastic to the other junk they take out of the water stream! Then walked around the store for a long time buying things I did not know I needed! Then home to a lot of phone calls!
Vickie (wiskeringwings) posted that .e 23 has not been seen since last Friday afternoon. Hevwas 124 days old which is the average dispersal time, At this nest. She still stops in as the kids have been known to revisit the nest.
Housekeeper due at 10:30 so signing off to do a few things!
(((Jose)))

TSK- luv Garfield. What was I thinking this AM? ::) Thanks I fixed it. ;) Such terrible weather for yours/Puff's area. Why do
we have to have tornados --all those high and low pressures duking it up in the atmosphere. Take care.

Puff, we had some pop-up storms last evening here! It got darker, the wind whipped up and it rained hard...for just a few minutes. Then the sun came back out. It happened two or three times! Nothing on the radar. nr posted this on FB with the caption : Again?

Lani, cute good night pic, sleeping well...I slept well last night. Had been tossing and turning for a few nights. Hugs for you and your fur babies... Thank youagain for bring theRoyal Alby update.
Phyl, didn't end up getting plants yesterday, but we will today! I was just tired, probably from not sleeping for a couple of nights! All is right now. Hope Jim is better and better and you too! And Maggie, of course! Last night Sophie reached up and gave Harley a big hug around the neck - and he didn't run off or hiss at all! 365, it sure seemed like Mama Duck could sense the camera or the slight noise! Ticks, yes, YUK! We didn't used to have to worry about Lymes disease! 77 for the high here today, rain this afternoon and this evening. Interesting on the tennis skirts, I cannot imagine trying to play with a long dress and a bustle! Such strict rules for women back in the days!
tsk, the stories of the explosion remind me of the old gossip game we used to play as kids. Something is passed on the person next to you and by the time it gets back around it is totally different! Your toaster post reminded me of my Mother's Day gift for Mom. When I was there she said she needed to get a new toaster, hers was only toasting half of the bread. We kept forgetting to look for one. Si I found a nice Cuisinart at Kohl's. On sale, I had 30% off and some Kohl's Cash. It ended up costing me less than $12! And free shipping!
baz, sounds like you are doing all the right things for your finger!
karen, laughing at you finding things in Target that you didn't know you needed! Happens to me all the time! Hope the bad weather passes over you! How is Piper doing these days?
Finally, Iris lets us see her first egg with NG!

Lani- Yes, I understand Dennis and Vi very well, as well.
Where I'm coming from is simple: I think at least nearby homeowners would be grateful to understand what NOT to do in home life.
Meaning if there is a lesson to be learned then share it for all homeowners as prevention.
Finding out it was a homeowner installed gas dryer brings some comfort to me and others, as we wouldn't do that. Maybe also a warning to others?
I never was sure that anything would be learned by this tragedy. As many incidents never get back to the cause.
Anyway, we apparently will have to look at, drive by it, for quite some time. For Dennis and Vi that will be the worst.

Clynn - It's already demolished with half the house thrown in the basement and other half in piles surrounded by orange fencing.
Big However!....just walked home with Ollie man. I saw 4 huge still empty dumpsters parked there so the intention to remove it is there Maybe this weekend?..
Don't have a clue if they intend to remove the foundation...if not, when junk removed it will look better as a hill with a basement only!..LOL
Off to mow/weed whip front again, LOL..with all this rain. Primarily though my maple has "thrown" voluminous amount of seed on grass and driveway so will bag it up.
Plus, turn the water on in the front yard...haven't had to yet, but a stretch of dry weather ahead. My grass seed will still need to be watered.
Later.

KB They may never know the whole story about that explosion/owners...And you know how stories change as they are passed on person to person. :o
TSK, I agree. Dennis and Vi are smart to separate themselves as much as possible from all the "talk/gossip/stories" going around. Why take on that stress in addition to the stress they must already be dealing with related to the damage to their own property. They are smart to just let their insurance company deal with the other homeowner's insurance, or no insurance. That's part of the job Vi's homeowner insurance company takes on.
TSK, Lani and others, thanks for your encouragement as I try to follow the OT and hand ortho's prescribed instructions. :) :-* :-* I'm definitely not a perfect patient, LOL!! But I do want to get the most from the pros who are treating me, else it would be a waste of my time and money to go to them for their expertise and services. I'm doing therapy for all three middle fingers on my right hand. The thumb and little finger are good, though! Yay! :D But all three of the other fingers on that hand were sprained in my fall, in addition to the middle finger having the break in it's middle joint. ::) I would be much farther along with what I can do if I were only dealing with the broken joint in the middle finger. The sprains in all 3 fingers will take time to heal, too - sometimes longer than a fracture, which the OT reminded me about the other day.
No walking exercise for me the last couple days, or today... my bum knee is being weird, while hurting a lot. Sheese... ::) Ho hum... but it will get better. It better! ;D
I still have today's posts to read and catch up on in The Beak, so... BBL! :D

Great buy for your mom's toaster gift! Cute story about Harley accepting Sophie's hug. :) :-* Hope you have good weather to go plant shopping today. :)
Karen, did you get to your ENT appt you mentioned a few days ago? How's your vertigo doing - did the ENT do another treatment? LOL on finding so many things you didn't know you needed while shopping at Target! ;D ;D Good luck with the shot for your back - I hope it's soon and helps more!
I hope everyone in the path of the storms stays safe today. Please stay alert for any severe weather warnings in your area.

KAREN You are living a very busy life of late - that is what more daylight does to us LOLOL
CLYNN Such a cute birds nest LOL You are such a good deal maker - I must say I saved $30.00 at the grocery today with my loyalty coupons and digital deals and $8.00 off for spending $80 or more - which is not at all hard to do these days. ;) ;) Pretty color on those osprey eggs. If my math is right , that tuna was 528# :o :o :o Hostas come in some pretty cool varieties.
LISA Pretty AM hydrangea. Did get my annuals ( 90%) this AM at 8:30!!! but am waiting on my hanging pots. Not much to choose from at the 2 groceries where they are about $10 cheaper than at the big boxes or nurseries which are not selling the 10" pots which I like. Will not plant til Friday/Sat as tomorrow is supposed to be rain all day.
TIG That combo of color should look really nice. Will wait for the pic ;)
LANI Peek a boo ;) ;)

Baz. - Hope your knee feels better soon.
Tsk - Post pics of your flowers when you plant, please.
BrokenLug - Thanks for the links.
Phyl - So sad about Axel. Be safe!
Good night, everyone :)

BL That was really a good animation of the demo process.
PHYL Thanks for the Axel news. What a heartbreak for the staff.
-
Phyl, you and Jim and Maggie stay safe!
Just checked the Hellgate cam, someone is peacefully brooding the precious egg. Can't tell who it is, their back is to the cam but I am guessing it is NG because it's quiet... ;D ;D
tsk, I'm glad you read the Axel news, I think I am glad I didn't... ::)
Here's what I got at Goode's (and Sophie in the bucket). The 3rd pic is Ed's Tomato plants, one big one, 4 little ones:

(((Alex)))
BL, see you have your sea legs back! Thanks fir the links? Old Guy thanks fot yhe volcano info and tge Dali snd thr bridge! Interesting stuff!
Tig, that is a beautiful coleus! I am going to look for onr. Do u plan to plant in the ground or in a pot? Clynn, you had some on a pot, how big?
I remember that game of telling something to someone and waiting for it to go all around and then listentng to the final version! Was great on a bus beginning in front behind the driver, going down that side, across the back and up the other side!
Clynn, beautiful collection of plants! Good job! Ute Sofie!
Baz, do you use bio freeze on your knees? Not a permanent fix but gives a little relief.
No housekeeper today. That is okay.
Have a very nice hydrangea in the back that is ready to bloom! Had 3 bushes there years ago that did not do well but the stem of one of them got buried and took root! I cut it loose from the mother plant and left it alone. The little thing has been growing on its own for 3 or 4 years and it looks great! One of the blue flowered ones.
The help is supposed to help me shop and they drive my car to stores, dr. Apts, etc. also do light housekeeping . I do not need a lot of personal care.. i have them 3 times a week for a few hours, 4 max. Nice.
Piper says ir is time fir bed! Seds all in the path Of the storms, stay safe! Iris, be good to NG!

Karen, sorry your help didn't come. Good advice for Iris, she's always yakking in his ear. LOL! But, it's so good seeing her brooding and enjoying being an osprey. I wish hydrangeas could grow here.... You and Piper take care.

The weather was extremely active last night. Esp. the sky with it's rolling thunder and loud bursts ---snap crackle and pop!
About 2:20am was awaken by a horrendous thunder/lightening strike that sounded like a 'gunshot'. The skies with it's growling made the
experience sound 'primal'.

Phyl, oh I remember working on that number puzzle on long car rides when I was a kid! Beautiful bluebird pictures in your Cane Ridge Bluebirds thread! Serene pic of the Flyway this morning and love the 365 with the wiggly duck butts! And Mother Goose with her little ones! :)
Lani, sweet good night pic, you always find good ones! That sweet little Sophie, she hasn't been able to turn the water dish over so the just plays in the water! She sticks her paw in and then shakes it off. So she gets wet and the floor gets wet! Sophie and Bella, my wild girls!
Hellgate - Sonja Palentine - NG brought the massive 2nd fish to Iris. He left the OP about a half hour ago. Dunno where he was meanwhile. Maybe he was waiting for her to get hungry again? It didn't work. She didn't want it. She just chirped at him. Roughly translated as "there's such a thing as too much fish sweetie."He took it to the OP and stood awkwardly 'cause he's not hungry either.

Phyl, looks like we will have a cool, off and on rainy day today, I will probably do my planting this weekend. We crossed the Des Moines river going to Goode's and it was full to the brim and flooding in some areas. We have had lots of rain in the last few weeks. I still need to go out to Earl May Garden Center and get my coleus. They didn't have any that hit the spot at Goodes yesterday. This is what I had last year:

karen, you are doing great at home with just Piper, I think you have long been over the need for the 'call button'! Just need those ladies to take you shopping and clean the floors and bathroom, right? ;D ;D Are you getting a lot of rain?

DREARY GOOD MORNING
CLYNN Your Goode boxes look similar to mine ;) ;) ;) Looks like Sophie is ready for work LOL
KAREN Hydrangeas are pretty hardy and I find they spread. Actually a nice schedule for the help. More interesting for them and they don't get bored. On your end , you make a list and check it twice.. ;) ;) Good luck with your shot today. Or maybe you have to cancel - no help?
LANI We will have rain the entire day today. Can't wait to see my gauge when all done. Tim has mowed the lawn 3 times already. Nice not to have to water the veggies ;) ;) So indoor chores and a couple errands today.
PHYL Had that toy!!! Could win too LOL Lots of rain for you too. Thanks - I 'll catch the Nat Geo at our library. " Mallard rumps on a rainy day" 365 ;D Maybe some will find your retention pond. Serene flyway..
CLYNN " Sophie and Bella, my wild girls" LOL NG is an over achiever LOL Am not sure I will do coleus this year. I used to put them in my front porch planter but got some begonias last year through a fund raiser and put them there and really liked them so did that again. I may do a pot of coleus on the back patio along with the impatiens. Great news for Mom Decorah. ;D Wonder if she ever fishes in the pond?

Game called on account of rain - and cold. Started out at 67 and has been dropping steady since 5 am.
Checked rain at the start yesterday yard stuff tsk and was surprised it was 1 1/2" from Tuesday night and Wed morning. That was a nice amount, plants need more. Have friend of Ton's girlfriend helping me out. God send and good. Started the veggie garden work. Now raining again, but the plants are happy sitting out in the rain. I'm happy too because after mounting the hose reel I found the joining leaked, too. Found washers in Ton's "stuff" to try fix. Also plan to look today during errands for a new hose link just in case; they're not expensive and I can always get refund.
Day off will feel good. Couple errands - then relax and read a couple days' papers.

LISA Well the rain has stopped temporarily. Chilly out today

Karen you're doing great! ;D
Puff, I had to buy two new hoses this season. Enjoy your quiet time when errands done. :)
Lisa, Beautiful flowers.... so far Iris has one egg from NG and one from Louis.. I think she will lay another one in a day or two.
Tsk, This morning our area weather man said we will have a dry monsoon season. No rain... I'm going to pray he's wrong and be hopeful. So enjoy your moisture.... I plant begonias every year in honor of Mike's mom. She loved them and they do so well in pots here.
Clynn, I'm thankful NG is such a great mate and companion for Iris. Soon the melting snow will be churning up the river and fishing will be difficult. Hopefully, that doesn't happen... heartwarming pic of our beautiful Decorah couple and nest. I can't see the little bobblehead, but knowing there is one growing in the nest fulfills all our hopes and dreams for Decorah Mom and DM2. :-*
Phyl, the Travel Numbers game was one of my favorite puzzle to play at home... bottoms up in today's nature vid! ;D ... pretty start to the day on the Flyaway! ... sweet Goose Family....

Lani - Cute lil sloth. Thanks for info in Iris' eggs.
tsk - I went across to Aannapolis this morning to see if Home Depot had the pots of Vinca's, and they did! I got three big pots, and a fern for the backyard. It is a lil cooler here, since it has sprinkled.
Puff - What do you plant in your veggie garden?
karen - Hope you are home now and relaxing from your shot.
-
LisaG and any others who think I'm running a farm
There's not a lot of anything: celery, bell peppers, radishes, lettuces, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, spinach, green beans, beets, zucchini, tomatoes, uups , almost forgot the parsley, flat Italian and curly. Oregano and basil on the patio.
That's the way they're arranged. But just as an example, I have 10 (?) different types of tomato, 8 celery that take up about 4 ft x 1 ft and take no care, spinach that is seasoned out by end of June, lots of beans 6 rows, lots of lettuce 7 kinds and a row of each.
P
-
LANI " Look at me Mom" says that cute little sloth ;D
LISA Successful trip across the bridge!
PUFF WOW Your tomato plants (10) themselves need a ton of room!! Does Mike next door roto til the soil? Do you do the planting?
-
tsk Tomatoes run down one of the sides about 10-12 feet long 1 ft wide, stake them up. Naw, Michael just tastes the crop. ;D But it is against their property line; he and wife Julie are known to reach over when they wanted/needed one. Neighbors on the other side have carte blanc too. Peter/Rosemarie have to walk all the way across my yard though. :'( Peter does use a lot of the basil and oregano, of course he's Italian. (Made him up a small pot of basil at one point for his patio. He said mine tasted better. Yeah sure! We have a Mantis (small) rototiller. That used to be Ton's job (Liked another toy to play with). I did not like turning it over by hand - gladly gave him the honor. Eventually he tired of it. We'd find different "doers" through the last few years. Believe it or not the one who did it this year was a lady who was Ton's barber. She likes nature, money, and is a regular beautician. Her boyfriend also comes around asking if we need anything. Last year he did Christmas 2022 inside and out in honor of Ton.
We've been very lucky - those around us for 50 years now are very nice, considerate, and helpful. Nice group of neighbors as I've mentioned before. Darien motto . . . A nice place to live
P
P.S. Grocery shopping to do now. Hope noone notices my undone manicure. :-X

Home from the shot! Only got one side which may have been a mistake as after walking around the house a little the right side seemed a little soar! Still bent over as I walk! Felt better i mediately after getting the shot which was probably the Novocain humid and forecasted for tomorrow! !
Not to be left out if the weather drama we are under a tornado watch until this evening! No rain however .

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
Where's E4E? I hope she and her family are okay. I guess I need to look back to her last few posts and see if I missed her saying she would be away.
Lani, thank you. :-* Love the pic of that sweet little sloth - makes me want to reach out and touch. :-* :-* Hope Mike's time in TX is not in the areas that have suffered from the severe weather there recently! My sister said her son sent her a picture of a large tree limb that fell in his yard, in NC, in yesterday's weather, and said it just barely missed landing on his house. Whew! He's the Dad to the 4 twins.
Clynn, that's a lot of plants! Interesting tan and brown perennial in the blue bucket. I know about cattails and pussy willows, but that varety you found eludes me! ;) :-* :-* Yay for Mom Decorah and DM2 and their newest little eaglet!! Hoping for more to come for them, and a healthy and successful season for them all. :-* Thanks for sharing Sue B's post from Larry and Cindy's observations of their nest and nestling! :) (((Iris and NG and NG's egglet, plus fish galore)))
((Karen)), glad you got your shot - why didn't you do both sides this time? I'm hoping it gets better with a little time. Did you get to see your ENT as you had mentioned before? I hope your vertigo is doing better! Stay safe - so much scary weather in FL/GA! You and Piper stay alert and stay safe. :-*
Phyl, I hope Jim is feeling okay after a couple days back at work, and getting plenty of rest, too. Glad the weather didn't cause any damage at your place, and hope it stays that way!
Tsk, it sounds like you're planning on lots of planting. I've given up on doing lots of plants in pots outside now... but I did get 1 pretty potted geranium this Spring for a front porch planter, and that is it!
Lori, I hope you and your family are safe!
BL, thanks for the links. :)
Oldguy, glad you and your home are safe from the recent storms so far, and hope it stays that way!
Lisa, your vincas and fern will look nice!
I can't read what must be a very sad story about that beautiful wolf, Axel. Heartbreak hits us in the face many days, ready or not. So I am full up and overflowing on heartbreak right now, and seek more positive and uplifting news to get me through. Prayers for Axel, and those who cared for him. :-*
Stay safe, All. :-*

PUFF You do have a wonderful support group in times of need. Reward - self help garden LOL
KAREN Tim felt like a new man after his injection - but like you say, that was the local anesthetic. 70% improvement during bed time movements. Now feels he needs another one cuz he isn't "pain free". I said " don't be such a baby" ::) ::) ::) He has a follow up next week I think. I'm not going with this time. :-X But as they say it could take a couple weeks to take full effect. You've had many before so you know what to expect..
BAZI LOLOL " rock paper scissors" LOLOL Phew! Close call for your nephew. Glad all are safe and bet the kids are getting a kick out of it. ;D ;D ;D " tan and brown perennial in the blue bucket" ;D ;D ;D Every year, I say I'm going to pare down on the plantings. I have somewhat but I guess I could still do more. :-\
-
My Md says it sometimes takes two to feel tip top, see the in about Zz3 weeks! On my birthday, actually . May have another scheduled
Tsk, annuals are so showy that it is sometimes worth the effort! I believe in perennials for older folks! Start with one or two a year , see how they do, add a few more the next year and then just a pot of geraniums, one or two of begonias or impatiens. Easy peasy!
Puff, that is. Farm! At least the farmers home garden! Do you freeze or can the excess?
Going to get some annuals if it doesn’t rain! You see, I am not old yet! Lolol!
Baz, saw the ent. With a residual of the vertigo left, after my exercises! He did a maneuver and it was gone! I am still careful-but am enjoying many weeks off the tilt awhirl!
Had a lot of stormy weather to the north of us with a touch of it coming. Down with wind, dark skys and a little rain! Now, cooler and less humid!
Supposed to rain tomorrow so we will see!

It looks from the live feed and still images like they have the Linear Shaped Charges ready to go on the bridge span laying on the bow of the M/V DALI.
You can see the black wraps around the charges on the span.

For explosives demolition in the the USA the Loizeaux family, owners of CDI (https://www.controlled-demolition.com/), really know how to take down a bridge (and a whole lot more) and are one of the best Demo companies in the world.

Oh KarenG you never asked about flowers. I've got them surrounding the lot. Some perennial. some annual. That makes me only half old? Let me give you a brief tour starting at the front of the house. On the parkway I have lavenders, heuchera, hardy mum, geranium, yarrow, tall grasses. All these are planted annuals between several flat, big, stone outcroppings. I have something most can't have - plantings on the parkway. I moved in at the early start of the city; you now can only have a tree down there. I got grandfathered in. At the front of the house there are 2 pedestal cement planters, this year two colors of petunia colors. And hanging at the entryway to house/garage, a lobelia and a calichoa (?) Ohhh, and I forgot all about my pride and joy - the crimson king maple!
On the south side of house there is a display about 20 feet long of red with gold centers day lillies alternated with lavender.
On the north side overhand and privacy fence I have my begonias. About a dozen different colors. Garage wall has the single color bulbs; privacy fence has picotee colored. They are forced perennials only because I take out and keep the bulbs for the winter (zone problem). But then I replenish those that died over during season. Just bag them up with wood shavings in paper sacks. Replant in the spring - my plan for tomorrow.
Then there is the back yard (west) Along with the garden area and my 5 ash trees and a locust tree. For flowers, most are annuals. I do have 4 large containers (18") that this year each is planted with a tall red spike, coleus, and ivy. Among those are some tropical lillies. On the garage/patio area are two ceramic pots, each with Martha Washington geraniums, and some odds-and-ends hanging pots. Between each of the ash trees are 5 low bowl planters with mixed vincas. And......ta da! There is a spot where the 6th ash didn't survive - and to hide the stump that was never dug out - is a 3 foot across planter 1 1/2 foot high, plastic (phony cement) planter with a Japanese red blood bush centered by ?. It is surrounded with deep purple and orange I don't- I forget because I ordered them and haven't taken them out yet, only watered them. Again, on tomorrow's sched.
Directly on the patio are assorted planted things. Usually an hibiscus, spices, whatevers.
AND that's all!!!!
Who asked - freeze the garden extras. No, I only plant veggies because of the delicious flavors/taste/happy taste buds. You know there's a lot of tomatoes - but I almost never buy store tomatoes. I'm spoiled! There is a vacancy during the winter months, but there's always Greek or spinach salads, or coleslaw or chopped salads from fast food places, or lots of good dressings.
It does take time and effort I know. It's worth it when my neighbors and friends stop by or call to see if they can have .......
And, in about a month I'll really start enjoying it all for a few months. Until October I can sit, read, watch my birds, listen to the water fountain, watch the clouds float by. I love it, sometimes more than other times. And by the way tsk or anyone else in the neighborhood, there's an open invitation for anyone to stop and visit the "Self Help Garden".
Thanks for the name tsk.

Lani, glad to hear that Mike is safely home. Is the juniper pollen about done? Safe travels to the Valley for you and Mike!

E4E, call home!
Yellowstone Through The Lens · Larry J. Rogers · 2 days ago
Good morning from Victor, Idaho, where weather looks iffy for the next couple of hours. We remain in a snowy weather cycle here in the greater Yellowstone/Grand Teton region. Just as we were making the decision to start heading back home, we passed by a small group of Sandhill cranes walking lightly on top of the fresh snow. I'm so glad we didn't just keep driving. Almost always, taking a few extra minutes to get a shot of the common things we see in the parks seems to pay off with a special shot.

PUFF It would ake me all summer to do all that planting! Must be gorgeous. Parkway planting is interesting. Did anyone else on the block do that and then have to be grandfathered in? Agree with KAREN I have no luck with lavender.
LANI Awwww sweet good night. Mike home for a bit now?
KAREN What a way to start the day! Be safe.
CLYNN Clever use for an old chandelier LOL

HI CLYNN- we're 'alive'. LOL Out of concern late last night, I sent E4E a PM.
I updated my post of GSB-cliff view. If I had been a few seconds quicker, I'd caught Newman in the box.
I went back to chat and looked further in the thread and discovered there's a new female,, U-09.
So I posted some updates.
Very creative use of a chandelier.
Tks for Yellowstone update and Larry J. Rogers photo.
KAREN- with your weather, you and Piper take care today.
HI TSK-cute house mouse this AM. This morn he took his last of the sinus meds for infection and all. Next week he'll be back to his

Still experiencing thunderstorms and rain and very dark out for after 8 am! Tornado warning has expired, there have been and are winds of 62 to 66 mph in the area. 67,000 without power in Tallahassee! Trees down in places and blocking roads, but it could be worse! Piper has not been out to potty! She ent out when we first got up , stood on the patio and sniffed the air and ran back in The house! She said she would wait a few hours!
Have to wait and see if the help is coming! Depends on the roads and the school opening in her area. Our schools are open. But did not hear about hers! I am glad I did not have ti get out and go to work earlier this am!
The recycled chandelier is awesome!

E4es last post was May 6, for clynns birthday but there was no mention of a trip at that time! Hope all is well ! Yes, Eagles call home!
Lisa, optional on both sides but the majority of my pain is in the middle and to the left! That is where I got the shot! Feel ok this morning. Glad there was no stormy weather when you crossed the bridge!

I heard from Eagles... She is ok, but busy. She said she will post ...

karen - I looked at radar this morning when you mentioned tornadoes. There was a big red/orange cell passing over Tallahassee at the time. I can imagine there was some storm damage. I read the Decorah post from Robin...yay for Mom & DM2! I am glad you are feeling OK this morning after shot.

Glad to hear E4E is fine...
Busy again, watered in grass seed, washed outside windows with windex outdoor hose hook up for high windows. All but one do pull inward from the inside but doing this first gets a good start...insecticide poofer around the foundation of the house.

Hi Beakers and Happy Friday!
So sorry for not mentioning that I was taking a little break from being on my computer very much because of obligations and just trying to keep up with cleaning & chores around house & yard. I am with my mom quite a bit with helping her take care of her personal affairs on line as she does not have a computer (neither does my sister-only a smart phone). She was in the hospital a few days ago, but only for a day and got to go home. She is okay though. Sis & I are taking turns in driving her to PT (as I'm sure most of you know that my mom no longer drives).
Plus, just going to our Grandson's baseball games, getting together with our friends and taking day trips here & there - the days fly by so quickly.
Whenever I miss signing into the Beak for a couple of days, it is so hard to catch up! So, the more I fell behind, the harder it was to get back in here! Lol!
I know everyone here has obligations and family too, and I don't know how you all do it and you still keep up in the Beak! :-[
Thank you to the folks who inquired about me, and to those that sent me PMs!! ;D I will try to communicate much better :) Everyone has been nice to me and please know that no one here has hurt my feelings or upset me in any way whatsoever! :)
Thank you for putting up with me! :)
I have been regularly checking in on the DNN family!

Hi E4E ;)
Rest day for me, in between yard werk days.
Baltimore is socked in with rain n fog today. Not certain , but, they invited the media to be there Saturday between 5 and 5:30. All is fluid, but that might be the shaped charge demolition time.
FYI

E4E, so glad to hear all is well with you and that Mom is okay. Yes, life gets busy! I would say to you, don't worry about trying to catch up in the Beak and comment on everything. No one is going to beat on you or feel slighted if you don't comment on every post! Just start fresh and tell us what is going on so that we know you are okay! It is hard work trying to keep up all the time, we all need a break once in a while!
kb, the Minnehaha is wild today!
In 1960, David Latimer planted a spiderwort sprout inside of a large glass jar, added a quarter pint of water, and then sealed it shut. He opened the bottle for the first time only 12 years later, in 1972, to add some water and then sealed it for good.
The self-contained ecosystem flourished for more than 60 years as a perfectly balanced garden and self-sufficient ecosystem.
The bacteria in the compost ate the dead plants and broke down the oxygen released, turning it into carbon dioxide, essentially forming a microcosm of Earth.

Still experiencing thunderstorms and rain and very dark out for after 8 am! Tornado warning has expired, there have been and are winds of 62 to 66 mph in the area. 67,000 without power in Tallahassee! Trees down in places and blocking roads, but it could be worse! Piper has not been out to potty! She ent out when we first got up , stood on the patio and sniffed the air and ran back in The house! She said she would wait a few hours!
Have to wait and see if the help is coming! Depends on the roads and the school opening in her area. Our schools are open. But did not hear about hers! I am glad I did not have ti get out and go to work earlier this am!
The recycled chandelier is awesome!
Bridge work in Baltimore is very interesting and opening the harbor is truly important. Thanks all for info!
Enjoying all the morning reports! My little house finch remains safe under the protection of the front porch roof!
((Karen)), glad you and Piper are safe, and no damage reported at your place - hope it stays that way! I have been watching all the seriously severe weather going through your area and the FL panhandle - lots of damage in Tallahassee, and other areas - 84 mph wind around there, and many places, like yours, with 62+ mph winds. Loads of power outs, too. Glad you have yours, and hope you keep it. I watched on the Weather Channel (they even showed a live cam in your town!), and was hoping you were okay! Glad the ENT appt went well, and he was able to give you a tune-up to rid the remaining vertigo. Hope it stays gone! Glad you got your shot, and hope, as you noted earlier, that relief will be more apparent in the coming days. Hope your help is safe, and can come to assist you after the stormy weather has passed through her area and yours. Anyone who drove to work during those tornado warnings would be doing it wrong. :o.
-
Eagles, Ditto what Clynn said! Glad to know you and family are good!
Lisa, that big red/orange thing kept moving north east but did not damage anything I can see!
Bought some red and yellow portulaca ( moss rose)for a strawberry jar and 2 lime green coleus with dark red veins! Very pretty and bright. Putting them in a vacant space at the corner of the garagE
-
KAREN Looks again like you were spared the rough weather or any damage.
LISA What do you suppose is that on the saucer of your AM pic? :o
TIG Thanks Eagles is OK
KB Good start on the windows. It could be overwhelming . Wish I had the pull in kind. I wouldn't have to hire for the outside.
EAGLES LOL We are in quite a rhythm here ;D ;D We check in on our missing puzzle pieces :-* :-* Sometimes for all of us, life gets in the way. Thanks for checking in - You have a lot on your plate.
CLYNN WOW David Latimer's spiderwort sprout ecosystem :o :o Cool rte 66 photo
Tim and I walked 90 minutes at the botanic garden this AM. Tulips done but lots of other things to see..
The truck came in to Jewel this AM so got all my 10" hanging pots for only $15 each.. ;D ;D ;D
Went to 2 nurseries and could find nothing different in coleus other than the regular stuff.

Hi Beakers and Happy Friday!
So sorry for not mentioning that I was taking a little break from being on my computer very much because of obligations and just trying to keep up with cleaning & chores around house & yard. I am with my mom quite a bit with helping her take care of her personal affairs on line as she does not have a computer (neither does my sister-only a smart phone). She was in the hospital a few days ago, but only for a day and got to go home. She is okay though. Sis & I are taking turns in driving her to PT (as I'm sure most of you know that my mom no longer drives).
Plus, just going to our Grandson's baseball games, getting together with our friends and taking day trips here & there - the days fly by so quickly.
Whenever I miss signing into the Beak for a couple of days, it is so hard to catch up! So, the more I fell behind, the harder it was to get back in here! Lol!
I know everyone here has obligations and family too, and I don't know how you all do it and you still keep up in the Beak! :-[
Thank you to the folks who inquired about me, and to those that sent me PMs!! ;D I will try to communicate much better :) Everyone has been nice to me and please know that no one here has hurt my feelings or upset me in any way whatsoever! :)
Thank you for putting up with me! :)
I have been regularly checking in on the DNN family!
E4E, good to hear from you! Glad to hear that all is well, except for your Mom having to be in the hospital, but glad to hear she is home and okay now. It's good to take a break when you feel like it! And I completely understand your not having time to read and post when you have so much going on, too. The same happens to me, and I have sometimes missed 10 days to 2 weeks, or more, in The Beak, and never ever could read it all to catch up. LOL. I will say what some Beakers told me those times - Don't worry about trying to catch up on reading many days of posts! Just hop back in when you can and pick up from there! Glad you're enjoying spending time with family and getting out and about, and taking care of things around home, too! Take care, and just pop in when you can... we'll be here when you do! :) Hugs! :) :-*

Happy Day, Beakers! :)
I hope all in the path of serious weather stay safe!
Tsk, nice for you and Tim to get out for a long walk at the botanic garden! Glad Tim is feeling better after his shot, too!
Clynn, that spiderwort plant and container, and the pic of it, are very, very, very cool!
Lani, glad Mike got home okay. So much of Texas has been hit so hard with heavy rains, and severe storms and tornadoes, too.
Lisa, the Mobile area got hit with all that same stormy and severe weather system that went through the FL panhandle, and Karen's area today. I hope your family there are all safe, with no damage to homes or cars. Lots of hail in some places, too, I saw.
I walked 25 minutes this morning. Yay! :D It was the 1st time in quite a few days - since my knee acted up and got progressively worse. Ahhh... it felt good to get out! Kept it easy, and not very long. Have not needed to wrap my knee today either. It has held up well. Yay! I even did 2 long routes through 2 different big grocery stores this afternoon! My knee is only a tad sore after that, so that's a good thing!
Everyone's flowers and garden plantings sound so nice and pretty! :)
Stormy weather is coming in my direction now, so I'm going to wrap this up and unplug my computer.
Take care, and have a good evening, All!
It's FRIIIIDAY! Kick back and relax some, Beakers! The 1st round is on me :) ... take your pick... They all come in "high test" and "virgin" versions. So choose your favorite cocktail, or mocktail, and enjoy! :D

baz - Mama called me earlier this morning around 9am. That woman acts like there is never any severe weather in her area! She was getting ready to head out to run the streets. Glad to hear that your got your walk in, and hope your knee doesn't give you any trouble tonight.
karen - Jeff's uncle lives in Jacksonville, and a tree from his yard fell on his boat with that storm this morning.
clynn - Love the pic of Historic Route 66
tig - It's a nasty rainy/chilly day here in Maryland.
E4E - Ditto what clynn said! It is hard to catch up when days go past here in the Beak, so start fresh when you can. I am sorry to hear about your mom being in the hospital. Prayers for her. Happy to see you post!

Lisa, your Mom is an optimist and can't sit still! I am sure she is the first one out after the siren stops! Some people just can't sit still!

Live from the Pallas Cat Den
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHlP4uuC8CY
Started streaming on May 9, 2024 NORDENS ARK
On April 9th, four little Pallas’s cat kittens were born at Nordens Ark. The cubs born blind are initially totally dependent on their mother and stay in the den. It will take some weeks before they’ll start to explore the enclosure. But for now, you can follow life in the den via live camera.
Nordens Ark is a non-profit organisation who works to ensure a future for endangered species

OMG, this is so dang sweet....
Happy Saturday all.
Beautiful day here, unfortunately, I have to shop for food, LOL..
Clynn - for me if I was 106 and wanted to jump in the water, I would want my children to support me in that.
The son does say, it's up to you Dad and they were all totally there for him.
Reminds me of my grandma who took a hot air balloon ride on her 90th birthday. Supported and paid for by her children as she wanted that.
Whatever you want Grandpa or Grandma if you live to be 106!

tsk - In answer to your question yesterday about the city's rule on my parkway landscaping. . . It was put in about 1980; the ordinance was written/passed about 75/76. What the new rule didn't specify was when the rule apply to; i.e. when the rule was in effect, wasn't mentioned that I purchased under 1971 ordinances. It wasn't applicable post purchase. They than in 1976 modified the ordinance to "property purchased from 1976 forward" that would be valid.
Two caveats, however, modified that. In case of a drainage problem, if the work disturbed existing sewers/landscaping/or my design, the city would not be liable for restoring except as they deemed necessary. The other exception/condition was related to my mailbox. One winter, while our street was being cleared of a deep snow. They, the city, being caretakers of the city streets, used a city backhoe to plow, lift back, and toss the mailbox. :o They took responsibility and repaired/fixed it. And then for the following winter they instituted a limit on their liability. I believe it is now $200 for all in the city work. The mailbox has been "taken out, taken down" down now 4 times. No, others have accidentally damaged it (postal delivery truck, young girl backing down street in a hissy fit, and last time pickup truck doing a 3-point turnaround. BTW last year, was $860. There is no reasonable reason that it should/can be over-looked. It stands the typical 5 feet, all black brick with white cement and a white cap. And it has front and back opaque white panels with lighting from the inside at night. Very hard to not spot. Twice the "battery of the box" was done at night!
Phyl I, too, found that hanging chandelier/planter nicely done and ingenious.

kb - Aww, the 106 yr old!
tig - Thanks for the info on bridge. It is a nice day here today.
Lani - Miss Fisher's favorite fan...there is no stopping her! She just told me yesterday, that she needed something else to do, since her lil work from home job was getting slow. She has decided to do Door Dash and Uber Eats. My brother and SIL said, she is not allowed to do it at night, only the day.
clynn - You are right, Mama cannot sit still. Love the pic of the heart shaped kitties. Great pic of Iris and the Norwich peregrines!
Phyl - Thanks :) Is Jim still feeling ok? LOL, the kitty funny!
tsk - She is something else! ;D
Puff, Karen and all - Morning :)

PUFF Does everyone on your street have a standing curb mailbox? Does everyone have the same problems with them being knocked down?
LISA What a sweetie of a kitty. :D Are you kidding with Mom getting herself a little day time job??? What a character LOLOL
LANI LOL That is some shady alley cat gambling group . :o
All annual planting is done - Miscounted my ageratum so had to run for 8 more. Total time 9:30 to 1:45. Now resting for an hour and will get cleaned up to go see my "Broadway star to be" great niece in another musical with this "on the side company- Ovation" she has been with for years. I will need the rest LOLOL

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS! :D

;D
I walked 27 minutes this morning. My bum knee is only very slightly sore today - so not a problem. Yay! :)
My boyfriend won his 1st round tennis match in Rome 2 days ago, but lost his 2nd round match today. Boo hoo. It is his last time playing in Rome, where he has won more matches than any other player, and has been Champion there 10 times. Another goodbye tour tournament done for him... one that he loved playing so much. I wish he could've had a better result, but the player who beat him is ranked 7 in the world, so he is no slouch! It's a wait-and-see if my boyfriend will play at Roland Garros, the French - 1 of the 4 majors, that he has won 14 times, a record that most think may possibly never be beaten. He is considered the greatest clay court tennis player of all time. :-* :-*
Tig, I was going to comment on another player's match today, but I know you follow her, and I don't know if you've seen that match yet, so mum's the word. ;)
Lani, I'm glad Mike gets to stay put at home while working for a couple of weeks, and maybe get more relaxation and rest. Nice that Shannon was able to come for dinner last night - did y'all cook something on the grill? LOL on your poker playing cats - yep, Oldguy better be on the lookout at his game tonight if any of them show up. Ringers, for sure! ;D ;D
Oldguy, watch out for any of Lani's card shark cats slinking around your card table tonight - they're ringers, for sure, so hold on to your chips!! ;) ;D ;D
Lisa, your mom is a hoot!!! Well you surely came by your love of driving honestly! It must be in the genes!! :D :D ;)
Phyl, sorry your fav wasn't sitting ready on the bar at Happy Hour last night... Try something different, maybe... after one, you won't care! ;D ;D ;)
KB, if I live to be 106, I might BASE jump off West Virginia's New River Gorge Bridge on Bridge Day!! 8)
https://officialbridgeday.com/ - Bridge Day, New River Gorge
Puff, I want some vine-ripened "maters" this summer! Hope you have a bountiful crop!
BL, fish on wid yer bad se'f! Duck, Pip!! ;D
Clynn, those Norwich eyasses look like fluffy stuffed animals! ;) :D :-* :-* Iris looks like she's thinking, "Ahhh... this is more like it!" :) :-* :-* Has anyone discovered Sophie's escape route to the roof yet? LOL, keep her busy with her water bowl! ;) :D I fell victim in the store yesterday to a BOGO on Tillamook Ice Cream - got the Caramel Toffee Crunch - thought about you! It was divine!
TSK, oh boy! Your great niece has a new production for you to go to! Did she get the lead, by chance? Have fun! I can't wait to see her at The Tony's!! And maybe in a play on Broadway! :D
Karen, did you get your portulaca put out yet?
E4E, hope you and Kris are enjoying the weekend! :)
Most of the heavy yellow pollen has done it's thing here now, so today I finally washed down my front porch rockers and side table. I'm heading out there in a bit with a bowl of popcorn and a cold one. ;) :D
Have a good evening, All! :)
See ya later, gators! ;) ;D
Click attached pic to enlarge. ;D

Lani - Hope you had a nice Mother's Day visit with Shannon. Haha, yes she does keep us on our toes!
tsk - Am not kidding, about her lil day time job. ;D Wow, that is alot of planting. Enjoy the musical!
baz - LOL, I never thought about that before...the driving! Enjoy your popcorn and cold one on the pollen free rocker. We are pollen free around here too, finally.

I don't recall any other downed boxes - some upgraded the box by choice. Our block+ group all have a post with the box on the top. Some have pipe/wood/plastic posts.
I looked for a pic I posted way way back of the front of the house, Tony sitting in his supervising chair - but at the side of the driveway I do believe there was the mailbox. You all know what I mean "too many pics" :-\

FYI... It appears, as of an hour ago, that the weather has pushed the FSK bridge span demo to Sunday. Maybe.
Tig As of 6 PM EDT they have rescheduled the demolition to 05/12/24 between 4:00 - 7:30 PM EDT.
I checked the marine weather forecast for Baltimore Harbor at that time and I don't think they'll do it at the above time either. Monday would be my guess.
Stay tuned ... ;)
-
some bounce
BL... Thanx. Yes... Talons crossed
TSK... Busy "girl"... Have fun
BAZ ... Tnx. Sorry about your guy. I watched some. I usually record, but I did watch her match live today. I think she is secretly from MN... the way she gives me a "heart attack" ... LOL ( like our sports teams ).
After that... I mowed a portion of the lawn and spent a good amount of time cleaning the mower.
Camper did some mowing and is now off getting the car washed and is bringing a brisket and blue cheese salad home for me from Famous Dave's. Yum!
Earlier today I sprayed weeds in the front lawn and watered the annuals, and did some chores indoors.
I'm done in for today. Looking forward to the game tomorrow....
Oh... And, I get to take the heart monitor off at midnight! Yay! And then maybe step outside to look for the northern lights.
-
BAZI I'm all for taking a nap in unpleasant moments. ;D Kind of hard to see the best of the best finally realize it might be getting near the end of a career - Think any sport - golf, basketball, baseball.... You go girl at 106! I'll be on the bank cheering you on ;D
Hope I live long enough to see her get leads and to know what happens after high school where she is a freshman now.
She's in the ensemble so was singing and dancing in EVERY scene!!! I was exhausted. As a freshman, you don't get many leads.
CROCS LOLOL Someone had to come up with those shoes sooner or later.
TIG You had a busy day!! YAY Monitor off at midnight ;D

Amen and Goodbye to the patch tig. :-*

Well, having a coffee and ending a day that has gone by and I cannot tell you that I accomplished anything! Planted one of two dragon heart coleous but wilk have to dig it up and start over! Going to order a new shovel tomorrow! I know what to do and how to do it but I am afraid the body does not cooperate! Standing on one foot is not good! Shovel does help! Going to try tomorrow! Lol. Did clean the pot for the moss rose!
Noticed someone in the backyard of my backyard neighbor! While talking over the fence noticed it was falling down! She said her cousin was coming to fix it! He did and i found my gate handle is broken! Have to call the man who rebuilt it to see if he will fix it! Played with Piper. A little bit of nothing!
Weather was perfect! Read the beak! Lisa, your morning Kitty is adorable!
Lani, nice for you to see .shannon! Glad Mike is home for a spell? Phyl, give Jim a hug! Tsk, you are as busy as Lisa’s Mamma! Lolol! Door Dash! On the whole, like mother like daughter?
Clynn, how did the planting go? I know better than mine! Lol! Probably like Tsk! Baz, you remind me of, these boots are made for
walking! You go. Girl!
Going to call it a night. Seds. Especially Tig, tonight.

Happy Mother's Day weekend to All - everyone is a Mom to someone or something or a furry family member! :) :)
Tig- Bet your yard is beautiful! Yaaay! Heart monitor off tonight at midnight. So happy for you!
Phyl- Thank you so much for kind regards for my mom & sis :-* Re; DNN 'kids' - love when they stretch their legs & feet out when lying down - too cute!! ;D
Puff- Thank you! {{Puff}}
Clynn- Thank you for assuring me that it's not necessary to read all the pages and try to comment on all, because it really is tough to do! :-[ Love Iris' snap!
Karen- Thank you! :) Glad you & Piper are safe in those horrible winds -hope things have subsided now.
Tsk- Thank you so much! That was a good walk you & Tim had at the botanic gardens!
Baz- That makes me feel better to know that you will take a break sometimes, and then just pop back in and take it from there! :) You are still doing really well with your walks! Just saw the 'crocs'! ::)
LisaG- Thank you! :) Yikes-it is never good when a tree falls on a boat. Hope Jeff's uncle's boat will be fixable!
Lani- I appreciate your nice hugs! :) So glad that Shannon is over there - hopefully to share Mother's Day weekend together! ;D So nice that Mike will be home for a couple of weeks, and as you mentioned, hope he gets some good sleep this weekend. :)
Kb- Right on for the 106 yr old man! ;D
Hi Lori, Og, Bl :)
We've had a nice family weekend so far; Hubby's brother came over for dinner yesterday and stayed the night - leaving at 1pm today. Then, at 1:30, my mom & sis came over and we had our little Mother's day celebration together. We had a chicken bbq. I gave my mom roses and a gift in her card. :) Tomorrow there are no set plans. :)
Beakers stay safe in all that turbulent weather. Hope All have a good night.

I walked 34 minutes this morning. It's another pretty day in the neighborhood! When I got back from my walk, Mother and Father (Canada) Goose and their 4 little yellow wiggle-butts were walking around and looking for bugs in the grass next to the retention pond. :) :-* :-* They weren't the same family I saw trying to cross the street the other day. ;) :)
Clynn and Phyl and BL, nice throwback pics! :)
E4E, fun time with family! :)
Karen, that was very thoughtful of Piper! Yum, I love a rib eye steak! Enjoy, and stay upright! ;) :D
KB, interesting frog. Stay inside today, and leave the wildfire smoke outdoors. Maybe the wind direction will change soon and the air quality will improve.
TSK, LOL, your great niece wore you out being in the ensemble in every scene af her musical performance! You're so lucky to live close enough to get to see and enjoy her doing what she loves, and doing it so well, too! :)
Lani, have you looked for the aurora in your night sky this week yet? I saw photos of the current magnetic storm's pretty Northern Lights that were seen and photographed 2 nights ago in Arizona. I went out to look last night in my low northern sky (as recommended), but that is the direction that our busy downtown nightlife is, and so there is too much light in the sky, I think, even if the aurora were visible here. I would need to drive to a more open location with less light in the sky. But the stars were bright and pretty over my head in my night sky!
Hi Paulie!! :)
Lori, I hope you and Destini are getting along okay, and your mom, too, on Mother's Day! :)
Oldguy, congrats and a fun night of winning at cards!
Tig, Coco Gauff has those weird sets sometimes that just make no sense at all! LOL, but she came out on top! Yay! :) And, Yay for getting to take off the monitor now! :)
((Lisa)), that's awful about the tree landing on Jeff's uncle's boat! Is it fixable?
Puff, I found a post you made in August of last year in the archived Beak Room section, referencing your mailbox picture, but you actually posted the picture of your mailbox before 2023 according to that post you made, so I couldn't locate the photo of it for you - those archives only go back to January of 2023 for the Beak Room. But I remember when you posted that picture! Maybe you need to put a motion detector on your mailbox that flashes lights and sounds a loud siren whenever anyone's vehicle gets too close!! LOLOL!! Just kidding... ;) ;) ;) ;D
Waving to All the Beakers! Enjoy your day! :) :-*
I gotta go for now... :D

Happy Mother’s Day about 1939 . Aunt, Grandmother, and Mamma! They are all missed every day, but blessed!
Coleus in the ground and there were no falls!
-
no bounce
Finished mowing in 86 degree heat! Let it snow...
Lisa... yes, I'm finished. Sorry about the boat.
Yay Decorah Mom!
While I was resting outside, in the middle of the afternoon, Cardinal Mom and then Cardinal Dad stopped by.
Hello Mom and Dad. I miss you.
TTFN

LANI Great Mother's Day post ;)
BAZI I'm kind of the family representative to the Oak Park kids adventures. One grandpa and grandpa live in Green Bay and the other in Door county. On the Dad's side the grandparents live in Grand Rapids Mi. I live 30 min away LOLOL In the past, we have all been together but illnesses and difficulties driving have changed those events. Nowadays tho videos can be made so that is a help.
KAREN Thanks for the look back ;D
-
tig - Glad to hear you are done with the monitor. Ohh, 86 is too hot the be mowing.
karen - What a great pic from 1939. Glad to hear there was no falls in putting the coleus in the ground.
baz - Good job on the walk. Jeff's uncle did post that the boat is fixable.
Good Night, everyone :)
-
Hope that all of the Moms here in the beak have had a great day.
As BL and I thought - today's explosion has been reset for 5pm Monday.

LisaG I do also have a large collection of CA big pine cones. They are in a wicker basket at the base of the fireplace downstairs. They got "imported" on a trip we did to San Fran for a wine cruise down the Napa River. Driving through the Redwood areas you see the cones. Don't know if there was a ordinance, we gathered some up anyway. I bought a cardboard storage box 2' x 4' and layered them out - checked the box as luggage. I always start to wonder at what the security xray personnel thought when they saw that when it passed thru. LOLOL
Did a long day outside today, 10 - 3. Took it real easy. Lots of breaks -- lots of looooooong breaks. I do a little bit I'll do again tomorrow. But, I have a dinner meeting so I'll be short. I'm estimating about 3 more days of aches and pains.
Lots of cars/visitors on the block for mother's day, or grandmothers' day for our group. Hope you all had a nice, fun day. Lots of memories to pop back up.
Glad you researched tsk and found that old mailbox pic. I found it too. But with this new machine and new programs I just couldn't get it to copy to send or scan. And, since Darien has gone into the rules and regulations habit they no doubt have a rule against the siren setup. ;D
I hope I'm back inside tomorrow to get some time in watching the Key Bridge procedures.
Back tomorrow - have a pleasant evening all.

Goodnight my dear friends... thank you for making me smile... much love, Lori💜

Just got back home a couple of hours ago.
LISA- just went back to re-read your Sat. post. Yikes! Jeff's uncle is very fortunate tree missed the house. Glad the boat
is safely repairable and not total loss.
TSK- your great niece is greatly talented. Does she have aspirations in the' performing arts' ? Good performances always leave
one 'breathless'. What you said is true of a lot of families nowadays
BAZ- cheery yellow posies today. When are you gonna post a baby photo?
KAREN- very nice nostalgia for today. Relieved there were no 'accidents' in the garden today
OG-many thanks for the Mother's Day wishes. And, I did have a wonderful day.
Good Night Everyone...SEDs. 🙏 's

Since I love museums and history---For Mother’s Day we went to
The Frist Museum for the Visual Arts , downtown Nashville.
We toured the soon closing exhibition ‘Monuments and Myths’
https://fristartmuseum.org/exhibition/monuments-and-myths/
Here are a few of the several snaps I took serving as my mementos.

Went back home and since it was Mother’s Day celebration we dressed for the occasion. And, had very nice dinner at Nashville’s Union Station.

https://www.unionstationhotelnashville.com/
We each had -shrimp cocktail with our favorite cocktail drinks
Jim- short rib
Me-Ora King Salmon
On the way out, Jim noticed a couple he had flown corporate for Mars Pet Care as their Chief Pilot in their Flight Dept.
So we stopped by their table, as invited, we sat and chatted and had another cocktail.
It was so nice to catch up.

LISA Boat fixable - good deal.
PUFF It was BAZI who found your mailbox in the Archives. ;) ;) I'm not that resourceful ;D ;D You're smart to take long breaks - No time limit on getting a little garden exercise.
(((LORI and Grandma)))
LANI Good night pup LOL
PHYL I would definitely have gone to that exhibit. Very cool. Glad you didn't miss it. What a very special day for the two of you. How fun to meet up with the couple Jim knew from his piloting days
CLYNN Erin's photos - WOW How lucky is he to have seen it. That rain will get to us later today ;) Look at that cute family.
The kids are getting cuter with age ;)

Thanks for the info tsk. And thanks to baz for helping in the search.

Royal Albatross :-*
Northern Royal Albatross Chick Goes On Walkabout In New Zealand | DOC | Cornell Lab – May 10, 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkxfz9b4yMo
May 10, 2024 #endangeredspecies #newzealand #wildlife
At 100 days old, the Northern Royal Albatross chick from the Top Flat nest goes on a walkabout to explore the headland. As the chicks get older, they begin to wander further and further from their nest sites. They may even venture to areas out of view from the camera for periods, but they won't stray too far from their natal nest at this age.
After that look from TFT's mom BOK, TF thought he'd just mosey on right over there to this nest. BOK will bit other chicks, especially TF. She does not like him.

Lisa, hope Jeffs uncle has insurance on his boat! Glad it was not the house!
Phyllis, nice day for you and Jim! The train depot is interesting and a big connection to my mother’s family thru her railroad working father! As Clynn posted there is a large Lincoln historical memorial in Springfield!
Interesting to visit the Fords theater in DC should you get the opportunity to visit there!
Gloomy lights on day! No complaints but will have to find an in door project which should not be too hard!
Iris seems content and at least Louis is not interfering!
Lori, hope you had a good day!
Lani. Great picture of the aurora borealis. Good luck with the repair
Tsk, surprised you are that far from Oak Park! My picture with the othopedic shoes was taken there! Lol.

Puff, ??? ;) Sorry, but I did NOT find your mailbox picture! I said I found where you posted in August 2023 about your mailbox, but not with a picture at that time. You said in August 2023 that you had posted a picture of your mailbox the year before - that would have been back in 2022. The reason I could not find your mailbox picture you posted in 2022 is because the Archives for the Beak Room do not go back to before January of 2023. But I remember that picture! I'm glad you found it though, and sorry you're having trouble trying to post it again. Oh pooh! :D

Take care, (((All))). :D :-*

karen - That looked like a nasty system heading E.
oldguy - Thanks for the video.
Beakers - Please say a lil prayer for my Mama. I do not know all the details yet, or how my mama is doing. But my brother called me a lil bit ago and said, that he was notified by Life360 that there was a hard fall. He tried to call my Mama, and no answer, so he asked the neighbor to check on her. She was unconscious with no pulse at the door. She must have fell. The neighbor called 911, they tried to talk him thru CPR till the ambulance got here. Brother said, they got a pulse but still unconscious. He and SIL were 3 hrs away heading home from doing a college campus tour with nephew. He should be getting to the hospital soon. They took her by ambulance, but that is all we know so far. I tried to call, but they won't tell me anything, other than they took my number, but it did not sound confident they would call me back to let me know what is going on.
-
OLDGUY Thanks. the commentators I heard said it didn't go as planned HMM Guess you had to hear it from the beginning.
OH NO LISA This is terrible news. Will pray for the best outcome now that she is at the hospital. Hugs to you. Hang in there. It is so hard to be the one away from it. :-*

Good Morning Beakers
Thank you all for the kind words for my Mama.
This is what happened and what I know so far from my brother and SIL. I talked to Mama yesterday around noon my time, and she heading back home from the bank. Later that afternoon my brother calls and says that he got a notification from Mama's watch on Life 360 of a hard fall. He and SIL tried to call her phone and no answer. They called the neighbor and asked them to go over and check on her. They neighbor called him back and told him, Mama looks like she had fallen and is in awkward position and is not conscious and has no pulse. Brien called 911, and they neighbor tried to do CPR till ambulance got there. Ambulance got there, they got a pulse on her, but she remained unconscious. They took her to hospital and did some scans on her. They said, when she fell she either fractured or broke her cervical spine or spine. She is still unconscious and not breathing on her own.
Bradley and I are walking out the door in 5 minutes to drive down there.
-
Lisa, you and Bradley take care! No speeding or traffic accidents! Prayers for your MAMA,
Good Morning Beakers! Bbl . Going back to read today’s now posts.
Lisa and Bradley may be driving through some bad weather! Storms yesterday had a portion of I ten closed due to flooding and debris on the road. Today there are tornado warnings and more heavy rain predicted. They maybe behind this mess but caution to them and prayers as they track thru this stormy time! Wish they were flying! Ugh!

Lani, hope morning finds you feeling better. Glad Mike is home with you and hope you get snuggles from Sadie
And the kitties! Prayers continue for Lisa, Bradley and the family!

PUFF- thanks for reply on Key Bridge. I don't follow it much. Just pick up bits and pieces.
KAREN- thanks for you added input on the weather. My heart is heavy with prayer for Beakers.

10:48, 5/14 Iris chooses to use her strong beak to lift off with the fish. She must have switched mid-air to her foot because she landed on the Owl Pole with fish in talon. She stays a bit but flies again mostly likely to her favorite perch.

A message from Dr. Greene on naming NG.
Hello everyone!
What an exciting spring this has been for Iris at the Hellgate nest! It seemed like there would be a repeat of the previous four breeding seasons, with Iris mating with Louis, laying eggs, but since she did not have any help, she eventually got so hungry she had to leave the eggs unprotected to go catch a fish. Almost instantly ravens swooped in and ate the eggs.
But "NEW GUY" - an unattached male showed up, courted Iris and she accepted him. They quickly formed what is looking like a very strong pair bond. But when Iris laid her first egg of the season, NEW GUY quickly threw it out of the nest. (More on that interesting behavior later!).
Before giving a proper name to NEW GUY, we wanted to wait to make sure that he was going to be a dedicated mate. After Iris laid her second and third eggs, NEW GUY has turned into a wonderful partner for Iris - bringing in lots of fish, giving her breaks to go off on her own, incubating, and bringing in sticks and softer material for lining the nest.
So now we need your help giving NEW GUY a better name! We have come up with a short list of names that seem appropriate. If you are interested, please follow this link for more information on the names and cast your vote!
https://hubs.la/Q02w-QMz0
We will close the voting in one week, on Monday, 20 May 2024 at midnight (Hellgate nest time). We will announce NEW GUY'S official name the next day, on Tuesday, 21 May 2024!
Thanks! Erick Greene and the Hellgate Osprey Team!

Direct message from Lisa:
"Can you please update the Beak? This is what I know so far from brother throughout the day while driving. They said mama had a heart attack and a pulmonary embolism in her lungs which caused all of this. The doctors know I am on the way but won't be there till tomorrow and they are saying it's getting harder on her body to keep resuscitating her. I told Brien if they have to let her go I would rather her go in peace"
Next note "The rain has been horrible. The whole way we are only in North Carolina. We're gonna try to get on the other side of Atlanta and spend the night there. That's only about four hours if we get up early in the morning and leave to head there. She is in ICU so only certain visiting hours."

LANI Thanks for Dr Greene's report. He's really excited ;D I voted for Finnegan in the naming contest but all were good! LOL I've got to watch the nest for a while and notice how pale NG is. I hadn't noticed that yet.
OLDGUY Cool greeting for KB ;D

Direct message from Lisa:
"Can you please update the Beak? This is what I know so far from brother throughout the day while driving. They said mama had a heart attack and a pulmonary embolism in her lungs which caused all of this. The doctors know I am on the way but won't be there till tomorrow and they are saying it's getting harder on her body to keep resuscitating her. I told Brien if they have to let her go I would rather her go in peace"
Next note "The rain has been horrible. The whole way we are only in North Carolina. We're gonna try to get on the other side of Atlanta and spend the night there. That's only about four hours if we get up early in the morning and leave to head there. She is in ICU so only certain visiting hours."
Thank you Tsk,
Lisa and Bradley I'm so sorry, sending prayers.... 🙏

Tsk, thanks.
I’m a fan of .Finnegan as well. He will be known as Finn and Iris can become Feather! I had to say it! All have a good evening and seds.

Such terribly sad news for LisaG and family. :(
Lisa Pip and I will be praying for your mama and entire family.
We are so saddened to here of this terrible news.
-
Thank you, tsk, tig, baz, lani and esp. oldguy!. Yes, it's my birthday today on such a sad day for Lisa
I thought about not posting at all today to keep the space open for her, but:
My birthday is always tempting to be sad for myself without my dear husband, Scott, as he always made it so special.
So, wanting to thank you for acknowledging my day on such a sad day.
Hugs, Lisa..
-
LANI- so glad you're feeling better. Thank you for TR update on sloths. And, esp for the Iris update and Dr. Greene's note on naming 'New Guy'.
I voted ;)
OG-nice cake for KB. I had bought a floral cake for my mom's birthday back in the 1980,s . She loved it .
{{{LISA}}}
HI CLYNN

KB Happy belated B-Day to you.
So you're the one responsible for the candle Canada wildfires ay'. ;)
What are you and clynn about like now, in your 50's?
May your walks rise above the wet areas and your boots stay dry for miles.
I have a warm fuzzy feeling that Scott walks beside you on every outdoorsy step.
Now if you happen to have a glash of wine on this trail for your BD, don't loose the blazes. 8)
Happy Trails from BL and PIP. :-*

BL. Thanks for One for the Road :)
Oldguy, thanks for bio of JJ Cale. It's a new name for me.
Eagle-Duck's link to the Beak candle Room had changed. So, I had to resign into the Beak Candle Room three or four months ago.
There are some changes in this new room. Sometimes you can see the 2nd page or not. I have two pages of candles lit.
When you click the link into the room. You will see the below words posted on the top page.
To light a candle, please click on the word "here" and it will take you to light a new candle.
Fill in your name, etc. Follow direction to light your candle and it will be the first one on top of the first page.
The other lit candles will move one over. It will not take you to another page. That arranges itself automatically now.
Also, the candles stay on longer that it did before.
Vigil: Beak Room
A place where we support 100 people from across the United States
Click here to light a candle and add your own intention.
Good night! Thinking of Lisa's mama, Lisa and family.

Good morning Beakers
Thank you again for all the kind words and thoughts.
We finally made it to just outside Atlanta around 10pm last night. Google says 4 hrs 33 min to Mobile from where I am. Have talked to my brother several times along the way yesterday. Last thing he said was the doctors told him that they could do some kind of surgery on mama to remove those clots in her lungs, but that won’t keep her from being in the vegetative state she is in.
Kb- Happy Belated Birthday 🥳
I hope it was a good one for you.

Phyl, lovely Bluebird good morning!
tsk, I knew you would love that puzzle...stained glass and cats, perfect! Live each moment to the fullest, wise words, because everything can change in a flash.
Lani, you like the puzzle too! Then I am double glad it popped up on FB! I wish I had a place to put a puzzle together! Maybe someday... You just never know what will happen! Iris and NG are proof of that! Thanks for keeping the Beak Candle Room going, I am going to light candles more often...'tis a good thing. ;D Good riddance to that dang migraine...
oldguy, thanks for the JJ Cale info, I saved it in my R&R board on Pinterest. Good music.
BL, and thanks for The Breeze! Just ask Kelsay...I am 29! Every year...
Plaza Blanca, NM is a beautiful set of white stone cliffs that provide breathtaking views and a very magical atmosphere.

Clynn, I love New Mexico! Wonder why I never moved there ! Great diversity in the state and not as busy as Arizona with some of the same characteristics! Gorgeous picture! No beautiful oceans tho! Lol, one cannot have everything in life! Yes Puff,one can travel around and have it all for a while!
Steamy hot weather seems to have settled in replacing the storms! House keeper coming Monday to hose down the screen porch! May work on a few things out there! Buy some bleach for the patio!
Praying for Lisa!

PHYL What a beautiful bluebird in your AM post.
CLYNN As a friend said to me yesterday " One last breath ends life on earth!" You are a perpetual 29 and don't look a day older! ;) ;)
Gosh you post all these beautiful places I've never heard of. Reminds me at first glance of a choir of singers with long robes :)

TSK - agree the cliffs look like people in choir robes, 'one last breath ...life on earth' ;)

Tsk and all, I was sad when I discovered Eagle-Duck's link no longer worked. Our last connection to this wonderful man. It broke my heart that night, :'( ... anyway, I didn't want to bother anyone about it. I made a small donation and quietly got it going again. I probably should edit the opening words. At the time, I just wanted to get it back online that night. They had requirements, which made it a bit difficult, probably wanted to be sure Beak Room wasn't a porn site or something. LOLOLOL!! 8)
{{{Clynn}}} I agree with Tsk, beautiful sentiments for Lisa and our Beak family :-* ...beautiful white stone cliffs in NM... Forever 29 ;D :-*

I'm glad to hear Dr. Green has decided Iris's New Guy (NG) is now deserving of a more personal name. I haven't decided which name I like best - after reading the meanings behind each one, I like them all! :) :-*
Phyl, thanks for that link about Challenger. It's great to see he is still getting along so well!
TSK, that stained glass cats puzzle that Clynn posted for you looks like a really good one! I hope you'll enjoy working on it, even though it's more pieces than you usually work.

Take care, All. :)

some bounce
With Camper's help I finished some more yard werk. And while he was at his discount movie I measured a new piece of netting for the service berries in the garage (where there is no wind).
Resting now and catching up on tennis. I watch the recording in fast forward, for a myriad of reasons... unless it is Coco. I watch most sports that way. I only watch a smothering of basketball and prefer to watch it live.
The clique won't say... Which is ok. Best not to gossip. But, I'm very observant. My best guess is one person said something a bit too suggestive to another. Not sure if they offended party took it to management or not.

Oh... I like them all too, but my fave is Finn.
